[ANNOUNCE] Outreachy mentor sign-up deadline is Wednesday September 11th at 4pm UTC

[ANNOUNCE] Outreachy mentor sign-up deadline is Wednesday September 11th at 4pm UTC

[Christian Couder]

Hi everyone,

I signed up for Git as a mentoring community in the Outreachy December
2024 internship cohort. The deadline was September 6th at 4pm UTC and
I think we will be able to change our mind later if we decide to not
participate for some reason. So it was better to just sign-up.

I have also added a project with the title: "Finish adding a
'os-version' capability to Git protocol v2" that I am willing to
mentor or co-mentor. I think it's possible to add more projects and to
remove this one if we find better ones.

The mentor sign-up deadline is very soon too: Wednesday September 11th
at 4pm UTC

So if you are interested in mentoring please sign-up. I think
co-mentors might be able to sign-up later but I am not sure.

Tilda, please correct me if I am wrong.

Also please let us know if some companies might be willing to sponsor
an Outreachy intern or Outreachy itself. Outreachy is part of the
Software Freedom Conservancy (https://sfconservancy.org/) like the Git
project.

See: https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/git/

Thanks,
Christian.

Thanks for organizing this! With the clar unit testing framework having
landed I think it would be a nice project for Outreachy to convert (a
subset of) our unit tests to that new framework.

There is still a bunch of work that I'm in the process of upstreaming
[1][2][3][4] as well as a refactoring of the macros to make them
typesafe that I'm currently preparing. But none of these changes should
impact how the clar is used, so I would say that it is fine to queue up
such a project.

I forgot to say: I'd be happy to mentor or co-mentor such a project.

Great. I think it's worth adding this as a possible Outreachy project.
We can always decide later to not propose it after all.

If you prefer to mentor or in case of doubt about mentoring or
co-mentoring, I would suggest signing up before tomorrow 4pm UTC if
you haven't already done so.

Thanks.

I'd be happy to co-mentor a project like that

Best Wishes
