Hi Ana, I think that is a great idea, thanks for bringing this to attention of the group!
I did take a quick look at the site, and for those who don’t know (myself included) what it means for us (as Pytest organization), here’s an excerpt from their overview <https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/how-it-works/>: *Organizations* Open source projects apply to be mentor organizations. Once accepted, organizations discuss possible ideas with students and then decide on the proposals they wish to mentor for the summer. They provide mentors to help guide each student through the program. *Mentors* Existing contributors with the organizations can choose to mentor a student project. Mentors and students work together to determine appropriate milestones and requirements for the summer. Mentor interaction is a vital part of the program. So before moving ahead I think we just need to see if: 1. Who wants to volunteer to be a mentor? I suppose it doesn’t take too much time, only a few hours per week to synchronize activities, track progress and answer the eventual question from the student. Dave Hunt might add some comments here based on his experience on mentoring Ana for Mozilla. 2. I think we have a ton of small improvements that could be tackled by a learning student, but I suppose we can also try to work on a single larger improvement. Either way, I think that’s for the mentor/student to ultimately decide. 3. Anybody has any reason to oppose for applying at all? I think it is a great opportunity to promote pytest and help students around the globe. Although I would love to, I can’t volunteer as I already have little free time to work on pytest as it is. :/ Thoughts? Cheers, Bruno.

We should apply as Pytest! https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ I think I can help with the application (Writing it), but I can not be an organization admin because I am eligible to apply as a student and I think I'll do that (either applying to Mozilla or Pytest).
