Summary

We've had three strong applications to the Outreach Program for Women (and only one funded spot this round). The decision was made to award this round's spot to Asal Mirzaeva for "Server-side XCB", with Christian Linhart as mentor. Congratulations Asal.

Items discussed

ITEM: OPW decision
Three applicants for our single funded spot. Projects proposed are
"server-side XCB" (2 applicants) and "Porting Old Glean tests to the New
Piglit Framework". All three applications were strong, the decision was
based effectively on the full-time commitments of the applicants. Two had
outside commitments that (would have) impacted the required 40h full-time
work.

Asal Mirzaeva was awarded this round's spot for "server-side XCB", we look
forward to working with here and her mentor Christian Linhart.
