There are two rounds of internship each year. The next “Pre Application” period is late August 2019. Will we be ready with a co-ordinator, projects willing to take part & mentors by then? If not the next period starts in Late January 2020. The minimum commitment required is funding for one intern @ $6,500 and it could well work out that Outreachy will be able to connect interns with Sponsors for funding. There’s still the question of how we will setup long term with Sponsors so that the ASF isn’t paying for interns. I would suggest that this year is seen as a trial run and just ask for $13,000 for 2 interns (one in each period) with the understanding that this is just seed money to allow us to participate and may not be spent if Outreachy can hook up Sponsors. We’ll learn lessons this year and if a solution can be found for funnelling sponsors direct to Outreachy then hopefully it will be self funding pretty quickly.
