Marketing Committee Budget 2026
OSGeo Budget
Proposed Budget 2026
The following draft is for discussion.
Support: Marketing committee does not seek out and provide many explicit examples for sponsorship in our capacity as an outreach organization.
We do not wish to compete with general OSGeo sponsorship, or the regional events which we are supporting. Support is primarily sought with in-kind contributions from our OSGeo community. As example: Promoting USB sticks as paid for by a specific sponsor creates a competing sponsorship with the regional event sponsors providing USB sticks.
