[LGM] finances

[Dave Crossland]

Hi

As I understand it, Louis had only engaged GNOME Foundation in terms of
holding funds while SPI member project status was set up, which will not
happen at least until 11th December 2017, ruling SPI out for this year.

Now that the Plan A (GNOME) option is now closed, then, all that is left
there for us now is to say thank you to Louis for investigating it. Thank
you Louis! :)

On to Plan B: K8 (the name of the non-profit company in charge of the art
academy's think tank/transfer/training activities in Saarbruecken :)

Since the money would be sponsorship for (a) videos of all sessions posted
on YouTube with a 'thanks' intro card (as you can see on eg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MAuBdLsICc) and (b) for travel bursary,
especially to help get people together to hack on Variable Fonts support
now provided by freetype, then K8 will take a 19% cut for handling
everything.

That seems like the easiest solution and frees up Frank's volunteer time to
do other stuff (like maybe help arrange the video recordings/streaming to
be done using only libre software? :)

Cheers
Dave
