Good news - SFC has generated the paypal button and we're ready to go. Next step is to write up a short web page with the donation button on it, explaining how it'll be used:

https://gitlab.com/inkscape/vectors/content/issues/52

Máirín, can you assign yourself issue, and work on drafting the content? There are also several people on the Vectors team that help with drafting content, and have expressed interest in assisting getting Outreachy set up, so they may be able to help with legwork if you give them direction.

Thanks, and good luck! Bryce

Hi folks,

I've been terribly neglectful in making this happen, and for that I really apologize.

The next Outreachy round is opening up Feb 18. I think our status right now is that the Inkscape Board voted on:

"Inkscape will begin earmarking of donations for the Outreachy internship program, with the goal of participating in one or more Outreachy slots."

back in Sept as required by the sfconservancy to start fundraising for the slot. What still needs to be done I think is per ticket #1593 having bkuhn set up a donate button for funds earmarked for Outreachy.

What I propose to do, since we have missed another round thanks to me, is to go ahead and have the Outreachy-specific donate button set up, and to start fundraising with an eye towards the summer round of outreachy. Does that sound ok?

And a million apologies again for lagging on this,
