The Debian project is quite diverse and big, and it is hard for us Debian contributors to keep track of what happens. Not many contributors are even aware that this [email protected] address exists I believe. So I would like to suggest to send these reports to [email protected] too, so that our developer and non-developer community will be more aware of what has been done for/with Debian via GSoC and Outreachy. Projects that are more of technical nature such as this year's work by Alexandre Viau could even send their final report to [email protected] in my opinion. This will help students to receive comments and hopefully stay or become more integrated in Debian AND make more Debian contributors aware of the great work you have all done! Thank you, Ulrike
