<p>Malena,</p>
<p>It is great to hear about how active and effective you appear to
have been in South America. I suggest that in order to help the
board answer you question about funding, you also provide
information to help them assess the "Return on Investment".</p>
<p>What do you need funding for which would be difficult to obtain
elsewhere? (Being specific and creating a budget would help).</p>
<p>What value would you gain which is enabled by this funding? <br>
</p>
<p>How much money are you asking for?</p>
<p>Will it be a once off cost, or ongoing? Could you see yourselves
as becoming self sustaining? <br>
</p>
<p>Of note, I am not on the board, and am not speaking on the
board's behalf. I am just passing on a suggestion.</p>
<p>Warm regards, Cameron <br>

In 2013 we organized the first local version of FOSS4G (as Geoinquietos Buenos Aires), this event was held at the National Geographic Institute, gathering more than 200 people in workshops, presentations, projects and exhibitions of cases of free tools usage applied to geomatics; including a day dedicated to OpenStreetMap. Since then, both communities are in continuous collaboration and participation in these events.</span></p>
