I am talking about tracking after purchase. In reality there should be a |
| 9 |
requisition form that is used after purchase. That form would make |
| 10 |
someone responsible and liable for the assets which do not belong to |
| 11 |
them but to the Gentoo Foundation, and they are just a custodian. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I do not believe this has happened, but there is nothing stopping |
| 14 |
someone or any entity from keeping Gentoo hardware or otherwise. |
| 15 |
Therefore anyone who has access to Gentoo hardware, needs to have signed |
| 16 |
out for that. Surely can't hurt to have safeguards in place before such |
| 17 |
incident does occur. |

I would have to find the bug but the banner was like $400 or something, |
| 23 |
more or less. Its not really a cheap item, and could be the same as some |
| 24 |
low end hardware or parts. |

Sure, but there is also a need for accountability of the stuff for |
| 31 |
depreciation purposes. Usually the state will want you to file an |
| 32 |
itemized in categories asset evaluation. |
