This is a funding request for promotional materials for India's largest open-source event.
Created attachment 70864 [details] gentoo-foss.in-2005-funds-request.asc
just to be clear, I'm co-signing this request -- the impact on interest conflicts and whether I can vote for this or not I leave to my esteemed co-trustees.
I'm fine with this.
This is exactly what Gentoo funds are for, as far as I'm concerned. I vote yes.
I'm all for it.
Aye
yes from me as well. Also, I have the literature to send (and some extra stickers IIRC). -C
Aye as well
Aye from me
Sounds good to me. I'm for supporting this event.
I'll follow suit and accept this too. I hope the Foundation gets some sort of proof that the financials are used for the items discussed
According to the proposal, the foundation will directly be paying for everything. It would be nice to be reassured that this is still the case.
I'd actually prefer if the foundation pays for everything. Logistically it seems that a trustee would order those things requested (payable to the foundation) and ship them to my house. Shyam will have details on whether my flight will bring me into B'lore on time. As for the shipping cost from corey's house to my house -- I'm sure Corey can get a receipt from the shipper?
Shyam informs me that my expected arrival date is the morning of the 28th.
Reading back it looks like from the get-go the proposal was to have the foundation purchase things directly, instead of reimbursing anyone anyway -- so I'm not sure where the reassurance bit comes from?
Well, this bug was filed on the 17th of October (1 day and 1 month ago), but the promo materials are not complete. WE will not have posters or the t-shirts and mug. Is there any possibility that the trustees will approve someone from the foundation ordering the t-shirt and mug from cafepress and having them ship the stuff to my house or work via overnight delivery or 2nd day air? I leave Boston Tuesday and will make a short visit back in Boston on Saturday to fly on to India.
To ship all those items to my house via overnight from Cafe Press, it actually falls under the propsed budget at: 128.46: Items $85.96 Shipping/Handling $42.50 White T-Shirt with front and back logo (officialgentoo) Size: Large Product #: 22574235 In Stock, will ship in 2 business days $18.99 $18.99 Remove Rather be compiling T-shirt (officialgentoo) Size: Medium Product #: 24097348 In Stock, will ship in 2 business days $18.99 $18.99 Remove Gentoo Buttons (10 pack) (officialgentoo) Product #: 22573759 In Stock, will ship in 2 business days $12.00 $12.00 Remove Large Gentoo Mug (officialgentoo) Product #: 22573762 In Stock, will ship in 2 business days $14.39 $14.39 Remove Large Gentoo Poster (officialgentoo) Product #: 22573761 In Stock, will ship in 2-3 business days (shipped separately) $21.59 $21.59
this was over a long time ago.
seemant: I'm auditing our financial history, and I don't find any history of this in the paypal account. was it possible you were cut a cheque from NetBank, or one of the trustees at the time directly paid from the NetBank account?
Lacking any solid records, I have estimated this expense at $128.46, taking place on 2005/11/18 (FY2006). This excludes any other discounts or costs, but does include the shipping amount from seemant's comment.
