After a period of inactivity, the '''Engineering Working Group''' has been re-established by [[Board/Minutes/2021-07#Vote_to_approve_the_proposed_Engineering_Working_Group_charter|board decision on 2021-07-30]]. The group is still in its infancy and is welcoming additional members!
== What we do ==
The Engineering Working Group (EWG) is charged with
* Handling software development paid for by the OSMF
== Prospective budget ==
Our first budget will outline further detail, and is subject to change after the
* 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
* 20% of funding to consumer-facing OSM software and new software
== Meetings and minutes ==
A schedule for Engineering Working Group (EWG) meetings is still to be determined.
See [[Engineering_Working_Group/Minutes]] for meeting minutes of the EWG's [[Engineering_Working_Group/History|previous incarnations]].
