by Daniel Cox 24 Nov '17

24 Nov '17

The guys at foss-north got back to me and it seems they're happy to indulge us. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Hi Daniel, Thanks for reaching out to me. I've discussed this with Henrik Sandklef a couple of years ago and we would be happy to have you as a part of the event. We are in the very early planning stages right now, but the tentative date is to have it on April 23, with the option of doing something community focused on the 22nd. I'll keep you in the loop when we start detailing our planning, which will happen during the coming few weeks. Best regards, Johan

[Fsfe-nordic] [jonas@fsfe.org: Budget 2018]
by Jonas Oberg 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

Hi everyone, I've created our first budget here: https://wiki.fsfe.org/Teams/Nordic/Budget/2018 Which includes right now the costs for NFSA and for attending foss-north, which may or may not be related. Foss-north is something I'm personally keen on, should Johan Thelin organise it again. But I know we've mentioned more events in the nordic countries, so feel free to make sugestions. The events which we could ask for funding to attend are those where we either want to setup a booth (information stand about FSFE activities), or where we give a talk or presentation about FSFE in some way. Just attending an event doesn't count :) Best regards, Jonas ----- Forwarded message from Jonas Oberg <jonas(a)fsfe.org> ----- Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2017 13:36:38 -0500 From: Jonas Oberg <jonas(a)fsfe.org> To: coordinators(a)lists.fefe.org Subject: Budget 2018 User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.24 (2015-08-30) Hi everyone, following up from Erik's mail about the potential to get costs covered for rents for local meetings, I would also like to invite you to start thinking about our budget for 2018. To be fair: you've never received a message like this before, so I do hope you'll stay with me, and I'll work with you through this process. The reason to include you in this is simple: you're FSFEs ears, eyes and mouth in your area and the needs you have: for participating at events, organising conferences, booths, and so on, should be reflected in our annual budget. So we know what to expect, and so you know what you can count on. The budget which the members will ultimately decide on includes a lot of different cost items. We typically do not include information about individual events, in the budget. It would make it too detailed and complicated. But we need an understanding of what we can expect our costs to be in the year to base the overall budget on that and take at least some of the guesswork out of it. This is where you come in. I would like each of you to, for your groups, think about the events and other activities you have in mind for 2018 and fill in a budget form on the wiki for this. The budget form should be on the URL: https://wiki.fsfe.org/LocalGroups/<group name>/Budget/2018 For example: https://wiki.fsfe.org/Teams/Nordic/Budget/2018 (ignore the fact this is probably misfiled under Teams/ to start with) If you visit such an URL, where there's no page at the moment, you'll be invited to create one. Please use the Template/Budget template, and you'll get a form for this exact purpose. On the same page, you can, if you want, also signal if you need other help in your activities, which can't be measured in amounts of Euros. Perhaps you need the FSFE staff to help out with an activity, or you need help from a designer to create something? Try to include those items too, even if you don't specify an amount for them. Do let me know when you've put together something for your group so I can have a look, but also do reach out and ask questions if you need. To be clear: - Putting requests in does not mean they are approved :-) We'll do our best to accommodate, but we'll file separate expense requests for each item approved later on. - Do try to include all events your group is participating in. The only exceptions are larger international events, like FOSDEM, which aren't organised by any indiviudal local group. - We're only asking this of local groups right now. We may extend the same invitation to thematic groups in coming years, once we get used to this. - Do make a link from your group page on the wiki to the budget form, so it's easy to find :) - Do try if possible to complete the forms by the end of November, so we can spend December reviewing and revising :) Best regards, -- Jonas Öberg Executive Director FSFE e.V. - keeping the power of technology in your hands. Your support enables our work, please join us today http://fsfe.org/join ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Jonas Öberg Executive Director FSFE e.V. - keeping the power of technology in your hands.
