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 (2019) 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 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

Events

Community Events

We are considering setting 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.
• Previously we have had requests to fund a "community day" or "community sprints" as part a larger event as distinct from sponsorship, the have been funded to the best of our ability

Event Request	2019	2019 Actual	2020	Notes
QGIS Developer Meeting and User Conference	3,000	0	0

Code Sprints

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

• Please note our Code Sprint Guidelines 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.

Sprint Request	2019	2019 Actual	2020	Notes
OSGeo Code Sprint		0	0	No financial request made yet, event planning is well under way.
GeoServer Code Sprint	2,000	0	0
PostGIS Code Sprint	-	0	0
