<div>== Where 2.0 Discussion ==<br />
<br />
We discussed the OSGeo presence at Where2.0 this week. The group felt that we were doing a good job of this. We have <br />
<br />
* a keynote<br />
* a good sized booth<br />
* a developer round-table<br />
* an OSGeo BOF scheduled<br />
<br />
We discussed and agreed to have a set of people we have arranged for people to staff the BOF and the developer roundtable.<br />
<br />
== Budget Discussion - Need $285,000 to $520,000 ==<br />
<br />
We discussed two sets of budget items. One was the idea of an "Executive Director" who would represent OSGeo on a full-time basis to make sure we are fulfilling the OSGeo mission and priorities.<br />
<br />
The priorities have been discussed on the board list. For focus, we limited our discussion to the top five priorities, because we felt that they:<br />
* had the most impact on fulfilling our mission<br />
* included the greatest number of operational expenses that would be required<br />
<br />
In summary, we will need to raise between $275,000 and $520,000 to be effective in carrying out the priorities as expressed by the OSGeo community since its inception four months ago in Chicago.<br />
<br />
We broke the discussion into two discussions about:<br />
# The hiring of an executive director.<br />
# The budget required to implement the top five priorities we've identified.<br />
<br />
