<br />
===== Abstract =====<br />
<br />
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to foster global adoption of open geospatial technology by being an inclusive software foundation devoted to an open philosophy and participatory community-driven development.<br />
<br />
The foundation provides financial, organizational and legal support to the broader open-source geospatial community. <br />
<br />
It also serves as an independent legal entity to which community members can contribute code, funding, and other resources, secure in the knowledge that their contributions will be maintained for public benefit. OSGeo also serves as an outreach and advocacy organization for the open-source geospatial community and provides a common forum and shared infrastructure for improving cross-project collaboration.<br />
The foundation’s projects are all freely available and useable under an Open Source Initiative certified open source license.<br />
OSGeo has US 501(c)(4) legal status as a not-for-profit organization supported by GeoCat and other sponsors.<br />
<br />
This year's town hall will discuss on the board the sense of cooperation between Free Open Source and Geoscientific Research. Free Open Source software and Open Data are critical elements of the Open Science framework growing worldwide.<br />
<br />
The town hall will briefly summarize the characteristics of Free Open Source Software, including the legal aspects, introducing also the essence of scientific research. <br />
<br />
We will discuss how the FOSS software and Open Data integrate into scientific research, touching the following topics:<br />
<br />
Free Open Source Software usability in research: what are the general and specific characteristics of Free Open Source software for scientific research?<br />
<br />
Free Open Source and Collaborative Development Environments. How concurrent versioning systems are changing the software development scenario?<br />
<br />
Open Data accessibility: is Open Data all the same? Are there Open more open data than others? <br />

<br />
Townhalls are "networking events" hosted at the European Geosiences Union (EGU) General Assembly (GA) for up to 350 people.<br />
<br />
EGU-wording: "Townhall Meetings are meetings open for all participants in the conference at which new initiatives or decisions are announced to a larger audience following an open discussion on the matter raised."<br />
<br />
Townhalls are hosted in the evening following the conclusion of all scientific tracks. The events last one hour and usually have presentations / announcements taking up the first 20 minutes, to allow for an open discussion among the attendees. During this phase, refreshments are provided to ensure a lively and convivial atmosphere.<br />
<br />
===== Expected Audience Size =====<br />
50 - 80 people (optimistic guestimate from 2017 attendance numbers, we got less in 2018 due to competing events)<br />
(OLD NUMBERS FROM 2019)<br />

===== Relevance for OSGeo (Draft / OUTDATED) =====<br />
how will our participation help OSGeo<br />
* Continuation and expansion of the "topical bridgehead" established within EGU by the first two OSGeo Townhalls in 2014 and 2015.<br />
* Raise awareness at and reach-out to the European geoscience community by hosting a dedicated public OSGeo event at the largest European geoscience conference.<br />
* Reach out to young scientists starting their careers.<br />
* Meeting place for people already active in OSGeo ("meta-BoF") as a large number of people congregates every year at the EGU GA.<br />
* Reach out to decision makers/elders/scientific activists within the EGU Divisions.<br />
* 2019: Culmination of the "FOSS day" at the EGU GA: The organizers are urged to to schedule all FOSS / OSGeo - related events on the same day. This will ensure we have a large audience and niceties such as "FOSS flashmobs" can be arranged for poster sessions. The "FOSS day" could and should be finished off with the OSGeo townhall, as a "multiplier/bring them all together" event.<br />
* Peaceful und friendly coexistence: Propiertary platforms including Microsoft, Google and ESRI are also staging dedicated events during EGU GA. <br />
* Awareness on the decision maker level: Significance of OSGeo within the emerging Data Science / Open Science debate ("-> OSGeo-tailored research programmes ?")<br />
<br />
===== Budget (2019 numbers. UPDATE NEEDED) =====<br />
<br />
* Venue rental cost: none<br />

* Promotional material: 250 EUR / 285 USD (Posters/flyers announcing the event) [required] -> Lessons Learned from 2016 !<br />
* Budget will be allocated within OpenGeoScience Committee budget as part of [[Open_Geoscience_Committee/budget_2019]]<br />
* Costs: The total catering costs were 959,93 EUR (bill by Motto Catering, April 24 2019), which were paid via the OSGeo credit card (-> Treasurer/Mike).<br />
<br />
'''Total requested amount from the upcoming OpenGeoScience budget: 2563 USD'''<br />
<br />
===== Proposed Payment Method =====<br />

* Avoid conflicts with Medal Lectures ! This year, the TH coincides with the ESSI Medal Lecture for Kerstin Lehnert. [https://www.egu.eu/awards-medals/ian-mcharg/2018/kerstin-a-lehnert/ ESSI medal 2018]<br />
* Sync timeslots with Research Software Engineer TH.<br />
* Avoid time conflicts with ECS great debates !<br />
* Plan for a meeting with the austrian OSGeo community ahead in time (4-6 weeks). <br />
* Paper-based information material is becoming deprecated for reach out before the TH. <br />
* Personally handed over printed invitations (business card size or slightly larger) still do work.<br />
* A "swag-store" for OSGeo-Stickers and badgets works well AT the TH<br />
* Bring a large banner to be hung in front of the room<br />
* EGU doesn't do MoU like AGU. <br />
* EGU has already a large number of medals, like the [[https://www.egu.eu/essi/awards-medals/]ESSI medal] which is already sponsored by ESRI - they will currently NOT yet another medal by OSGeo.<br />
* Advertise well ahead on social media (LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.), via OSGeo mailing lists, OSGeo webpage (news item) and related communities, like RDA, FORCE11, codemeta, etc.<br />
<br />
=== Opportunities for 2023 (Lessons learned from 2019) === <br />
* The ESSI division is changing its overall approach. OSGeo should play a prominent role in the discussions.<br />
** OSGeo could sponsor a dedicated session in ESSI or cross-division.<br />
** OSGeo could sponsor a price / (lunch-)event /session for early career scientists<br />
** EGU intends to introduce a "data helpdesk" in 2019 or later, similar to the one introduced by AGU in 2017: OSGeo folks could participate by giving advice on particular software tools ("Ask a guru") - this would provide much more flexibility than normal EGU workshops, since it would be driven by real world questions of the attendees.<br />
=== Execution (OUTDATED) ===<br />
* Presentation by Peter Löwe [todo: upload & link]<br />
* [[File:OpenPlanetaryPresentation(forEGU2019) small.pdf|thumb|Presentation by Alessandro Frigeri]]<br />
==== Outcome 2019 ====<br />
* 20 persons attended and left their email-adresses (Nations: Great Britain, Netherlands,Austria, Czechia, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Denmark, Namibia)<br />
* Catering was downsized for 30 pax, still plenty<br />
* A quick show of hands received equal votes for keeping it as an evenin event, a lunch event, or undecied.<br />
<br />
=== Lessons learned from TH 2019 ===<br />
* This year four "open themed" THs were held in parallel. This is really an issue. While it's good to see that "open" THs have picked up, the scheduling forces an unnecessariy XOR priorisation by the attendees. Need to talk to EGU/Copernicus about this (todo: PL).<br />
<br />
* Paper-based hand outs/invites do still work, but because of the sheer number of attendees and the size of the value this does not carry far.<br />
* Preemptive email-announces on mailing lists and twitter(?) seem to be much more effective.<br />
* Make the presentations colorful & impressive.<br />
* "Pointer signs" help to shuffle the attendees in the right room.<br />
* TODO: Archive templates for Pointer Signs, Presentaions, and which mailing lists to be used in 2020.<br />
* Sync with Research Software Engineers and other "open" THs well before EGU 2020.<br />
* Do NOT order platters of food at Esterhazykeller for post-event get-togethers: It's way too much food and not cheap (bill was not charged on OSGeo, of course).<br />
* Flag the event explicitly as "ECS-friendly" in the EGU-CMS.<br />
* Do reach out to the ESRI booth staff<br />
* Avoid timeslot collisions with:<br />
** Early career scientist events<br />
** Anything hosted by Kerstin Lehnert, Peter Fox,Lesley Weybourne, Jens Klump or Kirsten (GFZ)<br />
** ESSI medal lectures<br />
** Other "open/FAIR"-themed THs<br />
** Research Software Engineer THs<br />
* Advertise the event at earlier ESSI sessions that day, including the ESSI Division meeting<br />
* Advertise ahead of EGU on the ESSI blog. <br />
* TH events at AGU GA are not necessarily as prohibitively costly as expected: Events at a hotel suite with alcoholic beverages ARE excessively expensive, but the AGU POCs (Shelley/Brooks) should be able (if contacted early) to help to get a room for a gathering. <br />
* The ESSI medal is financially supported by ESRI, which receives due recognition and mentioning at the annual division meeting. Since EGU has is discouraging ideas for new medals, OSGeo could consider new ways to provide some funding support for the division to get public recognition: A price for ECS doing innovative software ?<br />

* Paper-based hand outs/invites do still work, but because of the sheer number of attendees and the size of the value this does not carry far.<br />
* Preemptive email-announces on mailing lists and twitter(?) seem to be much more effective.<br />
* Make the presentations colorful & impressive.<br />
* "Pointer signs" help to shuffle the attendees in the right room.<br />
* TODO: Archive templates for Pointer Signs, Presentaions, and which mailing lists to be used in 2020.<br />
* Sync with Research Software Engineers and other "open" THs well before EGU 2020.<br />
* Do NOT order platters of food at Esterhazykeller for post-event get-togethers: It's way too much food and not cheap (bill was not charged on OSGeo, of course).<br />
* Flag the event explicitly as "ECS-friendly" in the EGU-CMS.<br />
* Do reach out to the ESRI booth staff<br />
* Avoid timeslot collisions with:<br />
** Early career scientist events<br />
** Anything hosted by Kerstin Lehnert, Peter Fox,Lesley Weybourne, Jens Klump or Kirsten (GFZ)<br />
** ESSI medal lectures<br />
** Other "open/FAIR"-themed THs<br />
** Research Software Engineer THs<br />
* Advertise the event at earlier ESSI sessions that day, including the ESSI Division meeting<br />
* Advertise ahead of EGU on the ESSI blog. <br />
* TH events at AGU GA are not necessarily as prohibitively costly as expected: Events at a hotel suite with alcoholic beverages ARE excessively expensive, but the AGU POCs (Shelley/Brooks) should be able (if contacted early) to help to get a room for a gathering. <br />
* The ESSI medal is financially supported by ESRI, which receives due recognition and mentioning at the annual division meeting. Since EGU has is discouraging ideas for new medals, OSGeo could consider new ways to provide some funding support for the division to get public recognition: A price for ECS doing innovative software ?<br />

===== Abstract =====<br />
<br />
At this townhall, we will touchdown on the most up-to-date topics related to Free Open-Source for Geospatial software and Open Science practices. Alessandro Frigeri from Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica of Italy (INAF) will introduce the session and briefly overview the latest developments of FOSS tools interoperable with geospatial data coming from missions from Mars, the Moon, and other bodies of the Solar System. Kevin Murphy from NASA will present the Transform to Open Science (TOPS) initiative aimed at transforming agencies, organizations, and communities to an inclusive culture of open science. Peter Loewe will report how Persistent Identifiers (PID) like Digital Object Identifiers can be used to improve indexing not only our scientific papers but also software projects and geospatial data.<br />
<br />
The session will keep 20 minutes for open discussion about the topics touched at the session.<br />

Townhalls are "networking events" hosted at the European Geosiences Union (EGU) General Assembly (GA) for up to 350 people.<br />
<br />
EGU-wording: "Townhall Meetings are meetings open for all participants in the conference at which new initiatives or decisions are announced to a larger audience following an open discussion on the matter raised."<br />
<br />
Townhalls are hosted in the evening following the conclusion of all scientific tracks. The events last one hour and usually have presentations / announcements taking up the first 20 minutes, to allow for an open discussion among the attendees. During this phase, refreshments are provided to ensure a lively and convivial atmosphere.<br />
<br />
===== Expected Audience Size =====<br />
50 - 80 people (optimistic guestimate from 2017 attendance numbers, we got less in 2018 due to competing events)<br />

<br />
===== Relevance for OSGeo (Draft / OUTDATED) =====<br />
how will our participation help OSGeo<br />
* Continuation and expansion of the "topical bridgehead" established within EGU by the first two OSGeo Townhalls in 2014 and 2015.<br />
* Raise awareness at and reach-out to the European geoscience community by hosting a dedicated public OSGeo event at the largest European geoscience conference.<br />
* Reach out to young scientists starting their careers.<br />
* Meeting place for people already active in OSGeo ("meta-BoF") as a large number of people congregates every year at the EGU GA.<br />
* Reach out to decision makers/elders/scientific activists within the EGU Divisions.<br />
* 2019: Culmination of the "FOSS day" at the EGU GA: The organizers are urged to to schedule all FOSS / OSGeo - related events on the same day. This will ensure we have a large audience and niceties such as "FOSS flashmobs" can be arranged for poster sessions. The "FOSS day" could and should be finished off with the OSGeo townhall, as a "multiplier/bring them all together" event.<br />
* Peaceful und friendly coexistence: Propiertary platforms including Microsoft, Google and ESRI are also staging dedicated events during EGU GA. <br />
* Awareness on the decision maker level: Significance of OSGeo within the emerging Data Science / Open Science debate ("-> OSGeo-tailored research programmes ?")<br />

20170117: 2250 EUR have been requested as part of the Open GeoScience Committee budget 2019.<br />
<br />
=== Last years Lessons Learned ===<br />
<br />
* Avoid conflicts with Medal Lectures ! This year, the TH coincides with the ESSI Medal Lecture for Kerstin Lehnert. [https://www.egu.eu/awards-medals/ian-mcharg/2018/kerstin-a-lehnert/ ESSI medal 2018]<br />
* Sync timeslots with Research Software Engineer TH.<br />
* Avoid time conflicts with ECS great debates !<br />
* Plan for a meeting with the austrian OSGeo community ahead in time (4-6 weeks). <br />
* Paper-based information material is becoming deprecated for reach out before the TH. <br />
* Personally handed over printed invitations (business card size or slightly larger) still do work.<br />
* A "swag-store" for OSGeo-Stickers and badgets works well AT the TH<br />
* Bring a large banner to be hung in front of the room<br />
* EGU doesn't do MoU like AGU. <br />
* EGU has already a large number of medals, like the [[https://www.egu.eu/essi/awards-medals/]ESSI medal] which is already sponsored by ESRI - they will currently NOT yet another medal by OSGeo.<br />
* Advertise well ahead on social media (LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.), via OSGeo mailing lists, OSGeo webpage (news item) and related communities, like RDA, FORCE11, codemeta, etc.<br />
<br />
=== Opportunities for 2023 (Lessons learned from 2019) === <br />
* The ESSI division is changing its overall approach. OSGeo should play a prominent role in the discussions.<br />
** OSGeo could sponsor a dedicated session in ESSI or cross-division.<br />
** OSGeo could sponsor a price / (lunch-)event /session for early career scientists<br />
** EGU intends to introduce a "data helpdesk" in 2019 or later, similar to the one introduced by AGU in 2017: OSGeo folks could participate by giving advice on particular software tools ("Ask a guru") - this would provide much more flexibility than normal EGU workshops, since it would be driven by real world questions of the attendees.<br />
=== Execution (OUTDATED) ===<br />
* Presentation by Peter Löwe [todo: upload & link]<br />
* [[File:OpenPlanetaryPresentation(forEGU2019) small.pdf|thumb|Presentation by Alessandro Frigeri]]<br />
==== Outcome 2019 ====<br />
* 20 persons attended and left their email-adresses (Nations: Great Britain, Netherlands,Austria, Czechia, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Denmark, Namibia)<br />
* Catering was downsized for 30 pax, still plenty<br />
* A quick show of hands received equal votes for keeping it as an evenin event, a lunch event, or undecied.<br />
<br />
=== Lessons learned from TH 2019 ===<br />
* This year four "open themed" THs were held in parallel. This is really an issue. While it's good to see that "open" THs have picked up, the scheduling forces an unnecessariy XOR priorisation by the attendees. Need to talk to EGU/Copernicus about this (todo: PL).<br />
<br />
* Paper-based hand outs/invites do still work, but because of the sheer number of attendees and the size of the value this does not carry far.<br />
* Preemptive email-announces on mailing lists and twitter(?) seem to be much more effective.<br />
* Make the presentations colorful & impressive.<br />
* "Pointer signs" help to shuffle the attendees in the right room.<br />
* TODO: Archive templates for Pointer Signs, Presentaions, and which mailing lists to be used in 2020.<br />
* Sync with Research Software Engineers and other "open" THs well before EGU 2020.<br />
* Do NOT order platters of food at Esterhazykeller for post-event get-togethers: It's way too much food and not cheap (bill was not charged on OSGeo, of course).<br />
* Flag the event explicitly as "ECS-friendly" in the EGU-CMS.<br />
* Do reach out to the ESRI booth staff<br />
* Avoid timeslot collisions with:<br />
** Early career scientist events<br />
** Anything hosted by Kerstin Lehnert, Peter Fox,Lesley Weybourne, Jens Klump or Kirsten (GFZ)<br />
** ESSI medal lectures<br />
** Other "open/FAIR"-themed THs<br />
** Research Software Engineer THs<br />
* Advertise the event at earlier ESSI sessions that day, including the ESSI Division meeting<br />
* Advertise ahead of EGU on the ESSI blog. <br />
* TH events at AGU GA are not necessarily as prohibitively costly as expected: Events at a hotel suite with alcoholic beverages ARE excessively expensive, but the AGU POCs (Shelley/Brooks) should be able (if contacted early) to help to get a room for a gathering. <br />

<br />
* Avoid conflicts with Medal Lectures ! This year, the TH coincides with the ESSI Medal Lecture for Kerstin Lehnert. [https://www.egu.eu/awards-medals/ian-mcharg/2018/kerstin-a-lehnert/ ESSI medal 2018]<br />
* Sync timeslots with Research Software Engineer TH.<br />
* Avoid time conflicts with ECS great debates !<br />
* Plan for a meeting with the austrian OSGeo community ahead in time (4-6 weeks). <br />
* Paper-based information material is becoming deprecated for reach out before the TH. <br />
* Personally handed over printed invitations (business card size or slightly larger) still do work.<br />
* A "swag-store" for OSGeo-Stickers and badgets works well AT the TH<br />
* Bring a large banner to be hung in front of the room<br />
* EGU doesn't do MoU like AGU. <br />
* EGU has already a large number of medals, like the [[https://www.egu.eu/essi/awards-medals/]ESSI medal] which is already sponsored by ESRI - they will currently NOT yet another medal by OSGeo.<br />
* Advertise well ahead on social media (LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.), via OSGeo mailing lists, OSGeo webpage (news item) and related communities, like RDA, FORCE11, codemeta, etc.<br />
<br />
=== Opportunities for 2023 (Lessons learned from 2019) === <br />
* The ESSI division is changing its overall approach. OSGeo should play a prominent role in the discussions.<br />
** OSGeo could sponsor a dedicated session in ESSI or cross-division.<br />
** OSGeo could sponsor a price / (lunch-)event /session for early career scientists<br />
** EGU intends to introduce a "data helpdesk" in 2019 or later, similar to the one introduced by AGU in 2017: OSGeo folks could participate by giving advice on particular software tools ("Ask a guru") - this would provide much more flexibility than normal EGU workshops, since it would be driven by real world questions of the attendees.<br />
=== Execution (OUTDATED) ===<br />
* Presentation by Peter Löwe [todo: upload & link]<br />
* [[File:OpenPlanetaryPresentation(forEGU2019) small.pdf|thumb|Presentation by Alessandro Frigeri]]<br />
==== Outcome 2019 ====<br />
* 20 persons attended and left their email-adresses (Nations: Great Britain, Netherlands,Austria, Czechia, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Denmark, Namibia)<br />
* Catering was downsized for 30 pax, still plenty<br />
* A quick show of hands received equal votes for keeping it as an evenin event, a lunch event, or undecied.<br />
<br />
=== Lessons learned from TH 2019 ===<br />
* This year four "open themed" THs were held in parallel. This is really an issue. While it's good to see that "open" THs have picked up, the scheduling forces an unnecessariy XOR priorisation by the attendees. Need to talk to EGU/Copernicus about this (todo: PL).<br />
<br />
* Paper-based hand outs/invites do still work, but because of the sheer number of attendees and the size of the value this does not carry far.<br />
* Preemptive email-announces on mailing lists and twitter(?) seem to be much more effective.<br />
* Make the presentations colorful & impressive.<br />
* "Pointer signs" help to shuffle the attendees in the right room.<br />
* TODO: Archive templates for Pointer Signs, Presentaions, and which mailing lists to be used in 2020.<br />
* Sync with Research Software Engineers and other "open" THs well before EGU 2020.<br />
* Do NOT order platters of food at Esterhazykeller for post-event get-togethers: It's way too much food and not cheap (bill was not charged on OSGeo, of course).<br />
* Flag the event explicitly as "ECS-friendly" in the EGU-CMS.<br />
* Do reach out to the ESRI booth staff<br />
* Avoid timeslot collisions with:<br />
** Early career scientist events<br />
** Anything hosted by Kerstin Lehnert, Peter Fox,Lesley Weybourne, Jens Klump or Kirsten (GFZ)<br />
** ESSI medal lectures<br />
** Other "open/FAIR"-themed THs<br />
** Research Software Engineer THs<br />
* Advertise the event at earlier ESSI sessions that day, including the ESSI Division meeting<br />
* Advertise ahead of EGU on the ESSI blog. <br />
* TH events at AGU GA are not necessarily as prohibitively costly as expected: Events at a hotel suite with alcoholic beverages ARE excessively expensive, but the AGU POCs (Shelley/Brooks) should be able (if contacted early) to help to get a room for a gathering. <br />
* The ESSI medal is financially supported by ESRI, which receives due recognition and mentioning at the annual division meeting. Since EGU has is discouraging ideas for new medals, OSGeo could consider new ways to provide some funding support for the division to get public recognition: A price for ECS doing innovative software ?<br />

##Convener: Alessandro Frigeri Co-conveners: Peter Löwe, Martina Stockhause <br />
<br />
===== Abstract =====<br />
<br />
At this townhall, we will touchdown on the most up-to-date topics related to Free Open-Source for Geospatial software and Open Science practices. Alessandro Frigeri from Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica of Italy (INAF) will introduce the session and briefly overview the latest developments of FOSS tools interoperable with geospatial data coming from missions from Mars, the Moon, and other bodies of the Solar System. Kevin Murphy from NASA will present the Transform to Open Science (TOPS) initiative aimed at transforming agencies, organizations, and communities to an inclusive culture of open science. Peter Loewe will report how Persistent Identifiers (PID) like Digital Object Identifiers can be used to improve indexing not only our scientific papers but also software projects and geospatial data.<br />
<br />
The session will keep 20 minutes for open discussion about the topics touched at the session.<br />

Townhalls are "networking events" hosted at the European Geosiences Union (EGU) General Assembly (GA) for up to 350 people.<br />
<br />
EGU-wording: "Townhall Meetings are meetings open for all participants in the conference at which new initiatives or decisions are announced to a larger audience following an open discussion on the matter raised."<br />
<br />
Townhalls are hosted in the evening following the conclusion of all scientific tracks. The events last one hour and usually have presentations / announcements taking up the first 20 minutes, to allow for an open discussion among the attendees. During this phase, refreshments are provided to ensure a lively and convivial atmosphere.<br />
<br />
===== Expected Audience Size =====<br />
50 - 80 people (optimistic guestimate from 2017 attendance numbers, we got less in 2018 due to competing events)<br />
(OLD NUMBERS FROM 2019)<br />

[https://www.motto-catering.at/motto-catering/index.php?lang=en Motto Group]<br />
<br />
===== Relevance for OSGeo (Draft / OUTDATED) =====<br />
how will our participation help OSGeo<br />
* Continuation and expansion of the "topical bridgehead" established within EGU by the first two OSGeo Townhalls in 2014 and 2015.<br />
* Raise awareness at and reach-out to the European geoscience community by hosting a dedicated public OSGeo event at the largest European geoscience conference.<br />
* Reach out to young scientists starting their careers.<br />
* Meeting place for people already active in OSGeo ("meta-BoF") as a large number of people congregates every year at the EGU GA.<br />
* Reach out to decision makers/elders/scientific activists within the EGU Divisions.<br />
* 2019: Culmination of the "FOSS day" at the EGU GA: The organizers are urged to to schedule all FOSS / OSGeo - related events on the same day. This will ensure we have a large audience and niceties such as "FOSS flashmobs" can be arranged for poster sessions. The "FOSS day" could and should be finished off with the OSGeo townhall, as a "multiplier/bring them all together" event.<br />
* Peaceful und friendly coexistence: Propiertary platforms including Microsoft, Google and ESRI are also staging dedicated events during EGU GA. <br />
* Awareness on the decision maker level: Significance of OSGeo within the emerging Data Science / Open Science debate ("-> OSGeo-tailored research programmes ?")<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Last years Lessons Learned ===<br />
<br />
* Avoid conflicts with Medal Lectures ! This year, the TH coincides with the ESSI Medal Lecture for Kerstin Lehnert. [https://www.egu.eu/awards-medals/ian-mcharg/2018/kerstin-a-lehnert/ ESSI medal 2018]<br />
* Sync timeslots with Research Software Engineer TH.<br />
* Avoid time conflicts with ECS great debates !<br />
* Plan for a meeting with the austrian OSGeo community ahead in time (4-6 weeks). <br />
* Paper-based information material is becoming deprecated for reach out before the TH. <br />
* Personally handed over printed invitations (business card size or slightly larger) still do work.<br />
* A "swag-store" for OSGeo-Stickers and badgets works well AT the TH<br />
* Bring a large banner to be hung in front of the room<br />
* EGU doesn't do MoU like AGU. <br />
* EGU has already a large number of medals, like the [[https://www.egu.eu/essi/awards-medals/]ESSI medal] which is already sponsored by ESRI - they will currently NOT yet another medal by OSGeo.<br />
* Advertise well ahead on social media (LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.), via OSGeo mailing lists, OSGeo webpage (news item) and related communities, like RDA, FORCE11, codemeta, etc.<br />
<br />
=== Opportunities for 2023 (Lessons learned from 2019) === <br />
* The ESSI division is changing its overall approach. OSGeo should play a prominent role in the discussions.<br />
** OSGeo could sponsor a dedicated session in ESSI or cross-division.<br />
** OSGeo could sponsor a price / (lunch-)event /session for early career scientists<br />
** EGU intends to introduce a "data helpdesk" in 2019 or later, similar to the one introduced by AGU in 2017: OSGeo folks could participate by giving advice on particular software tools ("Ask a guru") - this would provide much more flexibility than normal EGU workshops, since it would be driven by real world questions of the attendees.<br />
=== Execution (OUTDATED) ===<br />
* Presentation by Peter Löwe [todo: upload & link]<br />
* [[File:OpenPlanetaryPresentation(forEGU2019) small.pdf|thumb|Presentation by Alessandro Frigeri]]<br />
==== Outcome 2019 ====<br />
* 20 persons attended and left their email-adresses (Nations: Great Britain, Netherlands,Austria, Czechia, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Denmark, Namibia)<br />
* Catering was downsized for 30 pax, still plenty<br />
* A quick show of hands received equal votes for keeping it as an evenin event, a lunch event, or undecied.<br />
<br />
=== Lessons learned from TH 2019 ===<br />
* This year four "open themed" THs were held in parallel. This is really an issue. While it's good to see that "open" THs have picked up, the scheduling forces an unnecessariy XOR priorisation by the attendees. Need to talk to EGU/Copernicus about this (todo: PL).<br />
<br />
* Paper-based hand outs/invites do still work, but because of the sheer number of attendees and the size of the value this does not carry far.<br />
* Preemptive email-announces on mailing lists and twitter(?) seem to be much more effective.<br />
* Make the presentations colorful & impressive.<br />
* "Pointer signs" help to shuffle the attendees in the right room.<br />
* TODO: Archive templates for Pointer Signs, Presentaions, and which mailing lists to be used in 2020.<br />
* Sync with Research Software Engineers and other "open" THs well before EGU 2020.<br />
* Do NOT order platters of food at Esterhazykeller for post-event get-togethers: It's way too much food and not cheap (bill was not charged on OSGeo, of course).<br />
* Flag the event explicitly as "ECS-friendly" in the EGU-CMS.<br />
* Do reach out to the ESRI booth staff<br />
* Avoid timeslot collisions with:<br />
** Early career scientist events<br />
** Anything hosted by Kerstin Lehnert, Peter Fox,Lesley Weybourne, Jens Klump or Kirsten (GFZ)<br />
** ESSI medal lectures<br />
** Other "open/FAIR"-themed THs<br />
** Research Software Engineer THs<br />
* Advertise the event at earlier ESSI sessions that day, including the ESSI Division meeting<br />
* Advertise ahead of EGU on the ESSI blog. <br />
* TH events at AGU GA are not necessarily as prohibitively costly as expected: Events at a hotel suite with alcoholic beverages ARE excessively expensive, but the AGU POCs (Shelley/Brooks) should be able (if contacted early) to help to get a room for a gathering. <br />
* The ESSI medal is financially supported by ESRI, which receives due recognition and mentioning at the annual division meeting. Since EGU has is discouraging ideas for new medals, OSGeo could consider new ways to provide some funding support for the division to get public recognition: A price for ECS doing innovative software ?<br />

<hr />
<div>Each year a large number of geoscientists from Europe and abroad gather in Vienna for the European Geoscience Union (EGU) General Assembly.<br />
<br />
Since 2014, OSGeo is actively contributing to the Assembly through the activity of OSGeo people and the organization of a [[w:Townhall Meeting]].<br />
<br />
The EGU website describes the Townhall Meeting as:<br />
<br />
''On-site townhall meetings offer an active discussion platform that is open to all interested conference participants. At townhall meetings, information is shared on new initiatives or opportunities of interest to a wide range of disciplines. This is often followed by an open discussion on the matter raised. Townhall meetings are non-commercial, cannot be used for session extension, and cannot be organized by commercial enterprises.''<br />
<br />
''Any registered on-site participant may organize a townhall meeting, which is subject to the approval by the Programme Committee Chair. Townhall meetings will take place Monday–Tuesday and Thursday–Friday from 19:00 to 20:00 in lecture rooms of the congress centre. EGU does not provide any hybrid solutions for Townhall meetings. Upon acceptance, the respective meeting will appear in the townhall meeting programme as a session. Conveners can then add public information to their townhall meeting using the convener tools. Commercial meetings are now allowed.''<br />

<div>== Code Sprint ==<br />
<br />
Also this year, after the online conference, there will be the '''OSGeo community sprint'''.<br />
<br />
Participation is free of charge and anyone involved or interested in getting involved in OSGeo community projects is welcome.<br />
<br />
This year we will try to offer the format '''an hour with the developer''', where we ask seasoned community members to donate time for welcoming new members and introduce them to different projects or guide them through the setup of the development environment or translation tools and get started on the Foss4G journey. <br />
<br />
You can choose to contribute to one or more projects. The sky is the limit. There’s always plenty to do – and it’s not all about programming. Translation, documentation, feedback, discussions, and testing are very important for projects! Conference registration is not a prerequisite for participation in the code sprint.<br />
<br />
=== When ===<br />
<br />
The code sprint will be held on 27-28 of August.<br />
<br />
=== Where ===<br />
<br />
The codesprint will be hosted at the University of Florence. <br />
<br />
* Centro Didattico Morgagni UniFi in Viale Morgagni 42 -- 44 Firenze.<br />
<br />
== Registered Attendees ==<br />
<br />
The code sprint is free of charge but we kindly ask you to write down your name for better planning.<br />

<div>== Code Sprint ==<br />
<br />
Also this year, after the online conference, there will be the '''OSGeo community sprint'''.<br />
<br />
Participation is free of charge and anyone involved or interested in getting involved in OSGeo community projects is welcome.<br />
<br />
This year we will try to offer the format '''an hour with the developer''', where we ask seasoned community members to donate time for welcoming new members and introduce them to different projects or guide them through the setup of the development environment or translation tools and get started on the Foss4G journey. <br />
<br />
You can choose to contribute to one or more projects. The sky is the limit. There’s always plenty to do – and it’s not all about programming. Translation, documentation, feedback, discussions, and testing are very important for projects! Conference registration is not a prerequisite for participation in the code sprint.<br />
<br />
=== When ===<br />
<br />
The code sprint will be held on 27-28 of August.<br />
<br />
=== Where ===<br />
<br />
The codesprint will be hosted at the University of Florence. <br />
<br />
* Centro Didattico Morgagni UniFi in Viale Morgagni 42 -- 44 Firenze.<br />
<br />
== Registered Attendees ==<br />
<br />
The code sprint is free of charge but we kindly ask you to write down your name for better planning.<br />

<div>== Code Sprint ==<br />
<br />
Also this year, after the online conference, there will be the '''OSGeo community sprint'''.<br />
<br />
Participation is free of charge and anyone involved or interested in getting involved in OSGeo community projects is welcome.<br />
<br />
This year we will try to offer the format '''an hour with the developer''', where we ask seasoned community members to donate time for welcoming new members and introduce them to different projects or guide them through the setup of the development environment or translation tools and get started on the Foss4G journey. <br />
<br />
You can choose to contribute to one or more projects. The sky is the limit. There’s always plenty to do – and it’s not all about programming. Translation, documentation, feedback, discussions, and testing are very important for projects! Conference registration is not a prerequisite for participation in the code sprint.<br />
<br />
=== When ===<br />
<br />
The code sprint will be held on 27-28 of August.<br />
<br />
=== Where ===<br />
<br />
The codesprint will be hosted at the University of Florence. <br />
<br />
* Centro Didattico Morgagni UniFi in Viale Morgagni 42 -- 44 Firenze.<br />
<br />
== Registered Attendees ==<br />
<br />
The code sprint is free of charge but we kindly ask you to write down your name for better planning.<br />

===== Title of the event =====<br />
<br />
OSGeo Townhall: Open Science demystified (DRAFT)<br />
<br />
===== Abstract (Draft, copied from 2017) =====<br />
The paradigm of Open Science is based on the tiers Open Access, Open Data and Free Open Source Software (FOSS). However, the interconnections between the tiers remain to be improved. This is a critical factor to enable Open Science.<br />
This Townhall meeting reaches out all across EGU, espescially welcoming Early Career Scientists, to network and discuss the current challenges and opportunities of the FOSS tier, including:<br />
<br />
- recognition for scientific software: how to write a software paper?<br />
<br />
- software life cycle: who will maintain your software after you've finished your PhD and found a decent job? <br />
<br />
- funding software development: evolving software begun for your own research needs into something larger, that serves other's needs, and boosts your scientific reputation.<br />
<br />
- software reviews: how to set up software development such that other developers get involved in an early stage?<br />
<br />
- how can OSGeo help you with all these questions?<br />
<br />
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation, or OSGeo, is a not-for-profit umbrella organization for Free and Open Source geospatial tools, including QGIS, gvSIG, GRASS GIS, Geoserver and many others. OSGeo is hosting this Townhall event to support the collaborative development of open source geospatial software by promoting sustainable Open Science within EGU.<br />

<br />
===== Type of event =====<br />
<br />
Townhalls are "networking events" hosted at the European Geosiences Union (EGU) General Assembly (GA) for up to 350 people.<br />
<br />
EGU-wording: "Townhall Meetings are meetings open for all participants in the conference at which new initiatives or decisions are announced to a larger audience following an open discussion on the matter raised."<br />
<br />
Townhalls are hosted in the evening following the conclusion of all scientific tracks. The events last one hour and usually have presentations / announcements taking up the first 20 minutes, to allow for an open discussion among the attendees. During this phase, refreshments are provided to ensure a lively and convivial atmosphere.<br />
<br />
===== Expected Audience Size =====<br />
50 - 80 people (optimistiv guestimate from 2017 attendance numbers)<br />
<br />
===== Audience: Topical Background =====<br />
Free Open Source Software from OSGeo projects affects most if not all EGU Divisions.<br />
Currently FOSS (OSGeo projects + R, GMT, etc.) is particularly strong in the Hydrology, Atmospheric Sciences, Earth and Space Sience Informatics and Tectonics Divisions.<br />
<br />
Attendees are expected from the following fields (Academia, Research and Industry).<br />
<br />

* Reach out to decision makers/elders/scientific activists within the EGU Divisions.<br />
* Culmination of the "FOSS day" at the EGU GA: The organizers are urged to to schedule all FOSS / OSGeo - related events on the same day. This will ensure we have a large audience and niceties such as "FOSS flashmobs" can be arranged for poster sessions. The "FOSS day" could and should be finished off with the OSGeo townhall, as a "multiplier/bring them all together" event.<br />
* Peaceful und friendly coexistence: Propiertary platforms including Microsoft, Google and ESRI are also staging dedicated events during EGU GA. <br />
* Awareness on the decision maker level: Significance of OSGeo within the emerging Data Science / Open Science debate ("-> OSGeo-tailored research programmes ?")<br />

===== Title of the event =====<br />
<br />
OSGeo Townhall: Open Science demystified (DRAFT)<br />
<br />
===== Abstract (Draft, copied from 2017) =====<br />
The paradigm of Open Science is based on the tiers Open Access, Open Data and Free Open Source Software (FOSS). However, the interconnections between the tiers remain to be improved. This is a critical factor to enable Open Science.<br />
This Townhall meeting reaches out all across EGU, espescially welcoming Early Career Scientists, to network and discuss the current challenges and opportunities of the FOSS tier, including:<br />
<br />
- recognition for scientific software: how to write a software paper?<br />
<br />
- software life cycle: who will maintain your software after you've finished your PhD and found a decent job? <br />
<br />
- funding software development: evolving software begun for your own research needs into something larger, that serves other's needs, and boosts your scientific reputtation.<br />
<br />
- software reviews: how to set up software development such that other developers get involved in an early stage?<br />
<br />
- how can OSGeo help you with all these questions?<br />
<br />
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation, or OSGeo, is a not-for-profit umbrella organization for Free and Open Source geospatial tools, including QGIS, gvSIG, GRASS GIS, Geoserver and many others. OSGeo is hosting this Townhall event to support the collaborative development of open source geospatial software by promoting sustainable Open Science within EGU.<br />

<hr />
<div>== Motivation ==<br />
<br />
There are plans for new/rewritten cartographic tools (map composer) for QGIS, as well as for GRASS. We suggest to develop a joint library for the various functions which could be shared across GRASS, QGIS and other projects with bindings to Qt, Python etc. The GUI part will be done within the individual software projects, while this project focuses on standard libraries or command line utilities.<br />
<br />
== Functionality ==<br />
<br />
Shared functions may include<br />
<br />
* class breaks (various algorithms)<br />
* histogram analysis<br />
* color ramps<br />
* RGB and possibly CYMK support (aka color transformations) etc.<br />
* Algorithms for intelligent label placement -- for example, collision management based on rotated extent rectangles. Also, collision management against line and polygon and point features. Provision for prioritized set of text placement rules, first one to prevent collision wins.<br />
* Symbology management<br />
* map surround <br />
* legend<br />
* cartographic templates (ie. predefined map styles)<br />
* parse and print map (geovisualization) description files<br />
<br />
This paper might be worth looking at: [http://utpjournals.metapress.com/content/b584484743vk910g/ Extended Cartographic Interfaces for Open Distributed Processing]<br />
<br />
== Programming Language ==<br />
<br />
* C? C++?<br />
<br />
Perhaps we could implement the core in C++, but provide a high level C API for applications and environments wanting to drive the library. C++ is a strong implementation language, but presenting a C API to the outside world reduces complexity calling from other languages or compiler versions and reduces "interface fragility".<br />
<br />
* Python bindings?<br />
<br />
There has been talk on the [http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/ GMT] mailing list about Python bindings to the core C API. Since GMT already has a wealth of routines for plotting directly to PS|EPS format files, this route may give developers a great head-start. There has been [http://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/drupal/node/561 some work] on the integration of GRASS and GMT in the past, with [http://grass.gdf-hannover.de/wiki/GRASS_AddOns several user-submitted modules].<br />
<br />
== Output Formats ==<br />
<br />
What output formats do we want to target. I think at the core this question comes down to whether we want to render everything to a raster format or whether we wish to preserve linework, and text in non-raster form. That is, whether output output is a raster format, or a raster+vector+text format like postscript/pdf. <br />
<br />
If a cartographic product is the objective, I think selection of an output format like PDF makes a lot of sense, but it does make interactive composition more complicated and it is possible we have limited pdf/postscript development expertise in our developer community (the GMT developers may be of help here...).<br />
<br />
What about the possibility of exporting SVG and using Inkscape for cartographic styling and design? Inkscape is written in C++ and already has a wealth of vector graphics functionality. You could also consider using Scribus for map layout. I believe Scribus is also written in C++. Why implement the great functionality that already exists in open source programs?<br />
<br />
Coming from the Web Mapping angle it will be interesting to be able to acquire OGC WMS maps with a pixel sizes < 0.28 mm (which is the current standard of ~ 72 or 90 dpi). This option has been suggested as a change request and is currently being discussed. It will allow to compose high resolution print maps also using OGC WMS.<br />
<br />
Actually (2008) some GIS desktop allow to export the view to SVG format (QGIS, OpenJUMP, etc). While almost all software could save to SVG throughtPDF/Postscript drivers (ex PDF creator, opensurce). Implementing a complete symbology in Inkscape would be preferable and would solve many problem of compatibility between GIS desktops.<br />
There are some proposal available on the web: GFOSS[http://wiki.gfoss.it/index.php/Vestire_una_mappa_con_inkscape_partendo_da_SVG] (in Italian).<br />
<br />
== Existing code to be recycled ==<br />
<br />
There will be code in GRASS, QGIS, the Python Cartographic Library (http://zcologia.org/cartography) and other sources which could be integrated (check license compatibility). Please indicate precisely where to find the source code, license, programming language. Please keep in mind that this is underlying library, not the graphical user interface.<br />

== End User Needs ==<br />
* Print to small format medium (eg 8.5in x 11in, 11in x 14in) and large format (eg 34 x 44in)<br />
* Interactive layout<br />
* High quality printing<br />
* Storage of cartographic symbolizing<br />
* [[OSGeo map symbol set|Symbols library]]<br />
* Separate cartographic and geographic representation (eg changes to carto does not affect geo).<br />
* Generalization on-the-fly, based on current scale.<br />
* Rules based cartography stored in RDBMS (eg series 400 highways are blue with double lines)<br />
* Multiple export formats<br />
** Geotiff<br />
** PNG<br />
** PDF / GeoPDF<br />
** Postscript (need for directly sending files to printers)<br />
** SVG<br />
* Layout Functionality<br />
* Text-based configuration file that applications can output to or humans can manually hack/script<br />
* Common, interoperable data file input options<br />
* Customizable legend with Symbology representation (textures, object symbols, etc.)<br />
<br />
==Layout Functionality==<br />
===Design Modeling===<br />
Issues of layout will always be important in creating the final cartographic product. Layout templating such as that used in Natural Resources Canada's (NRCAN) Cartographic Design Specifications (http://ess.nrcan.gc.ca/pubs/carto/downloads/design_specs.pdf#page=13). <br />
<br />
Perhaps we can learn from the desktop publishing world from the likes of the Scribus project (http://www.scribus.net/). Maybe being able to export a certain portion to scribus to handle some the major layout hurdles. A link between the cartographic library and scribus could allow for auto generation of some layout features and text such as changing declination, Projection info, and others.<br />
<br />
=== XML and PDF===<br />
OSGEO might be able to get behind the [http://sourceforge.net/projects/geofunctions Geo Functions] project. "Geo Functions is an open-source library of XSLT-2 / XQuery functions, templates, stylesheets and classes devoted to the processing of geographic data in XML." I understand that the original purpose of the project is to produce PDF maps from XML based data.<br />
<br />
==Potential Components==<br />
Breaking the end goal into some components will help to recognise which area(s) there is greatest need. There seems to be at least four primary components to the proposal.<br />
<br />
=== Style & Layout Configuration Standards ===<br />
* Specifications for styling of features and layout of a map composition<br />
* Could re-use existing approaches where applicable (e.g. SLD, WMC, MapServer Mapfile, OGR Feature Styles)<br />
* Specifications to be used in map definition/configuration files<br />
<br />
=== Graphical Style & Layout Editor ===<br />
* To create styles interactively<br />
* To define map layout<br />
* Could be stand-alone<br />
* Could be adopted as part of another application<br />

<br />
* read geo data<br />
** geometries<br />
** projection<br />
** metadata (if required)<br />
* apply styling<br />
** feature to style coding<br />
* Cartographic edits<br />
** overide some of the geometry if required (eg roads don't run through lakes)<br />
* manual edits / retouching<br />
* Produce other cartographic edits objects<br />
** create suround<br />
** create grids<br />
** create legend<br />
** create scale bar<br />
** create north arrow<br />
** Copyright notices from text file or DB<br />
** Licensing notices from text fiel or DB<br />
* Other<br />
** Output size<br />
<br />

<div>''This project was recently approved as [[Public Geospatial Data Committee|official foundation committee]].''<br />
<br />
== Mission ==<br />
<br />
=== Promote the use of open geospatial formats ===<br />
Providing best-practise guidelines and examples for use of open and free standards for data (GML, WMS, WFS-T) and metadata (Dublin Core, RDF).<br />
<br />
=== Promote public access to state-collected geodata ===<br />
<br />
Lead by example in demonstrating economic value and research activity generated by open access to public geographic information.<br />
<br />
=== Run a repository of open geodata ===<br />
A collection of geospatial datasets shall be hosted by the PGDP.<br />
Additionally, links to other open data repostories shall be collected.<br />
<br />
=== Present and explain licenses for public geodata ===<br />
The PGDP aims to collect licenses suitable for the publishing of public geodata. The license shall be presented along with a summary of its benefits and focus.<br />
<br />
== Approach ==<br />
<br />
The Public Geospatial Data Project of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation is currently in the "definition phase". That means that we're in the process of putting together information about the kinds of things we could do, which organizations might be relevant, how the project might be structured, etc. Since the entire OSGeo is new, we're really working out the process for starting a non-software based project as we go.<br />
<br />
'''Likely scenario'''<br />
* Information gathering<br />
* Develop list of potential participants<br />
* Invite people/organizations to express interest<br />
* Discuss potential charter (is there an "official" OSGeo name for this?)<br />
* Present charter to OSGeo Board for approval (or do the members also get to vote on it?)<br />
** Charter should probably have "Terms of Reference" - i.e. what the group will do<br />
** Charter should probably have an initial list of participants/organizations (not all need to be members)<br />
** Charter should name a Chair and a Vice Chair (or co-chairs?) (must proposed chair already be a member or can s/he become a member by virtue of being part of this?)<br />
* Assuming project is approved - Get to work!<br />
<br />
