Add content about GSoC (google summer of code) about ocamlverse.github.io HOT 8 OPEN

Who would they work for, though? Is there a central OCaml project that can act as to GSoC sponsor?

Yeah you really don't need much. Just having them work for the OCaml organization is good enough. I've done this in the past with a different open source organization. The only things you need are:

1. Good project suggestions
2. A decent looking application (it really doesn't need to be fancy)
3. People willing to mentor for the summer. I've mentored before, and while it takes up time, it's not that demanding.
4. A procedure in-place to check that the intern is making good progress.

The intern gets paid for the summer by Google, and hopefully contributes something worthwhile to the community.

I'm still quite fuzzy on what the OCaml organization actually is. 😃

The OCaml github organization: https://github.com/ocaml

A github organization isn't the same as a formal group of people.

I don't think there's any more than that. There's no legal entity here AFAIK, since which country's laws would it be under?

Oh also, to check that a participant is serious, organizations usually require something first. The participant needs to propose something good, but they also need to contribute to the organization in some minor way e.g. fixing a bug or something.

Out of curiosity, is there any progress on this one?
