The PSF, for example, asks each sub-org how many slots they'd like, then they request the full # of slots to Google, and then they distribute the award slots among the sub-orgs proportional to what they requested. That way each org is pretty much guaranteed at least one slot. If NumFOCUS only gets 2 slots and there are more than 2 sub-orgs then it's more difficult. > > > > > Since SymPy is already under the NumFOCUS umbrella, how does NumFOCUS > plan > > to award slots to their organizations? > > > > We are certainly interested now that we were not selected as a mentoring > > organization ourselves. > > Ondrej > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "sympy" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sympy. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/sympy/CADDwiVBCO-LLujfYJEYfg%3Dgs%3D7EVXymV64i-K5t4nrKar8UOCg%40mail.gmail.com > . > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
