OSGeo Board

OSGeo board operates according to our bylaws providing vision and direction for our foundation. The board has also taken on responsibility setting for an annual budget, building partner relationships, sponsorship program and code sprints.

Board	2019	Notes
Admin	3,000	Operational expenses including insurance, tax filing fees, accountant, bank fees.
Travel	15,000	Outreach focus
Partners and Sponsors	2,000	relationship building, attending b2b functions, foss4g/foss4ge/foss4gna/foss4g-asia breakfast meetings
Code Sprints	20,500	board responsible for handling code sprint requests, breakdown covered below
Events	10,000	Consider supporting events, to avoid confusing code sprint program above

OSGeo Committees

The following committees have been formed to fulfill out goals as an organization, each committee is provided a mandate, with the chair of the committee represented as an officer of our organization.

• Code of Conduct Committee
• Conference Committee
• GeoForAll - committee acting as advisory board for the GeoForAll Initiative
• Incubation Committee - committee providing hands-on support for project teams adopting open source principles and practice.
• Marketing Committee - outreach and advocacy support
• Open GeoScience Committee
• System Administration Committee - foundation infrastructure
• UN Committee - committee responsible for our participation in the UN Open GIS program

OSGeo Committees	2019	Notes
SAC	TBD	pending request
Open GeoScience	TBD	pending request
Conference	25.000	TGP, 50-60% for global event, rest for regional events
Marketing	TBD	pending request, not no active chair
GeoForAll	TBD	pending request
UN Committee	11,000 (tentative)	UN Open GIS Initiative Meetings (one Pilot in South Sudan and one workshop in Kazakistan = 5,000 - part of this budget can be taken from the budget that was not spent in 2018) + 2 OSGeo UN Challenge (one for preparing PostGIS training material - 3,000 - and one for computing SDGs with FOSS4G and open data - 3,000). These Challenge are similar, in the modality, to those of 2018 (https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Training_Material_for_UN_Open_GIS_Spiral_1; https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Training_Material_for_UN_Open_GIS_Spiral_3)
OSGeo Incubation	18,000	Rough breakdown of 3,000 per incubation project to be used strictly towards progress on OSGeo incubation. Note all projects in incubation have access to additional funding via the osgeo community project program. Committee itself expects no appreciable expenses.

Total Committees Budget for 2019: TBD

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. Iniativies a great way to collaborate with projects, committees and partners.

• 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
• OSGeoLive - outreach initiative providing ready-to-run osgeo software experience
• Travel Grant Program - provides assistance for attending OSGeo events

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
Bolsena Code Sprint
Small Code Sprints	10,000

Total Code Sprint Budget for 2019: TBD

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