I haven't received any specific requests for the 2020 budget. I guess that =
means
we don't have a big need for outside funds at the moment. I'll put in a req=
uest
for 1000 USD for miscellaneous procurements during 2020.

Subject: [PROJ] Budget for 2020

All,

The OSGeo board is asking projects to submit their budgets for 2020 [0]. Th=
is is the
first time PROJ is able to receive funding directly from OSGeo. Since we be=
en able
to run without a budget for 30+ years I don't expect that we need much this=
 year
but I would encourage you all to suggest ways we can improve the project by=
 means
of OSGeo funding. Initially 2000 USD is allotted all projects but projects =
are allowed
to request more or less than that. I expect that we will fall in the "less"=
 part of that
statement. Especially since our main expenses are continuous integration an=
d git-lfs
support on GitHub, both of which are planned to be covered directly by OSGe=
o as
they are cross-project costs.

I have a few suggestions myself:


1.      Payment for proj.org  - as far as I know this is done on a charity =
basis by either Howard Butler or Paul Ramsey

2.      Maintenance of project infrastructure such as continuous integratio=
n, GitHub bots, etc. Things break from time to time and fixing them is ofte=
n times very tedious. A candidate for this category would be establishing a=
 new backporting bot since the old one stopped supporting our use cases.

3.      Travel expenses for code sprints or FOSS4G

4.      Merchandise - we've got a new logo, I think that it is only fitting=
 that it get put on stickers!

The budget has to be submitted by January 13th [1] so please don't hold you=
r suggestions back to long.

Best regards
Kristian
