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

[Christian Engwer]

Hi Christoph,

dorry, the initial mail slipped my notice. I'm in favour of GSOC and
would also help mentoring projects. I think the setup as in our last
participation was quite good... having different topics proposed and
different potential mentors, depending on these topic.

Ciao
Christian
