[Board] FOSS4G-Asia 2024 TGP Request

[Dr. Sarawut Ninsawat]

Dear OSGeo Board Members,

This year, the OSGeo Thai local chapter is organizing the FOSS4G-Asia 
2024 conference (https://foss4g.asia/2024/). We are excited to bring 
this event back to Thailand, having first hosted it in 2014. It is also 
a significant milestone as it marks 20 years since the term FOSS4G was 
first coined in early 2004 by a research group working on the 
internationalization of GRASS and MapServer.

In line with our commitment to fostering diversity and inclusiveness 
within the FOSS4G community, we are planning a Travel Grant Program 
(TGP) to encourage representation from across Asia. This program aims to 
build and strengthen connections within our diverse community by 
supporting participants who might otherwise be unable to attend.

We kindly request that the OSGeo Board contribute $3,500 USD towards 
this Travel Grant Program. Your support will be instrumental in ensuring 
the success of the event and in continuing to grow our community.

Thank you for considering our request. We look forward to your positive 
response. Please let me know if you have any questions or need further 
information.

Best regards

Sarawut

Representative Thai OSGeo Chapter
