<br>
Our San Diego Local Organizing Committee would like to request seed<br>
funds for FOSS4G-NA 2019 which we are organizing for mid-april next<br>
year. The past few years have seen this event organized by<br>
LocationTech and with a professional conference organizer, and while<br>
we will strive to put on a really great event, we are going to try to<br>
be budget conscious and run a more grass roots event. We have a great<br>
location on Mission Bay in SD that imposes very few restrictions on<br>
what we can and cant do, giving us alot of freedom to do things a bit<br>
differently than they have been done before.<br>
<br>
We are shooting for an overall budget of $150k-200k and expecting 500+<br>
people. I'm not quite sure the level of seed funding provided in the<br>
past for these types of regional events, but we would like to ask for<br>
$10k if possible.<br>
<br>
Do let me/us know if you have any questions/concerns that can be<br>
answered and hope to see some of you in April next year.<br>
<br>
