[Qgis-psc] [Projects] [Board] OSGeo Budget 2020

[Tim Sutton]

Thanks Anita, hi Angelos

I wonder if 4k is a sufficient amount for OSGEO4W maintenance. I suspect that a lot more effort goes into it each year than that. Maybe @ Jürgen you could confirm or propose a different, more realistic amount to adequately support OSGE4W maintenance if applicable?

Regards

Tim
