[Board] Fwd: Re: Request for funding for Geo4Africa CodeSprint 2017

[Venkatesh Raghavan]

Dear Board,

I am forwarding my mail interaction with Daniel regarding
support for Geo4Africa Code Sprint.

Daniel has agreed to the terms as below;

Total Amout of support from OSGeo for Code Sprint: $4000USD
Direct Support: $2000USD
Support on 50% "Risk Sharing" basis: $2000USD.

Regarding "Risk sharing", the amount to be refunded to OSGeo after the 
code sprint
will depend on surplus (or shortfall) generated from organizing the code 
sprint.

The OSGeo logo will be displayed on the Code Sprint page after the board
passes the motion to support the codesprint.

I will also start a thread on loomio to facilitate voting on the motion to
support Geo4Africa code sprint.

Best

Venka

Yes, that is a correct summary of the terms put forth.
I would also like to request for the OSGeo logo to
be displayed on the Geo4Africa page.

I will table a motion to the OSGeo board and inform you
once it is passed. We could move on further with fund transfer
and acknowledgement of OSGeo as code sprint sponsor after
that.

If you need some printed marketing materials (sticker, brochures etc.),
please contact the marketing committee on their mailing list
(https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing)
