[Board] quick project status check and response to budget inquiry

[Helena Mitasova]

Jody,

by no response do you mean no response to the budget request? 

GRASS has been preparing the request (I am on PSC) and I asked the PSC to submit the request - if it has not come yet, I can submit it - the draft budget is here
https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_GIS_Budget_2019#Planned_Expenses

we have a larger than usual item there - we need help to cover the cost of GRASS website update,
so we had some discussion about doing some fundraising to help out with that so that might have caused the delay. I can put the request on the board budget wiki if there are no objections from the rest of GRASS PSC,

Helena

This allows the us to fund projects like MapGuide Open Source while acknowledging that they no meet as a committee. Should any of these projects step up in activity it should be easy for them to go through incubation as their procedures are already in place.
