>>The discussion on wplug-plan (about the banner and how much we'd be 
>>willing to pay for something like that) motivated me to run these 
>>numbers.  I've tried to project WPLUG's financial position going 
>>forward, if we spend money only on things that we absolutely have to 
>>spend money on (taking my best guesses as to what we'd be spending on 
>>things like the picnic, and paying for our use of WSCC), and assuming 
>>the current trends in membership renewal rates continue sort of as they 
>>have.  The numbers I came up with sort of made me sit up and take 
>>notice.  I've included them here (please excuse the formatting, this is 
>>a straight cut and paste, it might not look very good in this e-mail...):
>>
>>2012
>>
>>Opening balance:    925
>>+ 16 renewals:        320
>>- PO Box                  94
>>- Venue rental 
        240
>>- Picnic                    75
>>- Contingencies         50
>>- Linode                  420
>>                           ---------
>>Closing balance:      369
>>
>>2013
>>
>>Opening balalnce:    329
>>+ 14 renewals          280
>>- PO Box                  94
>>- Venue rental          240
>>- Domain reg             30
>>- Picnic                     75
>>- Continginces           50
>>                          ----------
>>Closing balance: 
     160
>>
>>2014
>>
>>Opening balance:      120
>>+ 14 renewals           280
>>- PO Box                   94
>>- Venue rental           240
>>- Picnic                      75
>>- Contingencies         50
>>                            ----------
>>Closing balance:        -19

>>So basically, at our current spend rate (spending only on things we 
>>absolutely have to spend on) and current income, I'm projecting we have 
>>money until about mid-2014 before we start having issues.  Even if my 
>>guesses as to expenses are a little off, I think the point ends up being 
>>that we're spending money faster than we're taking money in.  If it ends 
>>up not being a problem in 2014, it still is likely to be a problem in 2015.
>>
>>Not even sure where I'm going with this, other than mention that it's 
>>something we definitely need to think about.  Over the next year or so, 
>>finding ways to improve our income stream (as well as minimize expenses) 
>>will become sort of important.
