It's Alive!
=======
After working for the past couple of weeks with the websites and infrastructure teams, I'm pleased to share with you all https://budget.stg.fedoraproject.org/
Thank you nb, robyduck, nirik, puiterwijk, and threebean for your patience and mentorship :)=======

The actual budget numbers for this year ARE NOT ACTUALLY ZERO, so don't panic or anything, they just haven't been reported yet ;) When they are, I will update the website accordingly.
Contributing to Budget.fp.o
=====================
If you would like to help work on the budget site itself (PR's are certainly welcome) please join #fedora-websites on Freenode and talk to the team there first. The team is transitioning where our repositories are hosted, and are making some changes to the fedora-web workflow (while branching for F24-alpha.) In the future, you should be able to clone the source for the budget site (and the other Fedora Websites) at https://pagure.io/fedora-websites. ***WARNING*** Since our production environment is built from the master branch, be sure to be working in an alternate branch (git branch budget, for example) Starting now, you can file tickets for the budget site on the Fedora-websites repo on pagure: https://pagure.io/fedora-websites

Budget Tracking -- Still a Regional Responsibility
======================================
I will be relying on ambassadors to be tracking your expenditures (like you always have) so I can be updating the budget numbers section on a quarterly basis, with reimbursements depending on event reports from regional delegates. I will help report your budgets on http://budget.fedoraproject.org (coming soon), but it is still up to the REGIONS to keep as budget is spent. The good news though, is that now you have The Community Operations (CommOps) team here to help support publishing event reports and gathering and reporting metrics.======================================
Budget Data and Files
=================
When there are working budget documents, data, and information fit for public consumption, I have created a new repo for sharing such files at: https://pagure.io/budget (it is mostly empty for now, but feel free to start putting your proposed budgets there if you have them Ambassadors.) There is in the plans (but not yet implemented) the idea that we can use webhooks or other git-magic to have the budget numbers and contacts on budget.fp.o update automatically based on the data in this repo, but that will likely be a feature for v2.0. For now, I'm OK with starting manually until we hammer out the details and settle on a process.
Regional Delegates
===============
===============
I would like to start adding all the Regional Delegate selections to our staging instance in preparation for the site hitting production in the next week or two, starting now. So, if your region has chosen delegates already, you can respond here with their names and email addresses, and I will add them to the site. Alternatively, you could also file tickets on the budget repo in pagure, (or file pull requests updating your regional delegation's .yaml file) and I will merge/close them as I update the site.
***The budget process is going to move quickly from here, so Ambassadors please have your delegation choices sent to me, filed into tickets, or included in a pull-request by Friday March 4th.***
Budget.next and The Future
======================
======================
I'm excited to help Ambassadors and Project Leadership bring more transparency to the budget process--one of my core charters as the first ever Fedora Community Lead. I am hopeful we can develop a process that will improve reimbursement turn-around, while creating metrics on action and impact we can use to strategically adjust and improve our financial situation in the future.
Looking Forward,
--RemyD.
P.S. - I've cc'd a number of public lists in this email, so take special care when replying to this post.
