Hi,

Thanks Gábor for mastering the organisation. :-)

For now, there is this wiki page:

    https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/GSoC-2023

Now, we have to make sure that mentors are available (and just will).

Maybe, it would be easy to make guix-devel@gnu.org as clear contact, or
a private alias (Gábor, Pjotr and other interested for helping in the
organization) and then privately redirect candidate to mentors; because
otherwise it appears to me difficult to be “clearly contacted”. :-)

Thanks for pushing forward.  I hope we will be able to make a temporary
fix using Guix Europe [1]. :-)
