[steering-discuss] Vote: decision on screenshots

2011-08-18 Thread Florian Effenberger

Hi,

I would like to call for an official steering committee vote for the 
screenshot issue. Based on the feedback on this list, this is the final 
version I propose to vote upon. Please do *not* change the text anymore 
at this stage, we really should get it finished now. ;-)


"Screenshots for documentation, website and marketing should preferably 
be taken on GNU/Linux, but may also be taken on any other operating system.


The Steering Committee recommends a consistent visual appearance (e.g. 
theming and branding) for the screenshots taken on the selected 
operating system. It is up to the LibreOffice community how to achieve 
that consistency."


+1 from my side

Thanks to everyone who worked on this!

Florian

Re: [steering-discuss] Proposal: how to use the GSoC money

2011-08-18 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
Thanks for clarifying that :)  I think there are a lot of times when trying to 
spend nothing ends up costing a lot in missed opportunity.  If you think TDF 
would gain a lot by spending more then it's probably easier to state the gain 
and ask.  

Regards from
Tom :)

Nope. It's $500 per student, plus $2000 max for the mentor summit
travel. Tallies up to $5000 from Google, and I would not dare asking
to spend more than we get. ;)

Cédric told me that he is now in contact with the SPI treasurer, so I
won't intervene later. In any case if you still need me don't hesitate
to ask.

If you look at the treasurer report here
http://www.spi-inc.org/meetings/agendas/2011/2011-08-10/
there is some processing fees, I can ask for explanations and details
to Michael if you want.

Hi Thorsten, All...

Em 17-08-2011 11:09, Thorsten Behrens escreveu:

Hi there,

with GSoC 2011 nearing its end, it's the time of invoicing Google
for the organisation money donations, and the mentor summit travel
reimbursements.

Since we're an accepted SPI subproject, it's easiest to route the
money that way (SPI is a registered vendor at Google).

There are a few nice conventions on how to spend this money, and I'd
like to make the formal proposal to keep them also here with TDF:

  * google pays travel for two gsoc mentors, to attend the mentor
summit in october. conventionally, the org admins go there,
mingle with the other orgs' admins, and conspire to make GSoC
even better next year. note that this part of the google donation
is earmarked for specifically this travel (google wants to see
ticket invoices separately)
  * google pays $500 per student to the mentoring organizations; in
past years, we've used that money (in part) to pay travel
stipends for successful students, to attend the conference.

Proposal:
  * accept GSoC money through SPI

+1

  * reimburse Fridrich and Cedric for their travel to the mentor
summit

+1

  * offer travel stipends to successful students, for the LibOCon

+1

  * cap above expenses at $5000 (the amount we receive from Google) -
or slightly less, does SPI charge us something for handling the
money?

Let's discuss and (if possible) approve this on this Saturday's SC
call.
