Maning, I’m hopeful that you will keep your spending to your
budget of $421, but have allowed an approval buffer of up to $450
in case some items cost more than quoted.

have one banner. The reason is that if you need to

professional image. With the extra budget that you save, you
may wish to purchase other items, such as shirts, or

Daniel, (OSGeo Treasurer),

Can you please weigh in on Maning's question.

The marketing committee has approved Maning spending up to $US450 to spend on a Philippines chapter marketing pack.

I assume that Maning should email scanned receipts to yourself as OSGeo chair, then collect the refund.

This also triggers me to ask another question. Should the marketing committee be asking the board to approve specific payments such as this? Or is the marketing committee within its mandate to approve spending within its allocated budget and mandate?

Hi Cameron,

Thank you for CC'ing me directly as I do not always follow the marketing list closely.

As a first step, I would suggest that the Marketing committee chair record the decisions from the Marketing committee allocating money to local chapters in the following wiki page:

http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2012

And then with respect to Maning's questions, once we have a ref to the Marketing committee decision, I'll need scanned copies of receipts for the amount to be reimbursed, as well as banking info for the wire. This can be emailed directly to me at treasurer@osgeo.org.

Finally, I don't think the Marketing committee needs to get all their expenses approved by the board one by one as long as they are within their pre-approved budget (5k$ in this case).

Daniel, (OSGeo Treasurer),

Can you please weigh in on Maning's question.

The marketing committee has approved Maning spending up to $US450 to
spend on a Philippines chapter marketing pack.

I assume that Maning should email scanned receipts to yourself as OSGeo
chair, then collect the refund.

This also triggers me to ask another question. Should the marketing
committee be asking the board to approve specific payments such as this?
Or is the marketing committee within its mandate to approve spending
within its allocated budget and mandate?

Maning, I'm hopeful that you will keep your spending to your

However, as

advice from someone who has attended conference stands, I
suggest that

you only

have one banner. The reason is that if you need to
fly/taxi/bus to a conference, then it is much easier if you
only have one stand. And one stand still provides a
professional image. With the extra budget that you save, you
may wish to purchase other items, such as shirts, or
LiveDVDs. However, I will leave you to make the final
decision. Let me

know your

thoughts before we put it to the marketing committee for a

Hi Maning,

I found and added the ref to the Marketing committee decision for your Exhibition Pack in the budget wiki page at http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2012 so the next step will be to send me your scanned receipts and bank info for the reimbursement to treasurer@osgeo.org.

Basques_Bob_CI-StPau · October 15, 2012, 2:29pm

All (sorry this got long),

So I asked for some help (money) for a previous Conference that just finished up from the OSGeo Marketing committee. We were able to find local sponsors for everything in the end so it wasn't a big deal that we didn't get anything from marketing at the time.

So now I'm starting to think ahead as a consequence. We have a few opportunities at some related conferences leading up the FOSS4GNA2013 conference to promote OSGeo and FOSS4G. We only have a limited amount of sponsorship available (much of which was used in this recent conference) and spreading the available funds out appropriately to gain the biggest bang for the buck is proving a challenge.

So some questions (before I ask for money), what's the best approach to promotion that should be taken leading up to these conferences. I know the local area fairly well and can get the word out to the locals with some sort of budget, but this type of work doesn't seem to be regularly discussed on these lists. I'm all about getting and introducing new people to FOSS4G myself, but should I (and other conference promoters) be focusing on known attendees instead, especially based on the notion that there is next to nothing available for promotions budgets being considered for conferences (This is a whole other conversation that I will gladly get into if someone want to start up a thread)

One of these local conferences is coming up on Dec 4-6 that we can get a cut rate on a booth (we have a non-profit willing to step in to get the cut rate and share the booth). This is not the only conference between now and the FOSS4GNA2013 conference either. So, on to the asking for money, is the money doled out based on conferences individually, do I need to compile a list, or ?? My immediate thoughts would be to use anything from OSGeo as seeding money, or matching funds for conferences.

Anyway, you see where I'm going here. I'm just trying to elevate the promotions side of things a bit. And being able to reuse materials and booth setups more than once seems like a good investment in promotion resources in my mind, vs doing one offs. I'll admit, that I'm just getting started on this stuff and trying to figure out a path to future sponsorship drives (Does OSGeo do this type of thing all in the background??), etc.

Related to this, where is a good spot to write a up a page about past conferences to promote things, should this be somehow a news item of some sort with a link to the writeup?? I'll admit to being ignorant about where and how we should be selling/announcing the stuff that's already been done but I think it should be captured in some form. BTW, I don't have a problem with just going and adding to feeds and such (once I figure the process out) but I think a list of what could/should be done on a per event basis might be good, does this exist somewhere?

Thanks

Bobb

All (sorry this got long),

So I asked for some help (money) for a previous Conference that just finished up from the OSGeo Marketing committee. We were able to find local sponsors for everything in the end so it wasn't a big deal that we didn't get anything from marketing at the time.

So now I'm starting to think ahead as a consequence. We have a few opportunities at some related conferences leading up the FOSS4GNA2013 conference to promote OSGeo and FOSS4G. We only have a limited amount of sponsorship available (much of which was used in this recent conference) and spreading the available funds out appropriately to gain the biggest bang for the buck is proving a challenge.

So some questions (before I ask for money), what's the best approach to promotion that should be taken leading up to these conferences. I know the local area fairly well and can get the word out to the locals with some sort of budget, but this type of work doesn't seem to be regularly discussed on these lists. I'm all about getting and introducing new people to FOSS4G myself, but should I (and other conference promoters) be focusing on known attendees instead, especially based on the notion that there is next to nothing available for promotions budgets being considered for conferences (This is a whole other conversation that I will gladly get into if someone want to start up a thread)

I think the org as whole is a promote what you want to promote
mentality. The cohesive portion we have is the templates ready for
printing of materials.

Please do start threads about any of these sub-topics.

One of these local conferences is coming up on Dec 4-6 that we can get a cut rate on a booth (we have a non-profit willing to step in to get the cut rate and share the booth). This is not the only conference between now and the FOSS4GNA2013 conference either. So, on to the asking for money, is the money doled out based on conferences individually, do I need to compile a list, or ?? My immediate thoughts would be to use anything from OSGeo as seeding money, or matching funds for conferences.

Right now we only provide funds to get a local chapter an Exhibition
pack (pop-up banner, table cloth and maybe a few shirts).

Other conferences are considered on a case by case basis, though the
only one we've consistently done as OSGeo is the AAG (10,000 people
moves around the US). We are fairly unlikely to provide funds for local
conferences, though a match system might be useful.

Anyway, you see where I'm going here. I'm just trying to elevate the promotions side of things a bit. And being able to reuse materials and booth setups more than once seems like a good investment in promotion resources in my mind, vs doing one offs. I'll admit, that I'm just getting started on this stuff and trying to figure out a path to future sponsorship drives (Does OSGeo do this type of thing all in the background??), etc.

Sponsorships are tough and completely left to the local groups to figure
out. In fact if you find good sponsors, you might want to encourage them
to sponsor OSGeo as a whole (of which some funds directly help your
chapter) as they would get their logo on the OSGeo website and possibly
on some materials (OSGeo Live) which could give much wider exposure.

Related to this, where is a good spot to write a up a page about past conferences to promote things, should this be somehow a news item of some sort with a link to the writeup?? I'll admit to being ignorant about where and how we should be selling/announcing the stuff that's already been done but I think it should be captured in some form. BTW, I don't have a problem with just going and adding to feeds and such (once I figure the process out) but I think a list of what could/should be done on a per event basis might be good, does this exist somewhere?

OSGeo wiki under your local chapter activities. You can also tag the
pages with the Events and Marketing category tags. That's at least how
the California chapter does it. For large events we make wiki pages for
each and link them to our chapter.

Thanks

Bobb

Thanks,
Alex

Alex,

Hmm, I'm surprised there is not a Blogging setup for this type of thing. Even a one pager describing the events for posterity would be good.

I figured things were going to need to go the solo route though. I understand about the promotions side and even the getting folks to contribute to OSGeo as a whole. But realistically, the donations garnered from these events are a couple of hundred at a time, from different vendors, and to be truthful, I think the appropriate place to add these sorts of donation specifics is to some sort of blog or event bio. Larger sponsorship seems to be keyed towards particular projects anyway. I could make a case that projects joining OSGeo should have some sort of promotions aspect in place as a general business guideline as well, which was one of those other threads I was talking about.

Thanks Daniel,
I've updated our approval process to update your budget wiki:

It would be good to have your input on the process.

Hi Cameron,

The process seems fine to me. My only question is whether the OSGeo Treasurer should really have to vote and have veto rights on the allocation of funds. Unless other members of the board have a different opinion, I think it would be perfectly fine to let the committee decide between themselves on how they use their yearly budget. Anyway, if suspicious expenses were ever submitted, the treasurer could always report them to the board and let the board take action if necessary as the ultimate authority.

What do you think?

My reasoning think feeling (quite strongly) that the treasurer has veto is that the treasurer might know that there are insufficient funds, or that there is an expensive cost in the pipeline that needs to be considered.

Done, but there wasn't a way to add any notes about the event, or should they be added to the wiki as well. We had some pictures from the event as well showing the Booth and such. Just wondering.

That works for me then. Please don't hesitate to ping me directly if there is ever a vote on which I am not responding, as I do not always follow the Marketing list closely (just too many lists to follow).
