[petsc-dev] Apply for Google Summer of Code 2023?

[Karl Rupp]

Hello all,

thanks for proposing projects. I've created the suggestions so far as 
'issues' in the issue tracker on Gitlab, prefixed by 'GSoC:'. Please add 
a better description to your suggestions so that applicants get a better 
idea of what that project is all about and how to get started. :-)

Also, Satish, Junchao, Jed, and Matt should have received invitations to 
join the PETSc org for GSoC 2023. Please join today, as we need to apply 
by tomorrow (Tuesday) 18:00 UTC.

I've got one question regarding payment processing; since that is a bit 
sensitive, I'll send it to the private list petsc-maint.

Thanks and best regards,
Karli
