Luis,

Thank you for your suggestion.

I don't think there is an issue on the number of attendants. And I think
your question is a valid question. I think the board should discuss now
and take a decision using the guidelines there are. Eventually improving
the guidelines as a side result.

Personally, I think you should try to find some sponsors amongst the
companies supporting the platform and earning ervenue with it. Also the
clients having the benefits of the work should consider sponsoring.

For OSGeo it is very difficult to promote one project over another. In
that way a code sprint open for all the projects should receive more
support than a one project initiative. (but this are only my personal 2c).
Another approach could be to distribute the budget amongst all the OSGeo
projects, who then decide on their own what to do with the budget. In
that case, I think your initiative should be elegible for funding. But
if we want this, we should change the directives, Jody pointed at.
