OpenNews: This is it. Seven days to apply.

In seven short days your chance to apply to become a 2013 Knight-Mozilla Fellow will be over. Because at midnight on Saturday August 11th, the application window closes.

We are looking for the best developers, hackers, data geeks, engineers, analytics nerds, math whizzes, and technologists around the world to spend 10 incredible months hacking and experimenting in eight of the best newsrooms on the planet. You’ll also travel the globe attending conferences and hack days, to collaborate with some of the brightest minds out there, and to have an incredible amount of fun.

Don’t take my word for it. Ask our current five Knight-Mozilla Fellows, or ask some of the newsrooms that will be your host. The opportunity is incredible—don’t miss out.

The application is super short—just 450 words and some links. We want to make it easy for you to apply, so go do it—because in one week the opportunity will be over.
