Hi Carlos, In the previous rounds, GNOME Foundation preferred that the sponsorship is provided by some other organization, when possible, while also making the sponsorship available when necessary. This round, I was able to line up $6,500 in sponsorship towards one intern from Red Hat, which is sufficient for GNOME to participate in Outreachy. I am checking with other potential sponsors about whether they want to sponsor additional interns.

(removed from CC everyone except foundation-list and Marina) Hello Marina, That sounds good! Just a question, what is the sponsorship of Red Hat and how that influences whether GNOME can participate in Outreachy? Couldn't we sponsor the students from the GNOME foundation money?
