As a response on the request by Marc on the AG in Bonn, we received a reqest for sponsoring the travel costs of a code sprint.
As there are now formal rules about which activities are eligible for sponsoring, and what are the selection criteria, I suggest to start a thread to discuss this and try to find a consensus.
My2c: the first step is to find out which committee could best be involved in setting up such criteria. The budget is there, now we should have volunteers to distribute it among the projects who need it. Maybe the incubation committee is a good starting point? Together with the suggestion of Anne to create incentives to incubate the new projects, also inactivate the existing projects to grow and become more stronger?

For future reference: We've invited the projects to submit requests for 2017 events: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2017#Draft_2017_Budget
I imagine this is only a first step to help us create a budget. So there will still have to be a proposal later during the year.
@Venka suggested a fixed schedule with deadlines every three months. Personally, I'd rather just do it two or three times a year.

On the top right of this page, you can find the "Start proposal" button, where you can make a motion for everyone to vote on.
