(Merge and update the funding and budget sections)
 
We encourage standardization and shared efforts between projects by bringing together developers with similar interests. This work also includes responding to emails and directing people at other people or appropriate resources.
 
=== Funding ===
 
The EWG is working towards a first round of funding for work on OSM software. We’ve compiled a [[Engineering_Working_Group/Project_Funding_Framework|Project Funding Framework]] to guide our selection and funding process.▼

== Spending and eligible projects ==
== Prospective budget ==
 
Like other [[Working Groups|working groups]], the EWG submits annual budget requests to the OSMF board.
Our first budget will outline further detail, and is subject to change after the [[Working_Groups|Working Group]] forms and we have initial meetings.
 
As a rough long-term guidance, we aim for the following spending breakdown:
* Estimated 50k initial budget, same scale as [https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/File:Microgrants_working_document_snapshot_2020-01-13.odt the trial run of microgrants in 2020].
* 50% of funding to core OSM software used to edit OSM or OSM-specific software run on the OpenStreetMap website
* 30% of funding to OSM quality assurance and analysis tools and OSM-specific software in common use (category name to be determined)
* 20% of funding to consumer-facing OSM software and new software
 
All code written must be open-source and available without charge.
 
▲The EWG is working towards a first round of funding for work on software from the OSM softwareecosystem. We’ve compiled a [[Engineering_Working_Group/Project_Funding_Framework|Project Funding Framework]] to guide our selection and funding process.
We would like to budget for administrative assistance for meeting minutes, document management, and other administrative tasks and believe this is best handled through existing contracts the board has in place.
