aKademy Funding

[Gregory Meyer]

We got the KDE money tonight thanks to Seb's persistence, so we're good to go for making advances.

 So after doing a few (very) quick back-of-the-envelope calculations,
 the following is what i get:
 
 If we assume
 
 a) everyone who has applied for funding from the e.V. gets 80% of
 travel covered
 b) everyone gets reimbursed/fronted what they asked for
 c) no one else who is not on the wiki page gets money
 
 the total bill is about 2000 EUR. (this is a *very* rough estimate).
 greg---what do our finances look like? is this reasonable? do we need
 to start prioritizing?

 Assuming that e.V. eventually sends the money to reimburse for Ian and Seb (last I heard they were going to send the money last week, but nothing has showed up yet), we have about $2,500.  But there is a difference between total expense and cash flow, which was my original concern.  We can afford $2,000, but if we need to advance people $4,000 until e.V. reimburses we'll be short.
 

So the answer to your question is yes and no :
My calculations were based on people not needing the full money in advance payment,  but instead just the 20% remaining payment in advance form (unless specified otherwise on the wiki page). So if $2000 is incorrect, it means that people are not updating the wiki page to show how much they need /upfront/. Otherwise, 2000 should be enough to cover.
