Here are some ideas to get us started. Happy for anyone to pick these up and run with them. If you do, please let me know otherwise I may raise some myself:
*Design and production of a series of leaflets. * I really liked the Wikimedia leaflets that were handed out at the OSM UK AGM in London. We borrowed the style to create a leaflet in advance of the MOVE 2020 conference. This one is corporate focused and hence we could do with a series of leaflets targeting different audiences (Wikimedia had 2 leaflets at our AGM). *Costs related to hosting.* I'm pretty sure quite a few people would appreciate this. *Software projects.* I'm hoping we can come up with a few ideas here too. Personally I am finding myself using my laptop less and less and doing a lot more on my phone. A few of the OSM websites I use don't work that well on mobile so it may be nice to see some changes here. I'm expecting others to have much better ideas than me here though! :-D - *Merchandise (swag) to recognize exceptional volunteer contributions, or low-cost swag.* - Subsidizing the cost of the hi-vis jacket scheme run by OSM UK. - *Funding for shared mapping equipment.* - What about a drone? Some bike and car mounts to help us collect more Mapillary / OpenStreetCam imagery? That's my starter for ten. Looking forward to seeing your ideas.
