Hi,
I’d like to propose we sponsor GDAL as part of OSGeo:UK GoFundGeo. GDAL underpins so much geospatial software. Further details here: https://gdal.org/en/stable/sponsors/.
Given the levels I’d suggest we look at the Supporter level at $1000.
Kind regards,
Matt Walker

Every year around November we use surplus funds from FOSS4G:UK
conferences (and other funds) to support Open Source Geospatial
software projects that will have an impact in the UK. We usually have
around £5000 to support a variety of projects, and have done
previously each year since 2022. For more details of the projects we
have supported, please see https://uk.osgeo.org/gofundgeo.html.This year we have a budget of £6,000 and will be making the decision
about which projects we support in early December. Come along and
have your say!We are looking to use this money to fund relevant projects in the
range of £500 - £1000 each that will benefit UK users.We would like to hear from you - what project(s) do you think we
should fund?We are making this as simple a process as possible, so please submit
your ideas to osgeouk@gmail.com by Sun 30th Nov 2025. We will need a
short paragraph that covers what is being funded, why it is useful,
who will do it and how much you are applying for. We will share these
to the email list around Tue 2nd Dec, for discussion at our meeting
in early December.We have funding guidelines
(https://uk.osgeo.org/fundingguidelines.html) and briefly we only
fund open source projects, our preference is to support discrete
pieces of work, or to meet specific sponsorship levels, and we are
focused on items that will benefit the UK community.We will discuss the submissions at our meeting in early December, and
decide which ones to fund.We are hopeful again to get support from the RGS-IBG GIScience
Research Group who have previously provided funding of £250 to
support GoFundGeo projects.If your organisation is interested in supporting GoFundGeo with a
donation, please email osgeouk@gmail.com.If you have any questions, or need any more information please see
the website https://uk.osgeo.org/gofundgeo.html or email
osgeouk@gmail.com.Best wishes,
