I have spent some time to reconstruct some years of budget in the Wiki
(we have all as Google docs but I wanted to create summary budget
pages):

* https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_GIS_Budget_2016
* https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_GIS_Budget_2015
* https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_GIS_Budget_2014

They need to be reviewed (in my time zone it is too late now :-)

At time everybody :-)

Martin posted the link to the budget table:
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-psc/2016-February/001430.html


to give a thumbs up on the request before the PSC
can vote. Otherwise, we risk voting yes on too many proposals...


OK, I think Martin and me can do that, we check finances regularly anyway.


Maybe this thumbs up should be noted on the wiki page before the request is
sent to the list ?
Or the people requesting the funding should send the
request to the financial responsible who then sends on the request to the
PSC list with additional info about the state of finances.


Well, I get your point.

I could generate a new email alias like e.g. grass-treasu...@osgeo.org
pointing the PSC chair (currently me) and Martin Landa (account
holder) and any other interested PSC member.
Makes sense?

Then we could amend our procedure accordingly. I see the advantage
that this list would not be flooded with requests which we could
finance anyway.

Hi PSC,

here at the current community sprint in S. Michele, Italy, we
discussed a more formal procedure (adopted frrom the FOSSGIS e.V,
www.fossgis.de) approach:

In essence, a written request for funding is needed by compiling a
Wiki page following a template which is then to be sent to the PSC
list for approval or not. For details, see

https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Community_Sprint_Funding#Procedure_to_request_Community_Sprint_funding

Comments are of course welcome.
