To clarify, I had negotiated a contract with Sugar Labs / SFC for a monthly stipend to support the Translation Manager position. I did NOT submit a single invoice for that work (which I have been doing) and allowed the contract to lapse. I have not received a dime from Sugar Labs funds in in the 10 years I have been volunteering and I have come to regret that I opened the door to the current effort to drain those funds into members pockets. I believe the funds (the majority of which come from the TripAdvisor grant obtained by Walter) should go to their intended purpose, supporting TurtleArt promotion and internationalization and localization efforts. I understand that for legal reasons the funds are officially considered fungible and in a general pool, but I believe we should honor the original intent of the donor. cjl I now regret having opened the door to paid efforts _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
