Greetings, lovely folks of FAmSCo:

The "Regional Support" portion of the FY14 Budget can be seen here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FY14_Budget

Please note that the "Premier Fedora Events" and "Discretionary
Spending" portions of the overall Fedora budget are not outlined on
this page and are still being balanced a bit and will be forthcoming
as soon as possible.

The total amount for FY14 regional support is $91,600; for reference,
the budget in FY2013 was $71,500; in FY2012 was $80,000; in FY11 was
$100,000.

As noted on the wiki page, some guidance around allocations per region
per quarter has been provided, based upon proportions of regional
requests; this is for FAmSCo/Regional ambassador team convenience,
because math sucks.  Some regions of the world may have been more
optimistic or realistic than others, and I don't want these
allocations to become a reason to purposefully request things outside
a rational scope in order to compete for dollars. I believe that over
the years, all of the regional teams have done an excellent job of
balancing out budget and working with other regions to do what's
needed and right in terms of budget handling, and I expect that to
continue, since you guys are awesome.

Regarding last year's spending; I will work with folks in OSAS to get
these numbers published & outlined on the Accounting page, and then
move the numbers from FY14_Budget over to a page resembling
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Community_Architecture_expenses but
including the OSAS name.

Let myself or Ruth know if you have questions. Thanks for your patience!

-Robyn
