In the call: Laura, Katrin, Markus, Sara, Sebastian, Anika, Lisa, Sven, Floor
###updates round
Anika has an interview coming up for RBB together with Ute (RG Berlin).
Floor send out emails in accordance with Sven and Sebastian.
Lisa has a contact to Sweetpad (hotel software written in Rails) and will ask them for sponsering.
Sven emailed 40 companies (like Yahoo, Dropbox and Stripe) and is waiting to hear back from them.
Sebastian has been playing around with the notifier app and will move the selection process feature from the campaign app to the teams app.
Sara worked on finalizing the Duana app, and answered a bunch of emails in the RGSoC inbox and from people asking questions to her directly. She has an hour a day to spare, so ping her if you need specific stuff done.
Markus will contact Lieferheld to be a sponsor. He is working on the coaches guide and planning to make a pull request later this week. He also plans to work on some issues for the teams app.
Katrin is shaping up the selection process and trying to find fit externals for the selection team (externals should probably make up for 1/3 of that team). She's thinkng on writing some 'rating guidelines', as well as 'defining' how much time it will cost externals to be part of the selection team. Sven suggested it will take 15 minutes per worthy/pre-waded application, 30-50 in total, plus the time spend discussing the rankings. Conclusion: 2 to 3 days, or a very full weekend.
Laura contacted FM4 who will mention RGSoC as their web tip this week. She talked at RG Ostrava and vienna.rb about RGSoC.

Volunteer teams policy: rails-girls-summer-of-code/summer-of-code#207 (comment)
"Remote teams must show significant evidence they can work remote, and which tools they use for collaborating and pair programming. They should both have access to a coach locally and these coaches should be able to work together as well."
Regarding volunteering teams being able to 'do part-time': "We should not water down the commitment of joining RGSoC. Compare it to a developer bootcamp like Hackbright or Dev Bootcamp, there you'll pay 15.000 dollar, for RGSoC you just need to make sure you can survive for 3 months (off)." - this was what Sven and Floor were saying, but NOT a decision, let's discuss this in the corresponding ticket.
"We should research how last years volunteering teams performed in terms of; did they make the full 3 months, full-time?"
