[Board] Financial limit on advances and guarantees to FOSS4Gs

[Massimiliano Cannata]

But what about the two positions i pointed out? Nobody has any thought?

How was in 2009 the profit splitted?
Would it be possible to have the table i proposed filled?

I think that we have now enough events done to collect some statistics that
will tell us how things goes...
