Hi everyone,

The application period for mentoring organizations to participate in
GSoC 2026 is from January 19 to February 3. Let's try to anticipate a
bit and decide soon if the Git project wants to participate.

If we want to participate, we need (co-)mentors, org-admins, projects
and micro-projects ideas, and we need to update existing pages or
create new ones on the Git Developer Pages (git.github.io) website (or
on git-scm.org if we want to switch this to it now). Please chime in
if you are interested.

About (co-)mentors and org-admins, Karthik, Justin, Siddharth and me
have already expressed their interest in (co-)mentoring in internal
GitLab discussions. I am willing to be an org-admin too.

The Git team at GitLab is also willing to manage Slack discussions
channels for (co-)mentors, org-admins and helpers, and then for
accepted contributors too, in the same way as for GSoC 2025.

Thanks,
Christian.
