It is a bit unclear to me if you are asking OSGeo to take on a sponsorship (€2,000) - since any excess funds are used to "cover full expenses from the Monestir de Sant Daniel in order to contribute to the QGIS project". I am not sure I understand this sentence? </p><p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica"><br></p><p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica">Normally when we fund a code-sprint we do so by taking on some financial risk for the event (which could be greater than €4000). This is sometimes works out cheaper (if third-party sponsorship goes well) and is sometimes more expensive - the point is it allows you as an organization committee to "relax" about the event (or at least share the stress).<br></p><p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica"><br></p><p style="margin:0px;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica;font-size:12px">This event is a lot more then a code sprint (so we have a chance to pull from both our events and our outreach budget). The tricky part is where any excess funds go - we prefer to fund projects such as QGIS directly (since they have a project steering committee - or in the case of QGS an association - for that purpose).</span></p><p style="margin:0px;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica;font-size:12px"><br></span></p><p style="margin:0px;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica;font-size:12px">I ask if we should:</span></p><p style="margin:0px;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica;font-size:12px">a) fund as a sponsor </span><span style="font-family:Helvetica;font-size:12px">€2,000</span></p><p style="margin:0px;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:Helvetica;font-size:12px">b) back the event as a foundation (take on risk with the understanding your budget expects this to be around </span><span style="font-family:Helvetica;font-size:12px">€4,000</span></p><div><br></div><p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica"><br></p><p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica"><br></p><p style="margin:0px;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica"><br></p></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>--</div><div>Jody Garnett</div></div></div></div></div></div>
