[Qgis-psc] Fwd: [Projects] OSGeo Budget 2020

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Anita,

How about asking for 9k €, which would be equal to a large sustaining 
membership? It would be equal to amounts of individual QGIS user groups, 
like Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Switzerland.

Does OSGeo require more specific contents / projects in the bugdet, or 
would a general "sustaining membership", that allows for flexibility, 
work fine?

Greetings,

Andreas
