Move Geomajas to OSGeo Heritage Project status
- Motion open on Loomio: https://www.loomio.com/d/4lkxncvF/motion-to-move-the-geomajas-project-to-osgeo-heritage-project - Motion approved
- Jeroen discussed with Dirk Frigne about the status of the Geomajas project. He has indicated that the project is inactive and contributors have left for quite some time already.
- Decision to move the project as a Heritage OSGeo project
- ACTION: Marco to search ways to best archive the project and get in touch with SAC.
OSGeo Budget 2024
- https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2024
- The requested budget is not in line with previous years and also not realistic from a financial perspective. We need to revise the requests.
- OSGeo is still to receive money from Florence FOSS4G. The sum is not exactly known at this time.
- Given the increase in the SAC budget, which is necessary for the entire OSGeo to run, we could consider having a sponsorship dedicated campaign.
- Decision on the SAC budget: we consider the same amount as last year, and then revise it once we have received outstanding income from the FOSS4Gs.
- Regarding the Marketing Committee budget, the sum requested is to high given the available budget. The decision is to approve the same amount as last year and revisit once we received outstanding income from previous FOSS4Gs conferences.
- The planned FOSS4G 2024 seed money remains in the budget, even though we should get it back.
- Regarding projects, they have been asked to consider sponsorship within their annual financial needs. The board has decided on a maximum 2.5k USD for each project, due to the tight budget of OSGeo. For projects that have not yet requested a budget, they get 1k USD allocated by default.
- Discussion and budget approval moved to next meeting
