Hey folks, Given we didn't participate in GSoC with year, are we interested in having Qubes participate in the Outreachy December-March internship round?
I can get started on the application, we can reuse the 2018 GSoC project ideas. The main difficulty is that unlike GSoC, Outreachy internships are not funded by Outreachy, so we need to secure $6,500 for an intern before we are accepted in the program. I think we can appeal to the Qubes community and/or use OpenCollective funding for this.
