Please note that we decided to work on the budget in a spreadsheet in 
the OSGeo Nextcloud (file grass_project_budgets.ods, with a tab for each 
year, mentioned in the wiki as the download link 'Master file': 
https://nextcloud.osgeo.org/s/dKXfqq4QkMmSkB5) in order to make 
modifications easier while elaborating it. At the end it can be easily 
copied over to the wiki. I created the 2022 tab and synchronized between 
the wiki and the spreadsheet.

I've updated the ledger in Nextcloud which represents our detailed 
accounts transaction by transaction. As a summary, here is our current 
financial situation as of Dec. 31, 2021:

- PayPal Money Pool: 3178.26€ (2698€ in donations in 2021)
- Bank Account: 869.67€ (-543,60€ spent of which -43.60€ for bank fees 
and taxes)
- OpenCollective: 206.67$ (all donations of 2021)

Using the exchange rate of 1.13271 $ / 1 € from xe.com for Dec. 31, 
2021, this means we have a total amount of

4277.50€ or 4845.17$

Note that we have not received any money from OSGeo in 2021. I don't 
know what needs to be done to receive the amount granted ? @Helena, 
would you know ?

The first 500€ for Linda were spent in 2021 and are part of the 
accounts. The rest (i.e. 500€ for Linda and 1000€ for Caitlin) should be 
part of the budget 2022. I see you have put 3000€ in planned grants. I 
assume that is in the idea of up to 3 new grants. So the total budget 
would have to be 4500€ taking into account the outstanding amounts for 
the already decided grants. I've taken the liberty to change the budget 
accordingly, but this means that it will be a big element of our budget 
2022.

We also need to decide on whether we think that face-to-face code 
sprints will be possible again and so whether we need to plan for some 
expenses there. An option would be to reduce the planned new student 
grants to 2 and move 1000€ over to sprint budget. Note that we can also 
ask for specific sprint budget support from OSGeo.

I've also updated the exchange rate to the one indicated by xe.com for 
Dec 31, 2021 and adapted all the amounts you already added.

For the planned income, I've indicated a sponsoring target of 2000€. I 
think that this is ambitious, but doable, if we have a proactive 
campaign and remind/inform people regularly, including with news about 
what the money has brought for GRASS GIS.
