Community is already so fractured into separate mailing lists, that adding yet another one seems wrong. My preference would be for the board to discuss some decisions in private, as is their right as a board, and use different means to ensure that members are kept informed. On Mon, Sep 25, 2017

Ed and I would love to host Samson in LA for a couple of days between Google and Boston. Kayak is showing the one way ticket at $111 at the time he can fly (evening). We will get that ticket for him if the rest of his trip is approved. Caryl Sent from my iPhone On Sep 24, 2017, at 8:15 PM,

-1 for this motion. Participation to the GSoC Summit is already a privilege. It's fair that Samson as a mentor could have opportunity to attend to it. I don't see any advantage for SugarLabs on the Samson side trip, so there is no reason for SugarLabs to pay for it. Lionel. 2017-09-24
