Allocate budget to the Outreachy program for Winter 2021
Dear PLC,
As discussed, we have finished the outreachy project for this summer and are now only one week (10th September) from needing to commit for Winter 2021.
We have lined up co-mentors Kavya and Adam Belis who are going to be handling lining up projects. So this cycle is likely to focus on design, docs or a less technical project.
Please vote as soon as possible so we can submit by the deadline.
[a] Allocate 6500$ of our budget to apply to the Outreachy program for Winter 2021 [b] Do not allocate those funds
| Board Member | 1. | | -------------------- |:--:| | Josh Andler | | | Tavmjong Bah | | | Ted Gould | | | Martin Owens | | | Marc Jeanmougin | | | Chris Rogers | |
Best Regards, Martin Owens
I vote A.

Awesome. Thank you Kavya and Adam for stepping up as mentors. Do we need an "org rep" or anything like that as well?

I'll vote A because I think it's a worthwhile investment for the project and a great program (and I trust involved people to come up with a good project), but next time for these kinds of votes, I'd really like to be able to vote with at least one or two projects already drafted/presented...
Thanks Marc,
I vote A.
and concede the point that projects would be nice to have. Although we voted a year before the last set of projects were drafted 😉 would still be good though.
Conclusion:
The Inkscape project gives $6500 to the outreachy project to fund one intern for the winter session.

I'll send off the forms and send an email to sage and make a ticket with accounts at SFC.
Thanks all.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

I agree, especially given the monetary commitment from the project's coffers. Part of us helping to manage the project's funds is to do so being relatively informed on what we're actually expecting in terms of deliverables.
Cheers, Josh

I think for student programs like Outreachy we can't really think of it in terms of deliverables, the goal is the outreach and opportunity for a student. I think it would be nice to know we have projects so we don't end up with a student that has nothing to do, but the project itself probably shouldn't be "expected" to happen. We've had many years of GSoC for instance where they definitely haven't. Ted
