Michael,

short briefing from BLOC will be very useful, especially given our discussion about the future direction of FOSS4G conferences. I added it to the agenda

So you know, and in case it matters, conference finances look to be strong and we are highly optimistic we will return a surplus to OSGeo (above and beyond re-paying the advance).
