>> Plans for FOSS4G:UK Local 2022 are developing quickly - we have a range of venues, including Keyworth. Please register online and send in your talks now! Details at https://uk.osgeo.org/foss4guk2022local/.
>> 
>> We also have scheduled the AGM for Tue 11th Oct, 12-1. We will run this online, with the link circulated here and posted online. An agenda is posted online at https://uk.osgeo.org/agm/agm2022.html, and there are a number of official agenda items we have to cover.
>> 
>> We are also going to discuss OSGeo:UK sponsorship, and this is where we want your input. As discussed at the 2021 AGM (https://uk.osgeo.org/agm/agm2021minutes.html) we have an overall budget of money. This may be in-excess of the £5k mentioned in the minutes, but is unlikely to be significantly above this. We are looking to use this money to fund projects in the range of £500 - £1000 each.
>> 
>> We would like to hear from you - what project(s) do you think we should fund? We are making this as simple a process as possible, so please submit your ideas to osgeouk at gmail.com by Mon 10th Oct. We will need a short paragraph that covers what is being funded, why it is useful, who will do it and how much you are applying for. We will share these for discussion at the AGM.
>> 
>> We have funding guidelines online at https://uk.osgeo.org/fundingguidelines.html, but briefly, we only fund open source projects, our preference is to support discrete pieces of work, or to meet specific sponsorship levels, and we are focused on items that will benefit the UK community.
>> 
>> We will discuss the submissions at the AGM, and decide which ones to fund.
>> 
>> Everyone is welcome at the AGM, so please come along to discuss which projects we should support.
>> 
>> If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
>> 
>> Best wishes,
>> Nick.
