FAmNA approves sponsorships in NA although certainly FAmSCo can do that too. Based on discussion at the last FAmNA meeting I'm sure FAmNA would be pleased to sponsor this event.

Budget both in FAmNA and in FAmSCo for the upcoming fiscal year is unknown to us at this point so we can't commit to anything until we hear about the budget. We'll keep monitoring that but we do know that one ambassador is already on the list of attendees so Fedora will be present in any case.

I'll own this one as I plan to attend anyway. I assume there will not be a table to sit at all day and that I will be a roving ambassador with some swag. How do I request $200 for travel?

Is that in fact a "yes" to the sponsorship?

No budget is being requested from Fedora for this event, Manifold Recording has that covered.

We just need you to agree that Fedora can be named as a sponsoring organization.

I think that is just by putting you in touch with Michael Tiemann (Manifold Recording) directly.

I asked Jeff to add this event to our weekly agenda for this Tuesday's meeting. I strongly support this and really don't expect anyone else to object to our sponsoring this event (especially under these conditions). But let's wait until Tuesday to make the "yes" a fact so others have a chance to give their input. I'll note that we will make a final decision then so there won't be any further delays in planning. (And I think it would be completely safe to proceed with planning at this point.)

Ok, it wasn't clear to me if the Fedora people participating would also be sponsored by Manifold Recording. I'm also happy to sponsor Jeff with FAmNA funds for what its worth. I've sent Jeff mail answering his question from a FAmNA subsidy point of view but he may not need to do that for this event.

Thanks Karsten for clearing things up.

FAmNA approved Fedora sponsoring LAC tonight and will work with jsandys to make sure some promotional material is available at the event. Thanks Karsten!

I'll take ownership of this.
