[OSGeo-Conf] [Board] next year's representative at FOSS4G Conference

[David Percy]

I could see a free conference pass, for sure!

But travel expenses? That seems a bit much.

In the end it comes out of the amount generated for the OSGeo general fund
from the conference.

Thus, I think it *is* a board decision...

And, is it airfare + hotel + per diem? or some lesser combination of these
items?
Just airfare and hotel could be ~ $3000 - 4000. That is kind of "in the
noise" of a budget so big, so maybe it's not a big deal...
:-)
