- Vashek cloned the 2024 spreadsheet and we start from there
- GRASS income:
- OSGeo: we asked for USD 5k, but we got USD 2.5k
- Opencollective: we get an average of USD 500 per year
- GSoC money: USD 1500 siting with OSGeo (permanent)
- Explanation of budget planning and general budget management.
- Dev Summit 2025: we do not plan to request money to OSGeo, because POSE will cover most of it. We have a donor for dev's fuel too :)
- Representative in AGM: we can budget smg like 3.5k and add a note that we might have someone more local so that the costs might be lower (intercontinental travel).
- Representatives to OSGeo code-sprint (within continent travel).
- Student grants: we keep it to 4, but we must promote it more. It is usually complicated for US international students as they risk their visas.
- Community grants: members of the community that apply with a specific plan.
- Marketing and Social Media: this includes Publer
- The actual request to OSGeo will be part of the total for each item.
