• I am bringing this topic again as I was contacted by a ASF member that wanted to participate in the Outreachy program during the May-August 2023 round. As communicated in my report of February 2023, we are not going to participate in the program because we did not have sponsorships approved on time, this is the main reason, no one showed interest and we didn't submit our application to participate due to lack of sponsorship. The due date past passed and we had no longer opportunity to participate during said round, we can always participate during the December-March round, paperwork and sponsorships must be approved during August/September. Outreachy supported our decision of not participating in this round because we might be very busy with the "Appropriation of indigenous culture" topic and won't have much time to dedicate to the Outreachy programmay take a lot of time and resources, so it was better for both sides to keep focus to what is important and allocate resources were needed. To give you more context, I was contacted by Outreachy representatives on February to discuss the topic of what is the ASF doing to solve the concerns related to the "Appropriation of indigenous culture" [31] [42]. I communicated at that time that we were working on a solution, a committee was created to address these concerns, and Outreachy representatives agreed on the decision of not participating during the current round to focus on this topic, and proactively offered to help in anything they could. The point that we should take from this is that Outreachy is also aware and concerned about the "Appropriation of indigenous culture" topic, they take the code of conduct very seriously, they would like to see progress on the issue, and offered to help us.
