Hi fellow Ambassadors.
Well, Thomas Canniot (our ever-awesome treasurer) and I (the guy who
won't be long to make stupid jokes about French clichés) worked hard
on it tonight, and we are proud to present to you the Fedora-Fr annual
reports:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora-Fr_annual_report_2009
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora-Fr_annual_report_2010
Each page details (or will) our planned budget at the beginning of the
fiscal year, and our effective budget and activity report at the end
of it.
Hopefully, this will both help clear the concerns people might have,
as well as help Max better estimate how much money we really deserve
(which could very well be much less than what we are asking).
If you still have any doubt, do not hesitate to ask here or on IRC,
we'll make it a duty to answer all questions. After all, where there's
money involved, tensions might arise, and we all want to stay close to
the Fedora Project's second Foundation (that would be « Friends » for
those of you weren't paying attention :)
Best regards,
----------

PS : For those of you who would like to know more about what it is we
do (apart from drinking wine and walking around with a baguette and a
beret), we also used the occasion to create a new « French_team »
category that will hold all of our activities in the future:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:French_team
It's currently pretty empty, but we'll make sure to retroactively add
all the pages that we disseminated through the wiki for all these
years.
This is exactly the kind of transparency we should see from the French
speaking community. A big thanks to everyone who was involved in
producing this report. I think that it's great to have a resource on
the Fedora Wiki that we can point to to show exactly what this group
has been up to.
Cheers,
Yaakov
