The application period for mentoring organizations to participate in
GSoC 2026 is from January 19 to February 3. Let's try to anticipate a
bit and decide soon if the Git project wants to participate.

Indeed.

If we want to participate, we need (co-)mentors, org-admins, projects
and micro-projects ideas, and we need to update existing pages or
create new ones on the Git Developer Pages (git.github.io) website (or
on git-scm.org if we want to switch this to it now). Please chime in
if you are interested.

I would be glad to help as an org-Admin this year too. I could act as a fallback mentor in case any mentor / co-mentor becomes unavailable during a particular period of the program.

I also Cc-ed Chandra Pratap as they expressed interest to be a co-mentor before.

I'd be glad to help as a co-mentor. I think I'd be able to best help
with project ideas related to reftable or testing, seeing how I worked
on reftable tests in my GSoC project, but please let me know if I can
help with anything else as well!
