[IAEP] Current funding request status

[Mel Chua]

We've got 3 outstanding tickets on 
http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/query?status=accepted&status=assigned&status=closed&status=new&status=reopened&component=fundingrequest&order=priority&col=id&col=summary&col=component&col=status&col=type&col=priority&col=milestone 
- time to discuss.

Please reply to the appropriate ticket's thread.

The urgent one is http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2801 - Rafael's 
funding request for FUDCon Panama (a new one). My suggestion is to split 
the funding 50/50 with Fedora - SL ponies up $325, Fedora ponies up 
$325. SLOBs, thoughts? Comment in the ticket.

http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2792 is time-sensitive as well; 
Sebastian's travel to EduJam. It's been approved, but the spending has 
yet to happen, and it's not clear whether Activity Central has 
specifically been asked for matching funds yet. Can we get an update on 
this? Comment in the ticket.

Finally, less urgent but still good to get ASAP: Sean's request for a PR 
phone line, http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2791 - I think I'd rather 
approve a lump sum ($120, which is 2-year's worth of phone) for this 
rather than set up an automatic monthly payment, because we don't know 
our future cash flow. Again, please comment in the ticket.

Thanks,
