Dear OSGeo project members and committees,<br>
<br>
Over the previous years, OSGeo has been proud to support a growing
number of project events, such as code sprints, developer meetings
and user conferences.<br>
<br>
OSGeo continues to execute the annual budget, and is reaching out
to all committees (including Project Steering Committees), to help
plan our budget for 2023.<br>
<br>
In 2022, the Board assigned an initial amount of 500 USD to all
graduated projects who have reported to the Board the activities
of the last 12 months (e.g. during the AGM or directly to a Board
meeting) and have sent a budget request.<br>
<br>
Given the success of FOSS4G 2022 we are in the position to support
our projects again as before. For 2023, the Board is planning to
continue to offer a budget to all graduated projects with the
exact amount to be determined.<br>
<br>
To help navigate the uncertainties ahead in 2023, the Board is
planning to have a budget meeting within January 2023 to review
2022 expenditures, sponsorship and make financial decisions for
the 2023 budget.<br>
<br>
Projects with a more specific plan (to pursue a clear goal) are
welcome to send a more detailed request for approval (see detailed
budget requests from 2022 e.g.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GeoServer_Budget_2022">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GeoServer_Budget_2022</a>) A good idea is
to focus on OSGeo participation, for example attending the AGM or
a code sprint. Also, keep in mind OSGeo goals as an organization.<br>
<br>
Please add your project info to the budget draft at:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2023">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2023</a>

<br>
Project budget requests should be submitted ideally by 20 January
2023 in advance of our next Board meeting.<br>
<br>
Thank you and Happy New Year!<br>
On behalf of the OSGeo Board,<br>
Angelos<br>
