quick question about structures

[Ted Dunning <te...@gmail.com>]

I realize that this question might be viewed as a bit of a reset, but let's
soften that by saying that it is a hypothetical reset.


So ...

My question is whether the ASF would have a problem if Outreachy came to us
and said "We have funding for 5 internships to work on Apache projects, can
you help us select which interns and help interns find projects
of interest?". This is basically the same as GSoC from the point of view of
the ASF.

My theory is that the response would be about the same. "Sure". At the
level of five interns, it is likely that the process would be a bit
different (as in, it is likely that one or two people would have a
high-touch approach to helping interns match up to projects).

The reason that I think that the answer would be yes is that there is a
strong similarity to an existing arrangement and because no money comes
from ASF to make this happen.


Assuming that this is the response, my second question is whether we could
make things

This is exactly how it would work - from the Outreachy website[1]:
     “Internship stipends for a specific set of Free and Open Source (FOSS)
communities.”
