<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>We are planning our first event for the Irish chapter of OSGeo -
<a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Ireland">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Ireland</a>
for May this year. <br>
</p>
<p>We hope to get around 30 attendees, and will be running some
workshops and discussions. I have found the following links on the
OSGeo wiki:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Ireland">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Event_Management</a></li>
<li><a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Ireland">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Marketing_Material_Samples<br>
</a></li>
</ul>
<p>A question which is not answered in the above is what other local
chapters do with regards to financing these events. We need to
book a hotel conference suite - do most chapter's create bank
accounts? Or do the organisers pay costs directly?</p>
<p>Also what happens if there is a shortfall in funds (I'm guessing
the event is cancelled or the organisers make up the difference),
or alternatively a surplus?<br>
</p>
<p>Finally I have been trying to register to edit the wiki to create
an initial event page at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/</a> - however it
has been a couple of weeks and I have received no
reply/confirmation. Is there anyway to see what has happened to
this application?</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Seth<br>
