[Board] 2016 budget discussion (due 12 Feb)

[Dirk Frigne]

Venka,

I think we must define this once and for all.
>From the actual budget last year, I learn:

events: things we organise ourselves, like the Townhall, Code Sprint
Support, other sponsor activities (so I think also the events you are
mentioning: participating in "Events" organized by other organizations
> (e.g.. ISPRS, EGU,
> GWF)

Under Outreach I find costs of
- starter kits, LiveDVD/USB, MArketing, OSGeo Student Awards,

I agree that a better description and devision in categories could be
helpfull. We can start this year with using the new classification.
