Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Mentors money

I arrived to OSGeo on 2015, and first time mentor on that year, so I didnt know of past decisions. Sorry I asked. Vicky On Tue, Aug 29, 2017 at 2:18 AM, Anne Ghisla wrote: > Former admin here. > > When I became admin in 2012, mentors money was added to OSGeo incomes. > I

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Mentors money

Former admin here. When I became admin in 2012, mentors money was added to OSGeo incomes. I started a discussion with the Board and current mentors about it, and the agreed outcome was that the mentors' money should specifically be allocated for code sprint support. (See budgets from 2013

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Mentors money

Vicky, why are you saying that? Mentors money have been so far used as was agreed upon by mentors some years ago, that is, to donate them to osgeo. Any different proposal should be agreed upon by all active mentors serving the current year. I have proposed in two mailing lists to come up with a

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Mentors money

Jody, it was never an option to choose if donating the money or not. Someone decided on the past and this option was never asked to mentors... I assumed this was part of the game: get one slot by OSGeo and it retains the mentor's money... But to me make sense to let project use them for their

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Mentors money

Trying to hunt through my email, it has been a long time since I did GSOC. I think it was $500 to OSGeo for each project mentored (really not sure if that is still the case). -- Jody Garnett On 28 August 2017 at 18:45, Stephen Woodbridge wrote: > Really, that is news

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Mentors money

Really, that is news to me. I never knew we had that option. I think we would have liked to fund some additional development for the project or defrayed travel expenses for PSC members to go to conferences to present papers on behalf of the project. What is the process for mentors to get the

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Mentors money

Mentors can decide what to do with the money they earn through the GSOC program; in the past many mentors have accepted the t-shirt and donated the money to OSGeo. I know I donated money to OSGeo previously, but was not really specific about to any particular project. -- Jody Garnett On 28

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Mentors money

I think at the least we might want to consider giving that money or some of it back to the project that did the mentoring and let them decide how to use it with some guidelines on use. OSGeo as the sponsoring organization should probably get some of it to defray effort of organizing. Just my

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Mentors money

So, then if I undertand correctly: Mentors money is not mentors money. Right? Vicky On Sat, Aug 26, 2017 at 2:03 PM, Jody Garnett wrote: > We are listing GSOC as a initiative, can the participating mentors make a > decision? > > I have suggestions (such as a donate to

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Mentors money

We are listing GSOC as a initiative, can the participating mentors make a decision? I have suggestions (such as a donate to the travel grant program for student travel) but it should be up to the participants. On Sat, Aug 26, 2017 at 10:11 AM Massimiliano Cannata < massimiliano.cann...@supsi.ch>

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Mentors money

Vicky, all, The mentor mailing list is private because the discussion about students evaluations happens there, and I'm surprised that you don't know the reason why it should be private. Anyhow, I suggested that you bring public this discussion because this is something that must be completely

Dear Vicky, Before going into your question; decisions to spend money on codesprints or student conference attendance has not been part of the Marketing Committee remit. Perhaps the Board can decide on the what/where/how of this type of support? Kind regards, Marc Vloemans > Op 26 aug. 2017
