Just a heads-up, folks - I've allocated $3300 for POSSE Basics (Raleigh, 
July 2011) budget based on 
http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/POSSE_Basics_Raleigh_2011_bid#Funding, 
and updated the budget at 
http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/Budget#2012.

We now have $43527.59 remaining in our education budget for the year. 
This sounds like a lot, but I've been told that Max and Sebastian will 
start carving out a budget for a few big conferences (OSCON, FIE) 
sometime soon, and I still need to set aside chunks for the RIT POSSE 
and for POSSE cohort course funding once we nail down those numbers, so 
we may be running pretty tight.

The three of us tend to keep a tight financial ship, though, so we're 
gonna be okay. :)

accounting program as she does the manual wiki-work here. When I finally 
take a finance/accounting class, I'm going to have so many revelations.

PS: For folks thinking about running their own POSSEs, you can see the
