We will do that. Start time should be Sat July 13th around 9am CT. There's
be an issue posted on GitHub with a summary of suggestions of what
newcomers can work on. GitHub and mailing lists are the most reliable way
to get feedback on comments/questions, but I'll try to log in on IRC as
well.

Cheers,
Ralf
