Community Sprint 2023 de-briefing

• It was a great code-sprint; Positive interest by the audience.
• It worked well to have a conference in parallel to attract an audience to drop by.

• Surplus of about 4000$ USD for the next code sprint.

ZOO funding request

• https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/zoo-psc/2023-October/000920.html
• Issue: ZOO-Project made a budget request in 2023 to the incubation committee and in the meantime it got graduated. ZOO-Project does not have an approved 2023 budget, but can request for a budget in 2024.
• ACTION: (All) Board needs to come up with an action to either:
  • Approve this budget request as a new request (budget amendment), or
  • Dismiss this request and assign a 2024 budget as a graduated project.
