Jingjie Jiang selected as OPW intern for Debsources

I'm glad to announce that Jingjie Jiang, AKA sophiejjj, has been selected as intern to work on Debsources as part of the FOSS Outreach Program (formerly known as Outreach Program for Women, or OPW). I'll co-mentor her work together with Matthieu Caneill.

I've just added sophiejjj's blog to Planet Debian, so you will soon hear about her work in the Debian blogosphere.

I've been impressed by the interest that the Debsources proposal in this round of OPW has spawned. Together with Matthieu I have interacted with more than a dozen OPW applicants. Many of them have contributed useful patches during the application period, and those patches have been in production at http://sources.debian.net since quite a while now (see the commit log for details). A special mention goes to Akshita Jha, who has shown a lot of determination in tackling both simple and complex issues affecting Debsources. I hope there will be other chances to work with her in the future.

OPW internship will begin December 9th, fasten your seat belts for a boost in Debsources development!
