[Board] invoice

Wed Nov 26 14:21:15 PST 2014

That's exactly  the reason why I am insisting:  the Board has to decide about that, not  about the fact that Jacobs University sends a sponsorisation to Politecnico di Milano.  What has to be decided is if the Board agrees  or not in such an involvement of OSGeo in the invoice. Peter told me that unfortunately this is mandatory.
I'll be glad in having that budget but I understand also that it is a difficult choice. So feel free to decide what you believe is better.
Cheers
Maria

Oggetto: Re: [Board] invoice

So I can conclude now that the use of OSGEO brand logo comes at a price of
EUR 1030,59, and the same goes for using the "FOSS4G brand logo" (whatever
this is), as well as using the OSGEO communication channels...?
;-)

I really think this is/should be: leftover proceeds from one conference
organiser to the follow-up organiser, transferred on a voluntary basis (as
a favour, really), and that the whole OSGEO involvement is unnecessary and
confusing.

OSGEO board should stay out of it (and I don't actually think they
intended to get involved in the first place). Keep it light, guys...
