Office Expenses - Please Review

[Tyler Mitchell]

Hi all,
As discussed at the last board meeting, I was to deliver a quarterly  
estimated cost for running my office.  I've reviewed a few different  
options for getting set up with proper communication and office  
tools.  I am not yet sure how many minutes or how much long distance  
charges, etc. to expect, so I'll start with some lower cost plans and  
adjust accordingly in the future.  For the meantime, I've included  
$100/month as discretionary so that I do not have to keep coming back  
for unknown minor expenses that might come up.

Where purchasing hardware is involved (e.g. phones, PC), I don't mind  
paying for it myself so that I own it, have flexibility and OSGeo  
doesn't have to worry about paying for equipment, only services.  I  
will also use my personal broadband account, since I will have it  
anyway.

Startup costs - one time:
   VOIP Service	$40
   Cell Service	$35
   Supplies		$25

Quarterly costs:
   VOIP Service	$120
   Cell Service	$250
   Postal Box	$60
   Supplies		$60
   Discretionary 	$300

In rough figures, I estimate that I will need $800 per quarter, plus  
$100 to start-up.  Final costs will vary depending on need, final  
sale prices or deals of the day.

Once I have some general consensus on this from you I will go ahead  
and initiate some of the services.  If there are any items missing  
that you think I should be including, please let me know.  Does this  
look reasonable?
