          + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Hackfest/Paris2019 
          + hope to have a Hackfest NG setup again – mentees, please speak up!
          + people are adding themselves to the wiki already.
        + tentative Dresden: late autumn (past mid-October, for having students)
   + hope to have one each quarter.

* GSOC 2019 (Thorsten/Xisco/Moggi/Heiko)
   + we have around ~10 proposals without mentors
      + mentors to check through the list here (All)
        + https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/
          + dashboard > click on the number of final proposals (29) to get 
            the full list
   + last-chance for students to get easy-hacks in (Heiko)
      + before April 19th.
   + 29 final projects of that 15 were put into ignored state
   + 5/14 have one mentor assigned (0/14 with two mentors)
   + Timeline:
     + April 22, 2019: Organization Slot Request
     + May 1, 2019: Organization Project Selection
     + May 6, 2019: Student Projects Announced
   + previously said we want 2x good mentors per project.
     + so far we need a 2nd mentor for at least 5 projects.
   + tried to round up co-mentors.
   + can we wait until 19th / deadline (Michael M)
     + and cut out those who didn’t do an easy hack.
     + need to find a number of projects before Monday (Heiko)
   + need to ensure all 8 projects have mentors before Monday.
     + and now we are missing only one ...
 => suggest ask maximum of 8 projects, minimum of 5

* C++ lectures (Xisco)
    + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Events/C%2B%2BLectures
    + NEXT SESSION: April, 25
    + need to discuss the direction as to whether we continue.
