Works for me and should work for EMEA. I cannot speak for the other
regions though. I have some concerns about LATAM, they get less than they
spent last year and due to bad tracking, this is already a subset of what
they actually spent.
> 1. We approve this top level allocation
> 2. Back to the regions, who will come up with quarterly splits
What's the timeframe for this?
Doing quarterly splits means looking up what events fall into that
quarter, look up how much budget was allocated for them, then talk to
event owners where they can make cuts and get all of this in line with the
total yearly budget. As this requires discussions among the event owners
and the regional communities, I expect this to take some time.
> Additionally, after each quarterly budget report (see
https://budget.fedoraproject.org/), any unspent funds will revert to the
council and be reallocated. (To be used for centralized projects like
FADs, or to cover special requests by the regions.)
-1. Unlike the global/council budget, the regions already need to make
cuts. If they can save money on event A in Q1, I see no reason why that
should not use this money to spend the saved money on event B in Q2. In
fact, they might only spend what that had initially planned, so I think
it's unfair to take this money from them.
