That is what I thought, and why I asked. Of course, the way
to keep balances separate is to put them is separate accounts.
I agree with the goal here, but...
My efforts at tracking DebConf money have not gone so well. This is
in part caused by me not ever having access to look at accounts, and
not being (on site|in charge of money) once DebConf starts. Other
people have had more success than me.
Thus, I encourage you all to think about how the DebConf share of
Debian money will be tracked. My first reaction is "I don't want to
be the one doing it". I was going to try to make better money
management my goal this year, but if the safest tool for it is taken
away, I'm not sure if I want to be the one attempting this anymore.
There is plenty else that could be said, such as "well, if you were
actually able to see DebConf accounts, you wouldn't find things so
hard", but that can come if anyone is interested in talking about it.
I'm fine with zack spending DebConf money in an emergency, I'm fine
merging accounts as long as I'm not the one in charge of tracking
things, and maybe I'd be fine trying to track things if we found a way
to do it better.
How do you all imagine the DebConf/Debian money separation would work
if accounts are merged?
