What you wrote there looks pretty good to me.

The other proposal is from Christian, who wrote: > Please introduce yourself on the public project chat: > > a mailing list - Once you join the project's communication > channel, the mentors have some additional instructions for you to > follow: > > Start the subject of your emails to the mailing list with "[Outreachy]" so that mentors and people interested in Outreachy can easily notice your emails. > Follow this link to join this project's public chat. > > Send an email to majordomo@vger.kernel.org with "subscribe git" in > the body of the email. I think the "[Outreachy]" advice is good, and worth adding to yours. I think linking to the "community" page is a good idea for Christian's, as it has more tips on using the mailing list. I'd leave it up to individual mentors whether they want to mention IRC (based on whether or not they actually use IRC themselves). -Peff
