Debian continues participating in Outreachy, and as you might have already noticed, Debian has selected two interns for the Outreachy December 2025 - March 2026 round.
After a busy contribution phase and a competitive selection process, Hellen Chemtai Taylor and Isoken Ibizugbe are officially working as interns on Debian Images Testing with OpenQA for the past month, mentored by Tássia Camões Araújo, Roland Clobus and Philip Hands.
Congratulations and welcome Hellen Chemtai Taylor and Isoken Ibizugbe!
The team also congratulates all candidates for their valuable contributions, with special thanks to those who manage to continue participating as volunteers.
From the official website: Outreachy provides three-month internships for people from groups traditionally underrepresented in tech. Interns work remotely with mentors from Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) communities on projects ranging from programming, user experience, documentation, illustration and graphical design, to data science.
The Outreachy programme is possible in Debian thanks to the efforts of Debian developers and contributors who dedicate their free time to mentor students and outreach tasks, and the Software Freedom Conservancy's administrative support, as well as the continued support of Debian's donors, who provide funding for the internships.
Join us and help to improve Debian! You can follow the work of the Outreachy interns reading their blog posts (syndicated in Planet Debian), and chat with the team at the debian-openqa matrix channel. For Outreachy matters, the programme admins can be reached on #debian-outreach IRC/matrix channel and mailing list.
