By the term seed money, we always mean sharing the risk, so if a
loss happens, we obviously participate in that loss.<br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Hi Till,
We hope that own company won’t need to fund much more this event outside
couple of hundreds of hour work and extra many thousands to reach break
even for this conference. :) as we plan to keep conference budget as low as
possible so that people can afford it, very likely we won’t have surplus
for conference. So it won’t be biggest issue to commit for 80% potential
surplus to be paid back for OSGeo. If there is as example big losses of
let’s say -5000 is there option seed money become actually grant? Currently
not knowing of participant readiness to join event in north eu region could
feel bigger concern than surplus for conference.
In any case we understand and accept rule of paying 80% of surplus would be
ok.
Best,

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">OSGeo also helps LOC's with seed money and then these are usually amounts
between 20 and 40 k (recently even more). In this case, OSGeo claims at
least 80% of the surplus of the conference. Do you have a plan, what should
happen with a (potential) surplus of the european confernece?

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Some expenses we have already covered by our company, and moust likely we
will continue in some cases, but we would be happy to reduce this
dependency. So we would like to ask OSGeo for seed 2.000 Euro money. We
will pay the money back after the event.
