Hi CC-members,<br>
<br>
I read the paper delivered by Jody, added some comments and
corrected the details for the Bonn conference.<br>
This paper is more the OSGeo-manual on the topic.<br>
<br>
I think we as Conference Committee have another important task in
this tropic: <br>
How to we select applicants, if applicants > money?<br>
<br>
Second we should agree on what do applicants get paid? We had a long
discussion on this for bonn and in the end we agreed, that it is
very difficult to actually give a travel grant. In the end we did
two things:<br>
1. we paid early bird fee and accommodation in a regular hotel for
"regular" applicants<br>
2. we paid accommodation in a hostel and 500€ cash (as grant for
travel costs) to applicants, that also took part in the
student-helper programme.<br>
<br>
With that, there was no real cash flow before the event, as it would
have been necessary, f we really would have paid for travel costs.<br>
<br>
So far,<br>
<br>
Till<br>

<div>Aside: I am focused on this as part of our OSGeo inclusive

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> Hi,<br>
<br>
thanks Eli for the sum up. I think the count of 9
votes (8 x +1, 1 x +0) shows, that we have enough
capacity to run this topic.<br>
<br>
In general I think the voting result is clear - if the
board passes over this topic to us, we are ready to
go. <br>
Then we can proceed to the next step, as Jody
suggested in his mail from 4th of May and dive into
his draft document. @Jody, could you please share this
doc with us?<br>
<br>
We have to keep Camerons thoughts in mind:<br>
- my intention was a restriction to global FOSS4G, but
may be extended on a case by case basis to other
events too - any other opinions here?<br>
<br>
Also I think the handbook (that needs a re-work
anyway) is a good place: <br>

I mistakenly complained about an short timespan in my response

I expect that Till will "6. The result will be clearly declared

Off list, as not sure of process and this emanates from Jody (i.e., I assume
he knows process; and may have avoided cross post to ConfDev
intentionally?)...
But, heads-up that from Board's perspective they're waiting for ConfDev to
report back, and are hoping for something by Thursday (see below)...

I closed the loomio vote while we wait for a response from the conference
committee. I note that discussion is getting into details
(finance,scope,value,history) rather than focused on the question: Is the
conference committee willing to accept the responsibility for a travel grant
program.
I hope we can hear back in time for our meeting Thursday, it would be good
to have this well underway by the end of the month (as potential foss4g,
foss4g-europe attendees will need to apply shortly).

<pre>As noted in last weeks meeting, we have an action to move travel grant
discussion to email. The motivation is to build on the work done at FOSS4G
2015, FOSS4G 2016 and a few local events.
I would like to propose:
- A format, similar to code sprints, where any OSGeo event can apply for
funds to run a travel grants
- To repeat this is not a FOSS4G specific idea
- I am interested in using travel grants to promote diversity within our
community
A final comment is that travel grants are not a viable solution to high
event costs. If we wish to offer discounts for students we should do so
(rather than lean on a travel grant program).
