Re: getting support for developers

Ciao Magnus,

Yes. But I think the rules are reasonably similar across europe these days
- though of course not identical. I can only speak from the perspective of
the Swedish rules, which I know.

In any case, we can't do this. We need professional advice and an accountant (or accounting firm) that follows PGEU activity from a financial and fiscal point of view. If you remember, when we (Italians) proposed the European association to be based in Italy, we provided a list of expenses which included full support (all year) by professional accountants.

I assume PGEU will gather a sensible amount of money when sponsorships will be handled, and in that case I strongly suggest we get a professional accountant (maybe JPA will be more precise - in any case we could move this discussion on our list).

But as you say, we'd need professional advice before we say what we *can*
do. I'm just saying it may be a lot less easy than it seems.

Exactly. I guess it is no point of us going any further on this, as we need skilled professionals for this sort of activity.

I'll just snip the other ideas which are good, but which reallyi is
something for the future :-)

Yes, I agree. :)

Insane ideas. Which very often come up on my mind. :) - If you only knew what I am thinking for the next PGDay ... :P

Ciao,
Gabriele
