OSGeo Budget 2017

== Operational Budget for 2017 ==
Thanks to our sponsors, and a series of successful events, OSGeo has an operational budget for 2017.
The Board took a different approach to the 2017 budget, dividing up by committee. The Board has reached out to each committee for guidance on their 2017 requirements. 
* Annual Budget for 2017: OSGeo operational budget for 2017
* Website/Rebranding Amendment: Website/branding reboot budget request
* Travel Grant Budget Amendment: OSGeo Travel Grant 10+10 proposal
Please keep in mind that 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!
