Unless anything changes in this thread I will just indicate to the board we are happy with the default 2,000 USD "operational" budget for the committee.
Seriously if anyone has an RnD or community building idea that we could help nudge along with some funding please speak up as this is a good opportunity. Personally I am perusing "running geotools workshops at regional events" but I do not require extra funding to do so, indeed I think I will run those workshops when conferences add an extra "code sprint" day since those turn into developer outreach anyways. -- Jody Garnett On Tue, 15 Jan 2019 at 14:12, Jody Garnett <[email protected]> wrote: > So the OSGeo board is proposing 2k as a starting point for each project > ... can I can confirm this is good for GeoTools? > > As for GeoTools plans: > - The 2k above should be fine to respond to anything that comes up during > the year, I assume we will have a member attending the AGM already who can > speak on our behalf. > - Last year with Java 11 was our really big / disruptive plan :) > - We could consider removing org.opengis packages (either quickly to > org.geotools.api, or on a package by package basis to the appropriate > module) > - The idea has also come up (with restriction Apache projects have in > using LGPL) to relicense the library.
