Mehdi, there's a question stemming out of context below…
also sprach Chris Lamb <lamby@debian.org> [2017-03-17 18:33 +0100]:

The canonical website for mentors and students is also
https://www.gnome.org/outreachy/ …
I am not writing this to back up Chris' point. I've only caught
a glimpse of what outreach work entails, and I'd be really careful
just forking that. Instead, I'd hope to see us (a) embracing
outreach more throughout the project (not just making a sub-project
for it), and (b) then working with Outreachy to ensure that our
cooperation reaches the level of flexibility required for Debian.
Relating to this, I have a few questions, and if Mehdi is reading
along, I'd love to hear his thoughts too:
- What does "outreach" mean to you?
- Let's not ask "why is it important", but rather: what potentials
are there for Debian in furthering outreach initiatives?
- Can you identify areas in Debian where we're already doing
a good job?
- What are the obstacles that keep us in other areas?
- What do you think are the low-hanging fruits regarding outreach?
- What are some concrete steps you'd like to see happen ASAP?
