Git in GSoC 2024

Hi everyone,

GSoC Org Applications for 2024 are open now [1] and are due before Tuesday, February 6 at 1800 UTC. It's good to see that contributors have already started working on microprojects this year :-)

I could help as an Org Admin like previous years. I could volunteer as a mentor depending on the set of available projects that we're able to gather for this year.

There are one noticeable change to the program that should be highlighted:

"For 2024 we have the concept of Small ~90 hour projects that are a
  standard 8 weeks long (they can extended but it is suggest not
  extending beyond 12 weeks for the small projects). We aren't
  required to have small projects available but might be worth
  considering if we have any small projects that contributors could
  work on."

The GSoC contributor application deadline is April 2 - 18:00 UTC, so (co-)mentors and org admins are already welcome to volunteer. As usual, we also need project ideas to refresh our idea page from last year (https://git.github.io/SoC-2023-Ideas/). Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss.

Do feel free to ask if there's anything that needs to be clarified.

Just like previous year, there will be a GSoC Meetup in Brussels during FOSDEM weekend on Saturday, February 3rd in the evening. If you are around, interested and haven't received the link to register directly from Google, let me know so I can send it to you.

There's also seems to be a GSoC stand at FOSDEM on Saturday or Sunday. It's said to be located in building H, level 1.
