I don't speak for NRC-FOSS, but still, I find that a little
ridiculous - there's no legal entity called ILUGC - so even
if one does want to, there's nothing to donate to. If you're
talking about compensating individual members, I'm sure none
of them expect anything of that sort. And the last I know,
even NRC-FOSS has budget constraints, and just because it's
a government organization it doesn't mean it can do whatever
it wants with the allotted funds. And things like
distributing money just spoils the spirit for everybody. -1,
my friend.
There are other expenses than just compensating volunteers.
Lack of our legal entity need not prevent them from giving publicity in
media, which on our own we cannot do. It need not be an ad, just a press
realease/press meet will go a long way.
