[Board] FOSS4G-Europe financial wrap-up

Ok I dove into this, and discovered the cause: Peter is not a member of
the OSGeo Board list, and was sending emails to it and CC-ing Maria
directly, then Maria responds to the Board and no one is able to
follow/make sense of the discussion (this happened over and over again
in this thread). I have manually subscribed Peter to this mailing list
now. :)
In my response to Peter's initial email (that never made it to the Board
list, stating a surplus of 3000 EUR from FOSS4G-E 2014, and then he
wanting to feed that into FOSS4G-E 2015): thank you Peter and the whole
2014 team for putting on a wonderful event. I personally left Bremen
re-energized and re-focused on FOSS4G, full of passion and enthusiasm,
and it was all thanks to the Bremen local organizers. I had so much fun
at FOSS4G-E Bremen. Thank you again.
Regarding transferring the funds: if I go back to Peter's initial
message, I think Peter's university needs an invoice with the FOSS4G
Como logo and name - Maria could you draft an invoice/letter with the
FOSS4G Como logo and name at the top (contact info would of course be
your PCO, to receive the funds) and send it to Peter? I bet all that is
needed is to ask your PCO to make a custom invoice template with the
FOSS4G brand at the top, for this instance.
Does that make sense??
