[OSGeo-Board] Fwd: proposal for OSGeo workshops in Mumbai

[Tyler Mitchell]

I understand Dave,
I'm just the enthusiastic messenger...

I agree with both of you.  The question that this raises to me is  
more around which part of the budget would requests like this come  
from.  Is it a VisCom project?  Or an Education project?  If an  
Education project, does EduCom have a budget and plan these kinds of  
things, etc., etc.  Or is it a special request of some sort.  I don't  
have any answers, just throwing up the straw man.

Agreed - Fundraising committee needs to establish some projections  
and plans.  As well, this will need to include how new funds coming  
in get designated against our budget.
