As I am willing to participate as a coordinator and mentor, like previous years, I just signed us up. We can still decide not to participate if we don't find mentors, good interns or sponsorship for the interns. I have mentioned GitLab, GitHub and the Git project as organizations that might be willing to sponsor, but others are very welcome to help as Outreachy is navigating significant financial challenges these days. For more information, see: https://www.outreachy.org/blog/2025-08-14/december-2025-call-for-mentoring-organizations/ https://www.outreachy.org/blog/2024-08-14/outreachy-needs-your-help/ As usual, everyone is welcome to participate especially in (co)mentoring, providing microproject and project ideas and sending PRs to update relevant pages on https://git.github.io/. Thanks. ``` ## Usman Akinyemi, 2025-09-13 15:35 Subject: Re: Participating in the Outreachy December 2025 cohort Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAPSxiM8prcfrnm8ktMG%2BDqguuNXvZukg%3DRQVV3oWdU88RNsiZA%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` > we don't find mentors, good interns or sponsorship for the interns. > Hi Christian, Thanks for the information. > I have mentioned GitLab, GitHub and the Git project as organizations > that might be willing to sponsor, but others are very welcome to help > as Outreachy is navigating significant financial challenges these > days. > > For more information, see: > > https://www.outreachy.org/blog/2025-08-14/december-2025-call-for-mentoring-organizations/ > https://www.outreachy.org/blog/2024-08-14/outreachy-needs-your-help/ > > As usual, everyone is welcome to participate especially in > (co)mentoring, providing microproject and project ideas and sending > PRs to update relevant pages on https://git.github.io/.

Yes please, I am moving to a new house these days so I took some days off, but I am still very busy with a lot of things. Anyway I think you can make a request to be a coordinator for Git on the Outreachy website, and I am going to approve it. The main issue is that we have until September 26 at 4pm UTC (so tomorrow) to submit Outreachy projects. I am going to submit one related to removing global state similar to Ayush's GSoC 2025 project, but maybe we need a few more in case we find more mentors and co-mentors later? Thanks again! ``` ## Christian Couder, 2025-09-25 06:38 Subject: Re: Participating in the Outreachy December 2025 cohort Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAP8UFD0ygkJ7v5Q2BwxuqsuAi0-%2BHtx8Wqa9JXALcVFh2q2_Nw%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` Hi Usman, On Sat, Sep 13, 2025 at 5:36 PM Usman Akinyemi wrote: > > As usual, everyone is welcome to participate especially in > > (co)mentoring, providing microproject and project ideas and sending > > PRs to update relevant pages on https://git.github.io/. > I am writing here to indicate my interest in Co-mentoring. Thanks, this is very much appreciated! So far it looks like we would co-mentor together a project about removing global state similar to Ayush's GSoC 2025 project. I hope it works for you. ``` ## Usman Akinyemi, 2025-09-25 17:33 Subject: Re: Participating in the Outreachy December 2025 cohort Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAPSxiM_SHQ6HnLkKgP3B5MufRs18uOrz-0yhWR27X5aF89ZSGg%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` >> Hi Usman, Hi Christian, > So far it looks like we would co-mentor together a project about > removing global state similar to Ayush's GSoC 2025 project.
