So, to be clear: would you authorize to use regular Debian funds to sponsor Debian participation into Outreachy (which costs ~6000 USD per intern), rather than going necessarily through dedicated fund raising campaigns at each edition? Considering that there are 2 Outreachy sessions per years, how many slots per year do you think it would be sensible funding on general Debian funds? (And of course doing the above wouldn't rule out running dedicated fund raising campaigns to sponsor *extra* slots.)
