#58: Regional allocation for FY17 budget ---------------------+-------------------- Reporter: mattdm | Owner: Status: new | Priority: major Component: General | Resolution: Keywords: | ---------------------+-------------------- Comment (by tatica): > Replying to [comment:5 cwickert]: > 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. Lets please remember that LATAM member not always have an easy way to get reimbursements, and reimbursements usually take quite long. > That is true; LATAM definitely came out the lowest here by any measure. That's largely because their ''request'' was significantly lower than that from the other regions, which doesn't really seem like a good reason to penalize. Do you have a concrete alternate proposal? LATAM region has always been the last on budget; we have learn to make smaller budgets more adjusted to reality, yet, when larger Regions ask for more, they ended up taking it from the LATAM budget. Our budget keeps getting smaller and smaller, despite part of those funds aren't granted due the difficulty of transfer the funds to our Fedora members, more than just a '''I don't want to use it'''. Just imagine next year budget, when we end up using only 80% of our budget will look like just because we aren't '''the bigger spenders'''? Our main event is FUDcon, which take a lot of money since travel airfares are quite more expensive in our region than in any other else. Would there be a way to increase (at least) only the FUDcon budget? We usually take part of our Regional budget to cover FUDcon, and if each year the cuts keep coming, to me, it seems that budget for LATAM is meant to disappear in order to provide more budget to everyone else. Don't get me wrong, I understand that everyone is getting cuts, yet, seems that LATAM is getting always the worst. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/58#comment:11> council <https://fedorahosted.org/council> Fedora Council Public Tickets _______________________________________________ council-discuss mailing list council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The Fedora Project's mission is to lead the advancement of free and open source software and content as a collaborative community.
