            Board,<br>
            <br>
            this is a request to support a code sprint in Nairobi, Kenya
            focusing on<br>
            the region of Eastern Africa. The code sprint with a total
            budget of 19k<br>
            USD is planned for end of April. This funding request is for
            3k USD to<br>
            account for catering at the four day event.<br>
            <br>
            <br>
            Summary:<br>
            <br>
            The Global Land Tool Network GLTN (of which OSGeo is a
            member since 2014<br>
            [1]) has a budget to support activities of their work groups
            called<br>
            "clusters". OSGeo is a member of the "Professional Cluster"
            [2]. In my<br>
            function as OSGeo liaison officer I have requested a budget
            to organize<br>
            code sprint to further develop the software STDM [3], create
            interest in<br>
            the region and to jump-start potential contributors to OSGeo
            software<br>
            projects in the Eastern Africa region. The code sprint will
            take place<br>
            at the end of April and we are basically set to go. Please
            find the<br>
            (draft) CfP for the code sprint at [4] to be finalized and
            published on<br>
            the STDM web sites in the coming days.<br>
            <br>
            <br>
            The support request including the preliminary budget is
            available in the<br>
            Wiki at:<br>
