+* [diffoscope](https://diffoscope.org/) is our in-depth "diff-on-steroids" utility which helps us diagnose reproducibility issues in packages. This week, Milena Boselli Rosa has been [working towards fixing various HTML markup warnings/errors](https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/diffoscope/merge_requests/23).

+**Don't forget that Reproducible Builds is part of May/August 2019 round of [Outreachy](https://www.outreachy.org/) which offers paid internships to work on free software.** Internships are open to applicants around the world and are paid a stipend for the three month internship with an additional travel stipend to attend conferences. So far, we received more than ten initial requests from candidates and the closing date for applicants is April 2nd. More information is available [on the application page](https://www.outreachy.org/may-2019-august-2019-outreachy-internships/communities/debian/).
