[tdf-discuss] Re: November 2012 profits & losses
Hi Thorsten, Just answering at the top and nothing below. Thanks for the answers. Yup, I do read these things on all of the projects where I help out :-) Cheers, Marc Le 2013-02-18 13:29, Thorsten Behrens a écrit : Marc Paré wrote: I have a few questions about section 2900. I am not sure if some of the items belong there. Hi Marc, thanks for actually reading those things - I answer a bit selectively: What was 2900 Other costs charitable mission EUR 533.60 spent on? Lawyer and banking fees, all under the TDF charitable mission. Actually, now that I look at the 2900 heading, it may be better to re-label it in another way. "Other costs related to TDF" otherwise the label that is used now suggests that the costs below the 2900 section relates to costs that were incurred for charitable use -- which I don't think is what you mean. I do - so for the past year, *all* TDF expenses were done as a charity. To the best of my knowledge, no for-profit spendings. As such, we have to group those expenses under the 2500-2999 range (see below why). IMO, all of these could fit in the 2700 category if you use the 2700 title as "Office Expenses", then follow through with the 2701, 2702, 2703 etc. numbering. I don't know the reason why any TDF expenses should be singled out in 2900 when the whole Profit/Loss report about the TDF. All of the 2900 costs seem related to 2700 Office costs (which are understood to be "TDF Office Costs") We in theory have some freedom in assigning and using accounts, as long as we don't fall under the German Bilanzpflicht (a mandatory annual balance report, testified by a chartered accountant). But I think it pays to act as aligned to those rules as possible, to ease transition, and also to be reasonably self-documenting for someone knowledgeable of other German charity accounting practices. As such, we base TDF Berlin accounting on the SKR49 accounting template: http://www.datev.de/portal/ShowContent.do?pid=dpi&cid=75170 , which is standard for associations, foundations, and non-profit corporations. With that template, 2700-2799 are broadly assigned for membership administration costs, and 2800-2804 for member recruitment and benefits. Both don't seem to fit the case here. So I went for the broader catch-all account 2900, though with said subaccounts for recurring items (sub accounts, in contrast to sibling accounts, have the nice feature to give summary balances in the parent 2900 account). Along those lines (and if well-justified also beyond), I'll gladly improve things. Of course, early in the year is the best opportunity to meddle with account assignments etc etc. :) Cheers, -- Thorsten -- Marc Paré m...@marcpare.com http://www.parEntreprise.com parEntreprise.com Supports OpenDocument Formats (ODF) parEntreprise.com Supports http://www.LibreOffice.org -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to 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/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Perhaps as part of the process, you could write up a "how-to create a persona "theme" specifically for LibreOffice" on our wiki pages? This would really help. You could write it up on the marketing wiki section and we could link to it on the marketing section. We could also temporarily host the new LibreOffice personas on the wiki temporarily until a solution for a repository could be found. I don't think we are talking about thousands of specific LibreOffice personas, but this could be a temporary fix? IMO, most users would expect to see these on the extensions site and it would be a great draw (attraction) to get people into the extensions site. As you and I have found, the LibreOffice personas are a little different than those of FF, in that LibreOffice allows more space on the right hand side of the persona. The menu bars are also much more busier than FF. So this is both a bonus for writing in the "LibreOffice" label on the right-hand side but a little harder to deal with the busy menus. How does this sound to you? Cheers, Marc I just found out that LibreOffice does not use the font color that the FF Persona designs call for. So if the menu color is white in Firefox, LO will still use the black menu color. That really messes up people who want a dark color background that works well with FF. I will think about the wiki page information. I just wish there was a method of editing the theme using LO instead of using FF. Also, there is not "previously used theme/persona" list like there is for FF. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to 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/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
