Thanks for your interest in willing to mentor! I created a fairly rough SoC ideas page for now including a barebones information about the unit test migration idea: https://git.github.io/SoC-2024-Ideas/ Note well that the existing idea's description is far from complete and I mostly just cooked it up to serve as a template for how the idea entry could look like. Kindly contribute towards elaborating the same :-) Also, feel free to suggest ideas you have around refs and reftable backed, Patrick. Those would be helpful. >I noticed that the starting period falls right into my honeymoon from >June 17th until July 19th.

It should be totally fine given that we get a backup mentor who is also willing to mentor the candidate. (side note: I myself have no knowledge about refs backends. So, I suppose I might not be able to help co-mentor this one). Reg. the timline [1] Jun 17th won't be much of the start. The community bonding period starts May 1. Many contributors typically start dipping their toes into their project right away. So, you would have ample time before the start of the vacation to set the contributor up and going with the project. [1]: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline -- Sivaraam
