Hello Markus, hi PSC,

regarding our surplus from 2019, does the item "Travel grants for
community sprints: 1043.09 EUR" summarize all costs for both events in
Berlin and the Prague (including food, drinks, etc.) ?


I am not sure where this number came from.
The figure was added by Moritz:
https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/w/index.php?title=GRASS_GIS_Budget_2019&diff=26007&oldid=26006

@Moritz Lennert could you pls add how it was calculated?


The total corresponds to all expenses of the Berlin Community Sprint,
travel grants, but also other expenses. Should these be separated ?


I guess so, or we rename the entry. Ok, given the time we have I have
just renamed it for now.

[...]

The Praque Sprint is not included, yet.


@Martin pls enlighten us. Is there a table? I darkly remember some
figures having been sent to this list.



The figures have been sent to the list. There was a discussion whether 
the cost of buying stickers, etc should be part of the sprint budget, or 
not. Thus there has not been an official vote by the PSC, yet, and the 
money has not been sent to Martin.


Therefore, the actual reimbursement will happen in 2020 so I guess it 
will be part of the 2020 budget, or ?



I guess at one point we have to decide on a bit more systematic
accounting and budget definition procedures. I just quickly cobbled
things together when they were needed by OSGeo-EU.


I agree.
For now I have reworked the Wiki pages and added an USD column since
that is the currency we have to report to the OSGeo board.


Great, thanks!




Now that I've learned
today that I was officially a treasurer, I'll have to find some time to
put things in order, but don't know when that will be...


We might actually discuss and vote about this role :-)



Good idea.

Moritz

[GRASS-PSC] proposal: winGRASS 32bit versions - phasing out in 2020

[Helmut Kudrnovsky]

dear GRASS PSC,

a few days ago, I've asked in the GRASS user ML following question [1]:

*winGRASS - still a need for 32bit versions?*

reasoning:

- 64bit computer architecture and 64bit windows operating systems are very
common
- 32bit computer architecture and 32bit windows operating systems will find
their EOL

and the important reasons:

- reduce the high maintenance burden to keep 2 build environments of
winGRASS (32bit, 64bit) alive
- facilitate to find possible (automatic) alternatives of winGRASS build
environments beside the actual MSYS2/OSGeo4W workflow  

so far, no feedback by the community that there is still a need for a
winGRASS 32bit version.

thus I propose:

* phasing out of winGRASS 32bit versions in 2020
* communicate early and communicate often ;-) about this phasing out

in my original post, I've suggested  'middle next year (2020 July 31)'

it can be discussed if it should happen at middle next year (2020 July 31)
or end of year 2020; though IMHO it should happen... ;-)

any feedback? any suggestions?
