Hi Pine,
If the Foundation decides to move, the cost of making the space usable for
our staff is not a recoverable cost from the building owner.
At this point, WMF is not planning on moving out of the San Francisco
market area. We will be doing our best to manage cost when we renew our

Just noting that annual plans can go through APG or PEG, but the
qualificattions and scope are different. Some chapers choose to continue
with PEG funding becuase it is more flexible. The main limiter on PEG
funding is that it will not pay for full time permanent staff; however

Hi Luis (wow, I didn't expect to see you here at this hour!)
I was referring to the qualifications, benefits and limitations of the
different kinds of grant programs. The way that they're structured provides
some ups and downs for affiliates when we have the option to choose among
grant types.
Hey Pine,
The Advisory group to the FDC actually made that very proposal.
To have a body who would look At the grant system as a whole and not juste
At one of its part.
Not sure if that would ever be implemented sadly.

Hi Luis
A logistical non-starter! They've got 200+ staff members, any gains to
recruitment competitiveness will be quickly lost to the drain that losing

I know from experience that East St Louis is pretty cheap, and it's
centrally located. And the weather is almost as good as California, but
without the Hurricanes.
How do the WMF staff feel about moving to East St Louis? I imagine they
would be *thrilled*.

Glasgow to London in no way represents the scale of what any move,
even an in-US move, would be, unless the goal is for the WMF to end up
in LA or (maybe) Portland.
I would agree that a multi-location setup would work better as a good
expansion route here, although I'm not

My two cents would be that of what evil giant corporations do: move their
departments to the best place possible regarding costs/competition.

For example keeping the sofware somewhere in the Bay Area would keep the

I see that East St Louis also has a murder rate approaching that of say,
Bogota. This to me says vibrant.
On a more serious note, while SF is egregiously expensive, if you want to
attract good people, you have to base yourself where the action is.
