:grinning: The awkward truth is that Mark doesn’t have the capacity right now to request funding for sponsored internships and then to run the sponsored internships. She Code Africa Contributhon and Google Summer of Code are taking all the time that he has.

Mark is also justifying referring to himself in third person in this case because he spent years asking his twin children to stop referring to themselves in the third person. When at the dinner table describing her experience at school, Heidi would say, “Heidi had a test today”. The rest of us around the table would look at Heidi, say, “You’re Heidi” and then would ask her to stop speaking in third person.

Gavin speaks in the third person when gavin gets tired, It actually takes effort not to.

Gavin totally understands, gavin just wasn’t sure if it was a thought that didn’t get finished.
