Motion regarding GSoC mentoring stipends<br>
<br>
Motion: Whereas it is the general policy of Sugar Labs to retain
all GSoC mentoring stipends in the General Fund, if a mentor
asks a GSoC Admin (for example in 2016, Walter or Lionel) to pay
a stipend to a mentor, their share of the stipend amount will be
disbursed without further motions to approve the spending. The
share is calculated from the total awarded for the GSoC slot by
Google, minus 10% (as all Sugar Labs income is donated to
Software Freedom Conservancy for organisational services), minus
5% (retained for Sugar Labs General Funds), divided by the
number of mentors for the project. For example, in a year with 6
slots and 10 mentors at $500, the total revenue is $3,000; 10%
for Conservancy is $300 and 5% for Sugar Labs is $150, leaving a
total of $2,550 or $255 per mentor.<br>
