Eligibility of participants per GSoC'24 F.A.Q.

[Guus der Kinderen]

Hello!

Thanks for organizing yet another year of this awesome program!

A question on the eligibility of participants: The GSoC'24 FAQ defines the following restriction on participation:

> Due to current circumstances, GSoC 2024 is not accepting participants (Contributors, Mentors or Organization Administrators) from Russia, Belarus, or the so-called Donetsk People's Republic ("DNR") and Luhansk People's Republic ("LNR"). There are no restrictions on participants located within Ukraine but outside of the DNR and LNR.

Could you please clarify if this refers to:

1. The nationality of participants
2. The location/residence of participants
3. Both

We're acting under the assumption that it means both. Is that correct? It would be a pity if we reject participants that are in fact eligible, based on a false assumption. Could you please consider clarifying this in the FAQ document, to help prevent future confusion?

Kind regards,

  Guus
