Dear leadership committee,
Your attention is required to vote on the following matters:
Background:
Every year, we participate in GSoC, sometimes Outreachy, with a few community members mentoring new contributors. This mentoring task takes time and efforts, and offering support for potential mentors may help them dedicate more time to it, and may help in the long run to have a more diverse pool of mentors. In addition, the project gets a "project stipend" from Google of 500$, so I'm suggesting to take from this amount with 20% still for the project general funds.
Ballot:
a. Offer people who mentor students the possibility to ask for a stipend of up to 400$ for the 2022 mentoring season b. Do not do it c. Other (please specify)
Thanks!
I vote a.
This should allow us to have people do Outreachy and GSoC who might not have well paying jobs, improve our pool of mentors.

Hello,
I think we need to be a little more specific on what the requirements are. I think that it should probably include having a student who completes over half the project? For example, a student that leaves day one. We should probably designate someone to make that determination (you, tav?) Also, should we base this on the length of the program if GSoC is going to have short and long projects? Will Inkscape get different amounts based on the size of the project?

To be clear, I vote C, we need a proposal that includes how this will work to fund it. Also, I think it needs to take into account the size of the project, but I'm unclear on how that works.

I guess I sent my vote to Mark only...
I would vote a. but I have a conflict of interest (I will probably ask for the stipend).

I vote C. My thinking is in line with Ted's in terms of concerns relating to specificity of requirements and such. It just feels like it's not fleshed out enough for me to be comfortable with A as phrased.
