For the budget allocated for travel, would it be a lower bugdet if interns are less sponsorized? or sponsorized to go to a nearer conference? > GNOME put $10000 towards interns in the 2013 financial year and $5000 > in the 2014 financial year.

It seems that many Gnomers find OPW worthwhile, I don't question that (or many don't want to speak up because it's a touchy subject, or many don't have a strong opinion). Google is one of the biggest companies, and doesn't care about spending a few millions for the GSoC for having a good image wrt open source community (yes I know, [citation needed]). But for the Gnome Foundation, is it the same? By spending $15k, do the Foundation sacrify on other areas? -- Sébastien _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
