Final Request for Information: Budget Numbers and Delegates

Ambassadors,

As some of you may have noticed by now, the new Budget site for Fedora
has been pushed to Production!

Production: http://budget.fedoraproject.org
Source: http://pagure.io/fedora-websites

This site is part of the new Budget.next process you may recall from
emails previously on this list:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Budget.next

In keeping with the process there, I'm gathering all the information
needed to comply with our revised policies. This email is a *final*
request for three (3) items of information we need from each region:

FY16 Budget Report
FY17 Budget Proposed
FY17 Regional Delegates

Here is what we have had reported thusfar:

APAC

Please be sure that the links above reflect the latest information for
your region, as we will be using it to determine the
soon-to-be-released Fedora Budget for FY17.

Without having a FY17 Proposed Budget (let alone a completed FY16
Budget Report from last year) it will be difficult to decide how much
budget to allocate to your region in FY17. Regions without proposed
and reported budgets run the risk of having their budgets allocated
centrally by the council until in compliance with the process. This is
*not* the preferred or ideal method of budgeting, and would be an
unnecessary burden on both the council and the regions.

It is possible that I have either misplaced your responses, or have
not looked in the correct places where this information is
historically tracked, so if your region's information is missing,
please accept my apologies and respond here on the ambassador list
with updated links and/or information.

In the future, we will be utilizing a repository on Pagure to track
budget and delegate information. We have discussed the possibility of
using this repository to automatically update the Budget site in
production, but for now, consider it a static repository of documents
and data.

Thank you all for your patience as we transition into this new era of
budget transparency. It is my hope that we can stay on top of the
process this year, streamline the reporting requirements, and thereby
streamline the reimbursement process, while improving information
access to everyone in Fedora :)

Looking Forward,
--RemyD.
