Normally the stipends can be requested by the mentors, but the mentors agreed not to request, but suggested that the money be used for marketing. See [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2018-December/056108.html mailing list post].

~~;PENDING MOTION 2019-01: Preserve the unpaid GSoC 2018 stipend for marketing purposes, and thank the mentors who suggested this~~.

We discussed;

* mentors made this agreement in private (Subject "GSoC mentor stipend" on October 11th),

* that there was no plan in the motion,

* ~~decision-making process~~,

* that Conservancy is unlikely to let us spend any money without a plan,

* ~~mentors made this agreement in private (Subject "GSoC mentor stipend" on October 11th)~~,

* past undermining of decisions,

* ~~[...]~~

* need for consensus as a control for undermining,

* role of the liaison or project representative,

We did not come to an agreement. Next action is to write a marketing plan together.

;PENDING MOTION 2019-01: Preserve the unpaid GSoC 2018 stipend for marketing purposes, and thank the mentors who suggested this.

== Google Summer of Code 2019 ==

Walter asked us to consider our participation in Google Summer of Code 2019.

We discussed;

* decision to be made by 23rd January,

* quantity of project ideas,

* organisational administrator(s),

* benefits and costs, including exposure to broader FOSS community,

* need for a process to select project ideas,

* need for a process to select mentors,

* the Sugar Labs [https://github.com/sugarlabs/GSoC GSoC] repository,

* hidden development conversations,

We agreed to participate.

;AGREED MOTION 2019-02: Sugar Labs will apply for Google Summer of Code 2019.

=== Google Code-in 2018 Travel ===

== Google Code-in 2018 Travel ==

Walter asked us to budget an amount to cover the difference between Google and actual travel costs for a mentor chosen by the grand prize winner.

We discussed;

* difference in costs may be because of travel from Africa or India,

* difference may exceed $2000,

* Google may help with difference,

* we will know more when the grand price winners are announced on the 7th and they chose a mentor,

* the Conservancy will require a specific decision anyway,

;AGREED MOTION 2019-03: Sugar Labs matches the Google Code-In Summit travel budget, by paying from our own funds up to $2k.

== Goals for 2019 ==

We discussed;

* we are out of time for this meeting,

* this item will require more time,

* the summary of submissions is at [[Goals/2018_Submissions]],

* we may discuss by e-mail.

Meeting closed at 21:07.
