As a long-term supporter, it would be interesting to see what budget is available. As also stated in Slack, there is currently no transparency. It was announced to improve this, but in the meantime it would be important to have some context: How much money can be spent?

Hi Lorenz this is a super valid point and indeed pretty upsetting that we currently have no transparency about our funding. The transparency is a must have and we are working currently on evaluating the possible options. I hope to see real progress beginning next year.

But to answer what we can spend this year: According to our piggy bank managers that would be 35.000€. The budget above exceeds the budget by 6.000€.

But as @tobias said

We can agree on a higher budget and either take a small loss in 2023 or put some invoices towards 2024.

Thanks, @Marc, I haven’t seen this statement before. It’s a good thing that so much money can be invested.
