<p>Jeffrey, Jody,</p>
<p>I'd suggest looping in the OSGeo Conference committee
(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:conference_dev@lists.osgeo.org">conference_dev@lists.osgeo.org</a>) on wider FOSS4G-NA topics such as
these, as hopefully there should be useful opinions and support
from within the community.</p>
<p>(You'd get supportive feedback from me in the first instance). <br>
</p>
<p>Cheers and good luck, Cameron<br>

Folks,<br>
<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>
Jeff & Rob (SDLOC Co-chairs)<br>
