 * Projects with a plan may of course ask for increased funding
 * This is a budget, representing planned spending in 2020 - actual balance available to each PSC (from fundraising, donations and sponsorship) may be considered when planning.
 * If a project did not respond (or runs into an unforeseen expense) please contact the board throughout the year as budgets can be amended

Projects that are also in incubation can ask the Incubation Committee for spending approval from the Incubation Committee approved budget. See notes column for actual budget approval per project.

= Events =

Community Events
We have set aside a budget for community events in 2020:


 * Supporting community building events is distinct from the development focused code-sprints below
 * We are inviting community members to contact us about events (rather than try and adjust their event to fit into our code sprint guidelines)
 * OSGeo is is focused on our outreach goals as an organization as such our primary contribution to events is free software and enthusiasm rather than finical, we use funding to enable our members rather than for sponsorship and visibility.
 * Please note our financial guidance document

Code Sprints
We have asked project teams for guidance to help set our code sprint budget:


 * Please note our financial guidance document ask for event details, budget and fundraising on your part.
 * Out priority is to share the risk with organizers allowing access to funds early to book facilities as required
 * Code sprint budget is structured carry funds from one event to the next allowing us to hold more code-sprints with a smaller annual budget.
