Re: Issue #6 - Publish contributions to associated projects

http://www.spi-inc.org/projects/ lists SPI's associated projects. Each
subpage describes the associated project and a general list of
services offered to that project.

Transparency would be largely increased if we would list more specific
services offered to each project. For example,
http://www.spi-inc.org/projects/debian/ could list that x dollars were
contributed to DebConf 17. Ideally, we would list each purchase made
for that project up to some indicated date.

Correct.

We will continue to publish monthly treasurer reports for SPI listing
income and expenses. [*] SPI will only report aggregate sums rather
than each purchase (for various reasons, including privacy).

However, we are working on making individual transaction information
available to projects, so they can do financial reports with the level
of detail they find appropriate for their needs.

[*] There have been delays due to the move to a new bookkeeping system
but we hope to have regular reports soon.

Hi, can you update us on the return of the monthly treasurer reports, or
direct access to the per-project transaction data? With 2017 done I'm
needing to get the treasurer report prepared for X.org, and so am
interested in getting updated data through the end of the year.

Thanks,
Bryce
