Dear Open Geosescience committe members
(https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Open_Geoscience_Committee#Members)

in view of the OpenGeoscience committee mandate and objective
of interfacing the OSGeo communities and other geoscience organisations, I
would like to propose to allocate *1300 USD* as part of
Open_Geoscience_Committee/budget_2018
<https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Open_Geoscience_Committee/budget_2018> to
connect with OGRS community at OGRS 2018 symposium by means of organizing
an OSGeo Townhall (networking event [1]) , as follow:

*Budget*
Venue rental cost: none
Catering cost: 700 USD
Promotional material: 100 USD (Posters/flyers promoting OSGeo)
OpenGeoscience Award: 500 USD (see
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_OpenGeoscience_Award_2018)

Proposed budget allocatin  is:
- 800 USD from the not used budget for EGU townhall (used 1,400 USD out
of 2,600 USD)
- 500 USD for award from unforenseen costs

*Expected Audience Size*
50 - 80 people (guesstimate from 2016 attendance OGRS numbers)

[1] Townhalls are hosted in the evening following the conclusion of all
scientific tracks. The events last one hour and usually have presentations

discussion among the attendees. During this phase, refreshments are
provided to ensure a lively and convivial atmosphere.
