3pleX-dev | Hi Fernando Rodrigues,
I hope you’re doing well. The Outreachy results have been published, and I saw that while the NGI NixOS project had one intern selected, the Reproducible Builds project did not have any selections.
I participated actively in the contribution period for the Reproducible Builds project, and I was hoping to understand whether there was a particular reason no intern was selected. I’m genuinely interested in contributing to the NixOS community and would appreciate any feedback or insights you might be able to share about the decision. 🙏🏽 | 16:13:02 |
Fernando Rodrigues | Hey. It is with a heavy heart that I say this, but unfortunately Outreachy rejected all of our requests to fund interns using the Outreachy General Fund. The only intern funded was funded using money from an European Union grant to NixOS-NGI, not Outreachy. This unfortunately means that all of our selected interns were rejected. | 16:14:51 |
Fernando Rodrigues | For what it's worth, we've selected you and guider-le-recit for the cohort. Unfortunately, it didn't seem like Outreachy had any interest in funding NixOS projects. | 16:16:33 |
3pleX-dev | Thank you for getting back to me and for explaining the situation. While it’s disappointing to hear that Outreachy didn’t fund any of this time, I’m truly grateful to know that I was among those selected by the community. That really means a lot. | 16:23:46 |
ethancedwards8 | Yes. As co-mentor for the repro. builds outreachy project, I was very impressed by y'alls work. Thank you for all of the effort you have put in. I deeply regret that the funding fell through. | 16:28:12 |
Fernando Rodrigues | In reply to @3plexdev:matrix.org Thank you for getting back to me and for explaining the situation. While it’s disappointing to hear that Outreachy didn’t fund any of this time, I’m truly grateful to know that I was among those selected by the community. That really means a lot. You and guider-le-recit may be interested in another slot for the NGI internship at the Summer of Nix. It's organised by the NixOS Foundation, and they're currently accepting applications. | 16:30:52 |
3pleX-dev | Okay I’ll take a look at it. Thank you 🙏🏽 | 16:33:47 |
