<br>
We just got the confirmation from the board, that we have 25k US $ in<br>
2019 for our Travel Grant Programmes.<br>
<br>
The idea is, that we want to dedicate 50-60% of this to the TGP of the<br>
global event (so this year for Bucharest - in case they apply for a TGP<br>
;-)).<br>
<br>
The idea for the rest of the money is to give out a call to the<br>
community, that regional events can apply also for some TGP funding,<br>
given that they accept the application criteria (as defined in [1]).<br>
<br>
I'd like to push out that call quite fast and give a 3 or 4 week<br>
timeframe for organizers to apply. This gives every event owner the same<br>
chance and we do not have a "first comes, first serves" - which<br>
definetely would prefer events, that takeplace earlier in the year... .<br>
<br>
In case we have more requests than money, we need a clear and<br>
transparent decision process, which is the main task I fear.<br>
<br>
Any comments on this or ideas on how to define a decision process?<br>
<br>
<br>
So far, I wish you all a nice weekend!<br>
<br>

[1] Steven and John Bryant workd hard on a draft of the application<br>
criteria<br>
(hereĀ <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kzu9z_4BRMzCc5y9SsE7--GnShL30kPGnh7gXlqJspQ/edit?usp=sharing" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kzu9z_4BRMzCc5y9SsE7--GnShL30kPGnh7gXlqJspQ/edit?usp=sharing</a>)<br>
It will go live on the OSGeo wiki over the weekend.<br>
