After a quick survey through the main teams involved in the Summer round
of OPW and Google Summer of Code, it is clear that most of them need a
rest. This is a good chance for new mentors and projects to join in!
I'm pinging other Wmikimedia Foundation teams e.g. Analytics, which
already have committed to bring a proposal and two mentors. What about
projects like Commons, Wikinews, Wikivoyage...? What about bots,
gadgets, templates...? What about mobile apps not supported by the WMF
mobile team...? What about mediawiki.org and wikitech.wikimedia.org...?
Are there any technical projects that tech events organizers could
benefit from...?

New projects and mentors are welcome too, of course!
When thinking about project proposals, a good rule of thumb is: tasks
that would take two weeks of full time work to an experienced contributor.
We found that these two weeks can be translated in approximately six
weeks of an intern. This time is easily wrapped with as much time or
more for onboarding to open source development and the Wikimedia tech
community, setting up your environment and tools, testing, bugfixing,
documentation and deployment.
If you are interested, we have documented more lessons learned at
