Hello everyone,
very last call for XMPP projects to submit their ideas and participation interest: https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Google_Summer_of_Code_2023#Project_Ideas_(TO_BE_U…
(Reminder from experience: When everything becomes official you need to register to Google's platform (however, you don't need a Google Email). If that's a no-go to you, please don't progress.)
