Hello SLOBS and all! Motion has already 2 in favor (Samson and Laura) and two against (Walter and Ignacio).
Please Lionel , Sameer, Adam help us make a decision by stating your vote or suggesting modifications to the motion. I propose we start the debate of the base compensation with an amount of US$100 per month. The main task has been clearly defined as *1 complete financial report per quarter and it's publication on the Sugar Labs Finance Wiki page *maximum 30 calendar days after the end of the period. The next step would be to share with the community an *"open call for candidates for the Sugar Labs Financial Manager role"*. I volunteer in advance to give a hand with this.
