Excellent, and yes offering a shared bank account is one of the reasons we have OSGeo. <br><br>Michael was looking into setting up a Euro account but I would have to check meeting mins to see what became of it. <br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Thu, Mar 23, 2017 at 7:47 AM Seth G <<a href="mailto:sethg@geographika.co.uk">sethg@geographika.co.uk</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

The Irish OSGeo Chapter is in the planning stages of a one-day
event in May - <a class="m_5260717087485183112moz-txt-link-freetext gmail_msg" href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Ireland/Symposium2017" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Ireland/Symposium2017</a>
<br class="gmail_msg">

We believe we have the funds and sponsorship to pay for the
hosting of the event, but would like to know if there is any
possibility that OSGeo could provide a bank account? <br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
We will likely use <a class="m_5260717087485183112moz-txt-link-freetext gmail_msg" href="https://www.eventbrite.ie/" target="_blank">https://www.eventbrite.ie/</a>
to allow attendees to register and make a small payment (unless
there are any open-source suggestions for this?). We will need
an account to pay into, and then make probably 2 payments from
the funds (a hotel and a expenses reimbursement). Funds would be
paid in/out in Euros. If an OSGeo account could be used this
would mean we don't have to try and open an account which may be
difficult without an official organisation. It also means any
excess funds remain within OSGeo. <br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
The alternatives are to use a personal/related company account,
or to see if an arrangement could be made with the venue,
neither of which are ideal solutions. <br class="gmail_msg">
