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 [[Oversight_Board/Decisions#2016-06-10|MOTION 2016-34]] and [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2018-December/056108.html mailing list post].

== 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.
