[Board] Funding request for the GRASS GIS Community Sprint in May 2012

[Markus Neteler]

Dear board members,

we would like to make a modest request to financially support the upcoming
GRASS GIS Community Sprint Prague in May 2012.

Important Web pages:
http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_Community_Sprint_Prague_2012

We are planning the second edition of the GRASS GIS community sprint.
The GRASS Community Sprint is a great occasion for folks to support
the development by actively contributing to the source code,
manuals or likewise. The community sprint is a get-together for
GRASS project members and supporters and related OSGeo projects
to make decisions and tackle larger problems. For this meeting,
we welcome people committed to improving the GRASS GIS project and
the interfaces to QGIS, GDAL, PostGIS, R-stats. Sextante. GvSIG,
OGC Services and more. This includes developers, documenters,
bug reporters, translators and other OSGeo supporters. Not only
the "C Tribe" will be addressed but also Python or whatever the
participants prefer.

Following the
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Code_Sprint_Guidelines
we have prepared attached questionnaire.

We hope that our request can be decided upon already at the
next board meeting.

Thanks in advance,
Markus Neteler
