[Board] 2016 budget discussion (due 12 Feb)

[Jody Garnett]

Thanks, added a note column here:
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_Meeting_2016-2-11#Proposed_Budget

I also added a note about annual foss4g conference, code sprints, and
project steering committee budgets ... since they will not show up in our
annual operating budget.

This is the annual operating budget for OSGeo, it does not cover:
>
>    - Multi-year costs associated with our annual FOSS4G conference.
>
>
>    - The annual code-sprint (caring sponsorship budget over to the paris
>    code sprint for example)
>
>
>    - Budgets associated with individual projects (OpenLayers, MapServer,
>    ...) are under their direction of their associated PSC.
>
> OSGeo stepped down from playing an active role during our application for
> US 501(c)(4) status - we are now ready to take on this responsibility for
> committees and projects.
> If your project or committee is interested in fundraising for an activity
> please ask the nearest board member for details on how we can help.
