<div dir="ltr">Hi All<div><br></div><div>Considering we have ~$4 k in our budget, I think we need to put our ceiling on support at $3 k from our budget.<br><br>I think that the document looks good, perhaps needs a bit of alignment, as it says 10 attendees and 20 workshop tickets, then says that we could fund 7 places, which would result in maybe 7 tickets and 14 workshop places.<br><br>What I suggest is that we submit a proposal that asks for $3 k from OSGeo, and if that's approved, we work out more finer details about implementation.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Alex</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, 23 Jul 2018 at 11:58 John Bryant <<a href="mailto:johnwbryant@gmail.com">johnwbryant@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Thanks a lot Adam, this is looking great! +1 for Friday deadline, let's get this out the door so we can put it into effect :)<div><br></div><div>A couple of things:</div><div><br></div><div>1) On numbers of conf passes and our contribution. Right now we're estimating ~10 conf regos, ~20 workshop passes. I reckon we should include the dollar value of these in our contribution, in addition to the Good Mojo cash contribution, ie:<br></div><div><br></div><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div>10 conf regosĀ @ $400 = $4000</div><div>20 workshop regosĀ @ $100 = $2000</div><div>Cash from Good Mojo = $3000</div><div>Total Contribution = $9000</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>2) The other thing this raises is - we haven't accounted for the TGP conf & workshop regos in our budget. The workshop regos probably don't incur that much incremental cost, since we have a fair bit of space in the workshop rooms and they probably won't displace paying attendees at a 1:1 rate, so we're just looking at the cost of catering for 10 ($400) + <i>maybe </i>$300 in workshop registration income. Conservatively, ~$700.<br></div><div><br></div><div>But the conference registrations would be a bigger hit. Hopefully we can source some of these registrations from Good Mojo (donated and/or surplus regos), but we don't have any there yet.</div><div><br></div><div>Supposing we don't actually hit the absolute maximum capacity for the venue, and we aren't using regos from the full-price pool for TGP attendees, the theoretical cost of these TGP regos can be brought down to about $2250 (more or less, depending on how you do the math).</div><div><br></div><div>So... need to figure out where that extra $3000 is coming from. I feel there is potential to raise more awareness (and $$) for the Good Mojo program - but only if we really start working it.</div><div><br></div><div>The other way to look at it is this:</div><div><br></div><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div>Estimated cash cost of our proposed TGP contribution: ~$6000</div><div>Current total amount of Good Mojo cash + surplus sponsorship: ~$4090</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>There are other things we should potentially consider for Good Mojo too, eg. women's breakfast, so there's currently a shortfall. I'm optimistic we can cover this by pushing hard on sponsorship, but there are no guarantees.</div><div><br></div><div><b>So, we're going out on a bit of a limb here by committing to the TGP as it stands - are we happy to do this, based on us continuing to bring in additional sponsorship and/or Good Mojo contributions?</b></div></div>
