In traditional Agile setups, the product owner decides how to spend money
without having to do most of the work (simplified). I consider it a bit ironic,
should we not find someone wanting to decide how to spend ressources. Its not a
problem organizations usually have. ;)
But yes, to get things started, I'd do that, but I hope in the long run we can
get more people onboard for this. Ultimately, it also gives insight in what and
why the BoD does/did certain things, which is knowledge (and skills) I would
like to see spread more widely.

Personally, I wouldnt give hourly rates too much weight unless there are orders
of magnitude apart[1]. Once we selected a topic for the Hackfest, I'd rather
focus on getting a balanced set of domain expertise and communication skills.
If we repeat those Hackfests, rotating topics will mean we should be able cover
different domains over time anyway.
Best,

[1] Which would be a thing to look into anyway, as it might imply
inbalances in the community of some kind.
