Motion: The GDAL PSC authorizes funding up to US$525 to pay entrance fees<br>
to the Islandwood Code Sprint for Brian Case.<br>
<br>
-----<br>
<br>
Brian (aka winkey) has done lots of work in recent years on and with<br>
GDAL/OGR. Most notably he has developed the libkml based OGR KML driver.<br>
<br>
Brian lives relatively near the Islandwood sprint and would arrange to get<br>
himself there and other ancillary costs. We would just be paying the<br>
entrace fees (which also implicitly covers housing and food). Information<br>
on the Islandwood Sprint (successor to the Toronto, NYC and Montreal sprints<br>
of recent years) is available at:<br>

<br>
I'm afraid I haven't done a detailed financial review of GDAL/OGR project<br>
funds but I think we have in excess of $10K in reserve so this is a modest<br>
expenditure, and I think can serve the community building goals of the project<br>
well. I think we should also be open to similar support for other substantial<br>
contributors to GDAL/OGR who don't have corporate travel support, who would<br>
like to attend the sprint, and who would be able to get themselves there.<br>
However, that is not explicitly covered by this motion.<br>
<br>

<br>
I'll start with +1 Frank.<br>
<br>
PS. I'd love to make a new batch of GDAL project tshirts in the coming<br>
year if someone is up to organizing.<br>
