The budget tab has been updated accordingly as well.
- Two devs working more than originally estimated. Budget increased from $2,200 to $2,400 each. Previous monthly budget allocation for junior devs was $2.5k so it’s still within the orig budget.
- Original reduction from $5k to $4k was wrong. Reduction should only be $800. Increased from $4k to $4,200
- Travel stipend rejected by HoM with one exception for Stan, conditional on hackathon submission. Request reduced from $7,500 to $500
- $13.6k emoved from budget, to be paid by MDAO instead at the request of Odin / HoM
- Contingency line items removed on request of HoM
The total budget request for October is now down from $107,670 to $72,570.
