Here is where the budget currently stands: 43k

30k approved by board
5k approved by board (8k to cover risk due to communication from SAC)
0k marketing carry over from 2016 (budget meeting rejected this idea)
5k marketing committee budget, sacrificing some 2017 goals
3k sponsors

Here is the target: 50k

35k approved by board
5k approved by board (8k to cover risk due to communication from SAC)
0k marketing carry over from 2016 (budget meeting rejected this idea)
5k marketing committee budget, sacrificing some 2017 goals

As noted in the meeting this budget reflects a sponsorship target of 5k; this is based on some verbal agreements (but as always reflects a risk until we invoice). What we can do to help here is reach out to organizations that we know that are interested in OSGeo performing more outreach.

Would you prefer to close this and re-open with the amendment we voted on the board meeting or move to another motion?

Angelos Tzotsos March 2nd, 2017 16:04

Basically the amendment is what Venka proposed "The extra 5k would be reallocated from the board travel budget to the website/re-branding budget"

Angelos Tzotsos March 2nd, 2017 20:13

I am going to close the last proposal and re-open with the amendment we voted.
