Google Summer of Code March 2019 update
Update on this round of Debian / Google summer of code applications.
On Thu 28 March 2019 with tags announce gsoc outreachy

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.
