Description

On behalf of Sonja (@pitag-ha) and myself we wanted to discuss the possibility of creating an Outreachy email under the ocaml.org domain.

For some context, Sonja and I are hoping to encourage more people and organisations to participate in Outreachy within the OCaml community as mentors. Currently, if someone was interested in finding out more information there’s no single contact for them to use. At best, they could find our names in various discuss forum threads and reach out directly. We would like to streamline this and use an email like outreachy@ocaml.org to be the main contact for any questions or information. We could then advertise this on the newly created Outreachy page. This also has the benefit that it can survive past our participation in Outreachy and hopefully be passed on to others when that time comes. What do you think?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the ocaml.org Outreachy page and the repository's infrastructure documentation for how domain email accounts are managed. Confirm whether an outreachy@ocaml.org mailbox or alias can be provisioned, who should receive it, and how the contact should be advertised; the issue does not name implementation files or tests.
