I have a few financial logistics questions for the Git community. I had a few people ask me earlier about travel assistance. I don't know how much room there is in GitHub's budget for this[1]. I'll look into getting money there, but we may also want to spend Git project funds for this. Does anybody have opinions on the logistics? I'm generally in favor of transparency when it comes to handling project affairs, but my inclination is to keep travel assistance requests and rewards off the list to protect people's privacy. So the simplest scheme is probably something like: 1. I'll collect names of people who are interested in assistance. 2. I'll present the list to the Git committee of Junio, Shawn, and myself. We'll come up with a proposal for who we can fund and how much. 3. We'll send the amount (but not the names) to the list for comment. 4. Barring objections, we'll tell Conservancy to authorized the money. I'm open to comments on the process as a whole, or guidelines for us to use in step 2. It's the project's money, so I'd like to give as much opportunity as possible for people to have a say in how it's spent. -Peff [1] There is a conference fee for the "main" day, which I think will be $99/person, but the plan is for all proceeds to go to the Software Freedom Conservancy. The dev summit is free. I can look into waivers for individual git contributors, but I'd prefer to avoid doing a blanket waiver. For those folks whose employers will send them to a conference, I think it's nice for that money to go to Conservancy.
