Completely forgot to mention one item on here, I'll add it to the minutes on
the wiki in just a moment:

ITEM: GSoC/EVoC

is March 31st. Google is tweaking some of the timeline due to the COVID
pandemic, mentors get an extra week for review. Also, we're looking into
Google's other program "Season of Docs"
ACTIONS: Mentors to review proposals
