Monzo as a Google Summer of Code Mentoring Organisation

[charlie2clarke]

Hey there,

I hope that this is a suitable way of getting in contact with the Monzo engineering team - I apologise if not.

The 2023 Google Summer of Code program has recently been announced and is something I am hoping to use as a foot into the world of opensource software once I've finished my degree. When I was thinking about which organisation I'd like to contribute to, Monzo was the first that sprung to mind. I've read a number of Monzo's tech blogs and watched presentations given at the UK Gopher Conference which I've found interesting to see how modern technology solutions are applied in FinTech. Additionally, Monzo is a service I use daily and would love to get the chance to help improve it.

I was therefore wondering if the Monzo team could consider applying to be a mentoring organisation to this program?

I've read the eligibility for mentoring organisations and I believe Monzo meets all of the criteria. Here is timeline of the program: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline

Many thanks,
Charlie Clarke

Also, when I was trying to find a means of contacting the engineering team, I noticed a bug on Monzo's website.
