<p>Re where the TGP sits:</p>
<p>* I expect people involved in the TGP will likely have a foot in
both the LOC and Board, so for this round, it won't matter much
who makes the final call.</p>
<p>* As we have all noticed, the LOC has a significant amount of
work to do. The more non-core tasks that can be out-sourced to
external sub-committees, the better. (This also allows for
external expertise to be developed between years and carried over
between conferences.)<br>
</p>
<p>* I see core tasks as being tasks which are bound to the physical
location, and probably also the financial success.</p>
<p>* For everything else, I'd err on suggesting that we try to
source a leader from outside of the core LOC.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi all
<div><br>
</div>
<div>…as always, I’m happy to help on the Mojo/TGP front,
and I’d like to hear Daniel chime in here - there may be
visions/plans afoot in the LOC already, and in the OSGeo
TGP funding sense the LOC must be the primary drivers (see
the cookbook referenced here: <a
href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kzu9z_4BRMzCc5y9SsE7--GnShL30kPGnh7gXlqJspQ/edit"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kzu9z_4BRMzCc5y9SsE7--GnShL30kPGnh7gXlqJspQ</a>).
While it might seem onerous/inflexible, OSGeo aims to make
sure that TGP money is used for one thing only - getting
people to conferences.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It seems natural for ‘Good Mojo’ contributions to be
managed by OSGeo Oceania, and delivered to conference LOCs
per their requests for TGP/inclusivity measures - more or
less how TGPs work in OSGeo, actually. However, I’m not
certain we’ve had that conversation yet and this may be
pre-empting discussion.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>Wider outreach/travel funding is a separate issue,
and needs to be discussed in the context of funding the
organisation more generally.</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So yes, we need to move - but not rush. I apologise if
my overly-brief note indicated a need to act
immediately-as-in-right-now-on-a-weekend.</div>

<div dir="ltr">I think that the TGP is far wider than just the
annual conference, and thus should be coordinated/managed at
board level. As well as funding travel to the annual
conference I think there is scope to make funds available
for travel to other related conferences, training (inbound
and outbound), and any other initiatives that meets the
vision of OSGeo Oceania. Maybe this is a Working Group or a
sub-committee role. I see funding coming from multiple
sources such as AID agencies, commercial entities and other
associations (SSSI for example). It may be that we set up a
separate TGP for each conference/event but the
funding/governance is coordinated at a much wider level,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The above said I think it is important to 'strike while
the iron is hot', and follow up on the FOSS GIS funding
opportunity ASAP. I am happy to assist Jonah in putting
together the application.</div>

<div dir="auto">I'd see this as sitting with the
conference committee, if that group is willing and
able to take it on. Of course, the CC hasn't actually
formed yet, but perhaps this can be on the agenda for
the first meeting? The Letter of Intent specifically
references a TGP so it seems likely to be considered a
priority.
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">I'd also see the need for the CC to
pull together at least a first draft of a budget
before we can really estimate what our TGP can look
like, financially.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">And as an update, relevant to budget
discussions, we're currently waiting on the SSSI
board to agree with our request to carry forward the
outstanding balance ($8700) of the Good Mojo Fund. I
believe it will be on the agenda for their next
board meeting, within next couple of weeks I think
(Kerry?).</div>
