Joshua is looking at the way PayPal integrates with Xero and whether we need multiple accounts so we can manage payments for multiple concurrent events.

Grant request: BarCamp Geelong
Motion: Approve a $500 grant to BarCampGeelong.

New hardware
The original sponsor deal fell through. Approaching a few other prospective sponsors. If all else fails, a full HW refresh (3 systems) would probably cost approximately $15k.
