Yearly Budgets and Updates

All discussions regarding budgeting and expenses consider the timespan of a year. However, as the postmarketOS team assembles regularly every FOSDEM, February is used as the cutting point. Therefore, all budgeting and financial discussion consider a period starting every February, and finishing in January of the next year. We refer to this period as “financial year”, with financial year 2025 compromising the time between February 2025 and January 2026, both inclusive.

Yearly Budget

Yearly, and before the annual FOSDEM meetup, a member within the Core Contributors will present a budget to the complete team (CC + TC). The budget approval is considered a project-wide decision and shall be approved following that process.

Yearly Updates

Every year, following FOSDEM, a blog post should be put out. The fiscal year starts from February of each year, all the way to the end of January of the next year.
