I share Anita's opinion about expenses for the FOSS4G-Bonn
conferences<br>
and think it is better to allocate 10000USD under the "Events" head
for<br>
pre-September and same amount for post-September in our 2016 budget.<br>
<br>
The expenses that I foresee for teh FOSS4G-Bonn event is for
preparing<br>
material to be displayed and distributed at the OSGeo booth. Also,
the<br>
cash prize for the OSGeo Best Student (Oral and Poster) award for<br>
but this is already included in the "Outreach" section.<br>

<pre>No big questions, most budget items seem very balanced, just one: The
Outreach budget is mostly allocated for the pre-FOSS4G period. Is that
because we're expecting most outreach expenses to be related to the
conference?
Best wishes,
Anita

In the last meeting we had a motion "Finalize Budget by 12 Feb" which I
believe we have now accomplished, the finalized budget is available here

If their are any questions address them in this email thread, or if there
are no questions can we strike this item from the agenda (as being already
handled).
