I wasn't aware :) But agreed, previous experience sounds close enough to
me.

That is a good question. The only thing I could find on this was the
following statement:

I'm not a 100% sure whether this means that you can apply to multiple
projects or whether it means that you can apply to Outreachy multiple
years until your proposal gets accepted.

I've asked internally whteher this is okay and will get back to you once
I've got an answer.
