I feel I might have picked confusing words, while RoI I understand it as more of a finance term. What I meant is that "as plain Debian contributor" looking at the email archives from Dec 2019 to March 2020 I find no valuable information, there is nothing to measure. Lack of communication perhaps? With my DebConf sponsors hat, I am well aware of "Improving the DebConf fundraising processes" and I believe Anisa has done really good work and relief quite an amount of work the team does. > As a former Outreachy intern myself (2015) I can tell you that it the > stipend has helped me to invest time to find my way around Debian, time > during which otherwise I would have had to earn a living elsewhere and > would never have gotten involved further with Debian. It looks like you were a really successful part of the program, and since you are Debian contributor, maybe you should consider helping out the team and get more involved in Outreach coordination, I am very positive you would do really awesome work there. > There are many people in Debian who were GSoC students and are active > Debian contributors, DMs, DDs.

That's great, I'd love to see more successful outreach stories to help on coordinating the Debian Outreach side of things. Regards -- Héctor Orón -.. . -... .. .- -. -.. . ...- . .-.. --- .--. . .-.
