That page redirects to https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/Reimbursements for further information about payments and reimbursements, so a bit of feedback about that: The page talks about publicising the event after the fact, but it's also good to publicise before it happens. There's no mention of where the reimbursement contact comes from or how they appear on the event specific wiki page. > Thank you! > > Best, > Nuritzi > > [1] https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/Events > > . > > Nuritzi Sanchez | +1.650.218.7388 | Endless > > ___ > engagement-list mailing list > engagement-list@gnome.org > https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/engagement-list > ___ engagement-list mailing list engagement-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/engagement-list

Two more things I noticed: * There is no notion of timeframe. It would be good to set (reasonable) expectations without necessarily making them a hard requirement. * It says “Total budget requested in USD” but the board agreed that foundation members shouldn’t have to take the hit for fluctuations in conversion rates, and other currencies are supported by the tools we use for reimbursement. Therefore the approved amount should be in the currency preferred by the requester.
