additional FOSDEM budget

[floeff]

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.

+1 - I expect we can reuse stuff for other events, of which a number
will come up in Europe alone in the next months.

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
budget)

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