## GSoC money
We have investigated how to use the GSoC money for the openSUSE.Asia Summit, but it is logistically not possible. The Board agreed to donate the money to KDE & GNOME, as suggested by the openSUSE GSoC org admins as alternative. AI: Richard discuss with Treasurer and answer the GSoC org admin responsible of the money by Friday
Hi Richard, all Board member
I'm Ary and this year i will help community as one of the local committee for openSUSE.Asia Summit (oSAS) 2019 in Bali. We just have start the bi-weekly meeting for the event with other Asian Community this week and I saw many interest from community to come to our event. Having said that, seems that we need additional budget for oSAS especially for TSP. I discuss with some people who involve in the local committee in the past and it looks like that if openSUSE can increased TSP budget it will be good for community.
Why GSoC budget cannot be allocated to openSUSE.Asia Summit so that we can increase the participation from people accross the Asia or other parts of the world? Is there any specific reason about that? We are part of openSUSE and logically the money is more appropriate if it is allocated for openSUSE activities than to be donated to other organization.
PS; I'm a GNOME user and of course love it :)
Unfortunately we can only do TSP out of SUSE's budget, and SUSE's budgets are set then frozen for the financial year so its not possible to take in new funds and add them to this years TSP or asia summit budgets. -- 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
