<p>Dear list!</p>
<p>Great to get so much feedback - that was my intention ...;-).
OSGeo's CC is alive!<br>
</p>
<p>I will try to figure out a draft based on all the comments today
or tomorrow. Maybe we decouple the call for TGP and the decision
process. We can discuss the 2nd and then setup a chapter on the
WIKI.</p>

<div>I wrote and deleted a long post which said
effectively +1 to Mark’s comments. The very
short version is that air travel is pretty much
the only way to get around much of Oceania, and
as such needs to be an option (cruise ships are
another, but very dirty also).</div>

<div>+1 to a lot of what Mark said. Mark (and the Dar
LOC) certainly set a high standard for what the TGP can be.
I was certainly glad to help a little bit on that process
(and seeing how much the TGP had grown since some of our
efforts in PDX was humbling - nice work). But again these
are criteria that will be set by the LOC running that
individual TGP.</div>

<div>I’m struggling a little with Eli’s idea of
funding based on expected conference attendance.
Again, in Oceania conferences might not be huge
but TGP support costs are high. I’d preference
assessment on a case by case basis (ie the
conference LOC puts up a proposal, it is
assessed - but proposals all have to be
submitted in the open), with maybe some work to
develop guidelines around ‘if you live in region
X, plan around cost Y per TGP funded attendee’.
Of course, this is prima facie unfair because
it’s a lot cheaper to support a TGP attendee in
Tanzania than it is in Oceania. Food for
thought/further discussion.</div>

<div>My suggestion was intended as a general starting
guideline and not intended as rigid. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Oceania (or other regions) can certainly make their case
for why their portion should be multiplied by Z. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, different regions may be able to support a
different number of TGP recipients based on various
factors. I've made cases for TGP recipients very near (and
costing very little) as well as very distant with poor
transportation connectivity (and costing a sizable portion
of the total TGP but there were not going to be
closer/easier FOSS4G events for them in the near future, but
maybe they would be the seed that grows FOSS4G there). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hopefully we take a reasonable approach that is open to
reason, revision, and flexibility and gets better over
time. </div>

<div>…and of course, a fine rebuttal would be
‘work harder on sponsorship/fundraising! There’s
money in the region, extract it!'</div>
