Hmmm, seems ironic that this notice of the meeting
and it's outcomes was sent to the public list.

The 2009 RFP stated "it is expected that the conference will
be budgeted to produce some revenue ($20K) for OSGeo, using
conservative expected attendance and sponsorship estimates".
If the 'general target number' is 500, then shouldn't the budget
be using a smaller number(400?) as the "conservative number",
and doing more than breaking even at that number, or at least
breaking even there, and making a $20K profit at 500?
