<p>Hi Alex,</p>
<p>the process is described here:</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_Travel_Grant_Programme_Cookbook">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_Travel_Grant_Programme_Cookbook</a></p>
<p>I will ask the board on how many fundings are available. Before
doing that, I'd like to ask, how much money of OSGeo funding you
are expecting. In total we have 20k US$/year, but at least 50% are
dedicated for the global conference, the rest is for regional
conferences, so do not expect too much ;-).</p>
<p>Regards, Till<br>

<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>
