 Here's what happened in the [Reproducible Builds](https://reproducible-builds.org) effort between Sunday February 3rd and Saturday February 9th 2019:
 
-* This year, we intend to participate in [Google Summer of Code](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/) 2019. If you are interested in becoming a student or mentor please see [our entry on the wiki page](https://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2019/Projects#SummerOfCode2019.2FProjects.2FReproducibleBuilds.Reproducible_Builds).

 * In a blog post entitled "[Huawei case demonstrates importance of Free Software for security](https://fsfe.org/news/2019/news-20190205-01.en.html)" the [FSFE](https://fsfe.org) raised their voice in the [recent wider discussions regarding Huawei and 5G](https://www.zdnet.com/article/huawei-will-need-5-years-and-2b-to-resolve-uk-security-concerns-report/):
 
-  > To establish trust in critical infrastructure like 5G, it is a crucial precondition that all software code powering those devices is published under a Free and Open Source Software licence" and furthermore points out that in case of binary distribution it is "necessary that there are reproducible builds.

-* Reproducible Builds were present at both [FOSDEM 2019](https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/) and [CopyLeftConf](https://2019.copyleftconf.org/) handing out t-shirts to contributors. The latter event was run under the auspices of the [Software Freedom Conservancy](https://sfconservancy.org/) who act as the Reproducible Builds project fiscal sponsor and are a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) charity focused on ethical technology and user freedom. If you like the work of the Conservancy or the Reproducible Builds project, please consider [becoming an official supporter](https://sfconservancy.org/supporter/).

 * [diffoscope](https://diffoscope.org/) is our in-depth "diff-on-steroids" utility which helps us diagnose reproducibility issues in packages. This week, Chris Lamb adjust the behaviour to not look for adjacent `-dbgsym` Debian package files automatically anymore to align better with users' expectations. The existing behaviour can be re-enabled by specifying the new `--use-dbgsym` flag ([#44](https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/diffoscope/issues/44) / [#920701](https://bugs.debian.org/920701)).
 
    Chris then [released and uploaded this as part of version `110`](https://tracker.debian.org/news/1028027/accepted-diffoscope-110-source-all-into-unstable/) but it was then reported that this introduced a regression where we had stopped using the `-dbgsym` packages when comparing `.buildinfo` or `.changes files`. This was subsequently fixed via [issue #46](https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/diffoscope/issues/46).
 
-* Bernhard M. Wiedemann a wrote [script to export CSV data](https://github.com/bmwiedemann/reproducibleopensuse/blob/master/rbplot.pl) of openSUSE reproducibility stats over time and [graphed it](https://rb.zq1.de/compare.factory/graph.png) using [Debian's graphing tool](https://salsa.debian.org/qa/jenkins.debian.net/blob/master/bin/make_graph.py).
