Folks, One of the working functions required by OSGeo is a means to raise money to support it's operations and potentially to support work on foundation projects. To that end the Fundraising Committee was created several weeks ago by the board. In order to focus on incubation efforts, I have put off launching the fundraising effort in earnest, but I feel the time has come to do so.
To that end, I am looking for folks interested in participating in the fundraising committee. This participation would include developing policies (for recommendation to the board) on fundraising, and also to actually go out pursuing funding of various kinds for the foundation. It is anticipated that the fundraising committee will launch a sponsorship program, and that this sponsorship program will have a mechanism for sponsors to identify sponsored projects and contribute a portion of their sponsorship funds directly to support that project. Those OSGeo projects that are interested in pursuing such project support should ensure that a project representative is active on the fundraising committee. As with most committees, those not prepared to commit a substantial amount of time to participate can still join the mailing list, review the wiki and web pages, join IRC meetings and provide feedback. At a later date I also anticipate coming back to the broader community to generate leads for potential sponsors. The web page for the committee is at: https://fundraising.osgeo.org/ The Wiki page (with meetings, working docs, etc) is at: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Fundraising The mailing list is at: https://fundraising.osgeo.org/servlets/ProjectMailingListList Best regards, -- ---------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- I set the clouds in motion - turn up | Frank Warmerdam, [EMAIL PROTECTED] light and sound - activate the windows | http://pobox.com/~warmerdam and watch the world go round - Rush | President OSGF, http://osgeo.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
