Hello all,
Google Summer of Code 2016 [1], and Outreachy'12 is closing in, and this year we have a few change in rules. We are lifting our intern participation limit of one GSoC/Outreachy with Wikimedia per student, from this year. This was discussed [2], and repeating configuration is expected to make sure continued work on ongoing projects, adding up to the goal of gathering in more long term contributors.
Please note that a previous intern who had participated in one Outreachy project can still participate in 2 GSoC rounds with Wikimedia, but not three ( which would total 4 internships ). The change came after Google announced its new limitation of maximum 3 GSoC per student in one lifetime.
We need to get all the previous interns and mentors back in action, and closely update the GSoC'16 board [3]. Find some interesting task that can be a possible tech project ? do update the Possible-Tech-Projects board [4]. Your thoughts are also welcome[5] on getting our previous interns+mentors back in action.
