Topic: Outreachy sponsorship

* Chris: We want three interns, at $10k per intern. Are any companies
  interested in helping? The session starts in early December. GitLab or
  GitHub sponsored this in the past, but as of last year neither wanted
  to, so Git has had to pay.

* Patrick: Talk to GitLab's contributor success person.

* Elijah: We need to identify the right person to ask.

* Emily: I can ask Google's OSPO whether there is interest, though I am
  not expecting much.

Git Merge 2027:

* [There was some interest in holding Git Merge in Canada, given the
  political climate.]

* [Announcing the location early would help Outreachy and GSoC interns
  who want to attend.]
