Budget

I know this has been talked about in the past before, but not too extensively, we need a budget. We’re totally dependent on charity and goodwill from others, and that’s failed us before.

Why make this thread now? One of our Discourse servers went down, so we tried rebooting it - it never came back, and now when we try to boot, it says the account is suspended. JP said that he thinks that the account might be decommissioned, and “nothing good” will happen with the servers.

I’m probably making this post way earlier than we’re ready to talk about a budget, but it’s still something we should keep in our minds (imo, at least).

I don’t have a good answer here. I tried to get some sort of sponsorship back in Aug 2013 and wasn’t able to make any progress.

I see a natural alignment with Mozilla IT and with ReMo. I’d suggest engaging both of those groups for sponsorship. I’d start thinking through what value Community IT offers and why Mozilla should spend resources.

Until July I’m strapped for free time. Any volunteers?
