If we get requested budget from OSAS that will be best case. If less than that we will try to prioritize our spendings. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/39#comment:3> council <https://fedorahosted.org/council> Fedora Council Public Tickets

#39: Required approval for Fedora Globalization FAD at Tokyo, Japan 2015 ---------------------+--------------------- Reporter: pravins | Owner: Status: new | Priority: normal Component: General | Resolution: Keywords: | ---------------------+--------------------- Comment (by mattdm): Yeah, as per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_organize_a_FAD#Approval, the formal approval comes from the Council at large and does not need to wait for me. The open question is the greater-than-5k budget. I do think this is overall high-value for Fedora, since it brings some cohesiveness to a previously-tangled part of of the project. I don't think there are competing FAD requests for the budget, so I'm +1, but would like to hear the rest of you weigh in on the extra expenditure. I'd be particularly concerned if this leaves us with, for example, a shortfall in reaching our university outreach objective. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/39#comment:9> council <https://fedorahosted.org/council> Fedora Council Public Tickets

Assuming "we can find budget" means "we won't do this at the expense of some other important thing", then I'm +1. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/39#comment:11> council <https://fedorahosted.org/council> Fedora Council Public Tickets

Josh's +1 is still conditional on that. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/39#comment:13> council <https://fedorahosted.org/council> Fedora Council Public Tickets
