Participating in Outreachy's December 2026 cohort

Hi everyone,

Open Source communities have until September 11, 2026, at 4 pm UTC to sign up to participate as mentoring organizations in Outreachy's December 2026 cohort (see https://www.outreachy.org/blog/2026-02-06/may-2026-call-for-mentoring-organizations/). And (co)mentors have until that same time to submit project descriptions.

Last year the Git community mentored a single intern. For a long time GitHub or GitLab used to sponsor Outreachy interns working on Git, but last year both declined to do it, so the intern was sponsored by the Git project itself.

Let us know if you want to help as a (co)mentor or an Org Admin, if you know a company that would sponsor an intern, if you have ideas for projects that we could propose, or if you have an opinion on Git participating again this year, or on how we should select interns, etc.

I am likely to mentor and help as an Org Admin again this year unless we decide not to participate.

Thanks.
