## 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.
