These sound like great ideas. I would add that Outreachy is not just about technical contributions but also about enabling the intern to become part of the group, possibly serving as a model for contributors-to-be. So I encourage you to interact with the wider group in addition to your mentor, I think it can be beneficial to all of us. Thanks for joining! Ludo=E2=80=99.
