Hi,
As the GStreamer summer of code draws to an end there will be some money coming into the GStreamer project (the 500$ per project given to the mentoring organisation). Since GStreamer do not have a formal foundation or anything like that I made some alternative arrangements. Basically we will do the same thing that Gimp have done earlier years and have the GNOME Foundation hold the money for us for a small administration fee. What we will eventually do with the money is a bit unclear, but I thought it was a better solution that the GNOME Foundation hold the money in the meantime than me personally doing it. As for how the money will be allocated in the end I am hoping we can get some rough community concensus on that. Helping pay for some kind of GStreamer summit has been one of the ideas floated. That said the final principle that will be applied in spending the money will be that the four people who mentored in this years summer of code (Zaheer, Stefan, Wim and Edward) will have the final word on how the money is spent.

I reserve having an opinion on spending the money until a later date. dave... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ gstreamer-devel mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gstreamer-devel |
