Mentoring, student programs coming up

Hi folks, I have no announcements, but was thinking about our Season of KDE and how we can enlarge and improve it. I believe we've been thinking of it too much like GSoC, when it can be so much more. For instance, I've seen a few announcements from maintainers wanting to step back from a large pie
