Oggetto: Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G Academic Track: deadlines extensions

Dear all,

We are now working to put proposal for GeoForAll budget and OSGeo student awards at FOSS4G conferences are important way for us to support excellent students. It will be great to have these awards given at FOSS4G Dar.

My suggestion is  that 7500 USD in the budget is kept for OSGeo student awards at FOSS4G  conferences (global or local). These awards will be decided and given by the FOSS4G LoC. But before we make this request to OSGeo Board , I would like to know if FOSS4G 2018 LOC  in Dar Es Salaam will like to give Student awards (max 3500 USD in total for global event) and is there anyone in the LOC willing to coordinate this. Unless there is someone in LOC willing to do this, we cannot make this possible. If there are any other FOSS4G local events happening in 2018 and wish to give student awards , the LOC can contact the GeoForAll mail lists informing their interest and contact person and we can plan to allocate the rest (maximum 1000 USD per local event - so maximum 4 local events will be supported per year)

My question is - Is there any one in FOSS4G 2018 LOC and local FOSS4G conferences happening in 2018 interested to give student awards and willing to be point of contact for this. Ideally, if the LOCs can match fund this with external funding the better for expanding impact .

Please let us know asap, so we can make an informed decision. thanks.

Best wishes,

Suchith
