<br>
(1) Any accusation of impropriety is a very serious thing, especially in<br>
a community like Fedora where the only thing that keeps people together<br>
who in many cases have never met face to face is trust. This is<br>
particularly the case here, since I know that I have never met any of<br>
our contributors in Bangladesh, and I don't know that anyone on FAmSCo<br>
has either.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>+1. I used to be thinking that receipts, photos and report is enough to prove. I haven't met anyone in BD in person also.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<br>
Furthermore, all sides of the story need to be heard and listened to,<br>
and no final decision should be made without careful consideration from<br>
all of FAmSCo, which might require a private meeting.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>+1</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">

*** README *** -- I recommend that the discussion be taken of the email<br>
list and off of any public IRC, until the matter is resolved, out of<br>
respect to everyone that is involved in it.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I decided and have let Angel + Monir not respond to that public thread until we have finalize the case.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<br>
Is this something that Caius is going to continue to be the primary<br>
point of contact on?<br>
<br>
(2) We need to separate out any issues around personality conflicts or<br>
"leadership" debates from the process by which Fedora contributors are<br>
reimbursed for expenses that are previously approved.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>+1. At the moment I am only proposing a look on the ticket. About "leadership" or other debates I will let Angel gather the info and make it into a writing.</div>

<br>
(3) There is an opportunity here to strengthen our reimbursment<br>
guidelines and request that in the case of swag being produced, a photo<br>
be provided along with the receipts. This is similar to requiring a<br>
trip report for any travel funding. I would ask FAMSCo to discuss this.<br><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#888888"><br></font></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I like this one. </div></div><div><br></div><div>K410</div>
