<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>Thanks for moving this along. We had a discussion on Friday about
alternatives, and it looks like the EventBrite system allows
collection of payments from attendees and then payments out to
different accounts. We will probably use this to pay for the
expenses, and see if the sponsors can pay for room/refreshments
directly (as suggested on these boards). The US dollar account may
mean a loss with conversions to and from Euro, so probably no need
for any short term actions. </p>
<p>An OSGeo Euro account could be useful in the longer term to store
any excess funds and to invest in future events.</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Seth<br>

The Irish OSGeo Chapter is in the

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">

We will likely use <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
