  • it would be ideal if OSGeo takes the role of being the fiscal host
  • The OSGeo treasurer has already registered the GRASS GIS project under the hood of OSGeo in OpenCollective
    • OSGeo would take 5% of donations - perhaps 0% - to be checked by Moritz

• Marketing / presence in social media
• FOSS4G GRASS presentations
