Hi all,
there are from time to time in-person meetings where OpenWrt developers meet. These events are usually amazing on a social level but also allow intense discussions and focused work on specific projects. I attended multiple OpenWrt related meetings over the last years and wouldn't want to miss them.
Since the core team of the OpenWrt project is somewhat spread all around the globe, the costs to attended a meeting may varies from a train ticket to a 10 hour flight. This cost can often be covered privately, however for some, this may exceeds their current financial situation.
To still allow these individuals to attend in-person meetings, we, as a project, were wondering if the community (aka you) who donates to the project, would see these travel stipends reasonable. The question is important to us since normally donations are used for infrastructure (i.e. servers running forum, Buildbots, etc) and not for individuals.
This question comes specifically for this years Battlemesh but should also be considered for the future. Practically speaking, project members could request travel stipends from the organization managing our donations.
Please share your opinion. Should we use donated money for travel stipends?
