## Activity:
*** Project: Internships for underrepresented groups (Outreachy) ***
- Round "May 2021 - August 2021" has concluded with good feedback. Thank you Justin Ross for contributing to this program as a mentor on the project "Implement distributed tracing for Qpid Proton C++". [1][2]
Round "December 2021 to March 2022" has started [3]. We made the initial application as a community to get in the program and got confirmation for the budget from David Nalley as AWS representative. We have a budget for at least one intern, until now. Thank you David for helping us with the budget. Thank you Jarek Potiuk and Matt Sicker for looking for an additional budget on your side as well, every contribution counts! [3]
- We are calling for mentors for the current round. [4]
For the current round (Dec2021-March2022), we received 2 project proposals from the Airflow PMC and possibly a third one coming. Airflow PMC' experience with the program has been successful, according to Jarek Potiuk's feedback, they had great success with the round a couple of years back - with Ephraim - the Outreachy Alumni, who just became a PMC Member of Apache Airflow!

*** Operations
- FY2021: Katia received the information of FY2021.
*** Project: User Experience Research on new contributors ***
- The goal of this second part of the project is to make actionable recommendations for ASF projects to spread the lessons learned. We will start with one ASF project (PMC) and one approach for improvements.
- Action items and progress:
- Approve final Report of the Community Survey & Contributor Experience: in progress. Joe Brockmeier and Bitergia team are working on final changes.
- Review contract and sign: We are delaying the signature of the contract because our representative in Google, Brittany Hermann, has to complete her onboarding process before having access to the budget for this project. Once, she can allocate the budget, we will proceed with the contract. A possible date to start working on this project is January 2022.
