Use GSoC student mobility grant at FOSDEM geospatial devroom
This item is a request from Margherita to the Board. Unfortunately due to lack of time and long agenda it was not discussed today.
I think we need to vote on this topic here, since the deadline in Dec 1st.
Does anyone need more information before we vote for approval?

I think this is pretty clear case, so we can vote to approve.

Abstain as I am a GSoC admin.

Reading the email chain I am a bit muddled on how much money is available and what it can be used for. I appreciate the clear background information for context.
My understanding is we have $500 per mentor, this is a single request to sponsor one student (to represent and OSGeo activity at a non OSGeo event so perhaps not covered by global travel grant program).
I would recommend we approve this single request, and then provide any remaining GSOC funds to global travel grant program to assist with student travel next year.
