<br>
please note that there is also the surplus from last year's sprint of<br>
€9,826.03 or roughly $11,000 available. There are some ideas around of<br>
how and when to transfer the money. Thus I propose to discuss and decide<br>
directly at the sprint unless you need it beforehand of course.<br>
<br>
Looking forward to meet in Philadelphia soon.<br>
