Hi Seth,
thanks for putting that together. The 2 topics (workshop and CITE tests)
look like excellent topics to be budgeted.

Hi all,
I've created a draft page for the budget at
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/wiki/MapServer-2024-Budget
I've also created two wiki pages for two items I'd like to work on next year,
and to request some funds to help set aside time to work on them. Both were
discussed with other members of the PSC at the recent OSGeo Community Sprint:
A new MapServer Workshop, see details at
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/wiki/MapServer-Workshop-2024
This would target FOSS4G Europe next year. The deadline for submission is
January 14th 2024 so it would be good to sort out a budget as soon as possible
to be able to submit. Workshops are 4 hours in length.
Automating and refreshing the MapServer OGC CITE tests - see
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/wiki/MapServer-OGC-CITE-Tests
Let me know your thoughts on the above,
Seth

Hi all,
A wiki page sounds a good start. Increased test coverage and OGC Maps
support would be two items I'd like to propose.
We could also maybe use a GitHub Discussions poll to allow users to
vote on some open issues to look at fixing?
I think any unused funds for the year remain with OSGeo and can't be
used for future years. Is it an option to get a 2023 budget approved to
avoid losing these funds for this year?
There is the OSGeo Codesprint in Vienna next week, and 5 of the PSC
members will be there so we could arrange a PSC meeting and sign things
off quite quickly.

This is a good idea and something that we haven't done in some time.
There was a 2020 budget outline
(https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/wiki/OSGeo-2020-Budget) that
was put together as an ask from the board. If I recall correctly, they
basically only allocated the normal per project amount to the project.
That's funding we've not taken explicit advantage of most years
although I don't know what happens to those $'s if they go unclaimed.
There is also a donation balance that could/should be tapped to fund
activities.

Subject: [MapServer-dev] 2024 budget planning
Hi MapServer community (devs, users, packagers, promoters, all),
I see other projects beginning early discussions on planning for 2024
budget spending. I would like to start a wiki page for the 2024 budget
for MapServer. I am planning on including those items
never-funded-yet-heavily-relied-upon-by-users such as releases,
packaging, testing/CI infrastructure maintenance, and documentation, as
well as source code contributions (in other words, including the full
dev community of MapServer in the budget).
I think 2024 is a good time to create a realistic budget for MapServer,
and then share that publicly with the FOSS4G community. I think we'd
be happily surprised that organizations are willing to support the
sustainability of MapServer. Worst-case scenario is that we have a
publicly available realistic view of the cost of keeping MapServer
reliable, secure, and fast, that we can expand upon in future years.
Happy to read other thoughts here, from everyone passionate about MapServer.
thanks!
-jeff
