[Board] GeoStyler CodeSprint

[adams at osgeo.org]

Dear Board,

the GeoStyler project is planning a one-week codesprint and we'd like to
request for support at OSGeo.

In the following we present our plan for the GeoStyler codesprint
following the OSGeo guidelines [1]:


**-- Request for support of the GeoStyler Code Sprint 2023 --**


**Basic Information**

The GeoStyler Code Sprint takes place from 08-12 of May 2023 in Bonn.

Audience:
So far, 10 people registered for the code sprint. Based on last year's
event, we expect around 10-15 people joining the sprint. Especially for
2 of them we require funding for travel/accommodation.

Region:
The code sprint will take place in Bonn. There is no restriction for
participation. Even though, the code sprint is intended to take place
on-site, people are also welcome to join online.

Project:
We will mainly work on the GeoStyler project. If during the spring ideas
for adaptions on other OSGeo projects arise, we will also work on them
or contact the community of the concerned projects.

Length:
The code sprint is planned for a full week (5 days).

Venue:
The code sprint will take place in the rooms of the company of
terrestris. There are no costs for the venue.


**Expected Budget**

The prospective budget will be as follows:

- Travel costs (1 person from India and 1 person from Ireland, approx.
1.500 US$)
- Accommodation costs (2 persons for 6 nights each, approx. 960 US$ / 12
x ~80€)
- Social evening (food & drinks for up to 12 persons, approx. 400 US$)
- Drinks during the day (sponsored by terrestris)
- Venue (no costs, inside office of terrestris)

**Profit**

We do not plan any profit for this event. If there is more funding than
money needed, we will call for less support from OSGeo. We see low risk
for incurring a loss. If there is no funding, it might be that the
external developers may not show up and the participants will pay the
socializing for themselves.



We have the question, whether we should publish the budget explicitly or
is providing it on this mailinglist sufficient?

If there are any further questions,do not hesitate asking us,

Till and Jan
