Phil,

This matter is actually very important for Smalltalk community, because
it exposes nontransparent, meddling behind the scenes, and in some cases
blatantly unethical behavior of some ESUG board members. Which is
certainly bad for our community on long term.



Janko CAN YOU STOP!

"blatantly unethical behavior�
Really

Stef



Such matters need to be clarified and some conclusions to be made for a
community to preserve health and go on. Otherwise you are drowning into
murky waters more and more.

Best regards
Janko

Guys,

From the outside it just looks like a couple of spoiled kids battling in
the kindergarten.

All of this is not moving Smalltalk and Pharo any single bit forward.
Backwards, there is a fair chance.

Now, could you take this discussion elsewhere? Pick up a phone and talk.

Who cares if anyone is right? Oh yeah, EUR 4K, what a huge amount to
fight over for an European org... (rolleyes).

Phil

   Hi Janko,

   I do not have all numbers at hand now but in 2013 there were 4
   extra-GSOC but we paid only 3 because one student gave
   up (Jean-Baptiste Beuzelin). 
   So yes you are probably right that it remains money if we integrate
   last year BUT we were willing to spend it.

       Dear all,

       First to Luc: from your numbers it is clear that you are not to be
       blamed on anything, because you were obviously misinformed and
       misguided.

       Facts namely are:

       1. GSoC mentors decided to pay extra stipendiums 3000 USD [1] while
          ESUG without approval paid 2000 more, 5000 USD, without any
       report
          back to GSoC mentors,

       2. GSoC mentors decided to add past GSoC2012 amount to the pool for
          paying extra projects [2][3].

       Calculation (without the Summit expenses) therefore is:

       Income: GSoC 2012  13x 500 =  6.500 USD
               GSoC 2013  13x 500 =  6.500 USD
               ------------------------------
                                    13.000 USD

       Expenses:
               Extra stipendiums: 3x 3.000 = 9.000 USD

       Difference: + 4.000 USD

       If ESUG would follow the decisions of GSoC mentors it wouldn't
       loose any
       money but gain 4.000 USD.

       Those that misinformed and misguided you needs therefore to
       apologize to
       you Luc, to the GSoC mentors and to me as admin!

       Janko

Hi all,

------------
FACTS

As you all know, I am the ESUG treasurer.
So please find the numbers attached for the ESUG support of GSOC
projects in 2013.

ESUG sponsored 3 "extra-GSOC" meaning extra slots not accepted
       by Google.
In the file it is: Alejandro Infante, Pablo Estefo and
       Benjamin Arezki.

All in all we paid:
- 3695EUR (~5000USD at that time i.e. same cost as a regular
       GSOC) each
projects
- Serge trip to Mentor summit

And we received 5552EUR from Google

so yes we lost ~6582EUR
That is easy 13*500 USD would only cover 1 plain extra-Gsoc and we
sponsorized 3.

I also think that it is important to send someone to the GSoc
       mentor
summit because it participates to the fact that Google
       recognizes ESUG
ang gives slots the next year.

It is alos important to note dates.
ESUG paid first and then has been refund by Google.
It would not be possible to do it without ESUG.

------------
FROM HERE, MY POINT OF VIEW ON THIS STORY:

As some of you know, I doing the ESUG treasury stuff on my
       *own* time
and it takes a lot!
I am doing it because I strongly believe that Smalltalk (all
       falvors!)
is a really great language that should be more widespread.

I also completely open to discussions.
The ESUG board can also explain its actions and even money status.
I can do errors too.
So if Janko wants some details on GSOC related money, JUST ASK!

I cannot admit that:

- Janko wrote about some money accusation. This is directly
       directed
against the treasurer so me.
And honestly, just reading again that I am biased and that I
       hide or
steal money make me think that I should better quit.

- Janko asked for apologies! what is that? even if I would
       have done a
mistake (and ESUG did not loose money), YOU STILL MUST THANK
       ME for
DOING THIS BORING TASK!  and then I can correct mistakes if any

- People wants an answer fast, this conversation started
       yesterday and I
am spending my week-end with my kids


I am really fed up with this kind of attitude.
Stop accuse, better ask, discuss and we will solve the
       problems together
if any.
But I think it will never happen...

#Luc
The disgusted Treasurer of ESUG who will finish his week-end
       in bad mood
