I will miss the internal review meeting tomorrow, and am providing feedback via comment:

1. Can the applicant please fill out the check boxes at the end of the issue?
2. I would like to understand how the university might put 100+ developers on OSSF projects, and since the university hasn't yet engaged, do a followup alignment call to determine an onboarding path of TIs to interested university student developers.

Generally, with these two items addressed, I am supportive.

Thanks Anhanda!
