[OSGeo-Discuss] [Board] Funding code Sprints

[Dirk Frigne]

Patrick,

You point to an interesting topic. I think there are several types of
projects, and geomajas seems to be also in the category you describe.

It could be a good starting point for a discussion how we can best
support OSGeo projects in general, and what should be the rules for the
allocation.
Code sprints are good for a project to have a lot of things done in a
short time for one project, but learning to learn from different
projects how they are working together and share ideas and fun could
also be a good goal to help open source collaboration.

But if you want to allocate a budget for awards such as the Europa
Challenge, this is a separate budget than the code sprint budget, so
maybe this suit your goal better.
