Gentoo Foundation Inc. has spent over 10 years raising and holding money for Gentoo. In the past, funding requests have been few and far between (typically 2-3 requests per year.) We have more money than expenses in most fiscal years. This means that we have significant money to spend in support of the Gentoo Community and we are looking for useful ways to spend it. Some may ask, why does the board not spend money itself? The answer nominally lies in the Gentoo Foundation founding documents; the board is not allowed to directly influence the development of Gentoo. As president of the board, I mostly take this as a "requests to spend money should come from the community, not from the board." This is why I am sending this mail; to make a more official explicit request to spend money. -A [0] Specifically, we have approximately $160,000 in cash equivalents.
