[Grants] Grant request: Linux Australia Contribution to the Promote Drupal Fund

[Kathy Reid]

Looking at Xero raw profit and loss, the figures are below.

These do not take into account the around-$AUD-11-per-head that we get
each event to budget for to help cover the costs that Linux Australia
absorbs centrally such as insurance, merchant fees, bank fees, auditing
and accounts. For say a 300-person event this would be around $AUD 3300.

  * DrupalCamp Sydney 2014 - $AUD 416.69 net profit
  * DrupalSouth Wellington 2014 - $AUD 25,426.84 net profit
  * DrupalSouth Melbourne 2015 - $AUD 38,542.32 net profit
  * DrupalSouth Gold Coast 2016 - $AUD 60,499.59 net profit
  * DrupalGov 2017 - $AUD 6271.42 net profit
  * DrupalSouth Auckland 2017 - $AUD 3997.88 net profit

Kind regards,
Kathy
