[OSGeo-Discuss] [Board] OSGeo is the host of FOSS4G not a guest

[andrea antonello]

Hi all,
I completely agree with Massimiliano. There is a huge difference
between host and sponsor.

That said, I understand Brad's points and also would never want for
this to end in additional costs.

But this should be considered as something to keep well in mind.

Regards,
Andrea
