=== Election process ===

* Luis provided election results and feedback.
* What to do to have more participation on election day.
** Most people vote within the first 2, 3 days
** 60% of active members participated in elections
* Representation: gender and continent wise
* Elections advertisement
** Not necessarily on mail, but using other tools
* Potential improvements to the election process:
** nomination of charter member can be continuous
** charter members can vote on the next election, so we can run charter elections and board in parallel
* discussion about reaching out to members: email vs telegram vs FB
* charter member nomination period takes a lot of effort and should be optimized
* The board agreed to explore a new membership process in the next few months.

=== Results of election/ what it means to be a charter member ===

* Perhaps reach out to more people to explain the role of charter members (e.g. video)

== OSGeo Projects ==

OSGeo Projects each have a project steering committee, the chair of which is acknowledged as a foundation officer with spending authority on behalf of their committee.

Notes:

* We have reached out (2025) to the projects mailing list.
* Board decided to not assign a default budget this year.
* Board decided that the maximum amount per project this year cannot be more than $2,000 USD.
* This is a budget, representing planned spending in 2025 - actual balance available to each PSC (from fundraising, donations and sponsorship) may be considered when planning.
* If a project did not respond (or runs into an unforeseen expense) please contact the board throughout the year as budgets can be amended

Total Projects Budget for 2025: $18,000 USD

Total Projects spending for 2025: TBD

Total Projects Budget for 2026: TBD

== Community Projects ==

Community projects act through the board as they do not have a project officer.

* Community Projects can ask the Board for spending approval (since they do not have a Project Officer) from the approved Community Projects budget.
* Projects that have been accepted into the incubation program can ask the Incubation Committee for assistance to work on incubation (such requests are included in the incubation committee budget not here).

= Events =

== Community Events ==

We have set aside a budget for community events in 2025:

* Supporting community building events is distinct from the development focused code-sprints below
* We are inviting community members to contact us about events (rather than try and adjust their event to fit into our code sprint guidelines)
* OSGeo is is focused on our outreach goals as an organization as such our primary contribution to events is free software and enthusiasm rather than finical, we use funding to enable our members rather than for sponsorship and visibility.
* Please note our [https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/blob/master/board/documents/osgeo_financial_guidance.pdf financial guidance document]

We have asked project teams for guidance to help set our code sprint budget:

* Please note our [https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/blob/master/board/documents/osgeo_financial_guidance.pdf financial guidance document] ask for event details, budget and fundraising on your part.
* Our priority is to share the risk with organizers allowing access to funds early to book facilities as required
* Code sprint budget is structured carry funds from one event to the next allowing us to hold more code-sprints with a smaller annual budget.

The board will also plan a survey between projects to prioritize usage of current services (e.g. trac, gitea, etc) to decide which services to maintain.

OSGeo Projects each have a project steering committee, the chair of which is acknowledged as a foundation officer with spending authority on behalf of their committee.

Notes:

* We have reached out (2025) to the projects mailing list.
* Board decided to not assign a default budget this year.
* Board decided that the maximum amount per project this year cannot be more than $2,000 USD.
* This is a budget, representing planned spending in 2025 - actual balance available to each PSC (from fundraising, donations and sponsorship) may be considered when planning.
* If a project did not respond (or runs into an unforeseen expense) please contact the board throughout the year as budgets can be amended

Total Projects Budget for 2024: $28,000 USD

Total Projects spending for 2024: $17,199 USD

Total Projects Budget for 2025: $18,000 USD

== Community Projects ==

Community projects act through the board as they do not have a project officer.

* Community Projects can ask the Board for spending approval (since they do not have a Project Officer) from the approved Community Projects budget.
* Projects that have been accepted into the incubation program can ask the Incubation Committee for assistance to work on incubation (such requests are included in the incubation committee budget not here).

= Events =

== Community Events ==

We have set aside a budget for community events in 2025:

* Supporting community building events is distinct from the development focused code-sprints below
* We are inviting community members to contact us about events (rather than try and adjust their event to fit into our code sprint guidelines)
* OSGeo is is focused on our outreach goals as an organization as such our primary contribution to events is free software and enthusiasm rather than finical, we use funding to enable our members rather than for sponsorship and visibility.
* Please note our [https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/blob/master/board/documents/osgeo_financial_guidance.pdf financial guidance document]

== Code Sprints ==

We have asked project teams for guidance to help set our code sprint budget:

* Please note our [https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/blob/master/board/documents/osgeo_financial_guidance.pdf financial guidance document] ask for event details, budget and fundraising on your part.
* Our priority is to share the risk with organizers allowing access to funds early to book facilities as required
* Code sprint budget is structured carry funds from one event to the next allowing us to hold more code-sprints with a smaller annual budget.
