DescFOSS development, documentation, & project support: During this year, we sustained 42 different independent contractors to improve the software in our Godot, Houdini, LibreHealth, Microblocks, Outreachy, phpMyAdmin, Reproducible Builds, and Samba projects, as well as for Conservancy's accounting infrastructure. All code was released freely to the public under licenses that encourage the public to use, share, and modify it. Our staff assisted volunteers in our projects with administration, coordination, legal and infrastructural tasks. We made smaller software development grants to 14 developers in the Clojars and Homebrew projects. We mentor leadership of projects both inside and outside our organization to improve their non-profitmanagement skills.Desc

DescOutreachy and The Institute for Computing Research (ICR): In the tax year, we funded 240 interns with Outreachy an initiative to encourage participation in FOSS for those who are subject to systemic bias and impacted by underrepresentation in the technical industry where they live. Outreachy interns improve FOSS and its documentation, and increase the diversity of the FOSS community while also learning valuable skills. ICR mentors and trains students in high school to dorigorous scientific research using FOSS. During this year, ICR had 9 internships. Both internship programs are paid programs, making it possible for people from less privileged backgrounds to participate.Desc

Expense$94,762ExpenseAmt
DescLicense Compliance & Education Activity: Copyleft licenses are FOSS licenses which allow everyone to freely share, copy, modify, and reinstall modified versions of the software. They require that everyone who receives the software has equal rights to engage in those activities. When companies fail to meet their requirements, we enforce the license, compelling these companies to provide the same rights to all (just as they received those rights). We focus this work on the rights of hobbyists and individuals who wish to improve the software and extend the lifetime of electronics products. We ensure that the general public has equal rights to use, improve & study their software, and make their own modifications. In particularly egregious cases of copyleft violations, we pursue litigation. We educate the public and the software industry about copyleft, participate in related policy discussions.Desc

Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services DescriptionOTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Facilitating and Participating in FOSS conferences: During the tax year of 2020, Conservancy planned, organized and/or ran a few conferences early in 2020. Historically, we ran and organized many events and conferences for the FOSS community throughout the year, and sent staff and volunteers to many other events. Due to the global pandemic, we indefinitely curtailed this activity beginning in March 2020. We did participate in onilne events.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review ProcessThe Finance Subcommittee meets directly with the auditors to review the audit report and the 990. The Finance Subcommittee immediately files a report of that meeting by email to the full Board. Before Conservancy staff file the 990, a final draft is submitted to the Directors. The Directors review the 990 at that time, and can raise any urgent issues immediately with each other and staff by email or telephone. Formal approval of the 990 and audit report occurs at the next regular meeting of the Directors.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of ConflictsThe Board of Directors formally adopted and consented to the organization's Conflict of Interest, Whistleblower, and Document Retention policy on 16 March 2012. The polices are available for public inspection and comment. The organization's policy is to remind the Board annually that the Conflict of Interest policy is in effect and any written conflicts disclosures are collected annually by a Director.Volunteers who help the organization select contractors are required to adhere to the Conflict of Interest policy.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a: Compensation Review & Approval Process - CEO, Top ManagementAll full-time employees (including any key employees or full-time compensated officers) are equally eligible for the same benefits package, which includes paid-time-off, 403(b) (including matching funds), medical, vision and dental benefits package. That benefits package, and changes thereto, are discussed and approved by the Board of Directors. Any employee serving on the Board of Directors or present at the meeting recuse themselves from that vote and the Board considers benefits package changes only in executive session without any employees present.Karen Sandler, the current President and Executive Director, negotiated her compensation package with an outside director and Board Chairperson, Mark Galassi, when hired. That compensation package was then discussed and approved by the outside Directors. Changes to Sandler's compensation policy are made only with executive-session discussion by outside Directors. Sandler's substantial salary increase in the 2017 tax year was again negotiated with Galassi and discussed in executive session by outside Directors. Sandler receives now and has always received the same benefits package as all other employees (described above), and receives COLAs using the same formula as other employees.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b: Compensation Review and Approval Process for Officers and Key EmployeesAll full-time employees (including any key employees or full-time compensated officers) are equally eligible for the same benefits package, which includes paid-time-off, 403(b) (including matching funds), medical, vision and dental benefits package. That benefits package, and changes thereto, are discussed and approved by the Board of Directors. Any employee serving on the Board of Directors or present at the meeting recuse themselves from that vote and the Board considers benefits package changes only in executive session without any employees present.Bradley M. Kuhn, Policy Fellow, is also an officer and Director. His original compensation package (in 2010) was negotiated with Galassi and approved in executive session by the Board, using data from Form 990s of similar organizations and other salary research data Kuhn receives COLAs using using the same formula as other staff, since that time. Kuhn receives the same benefits package (described above) as all other employees.
