It also covers Casper, sharding, client updates, synchronization, refactoring, bug fixes, and testing improvements. ### Source excerpt Metropolis is finally (almost) here! The fork for Byzantium, the first and larger part of Metropolis, succeeded on the testnet over two weeks ago, and the likely date for the fork on the mainnet has been set to block 4.37 million, which is expected to be on Oct 17.

The article covers its remote, paid, three-month internships, mentoring, communication practices, and the author's project to test and refactor Marionette's Python test runner. ### Source excerpt Today was my first day as an Outreachy intern with Mozilla! What does that even mean? Why is it super exciting? How did I swing such a sweet gig? How will I be spending my summer non-vacation? Read on to find out! What is Outreachy? Outreachy is a fantastic initiative to get more women and members of other underrepresented groups involved in Free & Open Source Software. Through Outreachy, organizations that create open-source software (e.g. Mozilla, GNOME, Wikimedia, to name a few) take on interns to work full-time on a specific project for 3 months. There are two internship rounds each year, May-August and December-March. Interns are paid for their time, and receive guidance/supervision from an assigned mentor, usually a full-time employee of the organization who leads the given project. Oh yeah, and the whole thing is done remotely! For a lot of people (myself included) who don't/can't/won't live in a major tech hub, the opportunity to work remotely removes one of the biggest barriers to jumping in to the professional tech community. But as FOSS developers tend to be pretty distributed anyway (I think my project's team, for example, is on about 3 continents), it's relatively easy for the intern to integrate with the team. It seems that most communication takes place over IRC and, to a lesser extent, videoconferencing. What does an Outreachy intern do? Anything and everything! Each project and organization is different. But in general, interns spend their time... Coding (or not) A lot of projects involve writing code, though what that actually entails (language, framework, writing vs. refactoring, etc.) varies from organization to organization and project to project. However, there are also projects that don't involve code at all, and instead have the intern working on equally important things like design, documentation, or community management. As for me specifically, I'll be working on the project Test-driven Refactoring of Marionette's Python Test Runner. You can
