[Board] FOSS4G-Europe financial wrap-up

Wed Nov 26 00:52:24 PST 2014

Okay, it seems I misinterpreted. 

I thought Maria’s PCO would invoice your university, so it would just be an exchange between two “PCO”s of FOSS4G Europe.

But you want her to send an invoice out of OSGeo’s name? What’s the rationale for this?

Best regards,
Bart
