I don't forsee any big changes for this year.  The only change I made was moving $1000 cloud hosting to OSUOSL donation line, which made the budget the same as last year.  

I know OSUOSL have a bunch of switches to replace this year and given the work helping us replace drives and giving us an extra pipe, and also planned move of osgeo7 to newer switches (this year), seems like a good place to put the money.

We also didn't use any cloud hosting last year.  The only cases I can think of where we would need cloud hosting is for FOSS4G or project specific needs, which wouldn’t come out of SAC budget. 

Thanks,
Regina
