Subj : McQueen: Update from the GNOME board To : All From : LWN.net Date : Mon Apr 29 2024 14:30:05 McQueen: Update from the GNOME board Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2024 13:17:44 +0000 Description: Robert McQueen has posted a message from the GNOME Foundation board describing the current financial situation, plans to improve it, and an increase in the size of the board. The Foundation has a reserves policy which specifies a minimum amount of money we have to keep in our accounts. This is so that if there is a significant interruption to our usual income, we can preserve our core operations while we work on new funding sources. We've now "hit the buffers" of this reserves policy, meaning the Board can't approve any more deficit budgets to keep spending at the same level we must increase our income. ====================================================================== Link to news story: https://lwn.net/Articles/971436/ --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet UK HUB @ hub.uk.erb.pw (1337:1/100) .
