James Cameron made a report as Conservancy liaison.
Ours and another project's travel policy exemption request were considered by the Conservancy board, but they decided not to grant either, because of the increased work and the number of exemptions they had already granted to all projects. The other project's exemption was due to illness. Our exemption was due to our own failure to communicate.

We create issues for introductory tasks that we don't have time to do ourselves. We get criticism of the tasks, but very little support from other developers defending the tasks.
