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
- Meta CRS - interoperability initiative promoting data sharing with cross project spatial reference system compatibility
- Open GeoScience - outreach and advocacy geoscience community
- GSoC - coordinate participation in google-summer-of-code and code-in activities
- Travel Grant Program - provides assistance for attending OSGeo events
| OSGeo Initiatives | 2019 | 2019 Actual | 2020 | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FOSS4G | 0 | 0 | 0 | Managed by Conference Committee. Seed money for 2020 will be allocated by the board when estimate numbers become available. |
| Local Chapters | 5,000 | 2,000 | 0 | Managed by board, considering putting aside money to help establish local chapters (for logistics, legal advise, kickoff meetings rather than any sponsorship or direct funding) |
| GSoC | 0 | 3,909 | 0 | Managed by board. |
| Travel Grant Program | 25.000 | 14,813 | 25,000 | TGP, 50-60% for global event, rest for regional events. LOC's are expected to raise matching funding from sponsors or delegates and provide free conference passes. |
| Events and Code Sprints | 15,000 | 4,087 | 0 | Managed by the board. Funding to help organize OSGeo Code Sprint and other events (e.g. QGIS User Conference, PostGIS Code Sprint, GRASS GIS Community Sprint etc.) |
| Community Projects | 15,000 | 0 | 0 | Managed by the board since community projects do not have an assigned officer to handle their budget. We have around 23-25 projects expected in 2020 (see list below). Budgeted 500$ for each project. |
Total Initiatives Budget for 2019: $60,000 USD
Total Initiatives Budget for 2020: $TBD USD
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 | 3,000 | 3,000 | for QGIS developer meeting Bucharest 2019 |
| FOSS4G SotM Oceania Community Day | 1500 | 1500 | 1500 |
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 | |
| GRASS GIS Community Sprint | - | 1,170.30 | 2,000 (TBD) | details at GRASS GIS Budget 2020 |
