The GNOME Foundation received 181 applications for the Google Summer of Code (SoC) program, but not a single application was from a female developer. The lack of women participating in GNOME, and free software in general, has spurred the GNOME foundation to start a summer program to reach out to female developers
The Women's Summer Outreach Program (WSOP) will accept three developers, and pay a stipend of $3,000 to each developer for a project to be completed by September. Like Google's SoC, the program is geared to students.
