Summary: As per the document just published after it had been submitted 7 months ago, salary-related expenditures rose from 49,386,990 to 59,791,694 in one year

'Linux' Foundation spent over a million bucks in one year for CONSULTING on food

(also: a few weeks ago Jim Zemlin said he got infected with COVID-19 -- yes, the irony! -- and had to isolate himself in a hotel)
