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.
• Code sprint funding is setup to help carry funds from one event to the next allowing us to hold more code-sprints with a smaller annual budget.
• Out priority is to share the risk with organizers allowing access to funds early to book facilities as required
• We had requests to fund sprints that were part of larger events, these escaped our 2017 planning but were still funded to the best of our abilities

Sprint Request	2019	Notes
OSGeo annual code sprint
GeoServer
PostGIS Code Sprint	3,000	In support of venue/event or travel for committer to other OSGeo code sprint

These funds are approved as part of the board budget for 2018.
