Hi 朱晟菁,

GSoC is a Google program:
  https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/

Outreachy is a SFC program (originally founded at GNOME):
  https://www.outreachy.org

Both are unrelated except for Outreachy not accepting interns that have 
already had a GSoC assignment and Debian choosing to run them both via 
the Debian Outreach team, cf. https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Outreach .

Correct.

Outreachy internships can be paid for by the sponsoring organization 
that also hosts the interns (i.e. Debian), by other organizations paying 
for specific assignments (i.e. the United Nations) or by sourcing from 
Outreachy's general fund.
As Debian can afford paying for its interns itself, we do.

Other organizations cannot and they are partially supported from our 
"share" that Outreachy.org takes ($500 per intern)* and donations that 
Outreachy.org gets awarded by other donors for granting internships 
and/or supporting its own charitable mission.
See https://www.outreachy.org/sponsor/ for details.

* this also pays for the administrative work Outreachy.org
staff are doing for the projects, managing the internships

Kind regards,
Daniel
