Hello Board,
TL;DR first: Does the board want to fund any additional delegates
travel & room expenses for the reunion if we have anyone chosen by the
lottery?
This year for the 10th anniversary of Summer of Code, Google is holding
a special Mentor's Summit (Reunion) which is a little different than in
the past. In addition to the normal 2 delegates we get to send where
Google funds up to $2200 (up to $1100 per person) in travel expenses
plus covering the room, they will hold a lottery for others to be able
to attend as well (however, it is at their own expense as well as the
room cost). The people eligible to attend the Reunion and enter the
lottery are any of our previous GSoC participants (admins, mentors, as
well as students).
I wanted to find out if the board would be in favor of funding the
travel and room for anyone from our organization should we have anyone
enter the lottery and be chosen. I have not brought this up to any of
our previous participants yet for obvious reasons, but need to do so
soon. One of the other things that is different this year is that we
need to decide far in advance who will be attending. We need to have
everything finalized by 6/20, so people responding to this soon would
be appreciated.
I'm in favor of funding potential lottery delegates.
I also would like to attend again, since it has been a while. However,
I'd rank the priority as "like" and defer to others if needed.
