    <p>Hi Anita,</p>
    <p>How about asking for 9k €, which would be equal to a large
      sustaining membership? It would be equal to amounts of individual
      QGIS user groups, like Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Switzerland.</p>
    <p>Does OSGeo require more specific contents / projects in the
      bugdet, or would a general "sustaining membership", that allows
      for flexibility, work fine?<br>
    </p>
    <p>Greetings,</p>
    <p>Andreas<br>

            <br>
            Dear OSGeo project members and committees,<br>
            <br>
            Over the previous years, OSGeo has been proud to support a
            growing <br>
            number of project events, such as code sprints, developer
            meetings, and <br>
            user conferences.<br>
            <br>
            OSGeo is reaching out to all committees, including project
            steering <br>
            committees, to help plan our budget for 2020.<br>
            <br>
            As in last year, the board is discussing about assigning a
            starting <br>
            budget of 2000$ to all graduated projects who have reported
            to the board <br>
            the last 12 months (e.g. during the AGM or directly to a
            board meeting).<br>
            <br>
            For projects with more of a plan (to pursue a specific goal)
            projects <br>
            are welcome to send a more detailed request for approval
            (see detailed <br>
            budget requests from 2019 e.g. <br>
            <a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GvSIG_Budget_2019"
              rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GvSIG_Budget_2019</a>)<br>
            <br>
            A good idea is to focus on OSGeo participation, for example
            attending <br>
            the AGM or OSGeo code sprint. Also keep in mind OSGeo goals
            as an <br>
            organization, (e.g. interoperability goal: CITE compliance
            or <br>
            participation developing new standards)<br>
            <br>
            We would like to ask you to help us with budget proposals to
            assist your <br>
            project. This will help us set aside a realistic amount of
            funding.<br>
            <br>
            Please add your project info to the budget draft at:<br>
            <br>
            <a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2020"
              rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2020</a><br>
            <br>
            ideally by Dec 30 ahead of our next board meeting.<br>
            <br>
            When making a budget request please keep in mind the vision
            and goals of <br>
            our foundation, along with any obligations you wish to meet.<br>
            <br>
            Thank you.<br>
            <br>
            On behalf of the OSGeo Board,<br>
            <br>
