I just used the Contact Outreachy form[1] to send the following request: - - - The Apache Software Foundation is considering becoming a sponsor and/or volunteering a number of mentors. During the discussion, the following question was raised: "How does this, fundamentally, differ from the ASF simply hiring interns from under-represented populations and having them work on Whimsy (or whatever)? This is basically what we are doing, just using Outreachy as a sort of main contractor to do so." This is on the public [email protected] mailing list: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/b5af718fcb8d75a98fbd9ff378f0236050cd80ffb4d4f314d87106b3@%3Cdev.diversity.apache.org%3E Would it be possible for an Outreachy Organizer to join this list and answer a few questions people might have? - Sam Ruby - - - - Sam Ruby [1] https://www.outreachy.org/contact/organizers/
