Hi Gris, I will like to Coordinator Outreachy for the ASF. I have had some experience with mentoring GSoC for Apache Fineract and the Mifos Initiative over the past few years.
I am part of an under represented group and have access to former GSoC students and Mentors who will be willing to mentor Outreachy. Even though, I dont have experience with fundraising, It will be a great opportunity to help out and improve diversity at the ASF on all the other aspects of the program. Thanks.
