Hi all, GNOME accepted 24 Google Summer of Code interns and one Outreachy intern! Additionally, one student submitted the same proposal with GNOME and with the Mono Project to work on Banshee, and was accepted by the Mono Project. 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 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! We are especially glad to have five mentors who have previously participated in GSoC with GNOME as students - Sebastian Dröge, Izidor Matušov, Tobias Mueller, Lasse Schuirmann, and Carlos Soriano! 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.) Below is the list of all the interns’, their projects and their mentors. You can learn more about the Google Summer of Code projects at https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreach/SummerOfCode/2015/Projects. The interns have already started blogging about their work on Planet GNOME and will continue throughout the summer. Thanks to everyone and welcome to the interns!
