Furthermore, we are thrilled to inform you that Srishti Sethi and I (Gopa) recently attended the Google Summer of Code Mentor Summit held at Google Headquarters in Sunnyvale, California. We represented the outstanding work of our nine GSoC 2023 interns on Wikimedia projects and had the privilege of learning from peers in various open-source software fields, including arts, education, music, robotics, and more. This event, conducted in an unconference, participant-driven style, provided a platform for attendees to discuss the challenges of running open-source projects and share valuable tips and advice for mentoring interns. It's worth noting that Wikimedia has been an active participant in Google Summer of Code since 2006.

Once again, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to all our interns, mentors, and everyone who supported them throughout this journey. We eagerly anticipate their continued contributions to Wikimedia projects.

Cheers, Wikimedia Organization Administrators (Srishti Sethi, Soham Datta, Sheila and Gopa)
