FY2008 $358.48 $-460.98 $-102.50 $8811.65
FY2009 $2,784.57 $-500.00 $2284.57 $11096.22
FY2010 $4,803.28 $-2,081.60 $2721.68 $13817.90
FY2011 $8,798.50 $-2,314.98 $6483.52 $20301.42

Yeah agreed. With what time I can scrape up I'm going to try to stay
focused on the funded development, but I hope the rest of y'all can come
up with good ideas like the book program to put the donations to
effective use in the mean time.

Good, we have a meeting in a couple days which might be an opportunity
for getting decisions from the board that he needs in order to move
forward. I forget what dates were scoped out but if it's prior to March
1st we can organize a vote to approve funds (there's such excess from
last year's hackfest this should be no problem). If it's after march
1st, then it'd be nice to have a rough guestimate to pencil in for
budgeting.
