- community (project) -- 15.029,94 € (plan was 30,000.00 €) - staff -- 467.624,28 € The budget for the community was also before the pandemic restrictions very low. And there is a further issue. There seemed to be a problem to even execute on this small budget. Thus TDF has to evaluate the reasons for this poor execution and make improvements (especially for the time after the corona pandemic). If TDF will dodge on this topic, there will be from my opinion no valid reason to complain about a 'shortage' of volunteers in the LibreOffice project.
