[OSGeo-Conf] 2009 RFP draft review

[Jeff McKenna]

sorry paul, i see you were addressing the profit issue that Frank also 
mentioned.  Here is the line that caught my attention:

previous doc:

"OSGeo will take on financial responsibility, including bridge funding 
and absorbing shortfalls, should attendance fall short. It is, however, 
intended that the conference be essentially revenue neutral after 
completion."

paul's:

"OSGeo will take on financial responsibility, including bridge funding 
and absorbing shortfalls, should attendance fall short of conservative 
budgeted estimates (to be agreed on early in the planning process).
In return, it is expected that the conference will be budgeted to 
produce some revenue ($20K) for OSGeo, using conservative expected 
attendance and sponsorship estimates."

Do we really want to put a number to this????
