Re: [Sugar-devel] [SLOB] GSoC mentor stipend motion

Disapprove. Comment. I would prefer to see the motion that mentors can request the funds allotted to them. Any funds not requested go to the Sugar general fund. Tony On 05/07/2016 12:49 AM, Walter Bender wrote: At today's Sugar Labs oversight board meeting [1], we discussed the motion submi

[Sugar-devel] [SLOB] GSoC mentor stipend motion

At today's Sugar Labs oversight board meeting [1], we discussed the motion submitted by Sebastian Silva to allow the mentors participating in Google Summer of Code to disperse the mentor stipend among themselves as they see fit. I second the motion and bring it to you in an email vote. Background:

[Sugar-devel] [SLOB] Yoruba i18n motion

[Sugar-devel] [SLOB] Finance Manager Motions

As per the discussion at today's Sugar Labs oversight meeting [1], we agreed that the first 2 motions regarding the Finance Manager position [2] need more work before they are ready for a vote. In rereading Motions 3 and 4, they don't really make sense until we resolve the first two motions. So I s

The financial spring cleaning CarylB, DaveC and others have worked hard on within https://docs.google.com/document/d/16jIFuZ9bX-Bv675BpA1KmcEcRcX4PRCOUEX0ICRUkOc/edit is promising, but seems premature in my opinion, until its mechanics are better understood: - Even if we suppose that $X remains $2
