A majority vote of the current board members is required for approving this budget.
Proposal:
1. Allocate budget for FY2017 (03/2017 - 03/2018) following the 2015 and 2016 budgets, including allocations to funding pools for an OSUOSL grant, hackfest sponsorships, and development funding as before.
2. Add a new funding pool for marketing activities by the Vectors Team, and allocate $100 to the bucket for FY2017.
3. Add a new funding pool for Google Summer of Code student travel. This will be used as pass-thru to students in support of their travel costs to Inkscape+GSoC related events, as per Google policies.
Funding Pool Balance Income Allocation Expenses Total Pool ------------ ------- ------ ---------- -------- ---------- + Hackfests $11,946 $263 +$5000 -$1487 $15,722 + SVG WG $1635 $375 +$0 -$0 $2010 + GSoC Travel $0 + Vectors +$100 $100 + Projects $2250 +$2250 $4500
[ ] a. Yes, adopt budget as described above [ ] b. Revise budget with the following changes recommended: _____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ [ ] c. Do not establish a budget for 2017
Background:
At the end of FY2016 our total assets had risen approximately $5k to $41,645. So far, FY2017 is seeing a larger increase due to increased sponsorships. Still, our expenses so far this year have been modest, and there is no pressing need for a budget much different from last year's.
Our last hackfest was managed efficiently and came in well under budget, however we will again allocate $5,000 from the general fund to hackfest expenses so that we grow the hackfest funding pool so that it might support multiple hackfests in a given year, or allow for larger hackfests.
The new Vectors team is seeking to increase Inkscape awareness on a range of fronts. Marketing collateral (stickers, bookmarks, flyers, etc.) may assist their work, so this year a funding pool is established and seeded with a modest amount. For now the board will continue to review and approve expenditures as normal.
Google provides funding for travel expenses of students. We may need to work out how to utilize these funds, but for now the budget establishes a pool in case we need to track the monies within the Inkscape project's own finances.

Certainly seems reasonable, conference attendance has come up in the past and so would make sense to have as its own line item, rather than just handle one-off from the general pool. I will roll a new referendum with that added, and seed it with $1000 to pick a round number. We can work out details separately.
We can always vote to make adjustments to the budget later this FY, so if for instance we wish to send a bunch of people to FOSDEM we can vote to move more funds into the pool as needed.
It'll make sense to revisit this for the FY2018 budget, which I'm *hoping* to get tackle before the end of the year (before the events you've listed), so if we want to augment funding levels that would be a good opportunity to do so.

Marketing collateral (stickers, bookmarks, flyers, etc.) may assist their work, so this year a funding pool is established and seeded with a modest amount. For now the board will continue to review and approve expenditures as normal.
Google provides funding for travel expenses of students. We may need to work out how to utilize these funds, but for now the budget establishes a pool in case we need to track the monies within the Inkscape project's own finances.

A majority vote of the current board members is required for approving this budget.
Proposal:
1. Allocate budget for FY2017 (03/2017 - 03/2018) following the 2015 and 2016 budgets, including allocations to funding pools for an OSUOSL grant, hackfest sponsorships, and development funding as before.
2. Add a new funding pool for marketing activities by the Vectors Team, and allocate $100 to the pool this FY.
3. Add a new funding pool for Google Summer of Code student travel. This will be used as pass-thru to students in support of their travel costs to Inkscape+GSoC related events, as per Google policies.
4. Add a new funding pool for conference attendance, and allocate $1000 to the pool this FY.

Background:
At the end of FY2016 our total assets had risen approximately $5k to $41,645. So far, FY2017 is seeing a larger increase due to increased sponsorships. Still, our expenses so far this year have been modest, and there is no pressing need for a budget much different from last year's.
Our last hackfest was managed efficiently and came in well under budget, however we will again allocate $5,000 from the general fund to hackfest expenses so that we grow the hackfest funding pool so that it might support multiple hackfests in a given year, or allow for larger hackfests.
The new Vectors team is seeking to increase Inkscape awareness on a range of fronts.
