The pays for part should not be an issue. I have a credible offer by a sponsor to pay for 3 interns in December. I've shared details of this offer privately with the committee[1]. These funds will flow directly from the sponsor to Outreachy. I'm hopeful that other sponsors will join. - Sam Ruby [1] https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/355b4e7c6395fb8825bb1c317876e4c10113df6eb08da1cd92030cd6@%3Cprivate.diversity.apache.org%3E
