Hello,
for tomorrow's BoD call, one action item is to approve the first
iteration of our 2013 budget. First iteration means that this will be
the budget we will work with for the next few months. Of course we can
adjust later on, but we should stick to the parameters.
Sadly, our credit card provider's interface is offline at the moment, so
I cannot extract the pending payments (which, from a gut feeling, must
be somewhere between 1.000 and 3.000 €). Anyways, here is the up-to-date
budget, including all requests:

Please file your wishes and requests no later than 24 hours from now on,
writing to board-discuss@documentfoundation.org, so it can be considered
for tomorrow's board call, taking place at 1600 UTC. Of course, you are
all welcome to join the call, since this is a public one. All details
are available at
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/TDF/BoD_Meetings
As to the budget itself, I am thinking of enhancing the reserve to
20.000 €. We are doing more, which raises the risk, so some safety
reserve can't harm. However, I'm undecided on that yet. For the infra
side, I will recalculate the request, just to be sure, and will also
proof-read other items.
If you spot any mistake in the budget, or have any concrete request,
please, again, file your wishes and requests no later than 24 hours from
now on, writing to board-discuss@documentfoundation.org, so it can be
considered for tomorrow's board call.
Thanks,
Florian
