Hi, Walter<br>
<br>
I hope Chris Leonard's report will include the present status of his
arrangements with the Conservancy (is he officially on board, has he
been paid his stipend for May or for June? I would also like the
report to include the present status of the Nigerian project. In
particular was the first milestone met (setup) and payment made?<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I've not heard directly from Chris, but I am assuming he'll give an update. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">

I hope that Adam or someone will be able to report on our financial
'month' with starting balance, revenue and expenses during the
period, and ending balance.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Me too. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">

My objections are:<br>
<br>
(1) The only method to implement a donation is to write a paper
check and send it to the Conservancy. There is an attempt to provide
a 'donate' option to the Sugar Labs website, but I believe it has
not been implemented.<br>
<br>
(2) Such a fund-raising activity should have a target amount. As far
as know this goal has not been set.<br>
<br>
(3) I have no problem requesting each member to make a donation in
an amount they can afford. However, I strongly object asking members
to identify themselves as not having the means to make a donation of
a specfied amount. A statement like 'In order to meet our financial
goal for the year, members should try to donate at least $50
although donations in any amount are welcome' would be acceptable.<br>
<br>
(4) We could identify donors of say $100 or more as sponsors or
partners or associates or sustaining members, There are many such
designations available.<br>
The 'prominent placement' and 'release codename' are not acceptable
without clarification. <br>
<br>
According to Dave Crossland, Caryl Bigenho wants the motion on the
Financial Manager to be on the agenda. Has she withdrawn her
propsoed motion.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I have heard nothing further from Caryl (or Adam, who was the one objecting to some of the reporting language in the version of the proposal we discussed last month). </div><div><br></div><div>There are a few other "motions" kicking around that I am trying to get a handle on before tomorrow.</div><div><br></div><div>regards.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
