[OSGeo-Discuss] Return on Equity

[Jason Birch]

I think that it's a mistake to be thinking about how to spend
OSGeo's funds until we have a business model that ensures
sufficient income to cover our expenses.
 
We're still bootstrapping, but we're almost two years in and
are still heavily reliant on Autodesk's continued involvement.
 
I sincerely hope that the new board (and Tyler) are making
this topic their highest priority.
 
Jason

On Jo's last point re funding travel expenses, this would be a huge
benefit for getting deserving delegates who don't have the means to Cape
Town next year and other conferences in future. Perhaps a merit- and
means- based application process could be applied.
