[Sugar-devel] [SLOBS] [IAEP] [sfconservancy.org #1322] For Approval: Jaskirat Singh funding and advance for travel to GSoC mentor summit

[Lionel Laské]

+1

BTW there is something contradictory between words from Brett ("not covered
by the money coming from Google for GSoC") and from Walter ("We will get
$3300 from Google to cover all of the expenses"). Could you clarify this
point ? Specifically, the possibility to use not expended money from others
GSoC attendees to cover Jaskirat costs.

          Lionel.
