[steering-discuss] candidacy for BoD seat
Hello, hereby, I'd like to announce my candidacy for a Board of Directors seat at The Document Foundation. My name is Florian Effenberger, my e-mail address is flo...@documentfoundation.org, and being a student, my work here is solely pro-bono, not affiliated with any corporation or employer. I would like to contribute to LibreOffice mostly in terms of marketing and infrastructure, and especially in helping to manage the daily duties of the Foundation. As asked in the announcement, I kept this summary rather short, and will provide some more details about myself to the disc...@documentfoundation.org mailing list, where candidacies and candidates are to be discussed.

I've added your and Olivier's notes to http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/TDF/Refunding - maybe we can move the discussion over to discuss@ to create some policy.

[steering-discuss] Refund Policy, was Reimbursement for LinuxCon Europe
Florian Effenberger wrote: > 2. Should we come up with some sort of travel refund policy, at least a > preliminary one? Yes. I have limited my request to travel and lodging, as I have been able to get a free seat at the VIP dinner (which otherwise costs 70 euro for speakers). Parking and transfers are based on least cost offers, which I have booked online. I think that travel and lodging (mid category: 3 stars in Europe) should be included, plus parking and airport transfers (because they are not "usual" costs), while we can probably pay for food and local transportation - until we have some more money - as these are normal "daily life" expenses.

[steering-discuss] Proposal: Optional local NGO donation links on download and extension pages
Hi *, as brought up on Saturday's SC meeting, it is deemed helpful for local, native-lang NGOs to have their donation details listed on frequently-viewed pages like the download page. Here's a proposal on who would be considered eligible. Note that this applies *only* to translated pages, i.e. http://it.libreoffice.org/download/, http://de.libreoffice.org/download/ etc. The generic english pages will not be affected by this proposal. A local, native-lang NGO, that is in good standing with TDF, and fulfills the following prerequisites * has at least three NGO members, that are accepted TDF members at the same time * is an non-profit organisation * has, in the past year, organised or participated in at least one local or native-lang event, that was promoting or helping LibreOffice can ask for having their donation details listed on the native lang download and extension pages, below the generic TDF one. Multiple NGOs per native-lang category can apply, and are listed in order of application. Listed NGOs are reviewed after one year. Let's have this approved as a preliminary rule, and refine it during the LibreOffice conference.
