Hi all, I'm pleased to announce that the project proposal we submitted for a mentorship program with Boston University [1] was selected by a team of 5 students! The project aims at raising the bar for the Kata CI by improving on the recent CI dashboard prototype [1], and enabling more CI automation by implementing commands in GitHub PR reviews. Please join me in welcoming the team to the Kata and CoCo projects! * Anna Finn, @afinn12 <afinn12@bu.edu> * James Knee, @JamesKnee <jamesaknee@gmail.com> * Chris Krenz, @chris-krenz <ckrenz@bu.edu> * Alicja Mahr, @a1icja <alicja@bu.edu> * Xiteng Yao, @xtyao66 <xtyao@bu.edu> The team has already come up with a project description for their class [2] and will be completing this over this fall semester, with a final class presentation on December 9th. During the course of the project, they'll be working on a 2-week sprint cadence, with a class demo at the end of each sprint. On my side, @Archana Choudhary<mailto:archana1@microsoft.com> and @Saul Paredes<mailto:saulparedes@microsoft.com> will help support them with any questions they might have, and we will also ensure that they are will integrated within the community and get the support they need there.
