Hi there,
Yes, we put $500K in the Community gifts goal from the Chapters. I too
had no idea that Chapters would be looking to see this spelled out in
the plan so that is interesting information.
Yes, the earned income does represent revenue from trademark deals.

Veronique, thank you for publishing the plan, and for your work on it.

I welcome many members of the Wikimedia staff joining us in Gdansk but

You are a VIP who does not need to hide in any environment. I will be happy

I hereby find this grossly insulting.
Not spending time with Gerard does not mean that someone is hiding from
everyone else.

I hope you mean Vox rather than Fox. I don't think Fox currently has

Hoi,
When we raise money, we have a choice; either we spend the money and we
communicate what we plan to do or we build reserves for a rainy day. In the
Netherlands there are several charities that find it much harder to raise

approach big spenders or make money by business partnerships. This is
a statement not only about our history and our future, and also about
our character as movement.
