<p>Dear Peteris,</p>
<p>I am not sure, whether we had the case before, that a local
chapter asked OSGeo for seed money for their regional conference,
but maybe the older colleagues of the board may remember.</p>
<p>If you ask me, I see no problems with helping out from the OSGeo
side, but as said, maybe the colleagues know better about such
cases than I do. <br>
</p>
<p>Nevertheless, I have one quesiton: For our global FOSS4G events
OSGeo also helps LOC's with seed money and then these are usually
amounts between 20 and 40 k (recently even more). In this case,
OSGeo claims at least 80% of the surplus of the conference. Do you
have a plan, what should happen with a (potential) surplus of the
european confernece?</p>
<p>Thanks, Till<br>

<div dir="ltr">Dear Board,<br>
<br>
this mail comes from FOSS4G Europe Local team. I am Peteris
Bruns the Chair of FOSS4G Europe 2020.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://2020.europe.foss4g.org/" moz-do-not-send="true">https://2020.europe.foss4g.org/</a><br>
<br>
We would like to ask for seed funds for FOSS4G-Europe 2020 which
we are organizing for July 2020.<br>
<br>
We are expecting 200-300+ attendees.<br>
<br>
We already have some expenses we have that we would like to
cover. Some expenses we have already covered by our company, and
moust likely we will continue in some cases, but we would be
happy to reduce this dependency. So we would like to ask OSGeo
for seed 2.000 Euro money. We will pay the money back after the
event.<br>
<br>
It would be great if you could find a descission in the board
meeting today. Please notice that Codrina Maria Ilie and Astrid
Emde are also in the organizing committee.<br>
<br>
With greetings from rainy Latvian winter,<br clear="all">
