Task description
The Debian Outreach Team is responsible for coordinating the participation of Debian in internship-like programs (including Outreachy and Google Summer of Code). This involves:
- acting as a contact point for all topics related to Debian's participation into those programs
- when necessary, ensuring the funding of Debian's participation (by requesting the use of Debian funds to the DPL, by organizing fundraising campaigns, etc.)
- when necessary, establishing Debian-specific rules about who can apply for the various roles (mentors, participants) in those programs
- ranking and selecting applications -- generally, considering the feedback given by mentors and other reviewers
- coordinating the communication around Debian's participation into those programs
