Hi Pierre,

This thread is a follow-up on an email that has been sent to the infrastructure list where someone volunteered to mentor a student and me just wanting to know what this person is volunteering to mentor.

Nope, that's different thread.
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/infrastructure@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/ZWIOTGRX2XMQMBMWOZ2E7OL5FEV2F2QB/

What would this announcement be about?

About "Info here, go here, write down stuff here." - relevant info for mentors and ideas. I don't think that someone can forcefully come up with an idea, if they want to participate a simple reminder "go write down your idea" is enough, they already carry that idea.

And my whole 
point (extremely misunderstood and met with a lot of hate) was that there is no point in sending this all to... Kernels? Join sig? Etc. If anything devel would be a better place.


Best regards,
Radka

But this thread is not a follow-up of that particular question which you indeed
answered quickly and properly.

This thread is a follow-up on an email that has been sent to the infrastructure
list where someone volunteered to mentor a student and me just wanting to know
what this person is volunteering to mentor. I mean this is GSoC and I guess
we're still in the planning phase trying to gather subjects, right?
So if that person wishes to be a mentor, I guess they have a specific subject in
mind, no?
Well that was the source of my inquiry.

Well that is infra :)

And these last two are two people from infra.
Also, you may want to check your archive as this thread has only been occurring
on the infrastructure list, nowhere else (even if it was originally started
across multiple lists, I agree).
