Walter Bender made a report;

proposals are landing, they need to be in by next week,
we will submit mentors to Google to demonstrate that we have mentors available,
once we have slots assigned and agree on which proposals to accept, we can cull the mentor list,

We discussed;

quality of proposals; students unwilling to research, or who have familiar technologies they wish to use,
adding Tarun, as mentor for Sugarizer Dashboard,
limits on number of mentors,
how more than one mentor per project creates doubt as to who is responsible to answer,
we will have mentors submitted to Google who participate in pedagogy, music, or other facets of development,
risks of secret conversations between mentors and students,
our traditions are not codified,

We did not make a decision.

AGREED MOTION 2019-15: appoint Alex Perez as one of our GNOME project representatives.
