So we decided to participate and I just submitted one project: https://www.outreachy.org/outreachy-december-2022-internship-round/communities/git/#unify-ref-filter-formats-with-other-pretty-formats which is about continuing previous work by GSoC contributors and Outreachy interns. The deadline to submit projects is September 29, so next Thursday. I think Taylor agreed in private discussions with submitting another project related to improving our https://git-scm.com/ website (which was discussed previously on the mailing list). It could help a lot if we could be co-mentoring the project I submitted and the project about improving our website that Taylor might also submit. So if you would be interested, don't hesitate to contact us. > > September 9th is the initial community application deadline. > > > > If we're interested, the project submission deadline is September 23rd > > By then, we'd need: > > > > - Volunteers to act as mentors > > - Updates to our applicant materials on git.github.io (project ideas, > > as well as potential microprojects). > > > > If folks are interested, I'd be more than happy to answer any questions > > about participating, and overall logistics of the program. > Yeah, we need to update our microproject ideas on git.github.io. We still need to update microproject ideas on git.github.io for Outreachy applicants. > About > project ideas, we need some, but I think we need to add them into > Outreachy's website. If there are many possible co-mentors we can still submit more project ideas into Outreachy's website before the deadline next Thursday. > It would be nice also if we could discuss with > Outreachy organizers, and ask them how we could increase our chances > to get some good applicants. Such discussions happened privately, but we are not sure yet if we are going to do something about this. Unfortunately a discussion round between mentors and potential applicants happened on September 15 when a lot of us were at the Git Merge. Thanks!
