[OSGeo-Discuss] [Board] Funding code Sprints

[Hogan, Patrick (ARC-PX)]

Maxi, Dirk and All,

For WorldWind’s part, we are more the marathon type or at least 10k, otherwise known as ‘in it for the long haul’ versus sprints or hackathons.

And we would dearly appreciate any OSGeo budget that might be made available, please!

This would go exclusively to student winners of the Europa Challenge.

Kind regards,
-Patrick

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).

Dear all,
the fact that made me rise this discussion is:
- we are facing more and more sprint code support requests (really really great)
- we do have limited budget (we may not be able to support all the requests)

So, how to prevent, for example, that a request in September for a very strategic sprint code is not funded because all the money were already spent?
Shall we have a call for sprint code with defined criteria of selection so that all the projects are aware of this possibility and knows the rules?

This was my concerns...

Best,
Maxi

Correct. The current going rate is about 15¢ or 10p.
