A majority vote of the current board members is required for the following matter.

Proposal:

Votes:

Board Member 1.
Josh Andler c
Tavmjong Bah abstain
Ted Gould c
Martin Owens a
Marc Jeanmougin a
Chris Rogers a

Resolution:

The referendum passes. Mentors who request it will be given up to $400.

Background:

Every year, we participate in GSoC, sometimes Outreachy, with a few community members mentoring new contributors. This mentoring task takes time and efforts, and offering support for potential mentors may help them dedicate more time to it, and may help in the long run to have a more diverse pool of mentors. In addition, the project gets a “project stipend” from Google of 500$, so I’m suggesting to take from this amount with 20% still for the project general funds.
