Hi Carol and Chris! Thank you for the replies!
>> >> I'm wondering if would make sense to limit the scope of the application pool >> to Africa with the hope of increasing adoption and participation there. Then >> if there was a follow up grant to serve the Global South or open to both >> Africa and the Global South. We can, but I also see an equal demand for projects like this in Southern Asia for example… I don’t understand what you mean with a follow up grant, sorry. Do you have something in mind that would only work for Africa? I’m happy to constrain the area of the project if you believe it’d be more impactful. >> >> While I would prefer if we ran the program through Outreachy since it would >> be simpler to implement, but I understand if that is not possible. I love outreachy, my only problem with the program is that it doesn’t focus on people of disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds and that’s the main thing I’d like to tackle because I believe is the most impactful group of people I can reach. I’d rather run it with the NumFOCUS grant and be able to put this constraint in place. If, however, Outreachy folks would be open to run an internship with this requirement I’d love to run under their program. Maybe I should reach out and ask! I’d be grateful if you could connect me with someone but I’m also comfortable cold emailing folks. >> >> How would the selection process for the intern be done? I haven’t gave much thought to that… I guess I’d try to mimic Outreachy selection criteria, have interns working on these projects for a few weeks and then choose the ones that performs the best according to metrics like capability to communicate problems, to reach out, etc. Here’s <https://www.outreachy.org/docs/applicant/#contribution-evaluation> a list of questions that mentors ask themselves to evaluate interns in outreachy. I’d use the same. >> >> We can chat more at JupyterCon if you wish. Unfortunately I won’t be around in JupyCon, I thought I would because of NumFOCUS Unconference but folks changed the date so! :/ Chris, thanks for the resources. This is a helpful guide =) I’ll definitely incorporate it in the process.
