On Thu 28 March 2019 with tags announce gsoc outreachyWritten by Laura Arjona Reina and Lesley Mitchell
Debian is dedicated to increasing the diversity of contributors to the project and improving the inclusivity of the project. We strongly believe working towards these goals provides benefits both for people from backgrounds that are currently under-represented in free software, and for the wider movement, by increasing the range of skills, experiences and viewpoints contributing to it.
As part of this outreach effort, Debian is participating in the next round of Outreachy.
The application period for the May 2019 to August 2019 round has been extended until April 2, and Debian offers the following projects:
- Continuous Integration for biological applications inside Debian
- Debian Continuous Integration: user experience improvements
- Reproducible Builds
Outreachy invites applicants who are women (both cis and trans), trans men, and genderqueer people to apply. Anyone who faces systemic bias or discrimination in the technology industry of their country is also invited to apply.
Don't wait up! You can learn more details on how to submit your application or get help in our wiki page for Outreachy and the Outreachy website.
Debian is also participating in the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) with eight projects, and the student application period is open until April 9.
You can learn more details on how to submit your GSoC application or get help for in our wiki page for GSoC and the Google Summer of Code website.
