We would like to request three prizes, each to the value of USD 3,000. The number of prizes and amounts are based on previous years, however, we understand that 2020 was a difficult year and that there could be budget constraints because the conference could not take place.

We plan to arrange the OSGeo Educational Challenge similarly to that in 2018 [1] and 2019 [2], for which the material is now available on the OSGeo Wiki, see e.g. [3], [4] and [5]. The challenge supports the objectives of the OSGeo UN Committee [6], i.e. promoting the development and use of open source software that meets UN needs and supports the aims of the UN. For various reasons, we were not able to arrange the challenge in 2020, but we are planning to have the next one in 2021. Vicky Vergara has already expressed interest in mentoring a challenge related to developing training material for pgrouting. The other two challenges are planned on topics related to COVID-19 (with QGIS) and Geo Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI), a topic of interest in the UN Open GIS initiative.

== OSGeo Projects ==

OSGeo Projects each have a project steering committee, the chair of which is acknowledged as a foundation officer with spending authority on behalf of their committee.

Notes:

* We have reached out (2020) to the projects mailing list with a default suggestion of 2000 for any project that responds
* Projects with a plan may of course ask for increased funding
* This is a budget, representing planned spending in 2021 - 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

== Community Events ==

We have set aside a budget for community events in 2021:

* 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 [https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/blob/master/board/documents/osgeo_financial_guidance.pdf financial guidance document]

* Please note our [https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/blob/master/board/documents/osgeo_financial_guidance.pdf 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.

We would like to request three prizes, each to the value of USD 3,000. The number of prizes and amounts are based on previous years, however, we understand that 2020 was a difficult year and that there could be budget constraints because the conference could not take place.

We plan to arrange the OSGeo Educational Challenge similarly to that in 2018 [1] and 2019 [2], for which the material is now available on the OSGeo Wiki, see e.g. [3], [4] and [5]. The challenge supports the objectives of the OSGeo UN Committee [6], i.e. promoting the development and use of open source software that meets UN needs and supports the aims of the UN. For various reasons, we were not able to arrange the challenge in 2020, but we are planning to have the next one in 2021. Vicky Vergara has already expressed interest in mentoring a challenge related to developing training material for pgrouting. The other two challenges are planned on topics related to COVID-19 (with QGIS) and Geo Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI), a topic of interest in the UN Open GIS initiative.

== OSGeo Initiatives ==

OSGeo initiatives have formed to pursue a specific short term, or long term goal. Initiatives maybe formed by a committee or the board as required. Initiatives are a great way to collaborate with projects, committees and partners.

* FOSS4G - event series produced in collaboration with the conference committee and local chapters
* GeoForAll - education and research program produced in collaboration with our partners
* Incubation - mentor program for open source projects to be recognized as OSGeo project
* Local Chapters - board outreach initiative establishing regional OSGeo groups for direct grassroots advoacacy
* GSoC - coordinate participation in google-summer-of-code and code-in activities
* Travel Grant Program - provides assistance for attending OSGeo events

= Projects =

== OSGeo Projects ==

OSGeo Projects each have a project steering committee, the chair of which is acknowledged as a foundation officer with spending authority on behalf of their committee.

Notes:

* We have reached out (2020) to the projects mailing list with a default suggestion of 2000 for any project that responds
* Projects with a plan may of course ask for increased funding
* This is a budget, representing planned spending in 2021 - 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

= Events =

== Community Events ==

We have set aside a budget for community events in 2021:

* 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 [https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/blob/master/board/documents/osgeo_financial_guidance.pdf financial guidance document]

== Code Sprints ==

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

* Please note our [https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/blob/master/board/documents/osgeo_financial_guidance.pdf 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.

=== Title: OSGeo & Google Code-in 2017/2018: a great success to introduce students into the geospatial Open Source community ===

After participating many years in the Google Summer of Code, OSGeo recently participated for the first time in the Google Code-in. Google Code-in is a contest held each year to introduce pre-university students (ages 13-17) to Open Source software development. Since 2010, over 4500 students in 99 countries have completed work in the contest. Students compete to win prizes of certificates, t-shirts, hoodies, and a possible free trip to Google headquarters in California, U.S.

Because Google Code-in is often the first experience many students have with Open Source, the contest is designed to make it easy for students to jump right in. Open Source organizations chosen by Google provide a list of tasks for students to work on during the seven week contest period; each task should take only 3 to 5 hours to complete, and can involve not only coding but also important community work such as documentation, outreach, communication, quality assurance/testing, and user interface design. A unique part of the contest is that each task has mentors from the organization assigned, should students have questions or need help along the way.

OSGeo administrators began working on OSGeo’s first application to Google back in early November. It was a huge undertaking, as mentor organizations create hundreds of tasks for the potentially thousands of students to work on during the contest period and are responsible for assigning mentors to help students with questions and to review students’ work on the tasks.

OSGeo mentors and admins prepared 176 tasks related to its geospatial projects like GeoForAll, GeoServer, GRASS GIS, gvSIG, MapServer, OpenLayers, OSGeoLive, pgRouting, and QGIS.

This year’s contest was held from 28 November 2017 until 17 January 2018, and had almost triple the number of students of the previous year. A total of '''279 young students completed 649 tasks for OSGeo''' (530 students in total examined OSGeo tasks). OSGeo students were from many countries including: India, Poland, Pakistan, Thailand, United States, Russia, Germany, Cameroon, Singapore, Spain, Romania, UK, Vietnam, Dominican Republic, Turkey, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Canada, and others. The students were guided and supported by a great team of OSGeo mentors.

OSGeo’s GCI mentors and admins evaluated the results of the students according to the following factors: creativity, thoroughness, and quality of work. An additional criterium was the contribution to the community by interacting with and helping others.

OSGeo is pleased to announce the Google Code-in '''Grand Prize winners''' (who each receive a free trip to Google headquarters, along with a parent/guardian) are students:

* '''Sunveer Singh''' (India)
* '''Jerry Huang''' (United States)

OSGeo’s Google Code-in finalists (who receive Google hoodies) are:

* '''Ethan Zhao''' (United States)
* '''Neev Mistry''' (United States)
* '''Shailesh Kadam''' (India)

See here: https://codein.withgoogle.com/winners/#winners the winners from all organizations.

OSGeo wholeheartedly congratulates the winners and finalists. We also thank all students working on OSGeo’s tasks for their great contributions to the OSGeo community.

All this wouldn’t be possible without the guidance by our mentors. OSGeo is deeply grateful for their hard work over 2 months of the contest. We are also grateful to Google for welcoming OSGeo into the contest as a GCI mentoring organization for the first time.

This has been a magical and fun experience, seeing the enthusiasm of the students for OSGeo, and how that fun trickles through the entire community. Thank you to everyone involved.
