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...?

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.
