<p>-1 from me, although I'm open to be convinced otherwise.</p>
<p>Reasoning:</p>
<p>1. It is unclear to me from this email thread who the recipient
of this travel budget.</p>
<p>2. It is unclear what benefit will be gained from spending this
budget. Who will benefit? What OSGeo goals will be furthered? <br>
</p>
<p>3. This looks to be a very rushed request, with very little time
for debate.</p>
<p>4. As Bruce mentioned, it is unclear whether we are setting a
precedent which OSGeo cannot match if applied across all projects
in the future.</p>
<p>5. It looks like the entire project's sponsor budget is
benefiting just one person's trip to FOSS4G, and it is unclear if
that person will be helping others at the conference. It is not a
good look.</p>

<div>Hi Jody,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This will set a precedent.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Do we have funding to support one person from each project to
attend FOSS4G?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’d prefer that we didn’t go down this path, if we can’t
offer equitable treatment to all of our projects.</div>

<div>ZOO-Project has not completed graduation and does not
have an officer of their own, so I guess this falls on me
as incubation chair to make the request on behalf of the
ZOO-Project PSC.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><i>As incubation chair this looks fine, the ZOO-Project
is both planning ahead with a budget request, and making
use of the funding in a productive fashion. I kind of
wish many of our other projects were as engaged.</i></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am happy to make the request, I will give it 24 hours
in case any ZOO-Project PSC members, or incubation
committee members, wish to provide input.</div>
