Project Description

The OSPO Communications Intern assists with communications and outreach efforts for the Open Source Program Office. The goal is to provide accessible resources for developers, learners, and researchers who want to code in the open and to remove barriers in the open source community.

Internship duties include interviewing open source practitioners for the “Faces of Open Source” spotlight, developing content for the Data Science Updates newsletter, crafting messaging for various audiences, and assisting with publicizing OSPO events and initiatives.
