Area hosts submitted budgets to this vote's sponsors with items that lead toward the area hosts's vision for his or her area. We used some of the following guidelines:
−
−
* Filtering a specific purchase out was not a condemnation of the purchase, but to allow the members to have a more distinct voice in the expenditure decisions of the Hackerspace.
−
* Knowing what might be purchased later this year was helpful in planning the rest of year.
−
* Member projects were moved out.
−
* Again, not a condemnation, but intended for these to be resubmitted as member votes by the interested parties.
−
* Knowing these numbers is also very helpful for planning.
