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

[Alex Leith]

HI John

Yes, I'm in support of allocating up to $3 k for travel grants, and
including the cost of registrations in that number.

It's probably unlikely that the OSGeo Board will be able to add another
agenda item for us, but if we do want to, we really need to email them
tomorrow at the latest!

I'll find you on slack and we can talk about it.

Cheers,
