The Outreachy application period is set to begin on September 10th for interns participating in the December-March program. Do we want to participate? Details on the program are here: https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/ If we want to, then we need: 1. Volunteers to mentor. This is similar in scope to being a GSoC mentor. 2. To get our landing page and list of projects in order (and also micro-projects for applicants). This can probably build on the previous round at: https://git.github.io/Outreachy-15/ and on the project/microprojects lists for GSoC (which will need some updating and culling). 3. To figure out funding (unlike GSoC, the intern stipend comes from the projects). I can look into getting outside funds (which is what we did last year). Worst case, we do have enough project money to cover an intern. Last year[1] opinions were that this was a reasonable use of project money, but of course new opinions are welcome. If the answer is "yes, we should participate", it will hopefully be accompanied with "yes, I will mentor", and "yes, and I will start getting the landing page ready." :) -Peff [1] https://public-inbox.org/git/20170901223059.xsbcpqff45mnblnj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
