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">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">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">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">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></div><div> <br></div><div> Seth<br></div><div> <br></div><div> <br></div><div> --<br></div><div> web:<a href="https://geographika.net" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://geographika.net</a> & <a href="https://mapserverstudio.net" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://mapserverstudio.net</a><br></div><div> mastodon: @geographika@mastodon.social<br></div><div> _______________________________________________<br></div><div> MapServer-dev mailing list<br></div><div> <a href="mailto:MapServer-dev@lists.osgeo.org" target="_blank">MapServer-dev@lists.osgeo.org</a><br></div><div> <a href="https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-dev" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-dev</a><br></div></blockquote></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
