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’.
