+# Internships, Outreachy, GSoC et al
+
+## Motivation
+* prevent Guix becoming a niche project
+* attracting new people, increase audience...
+
+## Internships
+* GSoC isn't financally attractive for students as in the past
+* doing our own summer of code -> funding is available
+* successes of the past are a bit forgotten -> some where extremly successful
+* GNU project no longer an umbrella organization -> we need to apply for 
ourself
+* organizations can apply for GSoC 2023 until 2023-02-07 -> we don't do it 
this year
+
+## Outreachy
+* winter 2023/24
+* problem: Outreachy doesn't accept funding by FSF (RMS story)
+* need to find a way to do it via Guix Europe -> Andreas could help
+* we need mentors
+* we need projects
+* coordinator for overall organizational stuff
+
+## Ideas
+* have more than one internship at the same time -> student review code of 
each other
+* dedicated IRC channels for intership as done in the past
+* https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/GSoC-2021
+* having more then one mentor for a student
+* paying the mentor (GSoC gives 500$ per mentor)
+* project should be "small" enough to upstream it during the internship time 
period
+
+## How to make it resilient?
+* have post-internship "mentor ship"
+* offer some "gift" in the aftermath -> e.g. 1 year of a small server for 
running Guix System
+* transparently communicate what's going on to the Guix community
+
+## Action plan
+* contacting Google (Gabor)
+* contacting Outreachy (Gabor)
+* arrangement with Outreachy about the funding (Gabor, Andreas)
+* check requirements of GSoC (Gabor)
+* process description (Gabor)
+* start communication on the mailing list and IRC
+* define fall back contacts
