Congratulations and welcome to all the interns!
The Google Summer of Code program is possible in Debian thanks to the efforts of
Debian Developers and Debian Contributors that dedicate part of their free time to
mentor interns and outreach tasks.

debian-outreach mailing-list, chat with us on our
IRC channel or reach out to the individual projects’ team
mailing lists.
