OSGeo Projects
OSGeo Projects each have a project steering committee, the chair of which is acknowledged as a foundation officer.
Notes:
- Anita has organized initial to collect feedback from all PSCs concerning planned event sponsorship requests:
- 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. This is setup to help carry funds from one event to the next allowing us to hold more code-sprints with a smaller annual budget. This also shares the risk with organizers allowing access to funds early to book facilities as required.
