money that OSGeo gets from Google is this year 500USD per student.
Before i was admin and also before i acted as a mentor, this matter was
discussed among the mentors at the time, whether to distribute the money
among the mentors or to destinate them to another use, being this
decision up to the organizations participating in gsoc. As far as i can
tell, the problem of distributing the money to the mentors was to make a
lot of small payments of which a considerable part would be eaten by
bank transfers and currency changes. So it was agreed that the whole sum
should be used to support code sprints instead.</div><div dir="auto">Now,
if you guys think this should be discussed over again, you're welcome,
but this would apply to next year's budget, and should be agreed upon by
all mentors.</div><div dir="auto">My personal opinion: I think it more
useful to use the budget for a common purpose rather than distributing
it in small amounts, for example if you don't like it destinated to code
sprints, would be to use it for financial support for students to
attend conferences. For example at fosdem we have been organizing the
geospatial session and i have every year invited our gsoc students to
present their works but they couldn't afford the travel and
accommodation.</div><div dir="auto">Google also gives 500USD for
supporting students travel to conferences, you mentors will be asked to
propose a name of a deserving gsoc student and an event that he or she
would like to attend and in case of multiple names we will either split
the aid or choose among the students. Last year if I remember correctly
this call was made directly to mentors by google to provide names to
them of deserving students, but i'm not aware if anyone of osgeo made
the request or got funded.</div><div dir="auto">Back to your specific
request, Vicky, I suggest you address this to the osgeo marketing
committee , that is administering osgeo's budget, and they should be
able to give you an answer.</div><div><div class="gmail-m_-213858109674848103h5"><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div>Il giorno ven 25 ago 2017 alle 17:22 Massimiliano Cannata <<a href="mailto:massimiliano.cannata@supsi.ch" target="_blank">massimiliano.cannata@supsi.ch</a><wbr>> ha scritto:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div>Hi Viky and all,</div><div>sorry to be direct (as always :-D) but..</div><div><br></div>As far as I know, nobody ever used the mentor money.<div>They were always, silently (I hear some rumors on this), retained by OSGeo as organization.</div><div><br></div><div>If is possible to use that money, I think this should be clearly stated along with the procedure to access it.</div><div>As long term istSOS mentor, i would also be interested in using these money to support dissemination of the project.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Maxi</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2017-08-25 17:09 GMT+02:00 Vicky Vergara <span><<a href="mailto:vicky@georepublic.de" target="_blank">vicky@georepublic.de</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Hi,<br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">pgRouting team members, have being participating mentoring since even before I joined the team.<br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">There is a FOSS4G in Argentina, and we would like to use some of the money that was for mentors, to support that trip.<br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Do you know how to get those funds? and/or the process to get those funds?<br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">The money is planned to be used in:<br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">- airplane fare for 1 person<br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">- hotel<br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">- pgRouting, OSGeo and OSGeo-GSoC poster promotionals<br></div><br><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Vicky<br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br clear="all"></div><br><div class="gmail-m_-213858109674848103m_7941874538922521104m_8072440465939140099m_-8412386202723247341gmail_signature"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><pre><span class="gmail-m_-213858109674848103m_7941874538922521104m_8072440465939140099HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><span></span></font></span></pre></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><span class="gmail-m_-213858109674848103m_7941874538922521104m_8072440465939140099HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
