    I think we can solve that concern by divide the budget in 2 parts:<br>
    Assumption that we know already the really strategic code sprints
    for 2016.<br>
    (like the FOSS4G codes sprint in Bonn)<br>
    <br>
    From past years the board  can make a good assumption what the
    budget for the strategic code sprints should be, and reserve that
    for these activities for 2016. The second part can be allocated to
    new and ad-hoc initiatives following a RFP.<br>
    (and in 2017 we can have several periods with RFP's so we can
    instantiate a continue process).<br>

        <div>the fact that made me rise this discussion is:</div>
        <div>- we are facing more and more sprint code support requests
          (really really great)</div>
        <div>- we do have limited budget (we may not be able to support
          all the requests)</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>So, how to prevent, for example, that a request in
          September for a very strategic sprint code is not funded
          because all the money were already spent?</div>
        <div>Shall we have a call for sprint code with defined criteria
          of selection so that all the projects are aware of this
          possibility and knows the rules?</div>
