Hi,

I wish to use this opportunity to congratulate all the 6 students
(including me) that made it to the end of the GSoC program 2016 in the
Wikimedia foundation. It was not easy but we made it to the end. It was a
great time working with the Wikimedia Foundation and I had a very great
experience.

Thank you Alangi for starting the thread. Let me add something more over
here.

Google Summer of Code 2016 has came to an end last week, and 6 of our GSoC
projects could make it till the end. It is a work-done moment for everyone
involved and we hope all of the same become production ready soon. Let me
pull in the projects, and a public report on each:

1. Extension for page creating/editing notification -

2. Accuracy Review of Wikipedia -

(Student: Priyanka)
3. Automated Testing and Integration of IFTTT support to Wikidata -

4. Improving static analysis tools for MediaWiki -

Hearty congratulations to the mentors and students involved, and to all who
could participate in this round of GSoC/Outreachy. Three of the Outreachy
selects were considered for GSoC, and hence there is no specific results
for Outreachy.

*Showcase* for GSoC projects along with CREDIT, this week:

Please join us in the GSoC showcase of all evaluation completed projects
along with CREDIT showcase, this week on Sep 7, 2016 (1800 UTC). Please
find the original email of the same over here[1], which have instructions
for interns to add their projects to the showcase, and other arrangements,
etc. Those interns who cannot can make it to this week CREDIT, are welcome
to do it in the following one.

The showcase will include a minimum 5 mins demo, which can include a
presentation of some sort and a short and sweet explanation of what was
done as part of the program. We expect the mentors too online and live, to
make this a success! This would be the best time to provide links to blog
posts the interns have done on the same too, so that the community can
catch up!

All the invited are *encouraged* to participate in the showcase, as its a
unique opportunity and platform to show your projects to a broader range of
people and not to mention get experience and learn the professional skills
needed for a technical presentation.

Actually, I have just learned that WikiToLearn was recognized as a
Wikimedia User Group last month:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiToLearn_User_Group

Another tech-savvy group in the Wikimedia movement, good news!
