9 months ago Hello :wave: Has there been some discussion in private about @patricoferris' question about setting up an outreachy@ocaml.org mail?
I'd like to add general information about Outreachy, including how to get engaged, on ocaml.org's Outreachy page (side-note: the project list on that page is currently out-of-date). Adding a mail would be very helpful.
The outreachy@ocaml.org mail could work the same way as the coc-help@ocaml.org mail: A re-direct to a few personal mails.
On behalf of Sonja (@pitag-ha) and myself we wanted to discuss the possibility of creating an Outreachy email under the ocaml.org domain.
For some context, Sonja and I are hoping to encourage more people and organisations to participate in Outreachy within the OCaml community as mentors. Currently, if someone was interested in finding out more information there’s no single contact for them to use. At best, they could find our names in various discuss forum threads and reach out directly. We would like to streamline this and use an email like outreachy@ocaml.org to be the main contact for any questions or information. We could then advertise this on the newly created Outreachy page. This also has the benefit that it can survive past our participation in Outreachy and hopefully be passed on to others when that time comes. What do you think?
