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 -
