[Dune-devel] Google summer of code 2025 announced

[Oliver Sander]

Hi,

several project ideas come to my mind right away, for example the dune-uggrid classics:

* distributed grid setup
* grid hierarchy load/store
* allow dim != dimworld

I hesitate to volunteer as a mentor, though, because my time is always limited.

In any case, thanks for your effort!

Best,
Oliver
