Accepted. Rationale below.

> 2. I anticipate contributing to BOF activities surrounding FOSS at SIGCSE.
Yeah, we should figure that out, possibly a little closer to the date.
It sounds like everyone is in the frantic throes of pre-SIGCSE
spring-break mania right now.
> 3. I can contribute to POSSE recruiting.
Excellent - having multiple alumni (Matt, Mihaela, Grant) on the ground
helping with this will be a *huge* boon. You folks are going to be way
better at explaining POSSE to other professors than Sebastian and I will
be, just because you *are* professors.
As I said to Mihaela, we'll figure out exactly what this means once we
hit the ground in Dallas. :)
> 4. I'll help with SIGCSE coverage for opensource.com/education. Will

+infinity. Again, public deliverables are *very* good here.

Matt has been super-active on opensource.com/education planning for
SIGCSE and has a lot of great coverage planned. Big support on this.

Accepted, http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/Budget#2012 and

With that, I think we are at the sanity threshold for SIGCSE travel
grant requests. I will close funding for this event now - let me know if
you have any comments/questions.
