A couple of thoughts from me (currently in the weeds of the TGP
for the main FOSS4G and also based on last year’s TGP)
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
<ul class="MailOutline">
<li class="">You will only have limited funding from OSGeo and
should seek to raise at least half of your TGP funds from a
delegate donation on registration or an optional levy from
sponsors or a crowdfund campaign from the wider community
who may want to support people attending your conference</li>
<li class="">We have taken the view that grant recipients must
have “skin in the game” so we do not seek to cover the full
cost of someone getting to the event. But by providing some
funds and a free pass to the event we are probably covering
half of the expenses. This enables us to spread the limited
grant funding further to reach more people.</li>
<li class="">We only pay the grants when people arrive at the
event to ensure that we do not have “no shows”</li>
</ul>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Good luck and don’t hesitate to ask for
help/advice</div>

<div class="">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 class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’m writing to ask if, and how we could
utilise the OSgeo travel grant program.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">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 class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">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 class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">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 class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Your thoughts appreciated!</div>
