[OISF/outreachy] We're halfway through!

[Shivani Bhardwaj]

Hello, potential Outreachy interns!

This is a reminder that we are halfway through our application period
and are thrilled to have a great participation from your side.

If you have already made a contribution
-----------------------------------------------------

Approved
========
If your contributions have been approved, please feel free to claim
any other tasks. It would be great to pick up a task of a little
higher difficulty level than your previous task so that you learn and
grow. This will also help your mentors to judge if you are capable of
understanding the project and how well can you take up the tasks in
future.

Not Approved
===========
If you already have made a contribution and have been requested
changes, kindly address the changes and redo your work.
In case there is no comment on your contribution, please send a polite
reminder to the mentors to look it up.


If you have not made any contribution
---------------------------------------------------

Do not let impostor syndrome get to you. Even if you have been unable
to make any contributions so far, note that this is the time. We are
~10 days away from the application deadline however you are free to
make contributions afterwards as well.
Please try before giving up. Communicate as much as you can. Ask
whenever you're stuck or unclear about something.
