[Marketing] OSGeoLive 2019 budget request

Committees Marketing
1

Dear Marketing committee,

On the behalf of the OSGeoLive project, I would like to present its proposal for 2019 budget available here:

https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeoLive_Budget_2019

This projected expenses are funding of community events and advertising like stickers, tshirts and USB keys.
This budget will be also use for the project development, as we would like to port OSGeoLive on the cloud and help our translators with machine translation, so part of the budget will be used for those purposes.

If the OSGeoLive is requested to provides USB keys to conference as suggested, we’ll probably need to ask for an advance for those unexpected costs.

Thanks for considering this request.

Best regards,

I don’t think it matters which group (marketing or osgeo live) gets the budget so long as it goes to the activity. i think they will be used at more conferences if OSGeo creates them rather thank asking each conference for funding?

If OSGeoLive is willing to coordinate a run of bootable sticks for the events we can adjust the budget appropriately. While we tentatively put aside budget for this (
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Marketing_Committee_Budget_2019) the board meeting was cutting back anything tentative I order to try and pass a reasonable budget.

So let me ask is this something OSGeoLive (or marketing) would be willing to offer events? It occurs to me we could also ask for sponsorship for this activity.

Hi all,

It seems I send the request to the wrong comitee (Marketing instead of Board).
I’m sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards,

Nicolas Roelandt
