== OSGeo Initiatives ==
OSGeo initiatives have formed to pursue a specific short term, or long term goal. Initiatives maybe formed by a committee or the board as required. Initiatives are a great way to collaborate with projects, committees and partners.
* FOSS4G - event series produced in collaboration with the conference committee and local chapters
* GeoForAll - education and research program produced in collaboration with our partners
* Incubation - mentor program for open source projects to be recognized as OSGeo project
* Local Chapters - board outreach initiative establishing regional OSGeo groups for direct grassroots advoacacy
* GSoC - coordinate participation in google-summer-of-code and code-in activities
* Travel Grant Program - provides assistance for attending OSGeo events
Proposed initiatives:
* security - proposed emergency funding for osgeo projects confronted with disruptive security issue. Application similar to code-sprint requires both a solid budget and a formal CVE report to work against.
* opengis harmonization - proposed response to #142 coordinating required activities across projects (rather than as individual budget requests listed below).
OSGeo Initiatives 	2022 Approved	2022 Actual	2023 Approved [Requested]	Notes 	
FOSS4G 	(66,796) 	0 	(56,478) 	Seed money for 2023. Not accounted in the total budget, since they are expected to return after the conference. 	
Local Chapters 	0 	0 	0 	Managed by board, considering putting aside money to help establish local chapters (for logistics, legal advise, kickoff meetings rather than any sponsorship or direct funding) 	
GSoC 	0 	4,002 	0 	Managed by board. 	
Travel Grant Program 	15,000 	3,997 	15,000 	Managed by Conference Committee. Recommendation: 10k for FOSS4G 2023, 5k for local events 	
Events and Code Sprints 	20,000 	6,768 	20,000 	Managed by the board. Funding to help organize OSGeo Code Sprint and other events Board note: we have ~15k from code sprint sponsorship at the bank, needs to be reflected here. An idea is to list the code sprint sponsors as OSGeo sponsors for equal amount (to acknowledge their contribution/patience).	
Community Projects 	5,000 	300 	5,000 	Managed by the board since community projects do not have an assigned officer to handle their budget. We have around 30 projects expected in 2023. Board note: Budgeted 300$ for each project. To be amended if we hit the ceiling of the budget. 	
opengis.org namespace fix	0 	0 	15,000 </br> [20,000] 	Board note: Need to discuss with Apache and OGC, perhaps reach out to sponsors or run a fundraising effort. 10k initial funding approval + 5k for potential projects affected after the initial goal is achieved.

== OSGeo Projects ==
OSGeo Projects each have a project steering committee, the chair of which is acknowledged as a foundation officer with spending authority on behalf of their committee.
Notes:
* We have reached out (2023) to the projects mailing list.
* Board decided to assign a default budget of $1000 for any project that has reported to the board within the year.
* Projects with a plan may of course ask for increased funding
* This is a budget, representing planned spending in 2023 - actual balance available to each PSC (from fundraising, donations and sponsorship) may be considered when planning.
* If a project did not respond (or runs into an unforeseen expense) please contact the board throughout the year as budgets can be amended

== Community Projects ==
Community projects act through the board as they do not have a project officer. Board approved $300 for each project (see Community Projects Initiative above)
Some guidance is offered by individual projects below.
Please note that this table records budget requests, not approved budgets. 
* Community Projects can ask the Board for spending approval (since they do not have a Project Officer) from the approved Community Projects budget.
* Projects that have been accepted into the incubation program can ask the Incubation Committee for assistance to work on incubation (such requests are included in the incubation committee budget not here).

= Events =
== Community Events ==
We have set aside a budget for community events in 2023:
* Supporting community building events is distinct from the development focused code-sprints below
* We are inviting community members to contact us about events (rather than try and adjust their event to fit into our code sprint guidelines)
* OSGeo is is focused on our outreach goals as an organization as such our primary contribution to events is free software and enthusiasm rather than finical, we use funding to enable our members rather than for sponsorship and visibility.
* Please note our financial guidance document

== Code Sprints ==
We have asked project teams for guidance to help set our code sprint budget:
* Please note our financial guidance document ask for event details, budget and fundraising on your part.

* Code sprint budget is structured carry funds from one event to the next allowing us to hold more code-sprints with a smaller annual budget.
