While working on this article, I collected more sources than I've included, so here's a list of them in case they're helpful. One thing to work on could be including more notes about participants in the program (and their projects) in the "History" section.

"It is open to ... " That is a lot of text. Wouldn't it be more concise to say "No Asian or Caucasian males need apply"? 128.237.82.12 ( talk) 04:17, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
Mainspace of this article has two sentences about Sarah Sharp:
As of 2015 per WP:ABOUTSELF, Sharp's role in Outreachy is to "help coordinate the overall Outreachy program" and Sharp is no longer a kernel developer. [1]
I don't think we need any changes in mainspace; we describe Sharp in wikipedia's voice as being "kernel contributor Sarah Sharp" in mid-2013, and OPW-kernel-coordinator, which are both still true. Similarly, we describe Sharp in mid-2015 as being "Outreachy coordinator and Linux kernel contributor" who won an award from the backer of a major Linux-distro. Although it is true that at the time of the June 2015 award, Sharp was no longer contributing to the kernel, past contributions (2006 through 2014/2015) were the basis; the sources being used for the award describe Sharp as "a software developer who has been involved in Linux kernel development since 2006" and as "embedded software architect at Intel" when they initially mention Sharp. Putting this note here, so that folks will have the timeline of events behind the two sentences, plus potential future sentences that might be added. 75.108.94.227 ( talk) 13:54, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
