[SAC] budget 2017

[Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)]

Hmm,

Makes me think of another silly idea.  Why not make the System Admin tasks into it’s own project like the OSGeo LiveDVD.  Could incorporate the idea of regular get togethers over the year for solving the hard stuff, could use OSGeo funds to seed the start at the very least.  It instantly adds some organizational structure by being a project, etc.  Oooh, I wonder how many committees this might work for . . . .

Maybe this is a silly idea, but I thought I’d share it anyway :)    :c)

I think also you/we could consider something like a "SAC sprint", to tackle some of the tougher issues together.  Sometimes meeting face-to-face helps get through these issues, even if just throwing ideas back and forth.

In response to the board request, I'd like to propose that for 2017
we request budget for infrastructure consolidation, maintainance
and growth.

Example of things that should be addressed:

- Upgrading TRAC to latest release
  https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1816

- Adding LDAP support to the wiki
  https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/165

- Mailman "message held" form action is http
  https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1677

- Add backup for tracsvn:/home/git/gogs/data
  https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1657

- Setup more VMs for testing new services

Previous years budget can be found here:

The 2016 one is still unspent, btw, due to lack of decision upon
the second sysadmin contract (which I proposed as a agenda point
for a never made september meeting: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/SAC:Sep2016)
I'll make a motion for that part.

I think 2017 could benefit from a further raise in budget,
starting from 15K. What do you think ?
