I can't say I recognise your description as in 2021 alone I have 
onboarded over 130 volunteers and I'm not the only one doing this sort 
of thing.


I have to correct myself: in 2021 I have onboarded 58 volunteers and in 
2020 84 volunteers.

thanks Ilmari, i think it's great to have TDF staff onboarding volunteers :)

and have a look into 2019, the last year without pandemic restrictions:

- community (project)  --  15.029,94 €  (plan was 30,000.00 €)

- staff  --  467.624,28 €

The budget for the community was also before the pandemic restrictions
very low.

And there is a further issue. There seemed to be a problem to even
execute on this small budget.

Thus TDF has to evaluate the reasons for this poor execution and make
improvements (especially for the time after the corona pandemic). If TDF
will dodge on this topic, there will be from my opinion no valid reason
to complain about a 'shortage' of volunteers in the LibreOffice project.

Regards,
Andreas

We are in a pandemic.

The budget is based on the local communities which send out budget wishes.

As most conferences and thus the booths are not taking place very likely 
in 2021 (or already canceled), many communities didn't send any or at 
least a very small budget wish. This is totally ok for the moment. Same 
goes for the travel expenses which is naturally not taking place at the 
moment.


For example, the German community did only send a minimum wish. There 
are no meetings in 2021 at the Linux Hotel in Essen nor meetings in 
Hamburg or Berlin nor any real life conference (Rhein Ruhr, et all are 
all canceled, postponed or virtualized). You know the situation very 
well in German and Europe. How should the German community request money 
and especially for what?

Andreas

If you look into the publicly available ledger on the TDF wiki, you'll
see an increase of the expenses for TDF staff from:

2015 - 276.084,38 €

to

2021 (planed) - 647.787,78 €

More than twice of the expenses after only 6 years.

There should be a notable boost in the outcome in several areas of TDF's
activities, which justify such an increase of the expenses, payed from
donation money.

Andreas
