[FOSS4G-Oceania] Travel grant program - call for ideas

[John Bryant]

For convenience, the link to Adam's doc is here
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/17n-p7QY7MBan9heiYev6i6EyXLkHVRps3Y1kgyT3gjg/edit#>.
I've put down a couple of comments in the doc re: criteria etc.

Re: accom, I'd suggest we stay out of being directly involved in shared
accommodation arrangements, but could point to the discuss list for
attendees to make their own sharing arrangements (good idea Martin). If we
just provide a modest $ amount for accommodation assistance, people will be
incentivised to seek their own ways to find cheaper accom.

On the amount we're offering... perhaps we have a 2 tier approach, where
tier 1 is close to the full amount required (including flight, accom, conf
ticket, and visa), and tier 2 is more of a subsidy (free ticket and a few
hundred dollars). Could potentially add a 3rd tier which is just a ticket.
In any case, if we have specific tiers on the table we have a little more
to discuss (dollar amounts, # of grantees).

Hey Alex - we should get back into budgeting mode, tally up likely
sponsorships & sales, and figure out how much we can likely allocate to the
TGP.

Is it reasonable to suppose we could ask for & receive matching $ funds
from OSGeo? eg if we put up 10 tickets and $5000 could we ask for a
matching amount of $5000?
