Jeru Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Thanks for the wonderful write-up, @Itms ! You definitely make a compelling case for attending FOSDEM this year and in the future. I just wish to verify that you have receipts for everything. SPI will not reimburse you otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeru Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 In previous events where all the travel was within Europe, the treasury committee has given sums of about EUR 150 per participant, plus about EUR 100 for promotional materials. This request for EUR 462.80 is well in line with this rough rule of thumb, given the large number of 0 A.D. delegates at FOSDEM this year, which stands at five. I also think our fiscal situation allows for this "ad hoc" expense. We have about USD 28,000, with about USD 1,000 spent every year on hosting. (In terms of Euros, those sums are equivalent to about EUR 23,000 and about EUR 800 respectively.) Until we do build a budget, I think we should reimburse the attendees. Therefore, I vote in favor of this proposal. @feneur @MishFTW 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feneur Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Agreed Seems like we got value for the money (especially since it gave several developers a chance to meet in real life, something which hopefully should further encourage friendship and team spirit and in turn lead to more work on the project). 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeru Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Although Erik and I are in favor, I will still tag @MishFTW one more time. --- In the mean time, I am attaching a link to SPI's reimbursement request form: http://www.spi-inc.org/treasurer/SPI_reimbursement_request.pdf Unfortunately there is a USD 22 charge for outgoing wire transfers charged by SPI's international payment system, so it is best to minimize the number of transfers. I suggest we reimburse one participant for the FOSDEM expenses and that person would then transmit the money to the other participants with their respective shares. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MishFTW Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Apologies everyone, I am away on spring break right now. I consent to the reimbursement for this trip. I am glad we were able to represent 5 members! In general I am quite busy at University at the moment, so I think it would be best if someone else who is more active in the community and staff take my role on the Treasury Committee. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering I am the one getting most of the reimbursement, I propose myself. I pledge to transmit the money that goes to other people as soon as I receive it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
