[sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] finance-wg report back

[Andrew cardoza]

it seems either way, I'd suggest to the group that we start fundraising
toward the premise of the worst case scenario and hopefully come out with
extra time.

Bad news doesn't do well with people without the company of a solution or a
goal. So Rob or whoever else, could you help me understand this situation?


   - Are there any calculations of how much money we would need to raise in
   the following months? if so, what will be the monthly goals?
   - Also, what are we currently raising per month?
   - What is the shortfall?
   - where is the money coming from?
      - events?
      - from collectives?
      - that kickstarter?
      - grants?
   - Who do I ask, if no one responds to these inquiries?

If this information is not readily available, then we suffer from a lack of
transparency.If we expect to solve these problems with our collective minds
and labor, we need more information than a worst case scenario to direct
our energy. Every person here has a big network of folks that are probably
just as righteous and dedicated, We have the people power to deal with
these issues. We all just have to come together and know what exactly we
need to do.
