<div dir="ltr">Hi Maria - we do!<div><br></div><div>We called it the Good Mojo program:</div><div><br><div><a href="https://foss4g-oceania.org/conference/good-mojo-program">https://foss4g-oceania.org/conference/good-mojo-program</a><br></div><div><div><br></div><div>Anyone interested can chip in any amount by going through the ticket page, selecting ‘good mojo’ and putting in whatever amount you like:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://tickets.foss4g-oceania.org">http://tickets.foss4g-oceania.org</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>If it grows, we can add more. Here, donations are tracked separately - you get an invoice (even if you add some money on top of a conference ticket). I think Alex (in cc) can speak more about underlying bank account structures if needed. I think the main point is ‘yes, we track what is Good Mojo and what is not’.</div><div><br></div><div>The LOC TGP contribution comes from this program, along with money from the general sponsorship funding pool. Again, Alex will know details about proportions of funding, and how much Good Mojo program money comes from direct contributions so far.</div><div><br></div><div>We also get funding for the program from a deal we make with sponsors - if they opt out of having a stand/table at the conference, we assign some of their sponsorship specifically to the program. This idea came from one of the sponsors, and we figured sure - let’s make it the default position. <br></div><div><br></div></div></div><div>Cheers</div><div><br></div><div>Adam</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 29 July 2018 at 21:41, María Arias de Reyna <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:delawen@gmail.com" target="_blank">delawen@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">Hi,<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">That's great news!!</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">If someone would want to contribute and try to get more people on the conference...
