[Board] FOSS4G 2009 RFP

[Jeroen Ticheler]

To me it is a missed opportunity to not have concluded on this  
discussion before issuing the RFP.

Getting the base funding of OSGeo more stable I think we had good  
ideas during the board meeting (for instance by reducing expenses  
and / or by charging more for (some of the!?) workshops).

But if this should or can not be delayed with a week, or be discussed  
before on this list or IRC, that's what it will be :-)
Just my 2 cents,
Jeroen
