A thread for expenses to be submitted and voted on by the Finance working group.

Nathan Schneider

Okay—approving now! Thanks for all your work.

I just submitted two expenses, totalling $15, for credit paid into our new Digital Ocean account, which we opened to allow us to migrate our media off the Dreamobjects storage @victormatekole was running on our behalf. This migration was a coincidental requirement which happened to coincide with our server migration.

See https://git.coop/social.coop/tech/operations/issues/21

This also means social.coop now manage this directly, although Victor may need to submit a final expense for our Dreamobject storage.

Going forward, this storage will also be used for storing database backups, when we get that running, and we may also use "droplet" VMs to support our other operations. A disposable VM, now decomissioned, was used to accelerate the migration be providing a transfer point physically close to the destination storage cluster.

Costs for running this require up-front credit, but I estimate should cost around $5-$10/month.

Just a heads up: Mayel kindly granted us an extension for a month, to complete the migration from his server (which is now essentially done, some cleanup required). I think he's already claimed an expense for this extra month server fee, but if not you should expect one.

(Might have fluffed the date, paid last week whilst on holiday, meant to set it to that on expense now I'm back but looks like I might have put it in the future. This aspect seems uneditable.)

I have just submitted two expenses on OpenCollective. Hopefully it was OK to not post proposals here first, as they are renewals of previously approved ongoing expenses (domain + servers). The domain renewal was originally paid by Enric, and I have reimbursed him using FairCoin.

Nathan Schneider

Yes, I approved one and canceled the other. Does that look right for you?

Matthew Cropp

@ntnsndr I've submitted the dev donation for reimbursement, but didn't see my submission immediately show up, so submitted again. So, if duplicates show up, please discard one.

Mayel de Borniol

Please count me as agreed on the Loomio expense, with the amendment

Matthew Cropp

Yes, that works for me - so amended to "ongoing"
