Christian and I both got emails from the Outreachy organizers asking if
we are interested in participating again this year. Last year we
submitted projects, but ultimately did not select anybody from the
program.

Yeah, let's hope we get more people applying this year.

I think it would be good to participate in this year's December cohort.

Yeah, thanks for your email about this.

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!
