Hello all, Just a quick follow-up on this email. As of now, we have three projects almost finalized and ready to participate in Outreachy. There are still two more projects we can accommodate in this round; if there is an interest, drop a comment on the Phabricator task. You can also dive into the task to learn more about the projects already added to give you an idea :)
