[Board] [OSGeo-Conf] Looking for the keeper of the videos from FOSS4GNA- PDX (2014)

[Jeff McKenna]

This has how it's always been, I see this each time someone asks for 
funding for something like a sprint (<3000USD).  As mentioned, if the 
committee or group already doesn't have a budget approved, then we must 
approve each request as it comes.  But, that doesn't mean we can't 
change this process.  I think one could start by working on a wiki page 
outlining the new process for these needs, and then bring that to the 
board.

I think we/OSGeo is now more actively looking to help 
committees/sprints, and this is why you are seeing more requests (I know 
myself I often promote that OSGeo can help in this way).  So I wouldn't 
say broken, I'd say we might need to change a few things, sure.  But, 
since we are do'ers here, if you think something is broken, my brain 
says "fix it" :)
