Yes thank you!

Now I remember that was the first time I was rejected to help out with
finances :D

During that meeting
<http://meeting.sugarlabs.org/sugar-meeting/meetings/2012-01-03T21:12:16>
you mention:


21:17     walterbender     Yes, Robert brings lots of experience.
21:18         So I proposed to both of them that Robert be the one to
manage the finances and the SFC relationship and Laura work with him on
strategies for the organization
21:18         They both seemed comfortable with that
21:18         Comments? Questons?


Still, I never heard from Robert nor saw any financial report nor
strategies shared by him.

Can you add a reference to the financial reports from Robert?

Do you remember, when did Robert quit?

Thank you in advance to help me understand better how did Robert managed
the position so I can learn.

Note: I don't add Robert to copy because I don't have his email.

Regards

Laura
