Hi,

I do not have an overview of the OpenWrt finances. The money of the 
OpenWrt project is currently managed by the Software Freedom 
Conservancy, see https://openwrt.org/donate

The Software in the Public Interest (SPI) published the account balance 
in their annual report, I haven't see such report from the SFC.

I would like to know:
  * What is our current account balance?
  * How much money do we normally get per year through donations?
  * How much did we spend in the last few years and on what?
   * I know that we payed for some accidental Azure bills and for 
Digital Ocean for some months when the sponsoring ended.
   * An overview based on categories should be fine. If you already have 
to provide something for the tax report that could be sufficient.


I have heard some numbers in some meetings, but I have never seen any 
email with numbers.

Hauke
