During the project we may ask them to post updates regularly to the mailing list about the task they're working on, in order to also receive feedback (not just from the organization, but from the community itself). After the program, we will encourage him to keep collaborating in the project and/or providing help to the community. If possible, and suitable for both parties, we may also hire the student or offer a internship at Scrapinghub to continue working on Scrapy itself and projects based on it. + +Are you a new organization who has a Googler or other organization to vouch for you?
