Subject: [geomoose-psc] December PSC meeting
Message-ID: <CAFVrPyh14M-F13jjfRXRKGfMoiFtRQj7p-Mh2qqbFJ0=Cd3=hg@mail.gmail.com>

Howdy PSC folks,

I believe we discussed moving up the December PSC meeting by a week,
however, it looks like that did not get recorded in the minutes, so I'm
unsure if we will get a quorum if we hold a meeting today. I will open up
the channel just in case.

The only order of business is the budget, which is basically already
agreed. It would be good to get any remaining +1 votes on the record so
that we can close that thread and then the plan is to submit our line item
to the OSGeo budget by COB today.

The budget thread to remind you, is here:
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/geomoose-psc/2025-October/001172.html

We currently have +1 from Jim, Eli, Jeff, and myself. If anyone else is
able to add a +1 today that would be welcome.

thanks for helping with this last task of 2025!

best,
Tanya

Hi all,

This outlines the budget process this year, similar to previous years.  We may want to revisit this old email thread, https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/geomoose-psc/2025-October/001172.html

Does anyone want to make an annual report for 2025?

Best regards, Eli

Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Budget 2026

Dear OSGeo Members, Projects and Committees,

OSGeo is proud to support our committees, initiatives, and growing
number of projects. We have been pleased to see funding applied to day
to day operations, improvements and a wide range of community building
activities including events, code sprints, developer meetings and user
conferences.

Our continued ability to offer financial support is due a successful
FOSS4G 2025 and the generosity of our ongoing sponsors.

OSGeo Committees

To plan our 2026 budget, we are reaching out to all OSGeo committees to
help plan for the year ahead.

As our budget forecasting includes communicating with sponsors we ask
you to list any sponsorship opportunities you are aware of for 2026. We
realize that asking for funding can be difficult.  Please be clear with
each sponsorship opportunity, and the visibility benefit you are able to
offer sponsors.

Examples:
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/SAC:Budget#2023

OSGeo Projects

Each year we are pleased to welcome new graduated projects to OSGeo. The
Board starts planning by providing a set amount to all graduated
projects who have:
1.Reported to the Board their activities of the last 12 months (e.g.
during the AGM or directly to a Board meeting); and
2. Have sent a budget request.

Funding allows each project committee to plan ahead, and support their
team activities without hesitation.

Keep in mind that if any unforeseen event occurs during the year we are
here to support you. Project teams have approached the board during the
course of a year to respond to security vulnerabilities, or request
legal advice, that was not anticipated during budget planning.

Projects with a more specific plan (to pursue a clear goal) are welcome
to send a more detailed budget. Larger goals should be presented as
clear sponsorship opportunities to your community, and OSGeo will do our
best to help out as well.

Tip: Keep in mind OSGeo goals as an organization. We love to support
community participation, or a cross-project code sprint.

https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/GeoTools-2024-Sponsorship-Opportunities
https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_GIS_Budget_2023


OSGeo Community Projects

Projects working on incubation are asked to contact
incubator at lists.osgeo.org to be included in the 2026 incubation budget
request.


Budget Meeting

To help navigate the uncertainties ahead in 2026, the Board will have a
budget meeting in January 2026 to review 2025 expenditures, sponsorship
and make financial decisions for the 2026 budget.

Please add your project info to the budget draft at:

https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2026

Budget requests should be submitted ideally by 15 January 2026 in
advance of our next Board meeting.

On behalf of the OSGeo Board,
Angelos
