== SIGTE - University of Girona (2014 Testimonial) ==
As a global assessment, we must admit that we are pretty happy about the overall behaviour of the OSGeo-Live. We have been using it in most of the Spanish FOSS4G workshops, covering a broad range of issues and themes such as GIS Desktop Workshops (QGIS, gvSIG, GRASS, PostGIS and pgRouting, ... even JASPA), Programming workshops (Integration of geospatial free technologies, Introduction to python for geospatial applications, programming new applications for Sextante, ...), Web Applications Workshops (Introduction to MapProxy, Developing Web Applications with AngularJS and Leaflet, OpenLayers and GeoServer, ...), and other specific workshops such as the integration of OSM data + imposm + TileMill, ...
We generally don't need to install extra packages and libraries but, if need it, we can do it without arising too many problems. So, in general terms, there are no remarkable problems installing new pieces of software.
Sometimes the tricky issue is that the host pc has low RAM memory, so we can't assign more than 2Gb, to the virtual machine. But, I suppose that this has nothing to do with the OSGeo-Live.
We have intensively used the OSGeo-Live to conduct the whole Summer School each July, with a pretty good performance. Sometimes, we had some troubles with few machines (slow performance, some crashes, etc...) but without a clear and concrete reason. Just happens. :)
However, during this edition we encountered a problem with OpenJump and PostGIS. Each time we tried to configure a new connection to a PostGIS database, OpenJump started to freeze...
Regarding to the datasets, we have been using Natural Earth data and OSM data included on the distro, as well as some external datasets. Nothing to mention in here. Good performance in every sense.
Last but not least, within the UNIGIS MSc framework, we really encourage students to make use of the OSGeo-Live DVD for their assignments and practical work. UNIGIS is a online MSc so sometimes, it's a little bit difficult to help students to properly install and make use of the OSGeo-Live virtual disk. This could take some time but nothing specially relevant. The big issue, for those who are not familiar with a new OS, is to not enter in a state of panic the first time they see a linux environment in front of their eyes... alone :) In a face-to-face courses, this is more easy to handle than in an online course but with a little bit of patience and positive attitude, this is not a barrier.
In summary, using OSGeo-Live virtual disk has a double positive result: discovering and working with foss4g, as well as discovering a new OS.
Thanks to all the OSGeo-Live crew for their work and passion. Good job!
All the best,
Lluís Vicens

== Notes ==
* All amounts are in US dollars.
* FOSS4G revenues and expenses are netted out to anticipated profit.
* The budget presumes gaining one new sustaining sponsor (50K), one new sustaining sponsor (10K) and four new associate sponsor (12K). 
* The dependence of the above budget on $72K in new sponsorship in 2009 means we could easily drop into a serious deficit situation if these objectives are not met. The Finance committee feels that the Marketing portion be restricted such that only half may be spent in the first half of the year, and that a budget review be held at the half year point to consider adjustments. 
* It is anticipated that the foundation will carry reserves on the order of $150K over from 2008.

OSGeo Budget 2016

=== Operational Budget for 2016 ===
Thanks to our sponsors, and a series of successful events, OSGeo does have an operational budget for 2016. 
The Board has divided the above budget up according to our priority as an organization. Please keep in mind that prior boards have taken this approach - and spent nothing due to lack of volunteers willing to lead the charge. The following is budget and does not represent a commitment to spend money on the actives listed - to do that we need your help as a volunteer!
Board meeting 11/2/2016	Amount 	Jan–August	Sept–dec	(Budget Increase)	Notes
1. Admin 	9.000,00 	6000 	3000 	(4500) 	administration overhead
2. Insurance 	3.200,00 	2133 	1067 	(0) 	
3. SAC 	12.800,00	9633 	3167 	(10800) 	infrastructure and online presence
4. Outreach 	15.000 	12500 	2500 	(13000) 	starter kits, LiveDVD/USB, Marketing, OSGeo Student Awards
5. Travel 	15.000 	7500 	7500 	(11000) 	director & president travel - facilitate interaction with external parties (UN, OGC,...)
6. Events 	20.000 	10000 	10000 	(11000) 	OSGeo internal (townhall, codesprint, ) and external (e.g.. ISPRS, EGU, GWF...) events
Total 	75.000 	47.766 	27.234 	(50.300) 	This represents a 50k increase on last years budget
Notes and clarifications:
* This is the 2016 operating budget for OSGeo, prior to this baseline being set the board established a $150k floor (allowing for a year of minimal operating expenses ($50k) and two failed foss4g conferences ($50k x 2). 
* This is the 2016 operating budget for OSGeo, it does not cover:
** Recurring events budgets that have kept sponsorship from year to year (some of these funds are held by regional foss4g groups)
** Multi-year costs associated with our annual FOSS4G conference.
** Project budgets (OpenLayers, MapServer, ...) are under their direction of their associated PSC.
* OSGeo stepped down from playing an active role during our application for US 501(c)(4) status - we are now ready to take on this responsibility for committees and projects.
* If your project or committee is interested in fundraising for an activity please ask the nearest board member for details on how we can help.

OSGeo Bylaws

Original document moved to official site:

 working document
The bylaws no longer cover everything the foundation is doing (process for board re-elections, local chapters, sponsorship relations, status of charter and regular members) and ideally they should.
Our bylaws are also default corporate boilerplate and User:JoWalsh Jo thinks it would be great to have a human-readable version that actually reflects what we are doing, we can be later translated into attorney-speak, rather than something legally perfect but not actually mapping to what we are doing. 
== Names of people interested in helping to update the bylaws ==
* Jo Cook
* Frank Warmerdam
== References: ==
* http://www.apache.org/foundation/bylaws.html - more corporate boilerplate, quite minimal. Not a model approach for us.
* http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/Eclipse%20BYLAWS%202003_11_10%20Final.pdf - Eclipse worked out a lot from others' experiences. This also covers a lot of the woolier membership issues. Verbose, but perhaps nesc. to be complere.
* http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/documents/mf-bylaws.pdf Mozilla foundation bylaws - somewhere in between.
* http://www.okfn.org/governance/ - the Open Knowledge Foundation is also renewing its governance process and has a much lighter weight approach but still taking into account the necessities of legal responsibility of officers/directors etc
