[OSGeo-Conf] FOSS4G-NA -- request for financial records

[Sara]

Hi folks,

Some of you may be aware that for the past ~5 weeks, I have periodically
renewed a public request [0] for FOSS4G-NA 2018's financial records.

Yesterday, Marc Vloemans, speaking on behalf of LocationTech, said that I
was "misrepresenting" this issue [1]. That's certainly not my intent, so
I'd like to clarify the basis for my ongoing request in longform, and renew
said request in this forum.

- On May 4, 2018, a LocationTech representative stated publicly that
FOSS4G-NA's "financials are open, have always been" [2]

- Later the same day, the same representative said that they were "working
on posting all our materials to the wiki (...) Expect those late this week"
[3]

- Those statements now appear to be contradicted by the recent comment [1]
that "there is no obligation" of LocationTech to share FOSS4G-NA financials

My ongoing requests have thus far been an attempt to continue the
conversation that originally took place on twitter on May 4th. As Marc said
last night that he does not "communicate with people via twitter" [1], I'm
more than happy to continue the public conversation with him or any
relevant representative(s) here.
