No, the overhaul of the website was not part of the SAC budget.
Our budget was:
Server replacement of osgeo3 ~$6,000
Maintenance & Service contracts ~$9,000

That could include the setup of software necessary for new web infrastructure, but the paying of an outside vendor to actually make the new site I assumed would be in the Marketing (or whoever took over webcom).

Yes, we will ask SAC for someone to sit on the EOI/RFQ. Who is in charge of that so I can make the connection, or can you share an email with SAC asking for the volunteer?

Thanks,
Alex

Budget for 2017 looks to be approved (have to remaining board members to
vote).

Since we did not hear from Alex I sent some details to the SAC email list:

*Doubling back to this thread after recent budget discussion/questions. The
board set a goal of redoing the website presence in 2017 (RFQ,content
migration,etc...). It was unclear if the 15K request from SAC took this
into account or not?*

** Marketing committee has volunteer to run an EOI/RFQ process for an
external vendor to do the work (see
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Marketing_Meeting_2016-12-30
<https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Marketing_Meeting_2016-12-30&gt;\).*

** Although we reached out to Alex Mandel it was unclear if the 15K request
from SAC took this initiative into account?*

*Since it was unclear we have penciled in 8K for SAC as part of
budget/fundraising target. The draft budget
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2017
<https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2017&gt; has the high level outline.*

*Should fund raising target be met by end of January go/no-go the final
budget for SAC would be 23k. It would be great if a member of SAC could be
involved in the EOI / RFQ process (and present for the go/no-go decision).*

Hi Alex,

There are some questions regarding the SAC budget for 2017.
Could we arrange some IRC meeting to discuss?

Thanks,
Angelos
