Re: [IAEP] GCI discontinued - backup plan

[Jui Pradhan]

Hello,
Great to know that the plan is still on. Yes, global outreach would be a
major issue. Besides, if we solve that issue do you have anything specific
in mind about what we give back to the students? Payments can be an issue
if the students( I assume will be under 18) belong to different countries
with different regulations on receiving money.

I would also like to inform the community about a recent email on the gsoc
mailing-list: It reads:
"For 2021 we are excited to offer smaller sized projects and thus a lower
time commitment for those interested in participating in the program. In
2021 all student projects will be 175 hour projects (instead of the
previous 350 hr projects) and the coding period will be 10 weeks. There are
many folks who have been unable to commit to a 350 hr project but are
interested in learning more about open source and being a part of these
amazing open source communities so we hope this will allow those folks to
apply for the program. We are trying to add more flexibility into the
program for folks."

I went ahead and checked their official website
<https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/faq>. The money the
organization will receive has dropped to 400 USD per student and the number
of hours has nearly halved. I have seen maximum activity(contributions)
during the months these programs happened. Do you think these recent
changes to the open-source student programs can significantly affect the
organization?

Re: [IAEP] GCI discontinued - backup plan

[Walter Bender]

I have not had the bandwidth to really wrap my head around how to do
this yet. Coming up with projects is not a problem. Global outreach
w/o Google will be a challenge. @tincho maybe we can grab a few
minutes to discuss this?

I remember reading a mail about the discussion on "how we might continue

Has anything been finalized yet? Also, I would be happy to help. Do let
