Re: D&I 2020 budget Request

two things immediately come to mind: 1. money for hiring consultants (as was previously discussed on ComDev) 2. money for funding/sponsoring diversity internships/scholarships (Outreachy, etc) On Thu, 23 May 2019 at 00:53, Griselda Cuevas wrote: > Hi folks - > > 2020 budget planning is upon us

Hi, 1.) Money to sponsor our Outreachy Internship projects(we could start with 5 or 10 interns). 2.) D&I specific travel assistance (For people who really need it, who are under represented). 3.) Money to sponsor an Apache Con in Africa(even a road show) or some other under represented location. H

Re: D&I 2020 budget Request

Yes, Outreachy works fairly similarly to GSoC during the mentorship part. I’ve been mentoring in it over in the Jenkins project the past several months where we’ve also been doing GSoC for a while as well. You can also sometimes get a “free” intern if the Outreachy general fund can afford giving yo

For the Africa event, Rich is appraised of my work and status. No worries there and I am working hard to get a detailed plan of attack for his review and discussion on planners. On Thu, May 23, 2019, 11:50 Joan Touzet wrote: > On 2019-05-23 8:19, Awasum Yannick wrote:> 3.) Money to sponsor an >

Re: D&I 2020 budget Request

Agreed.  I've been working on an Africa event for about 2 years now but it needs a proposal for Rich and the planners to review. I'm working towards that proposal and after the March roadshow was completed, I put it on a front burner.  I anyone wants to help on the proposal for the event to get it

Hi folks - let's please keep the discussion focused on *brainstorming initiatives* we'd like to get funding for.

Budget is naturally important, esp. in terms of timing around yearly planning. For myself it is useful to reframe the question to brainstorm in terms of* initiatives* for the year and such and not solely on the dollars. What to take on, whether or not requires money/budget (or I guess if there is

+1 to both of these, with the addition that we consider a consultancy that could support us in authoring a statistically and sociologically valid survey as well. This is critically important as a foundational step, let's get some experts in here. (Entire PhDs get written on survey methodology.) -J
