The Ford Foundation and Mozilla are joining together to create the Ford-Mozilla Open Web Fellows program.
This program is designed to find emerging technical leaders who have a passion for Internet policy and advocacy. Each year, the Ford Foundation and Mozilla will select a group of developers, technologists, hackers and data crunchers to spend 10 months working as a Ford-Mozilla Open Web Fellow embedded in host organizations.
Fellowships are paid positions, and emphasize open-source development that strengthens specific organizations and the larger policy and advocacy community.
Applications for the 2015 Fellows are open now, and the deadline to apply is Wednesday, December 31, 2014.
