I don't think this will make it to the Board (I'm not subscribed) but this old page may be useful in discussions like these about OSGeo and FOSS4G finances,

Hi Guido,<br>
<br>
Thank you for your message!<br>
<br>
This is a topic on the Board's matters to discuss for some time now. During the FOSS4G Belem F2F
<br>
meeting, we also talked about the future FOSS4G global and regional events (including the code
<br>
sprints), especially with regards to finding an acceptable annual time frame to avoid potential
<br>
conflicts in attracting sponsors and participants alike. The details of our discussion are here:

<br>
I know this is very short-notice, but if you could join tonight's board meeting I'll put the topic
<br>
on the agenda. Otherwise, if you can, we can write it down for next month.<br>
<br>
The meeting tonight starts at 20:00 EEST (<a href="https://meet.jit.si/OsgeoBoard" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://meet.jit.si/OsgeoBoard</a>).<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers from Bucharest,<br>
