[Dune-devel] Applying to GSoC 2022? They made some changes

[Christoph Grüninger]

Dear Dune community,

two times we took part in the Google Summer of Code. It brought us some 
workforce, visibility, joy, and Python code.

Google announced to repeat the program for the 18th time. And they will 
have some adjustments:
- Not only students can apply, but everybody that is 18 years or older 
and who wants to contribute to an open source project.
- There are multiple sites of projects (~175h and ~350 h).
- Timing is more flexible

This might help us to widen the pool to people already knowing Dune, but 
who would not fit to GSoC in the past:
- PhD students, that are formally no student.
- People on parental leave.
- Researchers that ran out of contract like PhDs, Postdocs

What do you think? Would these changes motivate you to mentor a project?

If we find enough Dune people willing to mentor, I can serve as 
organization admin and co-mentor.

Bye
Christoph
