<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Googling around for OSGEO budgets/events I found this:</p>
<p><a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Paris_Code_Sprint_2016_:_Budget">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Paris_Code_Sprint_2016_:_Budget</a></p>
<p>There seems to be a difference in that OSGEO does not pay any travel support for dev meetings, but they cover all food/drink expenses (including bar expenses ;-) ).</p>
<p>Whereas QGIS.ORG usually paid for one dinner at events and covers partially travel costs for selected people. Other local food expenses had been covered by local sponsors typically, sometimes with some help from QGIS.ORG.</p>
<p>That seems to be the main difference between OSGEO and QGIS.ORG meetings.</p>
<p>Note that I am not judging which one is better. I guess with the OSGEO approach it would be hard for people to attend a meeting if their employer/company doesn't cover a long distance flight. I kind of like the QGIS approach that we fly in people like Tim, Nyall and some other key persons.</p>
<p>For the medium future it should be our goal to cover almost all expenses of meetings - hopefully, if we can afford to. If OSGEO can contribute 2-3k each year, it would be welcome.</p>

<p>Hi Lene and Anita,</p>
<p>So I start with some numbers from the past. Our dev meeting expenses in the past 2-3 years had been between 3 and 7k € for each meeting. We had 10k in the budget for each meeting but never used that much. The cheapest meeting was the one in Bonn this year, because I think the local organizers (or OSGEO) paid the bulk of it.</p>
<p>I don't know what OSGeo can reasonably provide per meeting or per year. Should we ask for 3k € for each year? Would this be reasonable?</p>
<p>So I found <a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_Meeting_2016-3-10">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_Meeting_2016-3-10</a> - overall they have 20k planned for events in 2016.</p>
