[libreoffice-projects] community budget proposals

Hello,

those who attended the last board call are probably aware that the board 
is currently finalizing the budget for the next months, to plan until 
the end of 2016.

In February, we have asked you for proposals on items to fund, [1] to 
build buckets or pools out of that.

We have received many good ideas and proposals, and would like to thank 
you very much for your initiative and sending them in! The board is 
right now working on evaluating the proposals and coming up with a 
budget for 2016, so we can give feedback on the available funds and 
proposals soon.

Here's a list of proposals we have received, slightly redacted wrt. 
possible tenders and their sums. Please note that this is *not* an 
approval of the expenses - the board currently works on the budget, and 
the final decision will be published soon. We try to meet as many 
requirements as possible. As soon as there is a final decision, we will 
share it with the community.

If you spot an error or if your proposal did not make it onto the list, 
please let us know as soon as possible.

Again, the above is the list of proposals we have received, *not* a list 
of approvals yet. The board currently is deciding on items to fund, and 
will then get back to the community with the results in time.

Thanks again for all your contributions, your dedication and your 
amazing feedback - we're looking forward to making possible many of the 
ideas!

Florian
