Given as we have one project without a mentor, and the deadline is
within three days of application, this seems like we should regroup
about this next year.
I have a different idea to help get Gluster more involved with student
outreach.

We're looking at doing Outreachy this next cycle, and the deadline for
application for organizations is March 22nd.
https://www.gnome.org/outreachy/

Would any of these projects be good candidates for Outreachy?
