<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all: See below for an opportunity that could establish a base project budget and build upon it a bit should we have specific needs. This is nice to see OSGeo pursuing – a long time coming IMHO. I can think of several things that would
be high priority in my mind:<o:p></o:p></p>

</span></span></span><![endif]>Formal support of a maintainer role(s) for MapServer/MapScript and MapCache<o:p></o:p></p>

</span></span></span><![endif]>CITE compliance – I think it’s been quite a while since MapServer participated in any OGC testing<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What do folks think? A few thousand $’s won’t go that far but I think OSGeo support paired with other external funding could actually make something good happen. I know there was at least some interest in Bonn from folks wanting to support
the project although we still lack a formal mechanism to do so (Jeff is/was working on an RFC). There may be potential to engage a local non-profit (here in the Twin Cities) to help manage funds.<o:p></o:p></p>

Dear OSGeo project members,<br>
<br>
Over the previous years, OSGeo has been proud to support a growing number of project events, such as code sprints, developer meetings, and user conferences.<br>
<br>
OSGeo is reaching out to all committees, including project steering committees, to help plan our budget for 2019.<br>
<br>
This year, the board is discussing about assigning a starting budget of 2000$ to all graduated projects who have reported to the board the last 12 months (see
<a href="https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/osgeo/todo/issues/11">https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/osgeo/todo/issues/11</a>).<br>
<br>
For projects with more of a plan (to pursue a specific goal) projects are welcome to send a more detailed request for approval (e.g.
<a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GvSIG_Budget_2019">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GvSIG_Budget_2019</a>)<br>
<br>
A good idea is to focus on OSGeo participation, for example attending the AGM or OSGeo code sprint. Also keep in mind OSGeo goals as an organization, (e.g. interoperability goal: CITE compliance or participation developing new standards)<br>
<br>
We would like to ask you to help us with budget proposals to assist your project. This will help us set aside a realistic amount of funding.<br>
<br>
Please add your project info to the budget draft at:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2019">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2019</a><br>
<br>
ideally by January 14 ahead of our January board meeting.<br>
<br>
When making a budget request please keep in mind the vision and goals of our foundation, along with any obligations you wish to meet.<br>
<br>
Thank you and best wishes,<br>
<br>
On behalf of OSGeo Board,<br>
<br>
Angelos<o:p></o:p></p>
