What is our current financial state? Paolo?

I guess my vote would depend on the outcome of Paolos report back. Also 
bear in mind that Gary is running a north american hack fest (June was 
it?) and may come to us looking for funding for transport for hackers 
etc so we should make sure our actions are equitable.

Assuming we have a decent amount of money in the kitty, and that someone 
will write up a blog report (with lots of piccies :-) from the event so 
that we get some wider publicity out of it, its a +1 from me.
