Hi everyone,

Thanks for today's call. 

Based on our discussion, the approximate distribution of the budget looks as following (more or less as I see it, open for suggestions):

Total Marketing Budget*		$37,000	100%
Swags & Events		$20,350	55%
Contingency		$3,700	10%
Infrastructure		$2,220	6%
Google AdWords		$5,550	15%
Paid social media, backlinks		$5,180	14%

*The total sum can be changed when trademark activities are finalized.

The next steps:

- each member to review preliminary distribution and respond if there are any suggestions

- each member to check more detailed list in the Budget Document (all the tabs) and leave comments or just edit the content if some activities should be added

- during the next MP Marketing Call (12.04) we'll discuss the final outcome and decide how to move on with more precise numbers per each option

You can send your feedback to this thread or via git issue https://github.com/microprofile/microprofile-wg/issues/42

Thanks,

Tetiana
