This prompted a suggestion from me to formalise the guarantee and conditions and some early thoughts. Cameron subsequently asked for this to be written up in the FOSS4G Handbook under the Financial section, which I am about to do.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">One element will almost certainly be a standard agreement, albeit with a schedule that can be varied according to circumstances. It would be helpful to have sight of the previous agreements between OSGeo and FOSS4Gs up to and including 2015 so that we can start work on trying to draft this standard agreement. Can you provide? In the event that some of the agreements were verbal can anyone remember precisely (or as near as possible) what was agreed/committed?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks<br class=""><div class="">
