You are welcomed to join the mailing list and IRC to discuss your idea

in the public.

Besides, when I read your pull requests, it is more related to MPI than

Prefix.  I am wondering your reason not applying to the project "Support

for multiple MPI implementations"



  https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2019/Ideas#Support_for_multiple_MPI_implementations



That said, either way you are welcomed to join this year's Gentoo GSOC.

Please focus on composing your proposal as the deadline is drawing

close.



Yours,

Benda
