Till

Thanks for clarifying. I agree that your calculations look quite cautious and I would hope that you will exceed your forecast and generate a nice surplus :)

I will work on drafting an agreement for a guarantee up to €100k with some of that sum (say up to €50k) being provided as seed money. I will try to have something on the wiki for next week. If anyone has ideas or wants to chip in  and help, let me know.

And yes, we need some seed nmoney to cover some billsfor contracts we have to sign the next weeks - but that will be money included in this 100k - so if OSGeo stands for 100k and we require seed money from let's say 50k, this is already part of this 100k - as said, see the sheet in SVN and you see, that my calculation is based on the full calculation (as far as we have it for now - but I am sure, that the whole finance planning is based on very, very careful assumptions, it considers sponsorship only with 40k for instance...)
