If we were independently, we would be able to use the money for such cases such as the openSUSE Asia Summit. The donation for GNOME and KDE has been a compromise. I am looking forward to the decisions of our new openSUSE Board.
This is only a problem is SUSE gets the money (because of the reasons Richard mentioned already). But in this case, the GSoC money is in the Payoneer account of one of our GSoC admins, which means that we can send the money wherever we want.
You do realize redirecting funds like this is not most probably legal even for non-profit organizations right?
Given the board couldn't direct funds through SUSE to openSUSE to be as safe as possible we wanted to make sure that the funds end up with a registered not for profit organisation, given that the donations were originally intended for "Mentoring" even if google said we can use them for whatever Gnome and KDE seemed like a good choice as they are registered not for profits do work with mentoring and a large number of openSUSE users end up using there software somewhere. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
