Dave,

Ah, that's great news.

Are there any details available on what the $8K for accounting/financial
services would be for?  Does that include an "outside audit"?  Does that
include part time accounting services?

Do we have any details on the $10K for "improve osgeo web site"?  Has
this been discussed with webcom?

I don't have any problem with the budget amounts, but I do feel, for
the web stuff, that the committee in question should be involved in
planning a bit so the money lines up with something they want/plan to
do.

The budget also makes it clear that the conference is the "elephant in
the room" budgeting wise. :-)

Best regards,
