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)
