I don't have a particular idea for those funds (as opposed to the funds
earmarked for Security and Privacy), so I am open to ideas.  But we must
stick to what we promised to our donors: "If we are able to defend the
mark without spending this amount, we will use the remaining funds to
bolster and improve GNOME."

I think most of us haven't seen latest the accounts yet, but I think it's probably fair to assume that a war chest of ~$100,000 is probably a wee bit excessive. ;-) so in principle, I'd echo Tobias and also advocate we take ideas from members like yourself on what we ought to spend surplus funds on in order to "bolster and improve GNOME".
