[Qgis-psc] 2016 budget proposal

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Paolo,

I am optimistic that we'll get this increase of sponsors and donations. 
Note that there are 5-6k Euro still coming in until the end of the year 
(invoices sent/confirmed, Paypal, etc.). So the planned increase is 
actually not so hight as it may look now.

So our income in 2015 will be more like 70k Euros vs the "planned" 
income of 85k in 2016.

When our organization is fully in place it will be easier to approach 
some bigger organizations who otherwise couldn't sponsor because we 
couldn't sign proper invoices/contracts until now. Because of this, I 
expect that we'll have at least one more gold sponsor.

Yes, because the majority of the devs are so generous and aren't asking 
for refunds. Otherwise it would look a lot different.

Greetings,
Andreas
