<p>Dear OSGeo Board of Directors, <br>
</p>
<p>we very much appreciate the support of OSGeo. The call for
participation is almost ready and will go out early next week.
This will be a good opportunity to publish an OSGeo news item and
will also help to promote the CfP. We are happy to provide a draft
text. <br>
</p>
<p>Best regards and have a nice weekend. <br>
</p>
<p>Arnulf<br>

<div>If possible I would love to request a news_item for the
event highlighting its importance (and our participation,
sponsorship).</div>

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>
