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

OSGeo Initiatives	2020	Notes
FOSS4G	0	Managed by Conference Committee. Seed money for 2021 will be allocated by the board when estimate numbers become available.
Local Chapters	5,000	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	Managed by board.
Travel Grant Program	25,000	Managed by Conference Committee. 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. Board note: gvSIG can apply for Travel grant here for their event.
Events and Code Sprints	15,000	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.) Board note: List of requested funding on approval inlcudes siglibre + foss4g belgium + gvSIG + GRASS + QGIS + UN events. Others are welcome to ask for funding from this category.
Community Projects	10,000	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 2021 (see list below). Board note: Budgeted approx. 500$ for each project. To be amended if we hit the ceiling of the budget.
OSGeo4W	4,000	Board note: Joint initiative with QGIS.org. Project advised to build a broader volunteer base. Incubation program can be of help in this regard.
GRASS website	6,000	Money that were to be invoiced in 2019 but need to be invoiced in 2020. This is not a roll over of project budget, just an accounting request.

Total Initiatives Budget for 2021: TBD

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 (2020) 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 2021 - 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 have set aside a budget for community events in 2021:

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	2020	2020 Actual	2021 Requested	Notes
QGIS Developer Meeting and User Conference	3,000	0	0
FOSS4G SotM Oceania Community Day	1500	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	2020	Notes
OSGeo Code Sprint	0	No financial request made, seed money exists from previous years. Event planning is well under way.
GeoServer Code Sprint	0
PostGIS Code Sprint	0
GRASS GIS Community Sprint	2,000
