GNOME intern Akshay Warrier made this to tease us mentors about the state of PRs reviews 😄

By the way, Akshay wrote a pretty cool blog post about their experience at GUADEC

There is a link to the video of their great project presentation too.

I'm proud to have gotten my employer to be a "Ceiling Smasher" sponsor for #Outreachy.

Start the conversation with yours, and unlock doors for the next 1,000 interns.

Does anyone know about any initiatives like #Outreachy? I went to check the website, but the application deadline has passed.

I'm going to try to invest my efforts in #opensource.

Psst! A new version of Workbench is out.

If you've been wanting to play with #gtk, now is a good time.

Highlights are

• Fully sandboxed
• An improved previewer
• 18 new library entries
• Use GNOME SDK 44

Thank you to all new contributors, specially #GSoC and #Outreachy applicants.

📰 ICYMI: The #Outreachy program approved 733 applicants to continue onto the contribution period; they received a record 3,308 initial applications for this mid-year round. 🎉

So many unreached potential #FreeSoftware contributors. Read more about this round, and donate a little money if you can to support this important #OpenSource #FLOSS #FOSS program.

For every new threat I receive from #RMS supporters, I will be making a donation to #Outreachy to help purge our #FreeSoftware movement of sexism, bigotry, and abuse by making it truly a movement for everyone.

Kudos to #Outreachy for its integrity in publicly banning #FSF and affiliated projects from participation in the program due to the reinstatement of Richard #Stallman to its Board of Directors.

If you've participated in #Outreachy in the past, or you're interested in learning more about it, mark your calendars for 8 February when there will be a Twitter Chat (yes, I know!) Q&A session.

Outreachy is a great opportunity for new people to get involved in #OpenSource and #FreeSoftware, so please spread the word about both the Q&A session and the program itself!
