Well if you look at the costs of VLE, for example, there are hosting and
development costs and then the costs of writing new modules. £4.5K would
still buy quite a few new modules, just not as many as £9.5K would - and
asyou say, there's always next year.
My understanding was that the modules were going to be volunteer written.
Similarly I would expect that a one-day GLAM conference
would cost a
little more than half of a two-day conference. It wouldn't cover so
much,
but it still would be a conference.
Perhaps, but it will take almost as much work to organise. My argument was
that you need to free up some time, not spend less.
Nevertheless, if there are particular activities that you think we ought
not to be
doing, please make a case. I can't guarantee that the Board will
agree with you, but I do promise we'll give serious consideration to all
the feedback we get from the community.
You're really not getting it. I'm not saying there are specific things you
shouldn't be doing. I'm saying you should be doing less. It really doesn't
matter what you cancel, but it is time you showed a bit of leadership and
made some difficult decisions.
