They most certainly can. As a new org, with a new set of responsibilities, what we need is the following: 1. Strategic Planning * Where do we see ourselves in 3, 5, and 10 years * Marketing Strategy (which can include conferences, etc.) * Business Model (what are our revenue sources and how we get them, what are the inputs and outputs for our resources--time included) 2. A Budget * Given our current situation, what can we afford * Based on different assumptions, what might we be able to afford if we meet our goals. This is a top-down approach. A bottom-up approach is "I found an awesome opportunity, let's go for it." I have found, through my experience, that both are important. > Regarding funding, that I would leave the SLOB to decide on case by > case basis.

We should come up with a budget and allocate resources for things like conferences, which I think we all agree are important. However, I advocate strongly that it be in the context of a larger plan. Whoever wants to help us with these tasks, I am all for hearing your input.
