[OSGeo-Conf] FOSS4G SotM travel grant funding request - first cut

[María Arias de Reyna]

Hi,

That's great news!!

If someone would want to contribute and try to get more people on the
conference... It's there ant bank account to do so? Do we do it through the
same link as the main TGP? Should we? Can we distinguish donations?

Not that I have so much to donate, but if more people donate something...
For this year's main conference, individual donations have gone far.
