I completely agree with Italo that we should reach out to those whom we see regularly on any of the project's volunteer teams and see if we could not assist them in becoming members and, in so doing, build more of a loyal family of members. Most people think a member has to put out hours of work per week to become a member or maintain one's membership. We should do more reaching out internally and promote internally.

Hi Thorsten, First off, thanks for doing this. It is much appreciated and the reports are quite well done. A few questions if you would not mind: Profit and Loss Report In the Revenues section Are we getting any monthly interest income coming from our contingency plan money that was set aside? If so, should this not also be reflected in the monthly revenues or is any profit reported on the annual report? Are we getting any interest profit at all? In the Expenses section Some explanations if you could re: Office supplies ... why are there no office supplies costs? Have we not made use of paper/pencils/pens/staples ...? Telephone costs ... how are these incurred? Do we have a telephone account with a company or are these cost submissions from members? Tax consultation fees ... Is this a one time cost or is this a monthly costs that will appear each month? Payroll provider ... Is this to manage the one salaried employee? Or is the payroll provider also providing other services to the TDF? Bank surcharchages ... are there no monthly bank charges? If not, is this due to the amount kept in our accounts? Insurance costs ... are there no monthly insurance costs (for example on our infrastructure/servers, hardware etc. or are these paid in one sum at the start of the insurance terms? In the Budget Summary 2013-03-31 Is there a location on our pages where we can see a complete breakdown of the budget items on the report? If we are publishing these as budget items, then we should also be publishing a page location with a complete breakdown of all of the stated costs for the membership to see. If we do have such pages, I would suggest that the location be reported on the Budget summary for the purposes of clarity and oversight.

Cheers, Marc Le 2013-01-14 10:59, Florian Effenberger a écrit : Hello, between Christmas and New Year, I have been working on the budget for 2013. The good news is that since our fundraising campaign in October, we have received approximately 60.000 € (!) in donations, which is just amazing, and the average donation rate per month shifted from 2.500 € to about 10.000-15.000 €. Congratulations to everyone involved, you all can be very proud of that! A few comments to this very first draft of the budget, that we would like to refine together with you. - All counters are reset to zero, which is why at a first glance, the available money looks less than last year. In the December budget, only one monthly rate for our infrastructure was left, while for 2013, full 12 months are planned in. - The item of domain names was previously left uncounted, but I calculated our annual fees yesterday, and added that value. - This budget only plans in the TDF Berlin account money, not the donations SPI collected for the LibreOffice project. The most recent SPI treasurer's report I could find is linked in the header of the budget. - Travel fundings usually occur via SPI, not via the TDF Berlin account, which is why we did not plan them in as fixed item in this budget. - The safety reserve is based on my gut feeling. It might make sense to top that up to 20.000 € to be prepared for unexpected spendings, but for the moment, I'd like to leave it at 15.000 €. - This budget does not yet foresee any reserves for 2014, which we should collect already early on, since nobody knows how the donation flow will continue. - The budget can always only factor in the amount we definitely do have. For planning of long-term projects, it might make sense to have a prospective budget soon, to know what - given the donation flow stays as it currently is - we have available in e.g. June. However, keep in mind that budgets can never ever be on prospective amounts, but must fit to what we definitely have available for spending. - The values outside the yellow frame are planned in and/or booked already, and the budget requests we have received so far are in the yellow, framed box. The latter are the items we need to plan and discuss about. To give a better overview, I have uploaded the current budget draft to our wiki at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Tdfbudget2013.pdf Any feedback welcome, and thanks a lot to everyone for their contributions!

Le 2013-01-11 08:37, Florian Effenberger a écrit : 7. Forums: the board discusses about the forums, if they are a duplication of efforts with reference to Ask, or if TDF should launch the forums. The problem is that there are only a few moderators, although the situation is still in progress. Regarding this particular item. Here is the information missing in your discussion of this topic: The search for moderators is ongoing, however all forums, except for 2, already have assigned moderators ready for the unveiling of the LibreOffice Forums[1]. If these two are not filled by opening day, the coordinators will assume a moderator function until moderators are found. The search for additional moderators will continue after the opening of the forums and as sections get busier or when necessity for additional forums moderators require. At this point, the moderating function is only that of an administrative function and not that of providing answers to posts. The role of the moderator is defined on our wiki page[2]. The coordinators at the start will play a large role in moderating the forums, we are 5. However we expect more people to join as moderators once the forums is open. Even if were were to not gain any more moderators, at this point all topics will be covered. As the forums are filled with additional moderators, the coordinators, who may be acting as moderators, will cede their place to these new moderators. Are the forums a duplication of Ask? IMO, they are not. When Ask was started, the opinion at that time was not to start the forums to try to get the community to get used to the new system. However, one of the on-going complaints of users is the lack of a traditional forums for the project, this, still after having Ask at work for some time. Whereas Ask may be great at building a bank of answers, Forums has the same ability, however, we (the members of the TDF/LibreOffice) have the opportunity to instill a feeling of a greater LibreOffice community through personal contact with our forums users and working this into a continued plan of LibreOffice community growth. As well, right from the start, we (the coordinators) have viewed the Forums as a catalyst to bringing in our committed users into the contributor fold. The forums is a great place for the initial contact/invite of users to our contributor lists. As we are all aware, we are in dire need of more contributors. Strategically speaking, Ask does not provide our project any kind of opportunity for community growth, nor does it provide any opportunity for contributor growth. Most internet users are familiar to working on Forums and I expect we will hear a concerted sigh of relief from users at the unveiling of the LibreOffice Forums.

Solid piece of Linux accounting software and the devs are very accommodating -- they will literally create a binary package for your Linux distro if it isn't available on their site. Don't be fooled by their cheesy looking site, their devs are serious about accounting and listen closely to their user feedback comments. I took a look at Concardis ... no EN version on their site. Does it offer service in EN? I am not in the loop, is it being used with TDF/LibreOffice transactions? Finally, is the accounting package being used by the TDF a German based package and the file output posted on our mailing lists are a translation of these files? Would it be possible for us to know the name of the accounting package? See above. Also, again IIRC you yourself were instrumental in getting this translation going.
