+#Astropy participation in Outreachy
+
+##Summary
+
+[Outreachy](https://www.outreachy.org/) is a well established, impactful internship initiative with 
+a good track record and a very clear eligibility criteria to support people from 
+[groups underrepresented in the technology industry](https://www.outreachy.org/apply/eligibility/).
+Interns work remotely with mentors from Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) communities on projects. 
+
+##Team
+[Brigitta Sipőcz](https://github.com/bsipocz)
+[David Pérez-Suárez](https://github.com/dpshelio)
+[Stuart Mumford](https://github.com/Cadair)
+[Zé Vinícius](https://github.com/mirca) 
+
+##Plan
+
+The team, consisting of experienced Google Summer of Code (GSoC) organizational admins, will 
+coordinate the participation, and if additional fund raising allows join Astropy efforts with other
+OpenAstronomy projects (e.g. Sunpy). Proposing project ideas, and volunteering for mentoring will
+be open to the wider Astropy team, similarly to GSoC.
+
+##Impact
+
+As it was highlighted in the call for proposal the Astropy community is extremely biased in many 
+axes. This proposal combines the original mentoring intent of the funding in the Moore grant with
+Diversity and Inclusion aspirations.
+Outreachy has an excellent track record to tap into talent pools that none of the usual Astropy
+efforts reach. The internship provides a long coding mentorship for people from underrepresented 
+groups, as well as some mentoring to gain familiarity with open source workflows for the people
+participating in the earlier, and shorter contributing phase Outreachy.
+
+##Budget
+
+We propose to fund at least one intern, with the budget of $6500. Additional placements might 
+come from a larger budget allocation. To participate as a mentoring organization in Outreachy 
+FOSS communities need to have secured funding for at least one intern ($6,500). The budget covers
+the internship stipend, intern travel stipend, and Outreachy’s accounting fee.
