<div>We are in the process of setting up a joint FOSS4G and
State of the Map conference for the Oceania region in November
this year.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’m writing to ask if, and how we could utilise the OSgeo
travel grant program.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We would love to support attendees from remote Australian
communities; and further afield (pacific islands/rest of
Oceania). We’ve proposed a ‘good mojo’ contribution for
conference sponsors, which is specifically targeted at
assisting with travel and measures to help a diverse audience
to attend (on top of aiming for some funding from general
sponsorship and ticket sales).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, we have no idea if that will raise enough to get
anyone to the conference - and accessing the OSgeo program
would help provide some certainty about how many people we
could help with travel and registration.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, we would appreciate advice on how many travel grants
are a good number to offer for a regional conference (we
forecast for 150-200 attendees at the moment).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Your thoughts appreciated!</div>
