<p>Dear Calgary Team!</p>
<p>I open the question round on step 2 of RfP with these two
questions:</p>
<ul>
<li> "The remaining 50% of profit will be held in-trust by
TECTERRA and used as a travel grant program for Alberta-based
students to travel to future international FOSS4G events (Page
40):</li>
</ul>
<p>In the FOSS4G cookbook [1] it is not clearly defined, how much of
the revenue has to be passed back to OSGeo, but there is a not yet
decided proposal that 85% of a FOSS4G surplus goes to OSGeo. The
idea to hold 50% in order to setup a dedicated travel grant
programme for Alberta people for future OSGeo events only sounds
little strange to me - especially as there is an official travel
grant programme of OSGeo. Can you please explain your ideas behind
that a bit more?
</p>
<ul>
<li> Finances</li>
</ul>
<p>Your calculation is based between 24-30% on sponsorship -
depending on scenario "LOW" or "GOAL". Even when regarding the
already signed sponsorships, in any case there is a need to sign
at least a sum of 150k more sponsorship-money, in order to reach a
balanced budget. Do you have an emergency plan, what happens if
something unexpected may happen or what to do when missing your
sponsorship goal? </p>
<p>I also put the questions into the WIKI [2]. Please put your
answers also there.<br>
</p>

<p>Regards, Till<br>
