Would that fit ?
This is great, thanks! The way Outreachy works is that applicants need to submit an essay and get accepted first. Then they can choose projects they'd like to work on and make small contributions, so that mentors can see if the applicant is a good fit for the project. The intern applications deadline was February 13. I imagine the student you met has not applied / been accepted yet? In that case, they should apply for the next round: https://www.outreachy.org/docs/applicant/ In any case, if you wish you can propose your project here. Accepted Outreachy participants will then be able to work on it: https://wiki.debian.org/Outreachy/May2026/Projects Please note that proposed projects need to have at least one mentor who is a Debian Developer. Thanks! Emanuele
