Hi Walter! Thanks for doing this. I would personally love to present my candidacy to any opportunity that supports the work and involvement of women in libre-software initiatives.
So, definitively +1 for internships/mentorships for women! I have read the links you sent, but I have failed to understand if with Outreachy Sugar Labs gets more than 1 intern sponsored? As for the funds request, since there are General Funds being required, I understand we will need to vote on a formal Motion.
