[17:10] Ubuntu is going to apply this year [17:10] but we need to sort out who gets money [17:10] and who signs contract [17:10] since Canonical is not Ubuntu [17:10] :) [23:09] it's up to the org how they handle the money [23:09] some allow it to go directly from Google to mentors [23:10] that is the only money we're talking about afaik [23:10] in the case of KDE, the money goes to the e.V. (foundation) [23:10] and then KDE sends mentors to the mentor summit with that money [23:11] so if there isn't a community foundation of some sort, Canonical may be willing to handle it instead [23:11] often mentors *can't* be paid directly because of tax laws [23:12] I suggest talking to someone such as Lydia "Nightrose" or someone from the GNOME foundation for more specific info [23:13] the Google folks in #gsoc are excellent as well
