This is the highest number of students accepted since Debian started participating in this program. The list of selected students and projects they're working is <a href="http://bits.debian.org/2013/05/welcome-gsoc-students-2013.html";>publicly</a> <a href="http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/google/gsoc2013/debian";>available</a>. If you are interested in one of these projects, you are encouraged to come and join the #debian-soc IRC channel, or to contact the students and their mentors directly. </p> <toc-add-entry name="opw">Outreach Program for Women, the result of the experiment</toc-add-entry> <p> Mònica Ramírez Arceda <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2013/06/msg00002.html";>announced the result</a> of Debian participation in the <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/OutreachProgramForWomen";>Outreach Program for Women</a>. One of the four applicants was accepted, but also received a slot for the Google Summer of Code. As a consequence, this internship was not used. Since the Outreach Program for Women is run twice a year, Mònica has opened the discussion about further Debian participation with a call for more volunteers. Join the #debian-opw IRC channel if you are willing to help with this initiative. </p> <toc-add-entry name="dplbits">Bits from the DPL</toc-add-entry> <p> Lucas Nussbaum sent his <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2013/06/msg00000.html";>monthly report of DPL activities for May 2013</a>. Among other things, Lucas reminded readers that it could still be possible to submit talks for <a href="http://debconf13.debconf.org/";>DebConf13, in Vaumarcus, Switzerland</a>, and called for the creation of a Debian trademark team, handling the trademark use requests that are being received following the publication of the <a href="$(HOME)/trademark#policy">Debian trademark policy</a>. He also mentioned that discussions which occurred during the last DPL campaign have been summarised by Brian Gupta on a <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DPL/Ideas";>dedicated page of the Debian Wiki</a>, and encouraged people to contribute to maintaining this page when ideas are raised on Debian lists. </p> <toc-add-entry name="dmo">Expiration of debian-multimedia.org</toc-add-entry> <p> debian-multimedia.org was a popular unofficial repository of Debian packages. Last year, this service moved to a new domain, and despite efforts from Debian, the debian-multimedia.org domain recently expired, and has now been registered by someone unknown to Debian. <q>This is a good example of the importance of the use of cryptography to secure APT repositories</q>, <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2013/06/msg00000.html";>DPL Lucas Nussbaum said</a>. The Debian project would like to emphasise the need to consider possible security issues when using third-party repositories and the importance of not blindly adding keys to the APT keyring. </p> <toc-add-entry name="other">Other news</toc-add-entry> <p> A Swedish municipal e-service named <q><a href="http://fixamingata.se/";>Fixa Min Gata</a></q> (<q>fix my street</q> in English), used for reporting potholes, broken paving stones, graffiti, non-functioning lamp posts, and other problems, <a href="https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/elibrary/case/swedish-public-open-source-movement-working-bottom";>has been reported</a> to be powered by Debian servers. </p> <toc-add-entry name="newcontributors">New Debian Contributors</toc-add-entry> <p> 4 applicants have been <a href="http://lists.debian.org//debian-project/2013/06/msg00001.html";>accepted</a> as Debian Maintainers since the previous issue of the Debian Project News.
