Dear OSGeo project members and committees,

Over the previous years, OSGeo has been proud to support a growing 
number of project events, such as code sprints, developer meetings, and 
user conferences.

OSGeo is reaching out to all committees, including project steering 
committees, to help plan our budget for 2020.

As in last year, the board is discussing about assigning a starting 
budget of 2000$ to all graduated projects who have reported to the board 
the last 12 months (e.g. during the AGM or directly to a board meeting).

For projects with more of a plan (to pursue a specific goal) projects 
are welcome to send a more detailed request for approval (see detailed 
budget requests from 2019 e.g. 
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GvSIG_Budget_2019)

A good idea is to focus on OSGeo participation, for example attending 
the AGM or OSGeo code sprint. Also keep in mind OSGeo goals as an 
organization, (e.g. interoperability goal: CITE compliance or 
participation developing new standards)

We would like to ask you to help us with budget proposals to assist your 
project. This will help us set aside a realistic amount of funding.

Please add your project info to the budget draft at:

https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2020

ideally by Dec 30 ahead of our next board meeting.

When making a budget request please keep in mind the vision and goals of 
our foundation, along with any obligations you wish to meet.

Thank you.

On behalf of the OSGeo Board,

Angelos
