[Osmf-talk] Budgets 2020 and 21

[Christine Karch]

Hi,

I'm rather sure that there will be no financial loss due to SotM. I
haven't done the budget for the virtual SotM yet. We are still
investigating our technical needs. But we have a number of confident
sponsors and I'm not worried about that part of our conference ;)

Cheers,

Christine
