We will continue to participate with GSOC and this is not a replacement. Participation in Outreachy is another way to reach more contributors to LLVM. It also aligns with the LLVM Foundation’s program to increase diversity and inclusion within the LLVM project and the field of compilers and tools (<a href="https://community-dot-o.llvm.org/" style="color: var(--tertiary); text-decoration: none; cursor: pointer; word-wrap: break-word;" class="">https://community-dot-o.llvm.org </a>). Additionally, this is an opportunity for longer projects that no longer meet the criteria for GSOC to find an intern. GSOC recently modified their rules and decreased project length to 175 hours over 10 weeks, while Outreachy remains at 360-480 hours over a 12 week period.</p><p style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15.008000373840332px;" class="">I hope you will consider being a mentor!
