From Usenet Big-8 Management Board
From: Tristan Miller <tmiller@big-8.org> Newsgroups: news.groups,news.announce.newgroups Subject: Big-8 Management Board finances Followup-To: news.groups Date: Mon, 10 May 2021 04:33:16 EDT Message-ID: <s7apv9$1ve$1@dont-email.me> This is an official communication from the Usenet Big-8 Management Board. Please note that followups are set to news.groups. In March 2021, the Board joined Open Collective Europe <https://opencollective.com/europe> in order to make all of its financial activities transparent. Members of the public will now be able to see a complete record of the Board's income and expenditures. Historically, the Board's activities have been financed entirely through donations by its members, though we have decided to allow for donations from members of the public via Open Collective Europe. We use donations primarily to pay our web/news hosting bills, and secondarily to cover expenses associated with the Board's outreach activities (e.g., attendance at technical conferences where we speak about the Board's work) and to help fund maintenance and development of STUMP and WebSTUMP, the GNU packages for newsgroup robomoderation. For further information, please see the "Finances" page on the Board's website at <https://www.big-8.org/wiki/Finances> and the Board's Open Collective page at <https://opencollective.com/usenetbig8>. -- Jason Evans, Rayner Lucas, Tristan Miller Usenet Big-8 Management Board https://www.big-8.org/ board@big-8.org
