              <div>Hi all,<br>
              </div>
              <div> <br>
              </div>
              <div> The OSGeo Board will be meeting on the 28th of
                January to discuss the 2025 budget. I propose we submit
                a request for $5000 to help support the MapServer
                project. <br>
              </div>
              <div> Last year an upper-limit of $2,500 was set for
                projects, but this has typically been $5,000 in previous
                years. <br>
              </div>
              <div> The development items are to help kick-start
                implementing OGC Maps API and try to get MapServer 8 OGC
                certified. Additional funding sources will be sought to
                try and get these items completed. <br>
              </div>
              <div> <br>
              </div>
              <div> In terms of trying to raise additional funding:<br>
              </div>
              <div> <br>
              </div>
              <div> - A proposal for a grant application was sent to
                NLnet Foundation (<a href="https://nlnet.nl"
                  rel="noreferrer" target="_blank"
                  moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://nlnet.nl</a>).
                We should know if this has been successful or not in
                early February.<br>
              </div>
              <div> - Even also put in application last February to <a
                  href="https://nlnet.nl/bluehatsprize/2024/"
                  rel="noreferrer" target="_blank"
                  moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://nlnet.nl/bluehatsprize/2024/</a>
                (unfortunately without a successful response).<br>
              </div>
              <div> - I emailed the user's mailing list with a link to
                the sponsorship page. It looks like there was a problem
                with the mailing list archives, as December 2024 is
                missing from <a
href="https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-users/"
                  rel="noreferrer" target="_blank"
                  moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-users/</a>.
                The email was sent on December 8th with the title
                "MapServer Budget and Sponsorship" - so I'm not sure if
                anyone received it. <br>
              </div>
              <div> <br>
              </div>
              <div> I have added the funding request and fund-raising
                efforts to the 2025 budget page at <a
href="https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/wiki/MapServer-2025-Budget"
                  rel="noreferrer" target="_blank"
                  moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/wiki/MapServer-2025-Budget</a><br>
              </div>
              <div> and propose to submit the budget to a vote, starting
                with my +1. <br>
              </div>
              <div> <br>
              </div>
              <div> If we want to discuss further, we could maybe have a
                PSC meeting next Thursday (23rd of January), prior to
                the OSGeo Board meeting the following Tuesday. <br>
