[Sugar-devel] [IAEP] [SLOBS] Action needed on two issues

[Laura Vargas]

According to this logic,

(a) Can any volunteer request retroactive funds / get reimbursed after
giving related workshops? I understand now that Walter and Chris have total
control over the Trip Advisor grant, still there are ~US$20,000 on SL
accounts that could benefit many volunteers in this way. US$500 is not bad
for 5 days!

and (b) Anyone that raises money in the name of SL has the title to decide
how/when to spend this funds?

Thanks for addressing the issue,

Laura V
