Budgets ------- The primary place which we're collecting this information is at https:/ /wiki.gnome.org/Foundation/BudgetAndSpending, and links off there. This holds the current policies that have been approved by the board, as well as... *drumroll* - this year's approved budget! We think it's important for Foundation members to be able to see this, and so it's linked above. The budget itself should be fairly self-explanatory, but if anyone has some questions, please let me know and I'll do my best to explain. Policies -------- Two new policies also got approved - the spending policy and the reserves policy. Spending Policy: For spending, the previous position was that the board had to give their approval before any Foundation money was spent - which means a full vote of the board. We've introduced new approval limits (ie: greater than the zero it was before) in order to make things a bit more flexible. Additionally, there's the concept of budget holders - people or teams who can approve spending. These will be reviewed on an annual basis. Currently, there's not much change to the way things work for the Travel Committee. Sysadmin funds can be handled by Andrea Veri directly, and the engagement team (or more specifically, Nuritzi) can approve items from the marketing and 'small events' areas.
How much spending are you expecting to be done through the travel policy for the next financial year and in which items in the budget is this represented? Benjamin PS: Other than that, I noticed: * Limit for flights is >$1,650 in the summary but >$1800 in the text * Text says "Conservancy" (instead of Foundation?) in one place
