admit that you caught me off-guard, the list is more <br />impressive than I thought before reviewing it. :-)<br /><br />I still find that having to deal with funding DVDs for so many events <br />can be an issue. It is not just about processing micro-payments, you <br />also need to collect and archive proofs that the expense you are <br />reimbursing is legitimate (i.e. receipts) for OSGeo's accounting. I have <br />seen how complicated this can be with just the Local chapter starter <br />kits, imagine doing this for ~100 DVD print runs all around the world.<br /><br /><br />-- <br />Daniel Morissette<br /><a href="http://www.mapgears.com">http://www.mapgears.com</a>/<br />Provider of Professional MapServer Support since 2000<br /><br /><hr /><br />Board mailing list<br />Board@lists.osgeo.org<br /><a href="http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/board">http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/board</a><br /></pre><br>
