Welcome interns!

[Marina Zhurakhinskaya <marinaz redhat com>]

Hi all,

GNOME accepted 32 Google Summer of Code interns and 7 Outreach Program for Women interns! Additionally, of 
the students who submitted the same proposal with GNOME and another organization, the Mono Project accepted a 
student to work on F-Spot and PiTiVi accepted 3 students. All the interns made a contribution to the project 
they were applying to work on and connected with their mentors during the application process. We are 
thrilled to have these talented and dedicated contributors have a chance to spend the whole summer working on 
GNOME! Thanks to Google, Bloomberg, Red Hat, the Free Software Foundation, and the GNOME Foundation for 
making these internships possible!

Thank you to all the mentors who helped the applicants along the way and will guide the participants this 
summer! Everyone, please help out mentors from your project by also helping the participants when possible.

Please feel free to arrange to meet with interns from your town for beer, juice, and/or hacking! (Interns, 
please feel free to reply with an update if you are in a different city this summer from where your school 
is.)

Below, is the list of all the interns’ projects. The ones without a link are OPW projects. The interns will 
blog about their work on Planet GNOME throughout the summer.

Thanks to everyone and welcome to the interns!
Marina, on behalf of GSoC and OPW admins
