The deadline for communities (such as the Hurd) to submit plans for internship projects has already passed. Outreachy is now in the early stages of the winter round of internships; this means that prospective interns are now contacting the communities they would like to work with and make first contributions. At this point it is no longer possible for communities to submit plans for internship projects (it’s more involved than in GSoC, requires a real plan with milestones, and requires guaranteed funding for at least one internship). You would have to wait until the next round of internships. Even then I do not know if the Hurd community has enough people willing to dedicate a significant amount of time to write a project proposal and mentor the project. Unlike GSoC where the project proposal can be a single sentence and no dedicated mentors are assigned, Outreachy requires more work on the side of the community. I don’t know if the Hurd participates as a community in Outreachy. This requires prior application and approval by Outreachy. Yes, the FSF is a sponsor, and projects under the GNU umbrella have participated in the past, but this doesn’t mean that any community under GNU can simply participate. -- Ricardo
