After discussions with Felipe Augusto van de Wiel (faw) some months ago, I believe that moving money for free software projects in/out of Brazil is rather awkward. There is Associação SoftwareLivre.org which is a non-profit civil association which helped debian for debconf 4.
So, an ASL-SPI partnership similar to the ffis-SPI one in theory seems a good idea to me. I ask the next board meeting to state what the requirements and process are for new SPI partnerships, whether they are interested in partners in any particular countries and to contact faw about an ASL-SPI partnership (address in headers). About debconf 4: what has happened to the US$ 19k+ invested from http://debconf4.debconf.org/final-report.html#FINANCIAL-SUMMARY ? I don't remember seeing it on any SPI treasurer reports. I cc the secretary on this request so that it should be included in his report to the next meeting, any road up. Regards, -- MJ Ray - see/vidu http://mjr.towers.org.uk/email.html Somerset, England.
