Re: Mentor for and promote Outreachy!

Hi Carlos,

In the previous rounds, GNOME Foundation preferred that the sponsorship is provided by some other 
organization, when possible, while also making the sponsorship available when necessary. This round, I was 
able to line up $6,500 in sponsorship towards one intern from Red Hat, which is sufficient for GNOME to 
participate in Outreachy. I am checking with other potential sponsors about whether they want to sponsor 
additional interns.

Thanks,
Marina

Hello Marina,

That sounds good!

Just a question, what is the sponsorship of Red Hat and how that
influences whether GNOME can participate in Outreachy? Couldn't we
sponsor the students from the GNOME foundation money?
