My internship period is now over and I just wanted to take this chance to say a big thank you to everyone who supported me throughout. Special thanks go to my mentors @hanni and @ipstenu for their help and guidance, and to @jenmylo for organising WordPress’ involvement with GNOME’s OPW.
I was looking forward to meeting a few more of you in person at WordCamp Europe, however, unfortunately, due to personal circumstances, I will no longer be attending this weekend.
Getting more involved in the WordPress community has been wonderful, and I hope to continue contributing back to the community far beyond this internship. If you are, or if you know of a, woman interested in becoming more involved in open-source communities, please do consider the GNOME Outreach Program for Women: http://gnome.org/opw/. They are now accepting applicants for their next round, starting December 10th. Feel free to contact me if you want any more information on the application process.
Thank you again.
