This is OSCON 2016, May 18th-19th, Austin Texas (USA)?

Sounds like fun. You're nearby-ish right? So the costs here would be some travel and hotel?

Sounds quite sensible. We budgeted $1000 for "Other Events" for 2016, and this would certainly fit that. Does $1000 sound like a reasonable ballpark to cover expenses for all attendees? Josh, would you mind drafting a referendum that I can post for a vote on this?
