Hi Jody,

> Thank you Oliver, the board has approved your funding request for 5000€. Can I ask that OSGeo be listed as a sponsor on the wiki page.

> I am still concerned about meeting your budget for the event, can I ask if any funds from previous code sprints (Philadelphia, Vienna, Boston) would be available for you to work with?

First of all, thanks you Jody, you and the board, for this quick and positive answer !


As you could imagine, for now the sprint budget is still 'alive'.
As devs are keep subscribing, and new sponsors are still coming/answering.
Both are obviously good news...

Stephan, who organized Vienna Sprint, also informed me, since my last email on this list, 
that funds from previous sprint editions where available if needed.


So i propose, to keep you informed in about 2/3 weeks, to see if we could significantly reduce 
the OSGeo sponsorship amount asked, or even are able not to use it at all.

Anyhow it's already really comfortable to know you could sponsor this event if needed, thanks again !


And about OSGeo FR, they already provide very valuable help, throught Jean-Marie assistance
so can't do more for this event, but what they provide is already a lot !



Yours,

O.
