And what is real or unreal about it? > - And to what does "quite expensive" refer? Thanks Ulrike for bringing up this point. According to https://www.outreachy.org/sponsor/ Outreach student has a cost of $6,500. Last round, from December 2019 to March 2020, Debian got a couple students, making a total cost of $13,000. Add on top of that travel sponsorship for promoting for promoting Debian Outreach coordinators (which I believe are not Debian contributors nor developers, please correct me if I am wrong) on finding students in conferences, which cost few other thousands in the past year. The total cost was well above $20k for Debian, just for one round. I find it "quite expensive" when comparing to volunteers work, but I would like to know the opinion of the postulated DPLs on that matter. I have been trying to measure the return from such program but looking at their mailing list for information, https://lists.debian.org/debian-outreach/ does not lead to any results or information. Maybe I am looking at the wrong space? Reading news, https://bits.debian.org/2019/11/welcome-outreachy-interns-2019-2020.html I find really helpful the work those students are doing, but given that has a cost, is it perfect? are there ways to improve? I would really love to know next DPL view on the matter. My best wishes, -- Héctor Orón -.. . -... .. .- -. -.. . ...- . .-.. --- .--. . .-.
