Re: Google Summer of Code 2019

[Tim Graham]

As of now, I haven't seen any existing Django contributors who are planning 
to propose a project, therefore I don't think it's worthwhile for the DSF 
to apply for this summer. The decision to apply on behalf of the DSF is up 
to Carlton, Mariusz, or another potential mentor.

Re: Potential suspension of Channels development

[Carlton Gibson]

Hey Andrew. 

Thanks to Jamesie and Asif for volunteering to help. 

Some general point, I'll make publicly, because they're general purpose: 

   - Due to Andrew's great work, the repos are in a good condition. Very 
   few open issues. The main task is to keep it that way: triaging the new 
   tickets, closing those we can. 
   - Let's use the labelling system Andrew already has in place. (No issues 
   if we don't do that perfectly, but lets try.) 
   - I don't think we can keep offering support in the repo. We need to 
   guide people to support channels. (A little hint is OK if you've got one 
   immediately.)
   - I'll set up protected branch rules, so all changes via PR (with 
   approvals) so we make sure we're on the same page, and can continue 
   Andrew's high standards. 
   - Let's not ping Andrew until we've explored all other possibilities. 
   Burnout/overwhelm is rubbish and self-care is the #1 priority. 

Thanks for all your work here Andrew. Have a breather. We'll try and keep 
it going. 
(I'm sure there's other people here who can help us when we get stuck...) 

Kind Regards,

Carlton
