<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Massimiliano,</div><div><br></div><div>Can you share some links and some details on how and when the money will be used? Is it for this year's budget or next year's?<br></div><div><br></div><div>We always try to delegate the budget on initiatives and projects instead of the board deciding micro-management. So if you can fit on any initiative or project that want to check and monitor money usage that would be easier for us to make the decision. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>María.<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Oct 15, 2019 at 9:56 AM Massimiliano Cannata <<a href="mailto:massimiliano.cannata@supsi.ch">massimiliano.cannata@supsi.ch</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"><div dir="auto">Dear board,<div dir="auto">I'm submitting a project proposal for conducting a training program in developing countries on open software, standard, data, hardware for collecting weather data to combat climate change.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">This is perfectly in line with the open geoscience committee activity.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">The call for partners got unexpected feedback, and the available budget won't let me cover Nepal and Ethiopia.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I was wandering if OSGeo could sponsor this initiative with 5000 USD that will cover the cost of equipment to conduct workshops. </div><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Don't know if from marketing or open geoscience or other.</div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Due to very very close deadline I wandered if I could have any feedback in a few days.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">OSGeo will get highest visibility and more members in the community.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Looking forward for any feedback.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Best,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Maxi</div><br></div></div>
