<div dir="ltr">I am -1 on Adams motion. <div><br></div><div>From Adams motion<br><div><br></div><div><i>The Good Mojo fund is designed to support inclusivity initiatives, and is not part of the regular operational budget of OSGeo Oceania. It is meant to be spent.</i></div><div><br></div><div>Yes agreed<br><br><i>This motion aims to adjust the OSGeo Oceania budget to ensure that there is no cap on how much of the Good Mojo budget can be spent in a given time period.</i></div><div><br></div><div>To be honest I have no idea what Adam is asking here? Are you talking about the OSGeo Oceania budget or the 2020 FOSS4g SoTM budget? As far as I know there is no cap on any Good Mojo expenditure, as long as it meets (some very loose) guidelines.</div><div><br></div><div>As has been discussed already we have a mechanism in place for Good Mojo spending. If it is related to 2020 FOSS4g SoTM then a hub manager can apply for Good Mojo funding through the LOC. The LOC has a budget. The Board does not need to get involved. If the LOC feels it needs an increased budget to cover Good Mojo (or any) spending then the LOC can make the request to the Board. As far as I know nobody has made a request for Good Mojo funding at this time. If it is a general request (outside of the conference) then the request needs to go to the Board for consideration. In any case I would think any request that meets the general premise of the Good Mojo fund would be positively received.</div><div><br></div><div>I do not support 'we have $8000 in the Good Mojo fund - let's spend it all now'. OO will have very little income this year (if not a deficit) and it is unlikely that we will raise any Good Mojo funds in this financial year. We have a potential conference next year (and even that may be unlikely at this stage as the federal Govt. is saying that travel will be restricted to the end of 2021) so we should ensure that we have funds available to support future initiatives. We also need to be mindful of ensuring that the funding is equitably spent (geographic and purpose).</div><div><br></div><div>I am in support of Alex's comments that we need to do something to communicate that we have a budget available for this and our other community support lines, and provide information on how people can apply for funding.</div><div><br></div><div>Gregf</div><div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Oct 7, 2020 at 9:34 AM Alex Leith <<a href="mailto:alexgleith@gmail.com">alexgleith@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I've voted +1.<div><br></div><div>I think we really should do something to communicate that we have budget available for this and our other community support lines, and provide information on how people can apply for funding.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, 7 Oct 2020 at 10:07, Emma Hain <<a href="mailto:emmahain@gmail.com" target="_blank">emmahain@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Sorry all - I have had the flu - back on board. <div>So before I vote, I just need some clarification.</div><div>Is/Are/Will Good Mojo:</div><div><ol><li>Meant to be spent for:</li><ol><li> FOSS4G Oceania Conference only, or </li><li>For all activities that fall under the OsGeo Oceania</li></ol><li>Expenditure approvals from </li><ol><li>LOC, or</li><li>OSGeo, or</li><li>Both</li></ol><li>Access to Account:</li><ol><li>LOC (Jonah), or</li><li>OSGeo</li></ol><li>Community Contributions be called for?</li><li>What activities do you forsee these to be spent on?
