Google Summer of Code March 2019 update

Update on this round of  Debian / Google summer of code applications.

Debian is welcoming applicants for Outreachy and GSoC 2019

On Thu 28 March 2019 with tags announce gsoc outreachy
Written 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.
