Purely my own opinion, not the view of the GSoC admins (or rather, not *verified* as our view), just mine: Yes. This would be amazing. The money each year goes to the *org*. We can spend it as an org, and really, it's up to the DPL. In years past, it was used to help pay for DebConf newbies, but I (personally) would rather see an OPW slot. *personally* > > Bonus question: do we have good fundaising-management sofware packaged in > Debian ?
