Hello,<br>
<br>
I can confirm that the OSGeo:UK AGM will take place on Mon 20th
Nov 2024, 12pm - 1pm (GMT, UK/London) online using Zoom. More
details available at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://uk.osgeo.org/agm/agm2023.html">https://uk.osgeo.org/agm/agm2023.html</a>,
including the draft agenda. We hope to see you there.<br>
<br>
Of particular note we will also discuss how we want to use the
£6000 of funding to support open source geospatial software
development. We've decided to call this 'GoFundGeo' and we are
running the process similar to last year, where we supported 5
projects with a total of £3,878.52.<br>
<br>
We are looking to use this money to fund relevant projects in the
range of £500 - £1000 each. We would like to hear from you - what
project(s) do you think we should fund?<br>
<br>
We are making this as simple a process as possible, so please
submit your ideas to by Mon 13th Nov 2023 (one week before the AGM
on Mon 20th Nov 2303). We will need a short paragraph that covers
what is being funded, why it is useful, who will do it and how
much you are applying for. We will share these for discussion at
the AGM.<br>
<br>
We have funding guidelines online at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://uk.osgeo.org/fundingguidelines.html">https://uk.osgeo.org/fundingguidelines.html</a>, but briefly, we only
fund open source projects, our preference is to support discrete
pieces of work, or to meet specific sponsorship levels, and we are
focused on items that will benefit the UK community.<br>
<br>
We will discuss the submissions at the AGM, and decide which ones
to fund.<br>
<br>
I am also very pleased to confirm that the RGS-IBG GIScience
Research Group who provided funding of £250 in 2022 have agreed to
provide £250 again in 2023.<br>
<br>
If your organisation is interested supporting future funding,
please email <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:osgeouk@gmail.com">osgeouk@gmail.com</a>.<br>
<br>
If you have any comments, or would like anything discussed at the
AGM, please don't hesitate to get in touch.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
Nick.<br>
