Re: [board-discuss] additional FOSDEM budget

Hello,

The Board of Directors at the time of voting consists of 7 seat holders 
without deputies. In order to be quorate, the vote needs to have 1/2 of 
the Board of Directors members, which gives 4.


A total of 6 Board of Directors members have participated in the vote.
The vote is quorate.

A quorum could be reached with a simple majority of 4 votes.

Result of vote: 6 approvals, 0 neutral, 0 disapprovals.
Decision: The request has been accepted.

This message is to be archived by the BoD members and their deputies.

Hello,

the board has previously approved [1] 2.000 € for FOSDEM collaterals.
Because we would like to opt for higher quality t-shirts, plus produce
some stickers in addition, I'd like to ask the board to approve an
additional 600 € for collaterals.

Although the amount sounds rather high, we try to give away t-shirts at
FOSDEM for donations to get some return money, plus t-shirts not sold
will be taken to other trade shows.

Hi :)
Hopefully these costs will go up quite dramatically every year because it's an 
indicator of success.  It's going up because we know that a LOT more people 
will be stopping and taking an interest in TDF and LibreOffice at the event 
(and at other events).  Also hopefully more people might be happy to don the 
tshirts and mingle to raise the profile even more.  
Regards from 
Tom :)

And my advise is to not make this a recurrent practice (i.e. blow the

Maybe we should have a money available bot that adds a sig with that
amount to budget request emails :-)
