update GSoC ideas list for 2022 application (deadline Feb 21)

[Michael Carbone]

hey all,

we'll be applying to GSoC this year (we previously participated in 2020
and 2017), and we'll want to update our list of GSoC ideas (and
prospective mentors for those ideas).

please check them out and feel free to add new ones:

https://www.qubes-os.org/gsoc/

and feel free to propose ideas on the list & discuss them here.

thanks,
Michael

Hi all,

Unfortunately, the Qubes OS Project was not selected for GSoC this year
(see forwarded email below). Thank you to everyone who helped with
updating our ideas list and who volunteered to participate. We look
forward to applying again next year.

Thank you for applying to be a Google Summer of Code 2022 mentor
organization. Sadly, we were unable to accept Qubes OS this year. We had
many more applications than available slots. We hope you will apply
again in the future!
