Hello

I ll be on travelling therefore may be I wont attend the meeting. But
I note here my ideas so that you all have a baseline to discuss.

First of all this is the first time we doing such so we are new to
this and there will be a lot to later. Will make a try and see.

Budget can be divided into two sections

1. Budget for SWAGS
1.1 APAC regional production
1.2 Individual production for events

2. Budget for Event sponsorship
2.1 Release parties
2.2 Other events (with no FAD or FUDCons)

==1. Budget for SWAGS/APAC regional production==
* DVDs  = no of units 2000 (per release)
* Lap Stickers = no of units 2000 (per release)
any other (tshirts, buttons ...etc (please discuss))

==1. Budget for SWAGS/Individual production for events==
* percentage of the Total amount in above section can be allocated
here (Discuss))

==2. Budget for Event sponsorship/ Release parties==

Average release party with no SWAGS can be around USD 100 (based on
participants), How many events can we think of (Need input from FAm
from APAC countries) (will plan for USD 100 if the budget exceed we
can use the reserves which will be later decide based on the total
amount of the budget)

==2. Budget for Event sponsorship/Other events (with no FAD or FUDCons)==

Average event with no SWAGS can be around USD 150 (based on
participants), How many events can we think of (Need input from FAm
from APAC countries) (will plan for USD 150 if the budget exceed we
can use the reserves which will be later decide based on the total
amount of the budget)

== Travel ==

Do we need to have a portion for the travel for events with in APAC, how much?

==Other==

* Special projects => What about event attendee sponsorship proposal
(USD 1000 per year)
* Special Projects => Competitions ?

With these inputs we can create the budget, since this is the first
time as I noted there will be some ups and downs, but we can learn
from this and face the FY2014 nicely.

Thanks for the support.
