[mtp-program] question to the mtp politburo

[zuzana at 34.sk]

dear all,

yes, question of financial support of multiplace activities is very
important.

at the beginning, everything was produced by single local organizations
and volunteers. Since 2 years, we have an "umbrella" organisation called
multiplace, which is able to receive funds.

last 2 years were spent on posters and flyers, webdesign and fees for
coordinators (who serve with their time and effort to make this network
possible)

this year, we will receive (it's just a promisse at the momet, so we have
to borrow the money first, it's tricky)
17 000 EUR total, which is enough to cover posters, programs, web, server
hosting and purchase, people, some small donations to infocenter in brno,
infocenter in bratislava + we cover all the travel expenses and hostel for
streaming workshop in zilina this year

it's a complicated question where to give money and where not, when it
comes to program and single needs... We generally don't want to say: we
support nothing, find your own money! and we also can't really say: hello,
we will give you anything you need (no socialism anymore:)

so whoever has a financial need (but please note the budget of 17000 EUR
and all the things that has to be paid) it must be discussed within
executive multiplace committee

there is a strong will to support more than just printing of posters.

by the way, hope you all have received them, or receive them soon - they
are quite minimalistic, as you see, should represent the idea of connected
cities - and provide space for your personalisation. That means, you are
strongly recomended to draw on them, make them more colorfull, make
whatever is close to visual communication of your organisation...

best,

zuzana
