Outreachy received a lot of initial applications, and will need more time
to review them. The project submission deadline for mentors was moved to
4pm UTC on October 3. This means you have all week to submit a project if
you would like to mentor one. The contribution period will be October 5 to
October 31.

Thanks,

It sounds like a good idea to automatically subscribe users to this
tag on discourse.gnome.org. I had a quick search on meta.discourse.org
to see if that's possible, and found no mentions at all. So I guess it
isn't straightforward.
