Asking about possibility to allocate some funds as a resource to purchase gifts to the Google Summer of Code students
Right so I would sincerely want to ask the board about the possibility of allocating some funds for which could be used as a resource to purchase and sending gifts to the Google Summer of Code students, to celebrate their success and honor their work.
I think it could be especially relevant to purchase and send gifts to the Google Summer of Code students this year when the students have worked so hard and their contributions have been so valuable.
To send a gift to the students could be a way to make them feel more connected to GNOME, hopefully increasing the likelihood that the students stay involved in the community and continue to contribute over time .
While we might opt for postcards this year we might be able to send something else next year if some funds are granted for the purpose of purchase and sending gifts.
*hopefully the GSoC-admins will be able sort out the administrative things surrounding sending a gift to the students as well as other *details or things that might occur as part of the gift purchase process.
Feedback is very much welcomed.
*also sent a mail regarding this.
