I'm really hopeful that we'll see some people follow through with
creating a "OSGeoLive in the Cloud" instance which could be spun up and
used during training sessions. (This could be a great Google Season of
Code topic). I think this could be done with free developer AWS
instances, but it would be good to have access to budget if required to
support a first deployment.
Also, it would be good to have discretionary funding to pay for
OSGeoLive USBs for conferences that ask for it during the year. Maybe do
a print run of 500 to 1000 USBs (That would be 50 to 100 USBs at an
OSGeo table at a conference/workshop/code sprint, for 10 to 20 events).

Hello folks,
yes - it is time to think about the budget for 2019.
I would like the idea to ask for budget to take part at the FOSS4G
Code Sprint and maybe meet with the OSGeoLive team before FOSS4G to
work on OSGeoLive face-to-face.
https://2019.foss4g.org/schedule/outline/
PS: The FOSS4G workshop committee is asking already for the OSGeoLive
version 13. So we have a new mission to get OSGeoLive ready for FOSS4G
2019 at the of August.
Angelos and I are in the workshop committtee.

Dear OSGeo project members,
Over the previous years, OSGeo has been proud to support a growing
number of project events, such as code sprints, developer meetings,
and user conferences.
OSGeo is reaching out to all committees, including project steering
committees, to help plan our budget for 2019.
This year, the board is discussing about assigning a starting budget
of 2000$ to all graduated projects who have reported to the board the
last 12 months (see https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/osgeo/todo/issues/11
[2]).
For projects with more of a plan (to pursue a specific goal) projects
are welcome to send a more detailed request for approval (e.g.
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GvSIG_Budget_2019 [3])
A good idea is to focus on OSGeo participation, for example attending
the AGM or OSGeo code sprint. Also keep in mind OSGeo goals as an
organization, (e.g. interoperability goal: CITE compliance or
participation developing new standards)
We would like to ask you to help us with budget proposals to assist
your project. This will help us set aside a realistic amount of
funding.
Please add your project info to the budget draft at:
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2019 [4]
ideally by January 14 ahead of our January board meeting.
When making a budget request please keep in mind the vision and goals
of our foundation, along with any obligations you wish to meet.
Thank you and best wishes,
On behalf of OSGeo Board,
Angelos
