Hi Seth,<br>

<div>I've found another sponsors page in the docs at <a
href="https://mapserver.org/community/contributors.html#sponsors-past-and-present"

</div>
<div>I think this is the more recent version, and so <a
href="https://mapserver.org/development/sponsors.html"
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://mapserver.org/development/sponsors.html</a>
should be removed. <br>
</div>
<div>I'd also like to add a couple of new sponsors to this page
who've funded some of my time on MapServer for the last year(s).
What is the process for this? Do I just need to make a pull
request and merge to the docs, or do we need to vote?<br>

<p>No need for voting for that IMHO. Just go ahead with a PR,
de-duplicating those 2 somewhat overlapping pages, and making
relevant additions.</p>

<div>Looking at the board meeting notes from <a

moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_Meeting_2024-01-30</a>
it looks like we won't get the budget request this year:<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>> Regarding projects, they have been asked to consider
sponsorship within their annual financial needs. The board has<br>
</div>
<div>> decided on a maximum 2.5k USD for each project, due to
the tight budget of OSGeo.<br>

<div>We might have to revise planned activities for the year
listed at <a

</div>
<div>I should know on the 11th of February if the MapServer
workshop is accepted for FOSS4G Europe. <br>
</div>
<div>To cover the other items I think it would be worth sending an
email to the mapserver-users list linking to <a
href="https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/wiki/Sponsorship"
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/wiki/Sponsorship</a>.
<br>
</div>
<div>I can draft the email and send here first for review.<br>

</div>
<div>PSC members (and others) - please let me know your thoughts
on the above,<br>
</div>

<p>Perhaps just keep the 2 top items (release management &
workshop) and cut each to $1,250 each to fit in the 2.5k ?</p>
