[opensuse-summit] openSUSE Asia Finance handling
Hi All, Firstly apologies this email probably goes to a bunch of extra people but i'm not sure of the correct address to reach the organising committee for the next asia summit. As part of our due diligence, the board was wondering how you are handling money for the conference next year? Are you using the bank account from a local related not for profit organisation? or are you getting sponsors to pay for items directly? Or do you have another arrangement? If you are going well getting sponsorship to the point where you would need less of SUSE's money to actually run the conference the board is happy to ask SUSE to allocate more of its sponsorship to conference travel support rather then directly for the conference. IE if you only needed $3000 from SUSE for running the conference we could ask SUSE to allocate an extra $2000 to travel support for the conference. For Tokyo we ended up allocating the full $10,000 to TSP because other sponsorship covered the full cost of the conference. We can't guarantee that this can happen again but its certainly something we can look at. Thanks Simon (on behalf of the board). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-summit+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-summit+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Simon, Board member, First of all, thanks for your email. We don't have any "official account" in Indonesia, we don't have a foundation nor SUSE in Indonesia. What we had done in 2016, when we held openSUSE.Asia Summit 2016 is we used personal account from one of our community trusted member. We used that account to receive any donation/sponsorship. I believe for 2019 it will be the same way. I have discussion with the local committee today, and they decide that put it 50% for TSP allocation and 50% for Summit organizing committee would be the best, at least for the time being. During fundraising period if the committee believes they can cover all costs through fundraising they will inform Board, and at that time Board can allocate all the money for TSP. Is it possible? Best Regards, -- M. Edwin Zakaria (on behalf of openSUSE.Asia Summit 2019 local committee) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-summit+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-summit+owner@opensuse.org

It maybe possible in the end it will be a decision for SUSE, when Richard is back from holidays we can find out how long we leave it before we make a decision.

Hi Edwin, I spoke to Roland Haidl today (SUSE's Engineering Director responsible for sponsoring openSUSE Asia) He would be happy for 50% of SUSE's sponsorship of openSUSE Asia to instead be used for the TSP instead of the conference as originally planned Andrew, Doug, can you please coordinate with each other to make sure this is the case?

Sure thing. Andrew and I discussed it and both of us talked with Sunny this week. It will work. This will leave 5k for the actual conference/venue and 10k for travel (TSP). v/r Doug

Hi Richard, Doug, Thanks for taking care of this. Really appreciated. As I mentioned in the previous email, if local committee can manage to get sponsors to run the conference we can put all openSUSE budget for the TSP. We will let you know when that condition achieves. Best, -- Edwin On Sat, Apr 6, 2019 at 4:43 AM Douglas DeMaio <ddemaio@suse.com> wrote:
