<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Cameron,
this is extremely valuable project and a very good timing as we have just discussed the need to make the categories of software listed
on the osgeo website and osgeo live consistent - it is somewhat confusing now.
Although this may be beyond the scope of the project but some modernization of terms may be needed as well
(e.g. there was a suggestion to replace Desktop with Geospatial Processing Platform because Desktop is usually only one of several
ways how certain software is used).
Angelos, board, - given that we have board meeting on March 29 and this is needed much sooner can we approve this through Loomio?
Angelos may be you can put it up for a vote?
Thank you all for this effort, Helena

TL;DR We are looking for OSGeo board approval to apply for a Google Season of Docs grant. Approval is required in less than a fortnight. Submission is due 26 March 2021.
OSGeo board,
A bunch of us within the OSGeo Lexicon committee <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Lexicon_Committee"><https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Lexicon_Committee></a> would like to apply for a Google Season of Docs <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/timeline"><https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/timeline></a> grant. This would result in us being able to hire a tech writer for ~ 3 months.
We're still fleshing out details for the application and scope of work, but it is anticipated to involve describing "How to set up an interoperable glossary" as well as setting up a few exemplar OSGeo glossaries, such as for OSGeo-Live and Geo For All, and ideally a few project specific ones too.
Over the next week I'll be drafting a proposal.
As the board, can you please discuss and provide tentative approval, pending having a final proposal ready.
