[Viscom-dev] Budget Summary

Two urgent things I'm asking for your general +1 or comments on...

1.
Does this summary look good to you?
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/VisCom_Budget_2007
I'm hoping it is what we can take to the board.

For background, please have a peek at:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Event_Plan_2007
and see the Promotion section. I think our distribution of costs may be higher on the "Booth" part, but in other areas it will likely match the distribution quite well. I find it hard to be too fine grained about it though, since events/booths are often the focal point for all the other costs.

Michael do you want to take this budget summary to the board on behalf of the committee?

2.
I'd like to get this budget off to the board ASAP, as I need funds yesterday. I may need to do a rush/informal request for funds from the $85k, i.e. $10k to cover immediate needs for the LI event. Is that okay with you?

Tyler

+1 on all counts.

What is the exact process for taking something to the Board these days?
Is it sufficient to send them a link to the page, should I call in to
the meeting, or..?

Okay, thanks. Yes, you can just send a link and then make sure it gets on the agenda by pestering Frank or adding to wiki yourself. Then also make yourself available to attend the meeting to talk about the item with the group. In some cases it might be a straightforward item that doesn't need you there, but otherwise it makes sense .. at least to me.

Tyler

Done.
