Sorry from my side also for the lack of feedback sooner. I think everything you present in the email sounds fine (and great to see local sprint efforts). In terms of funding, Andreas would be better informed if we have any spare funds but there is also the larger question of if when and how we should fund local events. Personally I think first priority should go to our twice yearly international events, but I think it would not be unreasonable to plan some part of our budget to ad hoc regional events on a first come first served basis until the budget is used up. Perhaps this is something we can incorporate into our next annual budget Andreas?

Tim
