Yes. As Sam neatly highlights in his clarification it is critical to draw accurate boundaries when pushing back against community concerns. Small reversible steps is a phrase we often use, I guess we should make it "Small and clearly defined reversible steps".

In most organizations that Outreachy deals with, the organization itself sponsors Outreachy's efforts. At the moment, the ASF is not such an organization, and may never be. Instead we are currently relying on generous sponsor(s), and from time to time may need to work directly with them. Any such work will need to be coordinated by out fundraising committee which is largely composed of volunteers. Fundraising already works closely with Marketing and Publicity, Conferences, and Virtual Inc. The Outreachy coordinators can decide amongst themselves to what extent it makes sense to work with fundraising and which of them (if any) will liaise with the fundraising committee. > Ross > > --- > > Sent from my phone, likely while waking down the stars and having a > conversation.
