Yeah, let's hope we get more people applying this year.

I am interested in mentoring and org admin.

Yeah, we need to update our microproject ideas on git.github.io. About project ideas, we need some, but I think we need to add them into Outreachy's website. It would be nice also if we could discuss with Outreachy organizers, and ask them how we could increase our chances to get some good applicants.

Thanks, Christian.
