In one spot it said 85%, in another 90%.  I've change it to 90% in
both places, https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/changeset/12516/.  If they
should both be 85% then we can change it back.

Pertaining to "9. The Advance will be repaid to OSGeo by the LOC
within 30 days of the end of the Event", that sort of conflicts with
the whole agreement.  The agreement is that OSGeo may not get the 50K
back as well as possibly lose another 50k.  Also, I don't see anything
like that getting done in 30 days (looking at past years, 6 months
seems like the average).  I think that something to the effect of, "9.
The LOC will provide a written report on financial accounting
detailing balance of revenues and expenses and outstanding
indeterminates within 30 days of the event.  Based on availability,
arrangement will be made to repay the seed money promptly and the rest
of any surplus on a later timeline." is more realistic.

Monday is a holiday in the US.  Tuesday morning may be a more
reasonable deadline for some US people (but they also have today and
tomorrow).

Once we have this done, I'll add it to the Board agenda and notify the
Board of our recommendation.

Thanks, Eli
