I am not very comfortable with the non-Debian members as DPL delegates and also representing Debian to the outside world. The efforts of everyone who contributes to Debian is valuable, but I think when it comes to the Outreach team, they are in fact representing official Debian project. In such a scenario I would definitely prefer Debian members. As a project we should be able to address this. Either we would have to find Debian members to be the coordinators or existing coordinators could explore the possibility of becoming Debian members. To be honest, if I become DPL, I would not be comfortable delegating to people who are not Debian members. > Q: Do you see any flaws on the current Outreach setup? If so, how > would you address them? Yes, I would not say the current Outreach setup is without flaws. I am aware that we do get some regular contributors through Outreachy, but we need to revisit and check what is the expense to return ratio. We need to have a better feedback loop as to if we are not able to retain contributors after the Outreachy period, where we are going wrong and what we can do to improve this. As mentioned in my platform, I am running for DPL primarily with "Diversity" in focus. So if I become DPL, I would definitely take it on personally to analyze Outreachy/diversity budget and efficiency. Even when I advocate for diversity, doing things and spending money in the name of diversity with no returns is not something I support. Right now I do not have a perfect picture about the current scenario, but this would be one of the priorities as DPL. > My best regards,
