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

Proposed initiatives:

  • security - proposed emergency funding for osgeo projects confronted with disruptive security issue. Application similar to code-sprint requires both a solid budget and a formal CVE report to work against.
  • opengis harmonization - proposed response to #142 coordinating required activities across projects (rather than as individual budget requests listed below).
OSGeo Initiatives 2022 Approved 2022 Actual 2023 Draft Notes
FOSS4G (66,796) 0 (56,478) Seed money for 2023. Not accounted in the total budget, since they are expected to return after the conference.
Local Chapters 0 0 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 4,002 0 Managed by board.
Travel Grant Program 15,000 3,997 15,000 Managed by Conference Committee. Recommendation: 10k for FOSS4G 2023, 5k for local events
Events and Code Sprints 20,000 6,768 20,000 Managed by the board. Funding to help organize OSGeo Code Sprint and other events
Board note: we have ~15k from code sprint sponsorship at the bank, needs to be reflected here. An idea is to list the code sprint sponsors as OSGeo sponsors for equal amount (to acknowledge their contribution/patience).
Community Projects 5,000 300 5,000 Managed by the board since community projects do not have an assigned officer to handle their budget. We have around 30 projects expected in 2023.
Board note: Budgeted 300$ for each project. To be amended if we hit the ceiling of the budget.
opengis.org namespace fix 0 0 15,000
[20,000]
Board note: Need to discuss with Apache and OGC, perhaps reach out to sponsors or run a fundraising effort.
10k initial funding approval + 5k for potential projects affected after the initial goal is achieved.

Total Initiatives Budget for 2022: $40,000 USD

Total Initiatives spending for 2022: $15,067 USD

Total Initiatives Budget for 2023: $55,000 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 (2022) to the projects mailing list.
  • Board decided to assign a default budget of $500 for any project that has reported to the board within the year.
  • Projects with a plan may of course ask for increased funding
  • This is a budget, representing planned spending in 2022 - 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 Projects

Community projects act through the board as they do not have a project officer. Board approved $300 for each project (see Community Projects Initiative above)

Some guidance is offered by individual projects below.

Please note that this table records budget requests, not approved budgets.

  • Community Projects can ask the Board for spending approval (since they do not have a Project Officer) from the approved Community Projects budget.
  • Projects that have been accepted into the incubation program can ask the Incubation Committee for assistance to work on incubation (such requests are included in the incubation committee budget not here).

Events

Community Events

We have set aside a budget for community events in 2022:

  • 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 financial guidance document
Event Request 2022 Approved 2022 Actual 2023 Draft Notes
QGIS Developer Meeting and User Conference 0 0 0

Code Sprints

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

  • Please note our 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.
Sprint Request 2022 Approved 2022 Actual 2023 Draft Notes
OSGeo Code Sprint 15,000 TBD TBD No financial request made, seed and sponsorship money exists from previous years.
Bolsena Code Sprint 0 TBD 3,000 To lower the cost of participants that join this years 2 weeks code sprint we kindly request a contribution to the code sprint. This contribution will be used to cover part of the booking cost.
