using Cobudget for OuiShare Fest 2015

hi,

I just had short chat with @francesca about possibility of using Cobudget for http://2015.ouisharefest.com/

I thought about keeping fully transparent expenses related to inviting various people who will present. Then invite all the participants to decide where they would like to allocate let's say ~20% of their what they paid for tickets. This would allow them to influence lineup of the event, possibly also means of transportation eg. train tickets over planes.

Does it sound like possible use case for Cobudget?

Hi @elfpavlik - Cobudgeteer here. Thanks so much for reaching out about this!

We would be really excited to provide support for OuiShare! Love their mission and community :)

It would be worth talking a bit more about the details of the case you're thinking, but from the brief you've given here it sounds just about perfect.

If you or @francesca are keen, I am available to connect about the details. Just drop me a line at derek@enspiral.com or leave me a contact and I can reach out myself.

Thanks again!

Hi @derekrazo, my apologies for delayed reply!

So far I could only find
* Cobudget video https://vimeo.com/90498374
* README on github https://github.com/open-app/cobudget but with some very helpful links.
*very minimum information on http://cobudget.co/
Any way to follow this development more closely?

I would like to discuss with @francesca and others on #OSFest15 team possibility of automatically creating cobudget account for everyone who gets ticket and inviting such person to choose how to coallocate few % out of the price paid for that ticket...

Hi @elfpavlik - no worries on the delay - we've been sucked into the Enspiralverse at the retreat etc for a while now. Just coming up to the real world again.

I actually have a meeting with @francesca on my calendar for tomorrow in the context of Enspiral / Loomio stuff ( we are big cross-pollinators ;) ), and we may talk about potential cobudget stuff.

Would love to connect about it - I'll ping you on email about scheduling a call.

Regarding following the project more closely, I'll be creating a cobudget community (similar to the loomio community) , within the next week or two, where we can congregate and scheme and keep up to date as a community. We already have one of these inside the Enspiral loomio group but we're obviously outgrowing its privateness :).

@derekrazo does that community group exist yet?! I want in! :)
