GitHub Accelerator program

[Jeremy Monat]

Wanted to make sure folks knew about this GitHub Accelerator program. It's geared towards helping open-source maintainers (or contributors) "take the leap into full-time [open-source] work." In contrast to Google Summer of Code, it seems targeted to folks already heavily involved in a project, rather than new-ish contributors. It offers $20K for the 10-week program, a commitment of about 10 hours per week. Those hours seem to be reserved for being mentored, rather than contributing to your open-source project itself.

Applications are due by December 31, so not much time left, but the application is a simple ~1 page web form. You can also apply as a team for a given open source project (max of 3 people).
