Re: [Debconf-team] money stuff

[Holger Levsen <holger@layer-acht.org>]

Hi Richard,

thanks (once again) for tracking money so well and reminding us, to do the 
same. Much appreciated! 

(Even though sometimes we (or myself) didnt convey this appreciation well, due 
to bad timing which you cannot foreseen when writing things up off-site.)

I agree, except that debconf-team cannot approve money. We can agree we should 
spend the money, yes. (And those formally approving should listen to team, 
yes.)

More $details to be resolved in this money meeting. 

I also have plans for creating MoneyFlow, LegalEntity and FoodTicketSystem 
manual pages in the wiki. Help welcome.


cheers,
