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 class="moz-txt-link-freetext" 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 class="moz-txt-link-freetext" 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 class="moz-txt-link-freetext" 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<br>
