+ ## How to introduce yourself to the community
314
+
315
+ It's likely that you will introduce yourself to the community around
316
+ the same time you are going to start working on a micro-project.
317
+
318
+ We don't require you to send us a special introductory email or to
319
+ tell us about your skills, interests, experience, background,
320
+ etc. Feel free to tell us what you want about yourself if you wish
321
+ though.
322
+
323
+ But please, make it clear that you are interested in a specific
324
+ mentoring program and use the right tag, like [ GSoC] , [ Outreachy] , etc
325
+ at the beginning of the subject of your emails.
326
+
327
+ As we usually don't know your interests, skills, experience,
328
+ background, etc, it's hard for us to select a micro-project for
329
+ you, and it's part of your job as an applicant to research a good
330
+ micro-project for you. It will show us that you will be able to
331
+ select a good project for you and properly research it.
332
+
333
+ You can ask for help if there are things you don't understand in a
334
+ micro-project description, or if you have some trouble working on your
335
+ micro-project or even finding a micro-project. But please be very
336
+ specific in your questions and tell us in details what you searched or
337
+ tried, what you expected and what didn't work as you
338
+ expected. Something like "I couldn't find a good micro-project for
339
+ me", for example, doesn't tell us much, and doesn't give us any idea
340
+ about how we could help you.
