as for the reasons of firing, there is no information about it in the reports. but i asked current lead about it. his answer: “the reason was simply that i got no response and thought they are no longer interested. everyone who got fired can message me and will create a new opening.”

3. What was the overall spending (in both tJOY and USD) at the start of every Council Term starting from the week before the Lead was hired, until now?

i can’t grade overall spending in OWG before hiring a current lead just because he was the first member of the group and the only lead of this group. so all spending were under the direction of the current lead.

round number	spent (M tJOY)	spent ($)
7	0,3	11,37
8	0,9	33,525
9	0,9	32,4
10	1,8	63,72
11	3,3	114,84
12	3,9	131,82
13	6,7	225,79
14	12,2	414,8
15	11,3	358,21
16	18,8	543,32
17	17,5	537,25
18	9,1	276,64
19	11,7	240,435
20	10	263
21	8,2	192,946
22	11,5	285,2
23	11,1	280,83
24	5	127
25	9,5	257,45
26	10,8	279,72
27	14,5	374,1
28	7	180,6
29	24,1	554,3
30	13,1	326,19
31	10,3	302,305

4. Is the Operations handling their "basic" workload as defined in the helpdesk repo?

i think yes. lead answered me that the main focus of the group now - to improve jsstats and the bots we use, among other things. he also asked me if weekly reports should contain information about workers activities. i said yes!

now it’s difficult to see operations work and understand what they are doing. but including such information in weekly report will make group work more visible.

i also believe that this group is very important and powerful, but they need to do something with the budget. he is too low, but council members don’t see it: they only see that OWG is the most expensive group and may think that they should reduce their budget. but the true is that this group makes a lot for the project. yes, it needs lots of money because there are good developers. so my goal for now - to create some system which will help to make their work clear for others.
