Funding is still up in the air, but in the meantime I've tentatively signed us up (we have until the 24th to have the funding committed). Next we need mentors to submit projects, as well as first-time contribution micro-projects. Project proposals can be made here: https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/git/ If you want to know more about the program, there's a mentor FAQ here: https://www.outreachy.org/mentor/mentor-faq/ or just ask in this thread. The project page has a section to point people in the right direction for first-time contributions. I've left it blank for now, but I think it makes sense to point one (or both) of: - https://git-scm.com/docs/MyFirstContribution - https://matheustavares.gitlab.io/posts/first-steps-contributing-to-git as well as a list of micro-projects (or at least instructions on how to find #leftoverbits, though we'd definitely have to step up our labeling, as I do not recall having seen one for a while). -Peff
