[OSGeo-Conf] Application of FOSs4G Bucharest for TGP

[Cameron Shorter]

+1 Cameron.
I appreciate Vasile's logical analysis and principles which he bases his
application upon. The amount requested is a significant proportion (60%) of
the Travel Grant budget, which reduces availability to regional events. I'm
still supportive because:
1. There is an emphasis on attracting local attendees (higher value for
money).
2. Europe has a high population density which makes it close to many
potentially close attendees.
3. The global event should be promoted as the main FOSS4G event for the
year and budgeted accordingly.
4. The application applies OSGeo morals and principles.
