<p>Jody,</p>
<p>Prior to the marketing committee reboot, the challenges the
marketing committee (and OSGeo-Live committee) faced was finding
volunteer(s) to administer requests for budget. While there are
plenty of people quite passionate about asking for money, we found
there are few volunteers prepared to arbitrate how money is spent
and then administer the money.</p>
<p>Cheers, Cameron<br>

<div dir="ltr">Shifting this part of the thread to live-demo
mailing list. Personally I like the idea of OSGeo Live getting a
budget, and having one less thing for the FOSS4G LOC to do each
year.

<div>There is nothing stopping this committee from requesting a
budget at any point. The 2017 budget is only a guide, work
with your committee chair and the board if there is a budget
request.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The volunteers on this project are what is important, if a
budget can help, let the board do what little we can to
support.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Importantly just having a budget is not sufficient, a
volunteer would be needed to handle "printing" requests and
organize distribution. I guess it does not matter if that
volunteer operates as part of the marketing committee or osgeo
live project (there are advantages to both).</div>
