Summary: LinuxTag DVD funding - 250pc. Requesters: Alex Legler (a3li) Deadline (mandatory): Day Month Year. Request must be 6 weeks in advance. 2012/05/22 Priority: Urgent, High, Medium or Low (select one) High Amount requested: Submitted in your local currency. 336.18 € Funding disbursement: Will the foundation directly purchase the items, or must the funds be given to a requester? If they must be given to a requester, state why. Preferred method: Gentoo e.V. pays the manufacturer and is reimbursed by the Foundation via SWIFT/BIC international bank transfer to its German account. This avoids delays paying the manufacturer caused by the international transfer.

(In reply to comment #1) > Added to the May Trustee meeting agenda; > http://www.gentoo.org/foundation/en/minutes/2012/201205_trustees_agenda.xml May 20th would probably too late for a decision. I assume they will take more than 3 days to make and ship them. Maybe Alex remembers how long they took last time?
If the funding is needed before the meeting I vote yes.
i vote yes
Yes for me. However, longer-term, is there anything we can do to reduce the cost of DVDs? 1.3 € per DVD seems a bit steep. Maybe with VAT/etc in Europe that is just the cost of doing business.
Sorry for the fuss, but we've decided to not offer DVDs as we don't think the current version is good advertisement for the project.
finance-audit: confirmed nil impact.
