Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Funds available for marketing LibreOffice

Hi :)
I thought the plan was to have "local teams", such as the Brazilian, or the French or wherever, all 
administering their own finances and then giving maybe a flat rate as "Affiliation fees" or some 
such and then maybe a percentage too.  

My personal feeling is that Local teams need to work towards being self-sufficient and it would be 
great if they can cover their own sundry costs without always having to discuss minutia and waiting 
for TDF's BoD to approve a sundry expense.  I don't see any problem with Local Teams being 
affiliated to both OOo and LO at the same time now.  I guess some funds may need to be restricted 
to one or the other but that is something for the bookkeeping records and end-of-year financial 
accounts.  

Regards from
Tom :)

2 thoughts:
- maybe interesting for the BoD-ml (board-discuss@documentfoundation.org) too.
- maybe some part of the money for a travel refund (see point 12 of the BoD-tasks [1]? "We are not 
yet in a position to pay these"
