Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Projects] OSGeo Budget 2022 - please send your budget requests for approval

[Jody Garnett via Discuss]

One thing to keep in mind is this is "just" a budget, a chance for projects
to predict upcoming activities and expenses and communicate with the board
so that the organisation can be run responsibly. OSGeo is also set up to
collect sponsorship on behalf of your project [1].

If a project runs into unexpected expenses please reach [2] out to OSGeo
for assistance, one reason we have a foundation is to take care of each
other.

[Suchith Anand via Discuss]

Dear colleagues,



I would like to thank you for your work and contributions for geospatial 
science. May I request that you share your latest research for the Academic 
GeoForAll Track at FOSS4G 2022. The Academic GeoForAll track is co-organised by 
the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) and the 
Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo). Please share the CfP with your 
colleagues and students. Details at 
https://2022.foss4g.org/cfp-academic_track.php



The Academic Tracks of FOSS4G conferences has been key in helping us share and 
expand Open Geospatial Science ideas globally. The full academic proceedings 
and individual papers from the FOSS4G Global conferences  [Starting from 
Nottingham FOSS4G] are available at https://scholarworks.umass.edu/foss4g/



I am grateful to all of you for your contributions for making education 
opportunities available for everyone.
