Hello Douglas
I have added a note that explains only one round-trip ticket was bought. I used my
frequent flyer points for one of the tickets, that is why it is a bit cheaper than
normally. I thought about this for a while and agree that we should not air such opinions
on the public list, even though I do agree with Ian's argument. For those interested,
Dumisani created the following page to continue this
discussion:

Subject: Re: [Wikimedia ZA] Gauteng meeting report (general list)
Hi Lourie,
The report looks good, just one question, how many airline tickets were bought in the
end? Just one or two? Could the number(s) be reflected in the expenses table?
Good going on the meeting everyone and sorry I was not able to make it. And thank you
Lourie, Isla, Dumi and everyone else for all the hard work you are putting into this.
P.S.
On a general side note for everyone on our mailing list, and I would like to get
everyone's input on this and I don't mean to targe anyone in this, but I am not so
sure that the public mailing list for Wikimedia ZA is the best place to be airing
misunderstandings between members. Perhaps a more direct exchange between the concernd
parties to sort these sorts of things out might be more efficient and a public airing be
more of a last ditch attempt? After all a dispute on a public mailing list can become
distracting from our core goals for everyone else on the list.
Cheers,
Douglas.

Hello everyone
I managed to complete the report for the Gauteng
meeting:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:WM_ZA/Gauteng_meeting/Report.
The actual receipts of the expenses was only send to the board list, as it contains
personal information about myself. In the report you can see the details regarding the
specific expenses and also the remaining balance for this grant. We asked the WMF whether
we can transfer this amount for use in Wiki Loves Monuments. As soon as my questions
are answered by Charlene regarding the bank account I will transfer the remaining balance,
because currently it seems to me that we might have problems accessing the money should it
be transferred to this account. Feel free to ask me if there are any questions regarding
this report.
Kind regardsLourie
