Number of Outreachy interns and co-mentors

Christian Couder· Sep 26, 2019, 13:12 UTC · lore

Hi Peff and everyone,

On https://www.outreachy.org/apply/project-selection/#git it looks like we will only have 1 intern as the title of our section is "Git - 1 intern". I wonder if it's because only funding for 1 intern has been secured or if there is another reason.

Also I am not sure how people can register that they are ok to co-mentor one of the project, but it looks like the person who registered a project can invite co-mentors. So I think it would be nice if people, who would be ok to co-mentor, could tell which projects they would be ok to co-mentor, so that we all know and that they can be invited to co-mentor on the site.

It would be great if we could have 2 (co-)mentors per project and it would likely help getting funding for all the interns.

Thanks, Christian.

Right, it's because of the funding promise.

Yeah, I agree it would be nice to have that in the system if there's going to be co-mentoring. I don't know how the interface for it works, though (and I think the mentors see different screens than I do).
