It will take some time before I can confirm whether or not GitLab is
willing to sponsor one Outreachy intern.

I clicked on the "Community will participate" button, but this leads
to a page saying "Outreachy internship funding is required" and where
we have to list the sponsors we have, the amount of funds they are
willing to sponsor, if the funding is secured and the funding decision
date. I think I will fill this out saying that we have 3 (potential)
sponsors: the Git project, GitHub and GitLab. I will not check the
"funding is secured" checkbox and say that the decision date is
October 5 (so just one day before the deadline for "Project list
finalized"). This will leave time to find out if we can indeed sponsor
at least one intern.

Let me know if that works for both of you.

By the way, Kaartic, do you still want to be an org admin? And Taylor
are you Ok with Kaartic being an org admin?

It seems that I received an email asking me to confirm Kaartic as an
org admin, but I couldn't confirm then and later when clicked to the
link to confirm it looked like it wasn't possible anymore to confirm
that. So not sure what happened, but maybe we could try again to
register you as an org admin.

Best,
Christian.
