Hi everyone, I would like to follow-up on this topic, given the recent student seeking GSoC information in the mentors list <ment...@community.apache.org>.
I would like to hear your opinions on creating a mixed student and mentors list <g...@community.apache.org> for ASF-wide mentors to advertise projects to potentially interested students, as well as taking general questions about ASF participation in GSoC. If there's interest I can volunteer to set up the list with ASF Infra, and work with Maxim to set it as a point of contact in ASF's GSoC page (< https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2021/organizations/5149287498907648 >).
