[MapServer-dev] Proposal: OSGeo Budget 2026

[Seth G]

Hi all,

The deadline for budget requests is fast approaching. See https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2026
The page includes the line "Board decided that the maximum amount per project this year cannot be more than $2,000 USD." Rather than requesting more than this and having to revise the budget again later. I propose we submit a request for:

- $1,000 for codesprint and workshop attendance
- $1,000 for release manager support

If funds are required for emergency operations such as vulnerabilities, I think we should make a request to the board as and when needed. As mentioned by Mike in a previous thread, there have been no sponsorship funds for MapServer for the last 2 (maybe more) years. 

The 2025 budget proposal can be found at https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/wiki/MapServer-2025-Budget

I'll start with my +1. 

Seth
