[Marina Zhurakhinskaya <marinaz redhat com>]

Hi all!

The GNOME Project has put out a press release that highlights the accomplishments of the 15 female interns who worked on GNOME this summer and announces 12 new interns!

"In each of the previous six years, at most one female student participated in Google Summer of Code in GNOME. This year, there were seven. The GNOME Outreach Program for Women attracted these applicants and connected them with mentors, who helped them with their first contribution. While creating and landing the required contribution, the applicants learned first-hand the steps and technology involved in the project’s development and how gratifying and even addictive it is to contribute to Free Software. Once the internships started, they had the knowledge and eagerness to dive in into their work."
