Submitted on 2015-01-22 16:15. Just over a year ago in Perth, we invited you to a party at our place, and we feel as if that is exactly what #lca2015 has been. You have Been Awesome guests, and it's been a great party. We had fantastic feedback from our event venues.

At #lca2015 one of last year's Outreach Program for Women interns gave a presentation:
Coccinelle: A program matching and transformation tool by Himangi Saraogi

Linux kernel OPW internships have been hugely successful this year. Applicants from last round got 551 patches accepted and 4 out of 11 past interns have jobs as Linux kernel developers. So it is with mixed, bittersweet feelings that I announce I will be stepping down as the coordinator for the Linux kernel OPW internships.  The program is running smoothly, and I find joy every day in watching the OPW Linux kernel interns learn and grow.  However, I am no longer a part of the Linux kernel community.  Julia Lawall, the maintainer of Coccinelle, will be stepping into the role of OPW kernel coordinator.

Fortunately, I’m not leaving the OPW program altogether.  I’ve agreed to step up to help Marina Zhurakhinskaya and Karen Sandler coordinate the larger OPW program, and I will be there to help Julia when she takes over as kernel coordinator in February 2015.

Thank you to everyone who mentored interns this last year (+Adrian Chadd, Bob Copeland, +Andy Grover, Nick Kossifidis, +Greg Kroah-Hartman+Paul McKenney, Pablo Neira, Julia LaWall, +Rik van Riel, +Luis Rodriguez, Josh Triplett, and +PJ Waskiewicz) and the Linux kernel internship sponsors for the last year, +Intel, +The Linux Foundation, +Linaro, and +Codethink Ltd.. Together, we can work to make the Linux kernel more diverse.
It's been a busy winter for the FOSS Outreach Program for Women (OPW). On October 13, 2014, seven (yes, seven!) of the former Linux kernel OPW interns presented their projects at LinuxCon Europe. From left to right, the OPW alumni are: Valentina Manea, Kristina Martšenko, Ana Rey, ...

There were lots of good comments praising her presentation. It wasn't surprising to us since she won award for best presenter at Kiwicon in Dec 2014.
