<a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Code_Sprint_Guidelines" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Code_Sprint_Guidelines</a><br>
<br>
This procedure is not perfect and can definitely be improved, but it provides clear guidelines to start from. Unfortunately every event comes with its own context and reasons to not fit in the mold, so the problem is not the lack of a procedure, it is the large diversity of initiatives in our community. If you ask me, this diversity is a good thing so instead of blocking everything until we have a designed good enough mold to fit everybody in it (which will never happen IMHO), I would suggest that the board continue to be flexible in its interpretation of the existing guidelines for each request, and in parallel continuously streamline the existing guidelines instead of starting from scratch again.<br>

I have asked for a regulation of funding code sprint in order to make it<br>
fair but it looks it didn't found any interest.<br>

<br>
Can I suggest a pause to consider:<br>
<br></span>
1. Is there a policy on sponsorship of events, hackfests or<span class=""><br>
codesprints? If not shouldn’t there be?<br></span>
2. What is the process for other events to seek sponsorship?<br>
3. Is there a budget amount for event sponsorship?<br>
4. Should this be determined at board level or delegated to a lower<br>
level?<br>
<br>
<br>

I wish I had better email skills ... let me try that again - I am<br>
viewing these items as a single event sharing sponsorship: QGIS<br>
Hackfest, QGIS User and Developer Conference and Jornadas de SIG<br>
Libre. The three activities share a single website.<br>
<br></span>
* Based on the provided budget (which covers all three events)<span class=""><br>
it appears this is correct - all three events share a budget.<br></span>
* Reading closely thesponsorship<br>
<<a href="http://www.sigte.udg.edu/jornadassiglibre/en/patrocinadores/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.sigte.udg.edu/jornadassiglibre/en/patrocinadores/</a>>is<span class=""><br>
only advertised to cover the Jornadas de SIG Libre and QGIS<br>
User and Developer conference.<br>
<br>
Updating my email:<br>
<br>
I would like to make a motion to cover an expected gap in<br>
sponsorship for the event (QGIS Hackfest, QGIS User and<br>
Developer Conference and Jornadas de SIG Libre). The amount is<br>
subject to sponsor generosity, currently budgeted as a 4000<br>
EUR shortfall.<br>
<br>
<br>
This is specifically so that organizers and university do not feel<br>
financially exposed in this community outreach, community building<br>
and development activity.<br>
<br>
I note my suggested motion is a little bit at odds with the<br>
original request - which specified that any additional funds be<br></span>
provided to/"cover full expenses from the Monestir de Sant Daniel<br>
in order to contribute to the QGIS project"./We may wish to ask<span class=""><br>
for clarifiation on this expectation.<br>
<br>
I understand that this motion steps out of bounds from<br>
specifically a code-sprint request, I feel the response is<br>
warranted given we are looking at larger event.<br>

Dear board members, based on this conversation I would like to<br>
make a motion to underwrite the QGIS hackfest. It sounds like<br>
the event is missing some sponsorship so this will be more of<br>
a risk then usual.<br>
<br>
(Indeed because it is at risk, and a valuable event, is the<br>
reason I am prepared to make a motion).<br>
<br>
Please take a moment to review the submitted request, that way<br>
we can save discussion during voting.<br>
