Dear Mark,<br class="">
<br class="">
we just had a broad discussion on this topic and the conference
committee decided in a vote, to take over responsibility on travel
grants for all future global FOSS4G's.<br class="">
<br class="">
I personally would have been happy, if that would have been in duty
of the conference committee already for 2016, but at that time,
there was no general rule from OSGeo. <br class="">
<br class="">
My opinion is not to start a new discussion now, but let us start to
work. I think we can have an individual agreement for 2018 if you
feel that this is needed.<br class="">
<br class="">

participation to all that wish to come is one of the core
principles of FOSS4G 2018 - the below example being a strong
human face to this. I feel that the balance of responsibility
for travel grants does currently rest on the LOCs of FOSS4Gs,
potentially at Boston we can have a face to face with the OSGeo
board to work out where the responsibility for this should lie.

ConfComm,<br class="">
<br class="">
as you've seen
in the past
days, Michael
from BLOC
started a
discussion how
to proceed
with the
travel grants,
Jody was
involved for
the board and
the board
accepted to
take over the
whole travel
grant
responsibility
to OSGeo. This
means, we now
can (and
should) setup
a formal and
unique
procedure for
ALL FOSS4G
events for
travel
granting. In
my eyes, this
is a big step
forward (my
thanks to
Michael to
start this
discussion
again ;-)).<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">
<br class="">
My suggestion
is, to give
our ConfComm
the mandate to
have the
responsibility
for approving
event
applications.<br class="">
<br class="">
So my call for
a vote is:
"Should
ConfComm take
over
responsibility
for approving
event
applications"
?<br class="">
<br class="">
Please vote
until
10.05.2017 24h

<div class="">Excellent,
so would the
idea be to
update the

mandate then?<br class="">
<br class="">
Or would the
conference
committee set
this up as
indicative
(for program
visibility and
sponsorship)?
... similar to
how the
website/rebranding

That is a bit

One open

who should

Should the
board handle
it like code

the conference
committee
interested in
the

do we want a

<div class="">
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:
tahoma,
sans-serif;">As
you all can
see we've been
very busy
assembling our
program (<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://2017.foss4g.org/accepted-presentations/" target="_blank" class="">225
accepted talks</a>,
out of 423
submitted) and
rounding out
the
sponsorship
for the
conference (<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://2017.foss4g.org/sponsor/" target="_blank" class="">>$200k
of commitments</a>).
And now, with
2 weeks to go
before the
Early Bird
expires,
registration
is starting to
pickup with
~200
registrations
processed.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:
tahoma,
sans-serif;"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:
tahoma,
sans-serif;">And,
with
registration
on people's
minds we have
started to get
the inevitable
requests for
financial
support (e.g.,
and accepted
speaker who's
company cannot
pay; graduate
students
looking for
support; etc.)
and we expect
those requests
to continue.
The Boston LOC
(BLOC) would
dearly like to
have a "Travel
Grant
Program", but
as was pointed
out in earlier
threads (I
believe by
both Steven
Feldman and
Jody Garnett)
it is
difficult for
the host LOC
to run such a
program. For
instance:</div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<ol class="">
<li class=""><font class="" face="tahoma,
sans-serif">We
do not yet
know our
financial
condition.
With
registrations
being
notoriously
late, we won't
know if/how
much $'s are
available for
such a program
for some time.</font></li>
<li class=""><font class="" face="tahoma,
sans-serif">Administering such
a program
takes time,
and our
primary focus
is on
producing the
conference and
the workshops.</font></li>
<li class=""><font class="" face="tahoma,

on criteria
for choosing
recipients and
the amount of
individual
grants can be
delicate and
the
criteria/objectives
may differ
between the
BLOC and OSGeo</font></li>
</ol>
<div class=""><font class="" face="tahoma,
sans-serif">As
such,<b class=""><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>the BLOC would like to make a
formal request
that OSGeo
establish and
administer a
travel grant
program for
the Boston
2017 event</b>.
We would
gladly
collaborate
and help
advertise the
program (e.g.,
on our website
and through
referrals),
but we would
concur that
this program
should be
established
and funded by
OSGeo. We have
high hopes
that the
proceeds from
Boston will
reimburse
OSGeo's
investment in
subsidizing
attendance
from certain
communities.
And, we too
will be
looking to
offer other
opportunities
for financial
support
through our
volunteer
program, and
potentially a
"need-based"
registration
discount (if
our Early Bird
registrations
give us
increased
confidence in
our financial
success).</font></div>
