Re: Sourceware looking backward, looking forward, Fri 8, 15:00 UTC
Mark Wielaard summarizes the recent Sourceware financial discussion, covering the yearly report and future goals. The project ended the year with a slight surplus, thanks to increased individual donations which doubled to $500 a month. The community is also considering how to allocate resources for the upcoming year, including potential hardware upgrades and service isolation, while aiming to maintain a financial buffer for emergencies.
