Thanks much for updating everything. I had used an exchange from 2022

The addition of 3178.26 + 869.67 + (206.67*1.13271) = 4282.03 € (maybe a
rounding difference??)

Note that we have not received any money from OSGeo in 2021. I don't

As the amount for sprints is a separate item for OSGeo request (Helena
confirmed below), I would not cut from the student grants

I've also updated the exchange rate to the one indicated by xe.com for

Yes, that and showing the student grants we gave and are planning to give
next and other ideas too (these are welcome! :))

Based on Helena's suggestion below, I'd add 1000 euro for travel
expenses/conference fees (one or the other according to covid restrictions)
to give talks or workshops to promote GRASS GIS.
