Not sure exactly what bearing this email still has. As far as I understand it, this affected the policy of the DPL at the time based on current circumstances. It was not coded into any policy or in any procedures. However, since some feel that the above is still in affect, let me take this opportunity to state that any implications that the above email had on reimbursement policy no longer has any effect whatsoever. Having said that, I actually agree with Sam that we need better policies around this. Moray and myself are looking at rebooting a local team support/help/bootstrapping/admin/etc group, which may well be a delegation, and on top of that, might also take on some responsibilities for local team budgets and approving certain kinds of expenditures (like BSPs). If you're interested in helping shape that, and especially if you're active in a local team already, then please join our BoF session at DebConf20: https://debconf20.debconf.org/talks/50-local-teams/ - -Jonathan, Debian Project Leader - -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Jonathan Carter (highvoltage) <jcc> ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ https://wiki.debian.org/highvoltage ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋ https://debian.org | https://jonathancarter.org ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ Debian, the universal operating system. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEExyA8CpIGcL+U8AuxsB0acqyNyaEFAl81Z60ACgkQsB0acqyN yaHG0xAAvkhXBaSOMZ3U4ztkS5Pk84TtOH7lAjvf8CDKvPx7AS64e7668aWCHA5o uEXW37adRDuHulQqW1rCMe1coGzRuIE2JQHwnGPno+5HlR4uL/x58sgnTwDmLCr4 YKS+A3e11gWBWbKcpsBrWBLpDa0zlluzNZL76JhIZOo0xxBD80g0xo/OgeogDwul sb4OKM0oAJJ3n8Dk7YyR7Ulpo+kDnKvY2MyB6prmum4tKPXdfhnsf8giSAxg6qK5 px6pppfvRLflLsOxjG4klJ1AMTvjaxtXbfnY4g3m0oMREY4oy0ttasrRm0mqKKYy SQ/hhVE5Og1QaMIB3U6DROsQ6i8kCk2UedJNb7pFulD8TvWksx6wLileSIumqf4E p/h5RU2xP9aZkmbBkehjLWyfyAr+az2/RvWDSucdTQcF7pViaDh8cwF1G4m2hrZn cjoNWDiYMTkiCY0aP+4DkMw7+A0qvNkOoaOuL13HcBTOA4BbHuacPOslVfa9guI6 EeGHjmBicQeytTUHBcCyhoizIBY7fcbx78YX0oC8NMSd2AI7F3PlGyNrBzvVTrd5 DqfBIx9LykAhrLz6QQCJdymE+Tx7LbiK81/usPXTJ+IremdL0VrjLF865C02s4Vu eSBRXkYHYtBQDpzMDK3kumFW2nPP63w60lNOKT+NzV3h1dRzX90= =SPfh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
