initial thoughts

New page

How much money does VisCom need, on a quarterly basis?

Some initial thoughts:

* General costs
** 100/year for the cafepress store

* Event main costs (per event) -- '''how many events per quarter? 2?'''
** ''no idea -- could include booth, space, sponsorship, ...''

* Event support costs (per event)
** $300 for shirts (15 shirts at $17.50, plus shipping)
** $200 printing for brochures, etc

* ...?

-How much money does VisCom need, on a quarterly basis?
+This page is about tracking and projecting VisCom's expenses.
-Some initial thoughts:
+''All amounts are in US dollars.''
-* Event main costs (per event) -- '''how many events per quarter?  2?'''
+== Discussion ==
-* Event support costs (per event)
+Our expenses lie in the following areas:
-* ...?
+* '''CafePress store''' - This is a promotional activity, not designed to raise much money.  My goal is to at least earn enough to cover the cost of the store ($100/year); anything above that is pure profit to fold back into the VisCom coffers (<$1000 certainly).  As such, I'm not going to factor it into the below budgets.
-== OSGeo Budget ==
+* '''Major Shows''' - This is for shows at which we have a large presence, e.g. a booth and multiple attendees.  Our expenses will include floor expenses (booth, rentals, etc, etc), shirts and other swag, printing, T&E, etc.  ''Sponsorship of a show, such as at OSCON, will not be included in the VisCom budget.''  Examples: EuroOSCON, OSCON, Where2.0.  ''(Need to get historical data on how much we have spent per show.)''
-I removed the OSGeo Conference cost as it will be a bit of an anomaly and is bigger than just VisCom (I assume).
+* '''Minor Shows''' - This is for shows that we have a small presence at; no booth, but maybe a few speakers, maybe loan of some booth space from Autodesk, maybe some chances to give away some shirts and such to some VIPs.  Example: GeoWeb 2006.  ''(Need to get historical data on how much we have spent per show.)''

		+	== OSGeo Budget ==
		+	Below are parts of the overall OSGeo budget that pertain to promotion and visibility specifically. Can we just add more detail to this so we can see how the breakdown fits into this framework?
		+
		+	I removed the OSGeo Conference cost as it will be a bit of an anomaly and is bigger than just VisCom (I assume).
		+
		+	All items indicated in US dollars per year.
