Re: [board-discuss] Seeking approval for server procurement
Hi :) +1 Ok, i am not a voting member but the options here seem to be 1. accept the donation and get an asset that might be useful (probably will be enormously useful) 2. hand back the dosh So i am not really clear why it's even up for discussion or voting on but i guess it's good policy jic it leads to further unexpected expenses or other problems (which seems very unlikely).

Re: [board-discuss] Seeking approval for server procurement
Hi Thorsten, * I'm not voting, but want to get this right ... Original-Nachricht Von: Thorsten Behrens t...@documentfoundation.org An: board-discuss@documentfoundation.org TDF has received a generous, targetted donation of $3000 to procure a rack-mountable server, dedicated for dev-related workloads, e.g. tinderbox builds. One of our sponsoring companies is offering for-free hosting, such that this is a one-off spending. This would mean, that 1) TDF gets $3k to by any server that then will be hostet by a sponsor for free 2) TDF gets $3k to by a certain server which is available, and hosted by a sponsor for free If it is 2) the board should at least verify and document, that the server price is reasonable according to current server market condidtions. regards, André -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to board-discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
