I'd like to (if at all possible) pull this thread together with all the other various requests for funding but not in context of 'approving' (or disapproving)... only as an open forum for discussing what 'we' (the Community) agree to as appropriate expenditures from our marketing purse. That

I think you raise excellent points, Alexandro and I understand Florian's perspective, too. And while it seems to me that both of you (and all of us) are seeking to serve the same objective (ie: wise stewardship of community resources) in terms of 'how expensive is expensive' I humbly suggest that

Hi, will reply to the mail later on -- but just got an e-mail by the folks from talkyoo that conference rooms will cost from now on. We should be able to make the marketing phone conference nontheless, because they wrote as early adopter I will be able to use the service for free for some
