[Board] community project contact draft email thread

[Jody Garnett]

So with that in mind,

Here is a draft email for feedback before we send it out:

*Subject: 2019 Community project budget*
*Good afternoon:*

*We are reaching out to the osgeo community as part of setting our
foundation's budget for 2019. As a community project we would like to know
how we can help you in the year ahead.*
*The board is managing a budget for the community project program this year
and we invite your input, either to the board email email list, or by
participating in the January board meeting.*
*--*
*Jody Garnett, Board of Directors*


And a second draft for those in incubation:

*Subject: 2019 Community project budget*
*Good afternoon:*

*The OSGeo board is reaching out to our community as part of setting the
foundation's 2019 budget. The **board is managing a budget for the
community project program this year and invites your input, either on the
board email list, or by participating in the January board meeting.*

*As incubation chair I am also putting together a budget request for 2019
and will be attending the board January board meeting. If your project has
plans to work towards graduation this year let's discuss on the incubation
list any ways we can help out financially. While the incubation committee
cannot hire someone to perform the code providence review (your team
gaining experience is part of incubation), we would be more than happy to
help your team members attend the OSGeo code sprint, or help setup a
face-to-face meeting with your incubation mentor.*
*--*

*Jody Garnett, Incubation Chair*


Feedback welcome
