The other additional one in there is $3k for "GNOME events" which covers things like release party reimburements, or other small events which are run.
I mean spending through the travel policy, not spending by the travel committee. As I understand it those are entirely separate processes and therefore I would expect separate items in the budget for this. I would find it rather odd if your travel as ED comes out of the TC budget.
Note, this 40k doesn't cover GUADEC travel as I understand it, that falls under the GUADEC budget line.
I am personally aware that the TC also gets budget indirectly through the conferences and internships. Benjamin
PS: Other than that, I noticed: * Limit for flights is >$1,650 in the summary but >$1800 in the textI believe that this is as it's for 1650 for the flight portion, and 1800 total. The actual change that got introduced at conservancy is: https://k.sfconservancy.org/policies/changeset/9569a5bbae38cffa181caa9d f9cd91fcd3169e8e
Ah, so total vs. airfare only. It stuck out to me as the domestic travel numbers match exactly.
* Text says "Conservancy" (instead of Foundation?) in one placeNice catch, thanks! As a bit of background, we're basically copying Conservancy's travel policy here. They've done the research on what's legal for a 501(c)(3) to do, and have sensible limits in place. It saves us rolling our own as well.
