Thank you to Christian for organizing. Also, thank you to our community members who've volunteered to mentor students this year: Karthik Nayak, Justin Tobler, Siddharth Asthana, Chandra Pratap and Ayush Chandekar Let us look forward towards a good summer of code experience for the new contributors who could potentially become long-term members of the community. It's good to see GSoC related contributions in the list already. Similarly, we'll be seeing more candidates participating by sending out their micro-projects. Let's give them a good guidance :-) That said, we have the ideas listed in our ideas page. Feel free to suggest more ideas if you have any. Volunteer mentors willing to mentor students are always welcome. Let us know if you're interested. -- Sivaraam Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
