Re: Question to all: Outreach
Hi 朱晟菁,

It's still not clear to me the difference between GSoC and Outreachy program.
GSoC is a Google program:
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/
Outreachy is a SFC program (originally founded at GNOME):
https://www.outreachy.org
Both are unrelated except for Outreachy not accepting interns that have
already had a GSoC assignment and Debian choosing to run them both via
the Debian Outreach team, cf. https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Outreach .
IIUC, GSoC interns are paid by Google, which I appreciate their generosity.
Correct.
But who pays Outreachy interns? Is this the same that some companies
pay for it? like the companies logo on https://www.outreachy.org/.
However I'm confused that Debian is listed as sponsor on
https://www.outreachy.org. Why Debian sponsors other programs while
Debian needs others' sponsors?
Outreachy internships can be paid for by the sponsoring organization
that also hosts the interns (i.e. Debian), by other organizations paying
for specific assignments (i.e. the United Nations) or by sourcing from
Outreachy's general fund.
As Debian can afford paying for its interns itself, we do.
Other organizations cannot and they are partially supported from our
"share" that Outreachy.org takes ($500 per intern)* and donations that
Outreachy.org gets awarded by other donors for granting internships
and/or supporting its own charitable mission.
See https://www.outreachy.org/sponsor/ for details.
* this also pays for the administrative work Outreachy.org
staff are doing for the projects, managing the internships
Kind regards,
Daniel
