Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia has been accepted as a mentor organization in GSoC 2019!

Hello everyone, Wikimedia has been accepted as a mentor organization in the Google Summer of Code 2019 with 207 open source projects <https://opensource.googleblog.com/2019/02/gsoc-2019-organizations.html> :) And, application period for Outreachy Round 18 started last week. We have listed a few ideas for projects for both programs on MediaWiki and we are looking for more. Unlike Google Summer of Code, Outreachy is open to non-students and non-coders and projects could be around documentation, design, translation research, outreach, etc. View current list of ideas: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2019 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Round_18 Both these programs have a similar timeline for the summer round. Accepted candidates will work with mentors from May to August 2019. If you are interested in mentoring a project, create a task on Phabricator and tag it with #outreach-programs-projects and #Google-Summer-of-Code (2019) or #Outreachy (Round 18). You can also choose to mentor for projects already on outreach-programs-projects <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/outreach-programs-projects/> workboard. Remember, every project must have two mentors.
