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, in that case if GSoC budget is categorized as SUSE budget then why it is possible to re-allocate it to other organization? Or is there any specific treatment for that post?
The GSoC budget is not a SUSE Budget The GSoC money is a donation from Google to the openSUSE Project The way SUSE budgets are organised are like Simon described - funds are allocated in advance. SUSE sponsored initiatives like the TSP and openSUSE Asia have their money for the year, and doesn't change. Even if we redirected the money from Google to SUSE, that would become 'incoming money' for SUSE, and could not be used for a budget that was already set earlier. So in essence, openSUSE would 'lose' that money as SUSE has no practical way of making that money from Google to be available for openSUSE. But, Google have provisions for being able to redirect their GSoC donation to one open source projects, to other open source projects. Hence the idea in the minutes to do this, as it would be the most beneficial use of the money we can think of. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
