Hello all,

Glad to inform that the results of Outreachy round 11 are out, and one of our candidate - Josephine Lim made it to the program for her proposal on Easier categorization of pictures in Upload to Commons Android app - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T115101. Congratulations to the candidate and the mentors involved. The select should follow up with the mentors to finish the 'Community bonding period' as per [1].

We had around 13 strong proposals submitted in the Outreachy application system for 9 projects - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/outreachy-round-11/ - but the Outreachy organization team made their rule of "Little or No-Commitment during Dec-March", and our applicants had to back off, considering most of them where University students.

The applicants who couldn't make it this time are welcome to accomplish the project as per the proposal considering they have mentors ready ( if there is agreement from both sides ). This should possibly make them really strong candidates for the next round of GSoC/Outreachy, which is the bright side.

Special thanks to all the mentors, who actively ranked the applicants before the deadline, and making it smooth for the administration team. The total listing of selections from all Organizations can be found over here - https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy/2015/DecemberMarch
