[Debconf-team] Diversity Sponsorships

I speak no spanish and know nothing about Cuba, so someone else should probably plan any fun :) I'd be happy to talk about Debian Outreachy, or just hang out and learn. Cubans aren't eligible for Outreachy though, so it makes it -feel- less relevant. Most of what I've done around Debian is spendin
