<body><div>Would there be any overlap on GeoServer and MapServer CITE testing? If so maybe budgets/experience could be combined. I guess from a MapServer view the ideal would be to get CITE testing to the Travis CI. <br></div>
<div>For FOSS4G - maybe funds could be given in exchange for collating and presenting a MapServer Status Report at the conference. <br></div>
<div>Interesting to look at the other projects/budgets for ideas, and as you say hard to know how to use it fairly. <br></div>

I think you have some good ideas here. I like the idea of getting someone to FOSS4G, I'm just not sure how you do that equitably. This is just a start...<br></p><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"><br></p><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">Note that GeoServer was asking for $5K for CITE testing.

<div><div>Hi Steve,<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I see this has come up for discussion on the board list, so would be good to put in a request: <a href="https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/board/2019-January/011971.html">https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/board/2019-January/011971.html</a><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>CITE compliance sounds good. Are there fees to pay OGC for this, or is it to pay for the work of setting up tests and fixing MapServer code?<br></div>
<div>A maintainer role also sounds good, but could be complicated to sort out responsibilities?<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Other possible options:<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>- Pay for some of the FOSS4G costs in Bucharest to give a MapServer project status talk?<br></div>
<div>- Stickers, T-shirts? Whilst not critical they may help improve MapServer's visibility at local chapter meetings, FOSS4G etc. and attract new users, who may in the future become MapServer commiters. <br></div>
<div>- "seed funding" for a feature. As you mention it wouldn't pay full costs but may make a concrete fund for others to contribute to. I guess this would require a v8.0 roadmap to be put in place. <br></div>
<div>- is all infrastructure for VMs already funded by OSGeo? A few more live hosted demos etc. would be good. I think we have one server already in place. <br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Regards,<br></div>

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).

the last 12 months (see <a href="https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/osgeo/todo/issues/11" style="text-decoration-line:underline;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;color:rgb(5, 99,
