Dear OSGeo project members and committees,

Over the previous years, OSGeo has been proud to support a growing 
number of project events, such as code sprints, developer meetings, 
and user conferences.


OSGeo is reaching out to all committees, including project steering 
committees, to help plan our budget for 2020.


As in last year, the board is discussing about assigning a starting 
budget of 2000$ to all graduated projects who have reported to the 
board the last 12 months (e.g. during the AGM or directly to a board 
meeting).


For projects with more of a plan (to pursue a specific goal) projects 
are welcome to send a more detailed request for approval (see 
detailed budget requests from 2019 e.g. 
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GvSIG_Budget_2019)


A good idea is to focus on OSGeo participation, for example attending 
the AGM or OSGeo code sprint. Also keep in mind OSGeo goals as an 
organization, (e.g. interoperability goal: CITE compliance or 
participation developing new standards)


We would like to ask you to help us with budget proposals to assist 
your project. This will help us set aside a realistic amount of funding.


Please add your project info to the budget draft at:

https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2020

ideally by Dec 30 ahead of our next board meeting.

When making a budget request please keep in mind the vision and goals 
of our foundation, along with any obligations you wish to meet.


Thank you.

On behalf of the OSGeo Board,

Angelos

Dear OSGeo Community,

at the last board meeting the new elected OSGeo Board 2019 appointed the 
Executive Positions for OSGeo.


At our last board meeting (2019-12-30) the new elected OSGeo Board 
appointed the Executive Positions for OSGeo. We had a very productive 
discussion and appointed the positions with full consensus.


The OSGeo Board is pleased to announce the following executive positions 
[1]


Executive
  President: Angelos Tzotsos
  Vice-President: Vicky Vergara
  Vice-President: Helena Mitasova
  Vice-President: Victoria Rautenbach
  Vice-President: Codrina Maria Ilie
  Treasurer: Michael Smith
  Secretary: Astrid Emde

Board
 Chair: Till Adams

We are pleased to welcome the new OSGeo President Angelos Tzotsos. 
Angelos is well known in the community and active in many projects. He 
is part of the OSGeo Board since 2016 and he served as OSGeo 
Vice-President since 2018. His leadership will be an asset going forward 
with OSGeo.


We decided to accompany the OSGeo President with four Vice-Presidents to 
share all the commitments an OSGeo President has to satisfy and 
represent OSGeo at events all over the world; we therefore also welcome 
Helena Mitasova, Vicky Vergara, Victoria Rautenbach and Codrina Maria 
Ilie as Vice-Presidents of OSGeo.


The Board would like to thank Michael Smith for again volunteering for 
the role of OSGeo treasurer for another year and continuing to help 
OSGeo with financial matters.


The Board would also like to thank Astrid Emde for again volunteering 
for the role of OSGeo Secretary.


Till Adams volunteered to act as Chair of the Board. This is a 
non-executive position helping the board follow up on decisions, 
schedule meetings and keeping the board on track.


Please read the OSGeo bylaws to find out more about the Executive 
Positions [2]


We would like to take the opportunity to thank the past members of the 
OSGeo Board who all have contributed their time and efforts to help 
build up this amazing community.


We are looking forward to a great year 2020 for OSGeo and our Community 
and wish you all the best!


Best regards

OSGeo Board of Directors
