Re: [IAEP] A Better Idea...
What does the SFC say about the management of grant funds?

Document signings involving Walter require prior SFC review. In my view, disbursal of funds from a successful grant should be managed by SFC/SLOBs (perhaps primarily in the role of a Finance Manager or Treasurer), as per Gould or TripAdvisor.

Samson - I'm afraid there's no mandatory anything :-) nearly all of us are unpaid volunteers... I'm nobody's boss, and it's better that way. The best way to ask SL members to engage, and for people to like & share what we post, is for us to be clear about what we are doing. We shouldn't just ask everyone to post anything. Let's assume you want to do developer recruitment. What skills we need most right now? Shall we post a "job ad", stating very clearly that it is an unpaid volunteer post? GSoC is underway. Perhaps we should post something about that. But what? here's where planning comes in. How do we show the work being done? the mentoring? in a way that's fair to all the participants? As I've said I think it's great you want to take initiative on social media, even if I don't think SL can pay a salary. I myself am unable to put in the time. I'm just trying to say we have to build stories and a little planning goes a long way. Sean ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
