I took a little bit of time and summarized the obvious Flavor related items in this document. $2919.79 - Kubuntu $600 - Gnome I do agree that moving forward that we need to have a more transparent process. Past practice can't be undone, but we can try to improve on things that are not working optimally. I want to emphasize that the CC did get an agreement with the Canonical that there are to be no changes to the sliders without consultation first. - Charles <div class="zmail_extra"><div id="1"> ---- On Thu, 21 May 2015 06:02:22 -0700 Paul Sladen<ubuntu@paul.sladen.org> wrote ---- </div><blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid #0000FF; padding-left: 6px; margin:0 0 0 5px">-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On Mon, 18 May 2015, Jono Bacon wrote: > constructive approach Indeed; I've been uncomfortable with Michael defending a situation where there is a lack of data.[1] Michael has done excellent work in preparing statements for the 'item_7' slider splits begining 5 April 2013[2]---after Jono left,[3] the community team took over collective responsibility[4]. The recurring discussion has been regarding donations in the previous finanical year: 9 October 2012[5]--4 April 2013[2]. The Paypal setup supplies an itemised order based on the sliders (including zero sliders) to the 'donations@ubuntu.com' account.[6] These allow summing the individual totals. I've tried to prod a couple of people, so hopefully the relevant breakdowns of the income can be retrieved and made available shortly to give some better idea of scale. Following that, I hope that the presentation of (some) hard data can focus any discussion to a constructive finality. -Paul PS. Don't expect a windfall though, for perspective: on my own guessimate, the six-month amounts likely wouldn't run the flavour build infrastructure and community team for more than perhaps a mere fortnight!
