[OSGeo-Discuss] [Board] Funding code Sprints

[dirk frigne]

Maxi,

I think we can solve that concern by divide the budget in 2 parts:
Assumption that we know already the really strategic code sprints for 2016.
(like the FOSS4G codes sprint in Bonn)

>From past years the board  can make a good assumption what the budget
for the strategic code sprints should be, and reserve that for these
activities for 2016. The second part can be allocated to new and ad-hoc
initiatives following a RFP.
(and in 2017 we can have several periods with RFP's so we can
instantiate a continue process).
