[Marketing] OSGeo Marketing Budget 2021

Committees Marketing
1

Hello Marketing Team,

we have to discuss the Marketing Budget for 2021

This is what we proposed for 2020 and a lot of it we did not use:
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Marketing_Committee_Budget_2020

So what are our plans for 2021

I created a draft wiki page.
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Marketing_Committee_Budget_2021

Shall we discuss virtual or make a quick meeting on budget before January 18?

Dear OSGeo project members and committees,

Over the previous years, OSGeo has been proud to support a growing number of project events, such as community/code sprints, developer meetings, and user conferences. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, most OSGeo events in 2020 were held as virtual events.

OSGeo is reaching out to all committees, including Project Steering Committees, to help plan our budget for 2021.

In 2020, the Board assigned an initial amount of 2000 USD to all graduated projects who have reported to the Board the last 12 months (e.g. during the AGM or directly to a Board meeting). This year the Board is planning to continue to offer a budget to all graduated projects with the exact amount to be determined.

Due to cancellation of events in 2020, we are not in a position to allocate and spend as much as we did in previous years.

To help navigate the uncertainties ahead in 2021, the Board is planning to have a budget meeting on 18 January 2021 to review 2020 expenditures, sponsorship, and make financial decisions for the 2021 budget.

Please send your detailed requests for approval (see detailed budget requests from 2020 e.g. GeoServer Budget 2020 - OSGeo)

We would like to ask you to help us with budget proposals to assist your project. This will help us set aside a realistic amount of funding.

Please add your project info to the budget draft at:

https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2021

ideally by 17 January 2021 in advance of our next Board meeting.

When making a budget request please keep in mind the vision and goals of our Foundation, along with any obligations you wish to meet.

Thank you.

On behalf of the OSGeo Board,

Angelos

Hi Enock,

it should be earlier as the 18th as the board meeting will be on the 18Th (see mail).

So let's think about a different date in the week before.
