<div dir="ltr">One thing to keep in mind - it is not clear about taking money from year to year.<div><br></div><div>The marketing committee had this question: wondering if it could use "unspent" money from last year towards this years goals. Since we expected to have to print a lot of new banners for local chapters. We were told no ... that the budget did not carry forward from year to year. I am kind of okay with that, it does mean that for long term planning a bit more discussion is needed - which is good for transparency.</div><div><div><div><br></div><div>A similar issue is before project steering committees, especially when funds have been donated towards a projects (open layers was sponsored this year) or towards an initiative (the global travel grant program has been sponsored this year). I expect these means we need a little project by project accounting beyond the OSGeo annual budget. I would like to sort this out with the treasurer; as I do not want each project steering committee to have to incorporate in order to have a bank account (it is one of the things we founded OSGeo to do for the projects).</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>--</div><div>Jody Garnett</div></div></div></div></div></div>

Our <a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Code_Sprint_Guidelines" target="_blank">procedure for code sprint</a> is designed to make sure the team is putting some effort into attracting sponsorship, and that allows OSGeo both provide initial money (to rent facilities) before sponsorship comes through, and to backfill in the event of a loss so our volunteers are not personally on the hook (it is stressful enough running one of these events).</div><div>--<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div class="m_5274158753775966328gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Jody Garnett</div></div></div></div></div><div><div class="h5">

All,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What’s the process for using the requested funding for the GeoMoose project? Can we still use these monies this year for example? We haven’t gone after any of the requested funding yet as we’ve been wanting to set up a fiscal agent first.
That’s close to being completed now.

<div>We finally budgeted 17,500. How does this compare to the actual spending this year?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you agree, I'll go ahead and ask our projects to provide input for next year's budget. This way, the incoming board will already have the information they need to start planning.</div>
