Dear CC!

We just got the confirmation from the board, that we have 25k US $ in
2019 for our Travel Grant Programmes.

The idea is, that we want to dedicate 50-60% of this to the TGP of the
global event (so this year for Bucharest - in case they apply for a TGP
;-)).

The idea for the rest of the money is to give out a call to the
community, that regional events can apply also for some TGP funding,
given that they accept the application criteria (as defined in [1]).

I'd like to push out that call quite fast and give a 3 or 4 week
timeframe for organizers to apply. This gives every event owner the same
chance and we do not have a "first comes, first serves" - which
definetely would prefer events, that takeplace earlier in the year... .

In case we have more requests than money, we need a clear and
transparent decision process, which is the main task I fear.

Any comments on this or ideas on how to define a decision process?


So far, I wish you all a nice weekend!

Till



[1] Steven and John Bryant workd hard on a draft of the application
criteria
(here

)
It will go live on the OSGeo wiki over the weekend.
