Well, catch-22: for bursaries to be able to make decisions, they need an approved budget… at least this is how I know things to work. The alternative you are suggesting I'd describe as "raising the money once you know how much you want to spend." Both are valid approaches, but I'd only call one of them "budgeting" ;) If you are unable or not willing to allocate Debian resources to a budget (Debian doesn't have a cash flow, so I understand the difficulty in allocating money), then how about we just re-allocate funds from existing worst-case travel sponsorship to enable e.g. conf dinner, reducing travel sponsorship to 15k for now, and then Debian can ramp that up when bursaries know how much they need? -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[email protected]> @martinkrafft : :' : DebConf orga team `. `'` `- DebConf15: Heidelberg, Germany: http://debconf15.debconf.org DebConf16: Cape Town: https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf16
