<p>+1. Assuming we have the budget, I think we should sponsor
GeoRabble. I expect the GeoRabble forum will attract most of the
FOSS4G attendees, and as such the FOSS4G attendees will be
benefiting in line with what they have signed up for. I also feel
that a part aim of FOSS4G is to evangelise FOSS4 principles
(including to those who are not passionate about FOSS). <br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi folks,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We had a brief discussion at this week's committee
meeting about the GeoRabble event planned for the
Thursday eve during the week of our event. The Melbourne
GeoRabble organisers are scoping out venues
(particularly the Clyde Hotel in Carlton, very close to
the Uni) and they're keen to put it on.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>One of the key parts of getting a GeoRabble event off
the ground is finding a sponsor, which covers the cost
of some modest catering, usually some snacks/food
platters. The GR crew have asked if our event would be
willing to sponsor, to the tune of $750.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I may be a bit biased because I'm involved in the
Melbourne GeoRabble, but I'm inclined to be supportive.
I think it helps us extend our reach beyond the
conference itself, to a wider geospatial audience,
including potentially some people who might be in town
for the OZRI event. Also, the organisers have expressed
support for an 'open' themed GeoRabble, so I feel it
would be a worthwhile event to support. They've been
very accommodating by working around our schedule, and
gave me a platform to tout our conf a few weeks ago.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm of the opinion that our finances can support this
expenditure - our expenses are looking to be lower than
predicted, our expenses higher.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On the other hand, it could be argued that if we
don't support it, it may happen anyway, and perhaps we
shouldn't be in the business of supporting other events
using our own sponsors' and participants' money.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>So, the motion is that we agree to sponsor
GeoRabble Melbourne for their event on the 22nd of
November in the amount of $750.</b></div>
<div><b><br>
</b></div>
<div>Thoughts/votes?</div>
