Hi Folks, This conversation is derailing again. so I'd like to bringing it back to where Myrle started.
@Kevin, I agree with you that there is still refinement with some points of the proposal, however I don't think the details are critical to get ASF's confirmation of support, which is what our Sponsor and the committee need to get started with this project. You asked if there is urgency on getting this to the board in July, the answer is yes. Outreachy's next round of internships kicks off in September, and I'd like to have plenty of time to work on ironing out execution details. You asked if we're looking to request a match in funds. The answer is not for this round. Now, I agree that knowing how we'll advertise the opportunity to the projects is key, so I'd like to ask Myrle to list the following options in the proposal: 1. Email the project PMCs using Karma (I'm not sure this is how we do it, sorry) 2. Use the ASF Twitter handle to promote the program regularly (once per week) 3. Publish the project in the ASF News round which goes out on Fridays 4. Leverage partner's social media channels e.g. Google Open Source, Outreachy, OSCON, etc. 5. Promote program in D&I lists such this one[1] This been said, I vote +1 on sending the final version of the proposal Myrle prepared. On Fri, 5 Jul 2019 at 09:34, Kevin A.
