Re: Request for budget to update the event box contents

Hi Kat, 

The Board did a partial vote today on the updated expenses and you have been approved up to an amount of $3,300 USD for the purchases you need to make. 

As mentioned before, please follow the process outlined here: https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/Reimbursements, and send the completed reimbursement template to me + Rosanna. I've taken your feedback on privacy into consideration as we draft up the new rules for the budget holder for this / the committee that will approve funds in the near future. Thanks again for helping us find the areas where we need to tighten the process!

Best, 
Nuritzi

Any news from the board? Since the board doesn't send our their agenda
any more, I can't check if it will be discussed today.

The Board call is today and I've added the item to the agenda as well as have highlighted the fact that your deadline is having the box ready and shipped in time for the conference on March 24th. I would actually would like their decision ASAP too since it'd be great to have the US travel box ready in time for SCALE 16x on March 7th. 

I've sent them a request of our total budget needs, and will try to field any questions they have today. In case you're interested, here's a summary of the total amount we are requesting based on previous Engagement team calls about SWAG distribution centers and conferences:

ItemDescriptionCost (USD)
Stickers8 distribution centers$3,906.00
Shipping costs for stickers for local outreachShipping can cost between $10 and $25 $500.00
ConferencesSupposing we have a budget of $500 for 10 conferences this year$5,000.00
Travel box for Europe$3,300.00
Travel boxes for US$3,350.00
GNOME Socks for FOSDEM$1,314.00
MARKETING TOTAL$17,370.00

It's possible that the budget will only be partially approved. In that case, I will do my best to request a partial approval for at least the travel boxes, and in particular, the European one, so that you can make your deadline. 

Best, 
Nuritzi
