&lt;div&gt;== Community Sprint ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also this year, after the conference, there will be the '''OSGeo community sprint'''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Participation is free of charge and anyone involved or interested in getting involved in OSGeo community projects is welcome.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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 community sprint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== When ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The community sprint will be held on 01-02 of July.&lt;br /&gt;
*  8:00 - 21:00&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Where ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The community sprint will be hosted at the Innovation and Training Park Prizren.&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=42.2194195&amp;amp;mlon=20.7531639#map=19/42.2194195/20.7531639 Location on OSM]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Registered Attendees ==&lt;br /&gt;

=== OpenGIS Harmonization ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The OGC GeoAPI Implementation Specification requires exclusive use of the '''org.opengis''' Java package. OSGeo experimented in cross-project collaboration using “geoapi-pending” interfaces defined in the '''org.opengis''' Java package. This activity removes use '''org.opengis''' from OSGeo projects, and provides scripts to help the wider Java community adapt to the change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Visit OSGeo [https://www.osgeo.org/opengis-harmonization/ opengis-harmonization] initiative activity background, including sponsorship opportunities. See GeoTools [https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/Remove-OpenGIS wiki] for technical details on is challenge.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Code Sprint ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also this year, after the online conference, there will be the '''OSGeo community sprint'''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Participation is free of charge and anyone involved or interested in getting involved in OSGeo community projects is welcome.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== When ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The code sprint will be held on 27-28 of August.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Where ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The codesprint will be hosted at the University of Florence. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More information about the rooms and social channels for the codesprint will be notified later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Registered Attendees ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The code sprint is free of charge but we kindly ask you to write down your name for better planning.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Code Sprint ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also this year, after the online conference, there will be the '''OSGeo community sprint'''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Participation is free of charge and anyone involved or interested in getting involved in OSGeo community projects is welcome.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== When ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The code sprint will be held on 27-28 of August.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Where ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The codesprint will be hosted at the University of Florence. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More information about the rooms and social channels for the codesprint will be notified later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Registered Attendees ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The code sprint is free of charge but we kindly ask you to write down your name for better planning.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Code Sprint ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also this year, after the online conference, there will be the '''OSGeo community sprint'''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Participation is free of charge and anyone involved or interested in getting involved in OSGeo community projects is welcome.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== When ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The code sprint will be held on 27-28 of August.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Where ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The codesprint will be hosted at the University of Florence. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More information about the rooms and social channels for the codesprint will be notified later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Registered Attendees ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The code sprint is free of charge but we kindly ask you to write down your name for better planning.&lt;br /&gt;

== Sponsoring ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) has a long tradition of organizing code sprints for developers of Open Source GIS software.&lt;br /&gt;
(https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Category:Code_Sprints).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An international community/code sprint for OSGeo will take place Nov 17-19, 2020.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We expect about 80 developers from all over the world to come from various [https://www.osgeo.org/, OSGeo] projects. Whether desktop application, geospatial library, metadata catalog or web mapping: be sure to find products in the list that you use. The sprint is also an opportunity for your developers to meet with the core developers of the projects, get a deeper insight into the software and participate in the development.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This years' sprint will take place online.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to the costs of providing the technical infrastructure and space, food and drink for the developers represents the main cost. Morning/afternoon meals and drinks during the day are planned. In addition, we hope to provide several evening meals and social events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to cover these costs we would be overjoyed to accept offers of sponsorship!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What we can offer:&lt;br /&gt;
* Your logo on top of the [https://www.osgeo.org/events/OSGeo_Community_Sprint_2020/ community sprint website] as well as on all official documents used during the sprint&lt;br /&gt;
* Acknowledgement in all sprint related emails&lt;br /&gt;
* Our undying gratitude, which comes in handy when you least expect it (remember that feature you wanted?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our sponsorship levels:&lt;br /&gt;
* Gold: &amp;gt;= 2500 USD&lt;br /&gt;
* Silver: 1500 USD&lt;br /&gt;
* Bronze: 750 USD&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So...&lt;br /&gt;
* get your company talking to the top project developers.&lt;br /&gt;
* encourage your GIS developers to take advantage of this opportunity, there is no better opportunity to learn!&lt;br /&gt;
* support the software you use - you benefit immediately.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you very much!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contact: To sponsor, please contact tzotsos@osgeo.org directly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Event Owner ==&lt;br /&gt;
* OSGeo Board&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Press Release ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are looking forward to the next OSGeo Code Sprint!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Code Sprint ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This year, we are following the OSGeo tradition of hosting a code sprint right after [http://2019.foss4g.org FOSS4G 2019]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Participation is free of charge and anyone involved or interested in getting involved in OSGeo community projects is welcome.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can choose to contribute to one or more projects. The sky is the limit. There’s always plenty to do – 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 code sprint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== When ===&lt;br /&gt;
The code sprint will be held Saturday August 31 2019.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Where ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
University of Bucharest, Faculty of Geography (Bucharest, Romania) &lt;br /&gt;
* Bulevardul Nicolae Bălcescu 1, Bulevardul Nicolae Bălcescu 1&lt;br /&gt;
* https://en.unibuc.ro/academic-programmes/faculties/faculty-of-geography/&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Registered Attendees ==&lt;br /&gt;
The code sprint is free of charge but we kindly ask you to write down your name for better planning&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Code Sprint ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This year, we are following the OSGeo tradition of hosting a code sprint right after [http://2019.foss4g.org FOSS4G 2019]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Participation is free of charge and anyone involved or interested in getting involved in OSGeo community projects is welcome.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can choose to contribute to one or more projects. The sky is the limit. There’s always plenty to do – 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 code sprint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== When ===&lt;br /&gt;
The code sprint will be held Saturday August 31 2019.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Where ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
University of Bucharest, Faculty of Geography (Bucharest, Romania) &lt;br /&gt;
* Bulevardul Nicolae Bălcescu 1, Bulevardul Nicolae Bălcescu 1&lt;br /&gt;
* https://en.unibuc.ro/academic-programmes/faculties/faculty-of-geography/&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;= Basics =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* FOSS4G 2020 will most likely be held in North America.&lt;br /&gt;
** [http://2018.foss4g.org FOSS4G 2018] took place in Dar es Salam, Tanzania&lt;br /&gt;
** [http://2019.foss4g.org FOSS4G 2019] will be in Bucharest, Romania&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Letters of Intent&amp;quot; will be accepted from potential Local Organizing Committees (LOC) from North America. If there are no submissions from groups in North America, letters from other regions will then be solicited.&lt;br /&gt;
* Regardless whether one or more letter(s) of intent are received, the Conference Committee members will vote. The vote procedure for 2020 is as follows: Every member of CC votes on every LoI. LoI's that receive more than 50% of &amp;quot;thumbs up&amp;quot;-votes will pass stage 1.&lt;br /&gt;
* Selected letters will be invited to prepare a full bid based on the usual RFP process.&lt;br /&gt;
* A proposal outlining budget, potential sponsors, LOC members, and venue costs will be required, even if only one letter is received.&lt;br /&gt;
* Based on experiences from the past years, we would like to stress the following tasks:&lt;br /&gt;
** OSGeo anticiates a Travel Grant program. For this there is a budget from OSGeo, but we expect the bidder to further collect money for TGP and to offer free or at least reduced passes for grantees.&lt;br /&gt;
** The bid should stress the alignment with OSGeo values as given in OSGeo's CoC and contain hints on a conference CoC&lt;br /&gt;

== Bid Process Stage One ==&lt;br /&gt;
Dear Voting Members of OSGeo's Conference Committee,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I know, it's still some time left today, but as I am on my way back from Barcelona home tomorrow, I herewith send out the call on voting on the three fantastic LoI's for hosting FOSS4G 2020, that we received. Due to our timetable in [1] the voting period on the LoI's lasts from 13th to 18th of October (last possible time).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So please send your votes to:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arnulf Christl and Cameron Shorter&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voting mechanism for stage 1 is as follows: Please vote on every single LoI with one thumb up / thumb down each and send your *three* votes to the two guys mentioned above - no of the mails to me, neither CC, nor BCC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your Email can look as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halifax +1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Calgary +1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Niagara Falls +1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Of course only in case, that you vote *thumbs up* for all tree ;-). BTW: A vote against can be a &amp;quot;-1&amp;quot; and this is not comparable with the &amp;quot;-1&amp;quot; we know from OSgeo discussions, because here it does not require any reason and/or alternative, it just means &amp;quot;thumb down&amp;quot;.... )&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please find all relevant information on the WIKI [1]. The teams that receive more +1's than -1's LoI's will pass stage 1. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I hope, that ALL of us will send their voting emails to Arnulf and Cameron before the last possibe time on 18th of October 2018 passed - as said, we need a strong quorum, especially when there are three teams from one country bidding for the same conference.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;=== Questions from Steven Feldman ===&lt;br /&gt;
''Hi Steven,''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Thank you for your questions. We are very happy to clarify some points that may have appeared less well explained in our proposal. Do not hesitate to come back to us if you have any other questions.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''1. You have not provided the budget spreadsheet that was part of the RfP. Or did I miss it? Can you provide this to the Conference Committee?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''We have provided the spreadsheet budget directly in our proposal, under the Budget section, “Expenses and Revenues Spreadsheets” on page 31-33.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''2. Can you provide clarity on whether you will be videoing and/or streaming just the plenaries or some of the conference streams as well? Is this provided for in your budget?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''It is true that this section was less well developed in our proposal. The HLOC has planned to stream the plenaries and record the conferences to put them online after the event. In addition to the videos, we will make sure to post the PowerPoint/PDF presentations of every sessions. Of course, we will ask each speaker for permission to broadcast the content online.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''3. Your budget has a very high dependency on sponsorship (up to 45% of income), higher than most previous events. Can you explain in more detail where you expect this sponsorship to come from?What are your contingencies if your target is not achieved?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''We expect a lot of enthusiasm from a very large geospatial sector all across Canada, as FOSS4G comes back after 13 years since Victoria 2007. We will also have a very strong sponsors committee led by Jonathan Murphy of GoGeomatics, who hosts geospatial events from coast to coast in 15 different local communities, and already has a vast network of sponsors who will be interested in the foremost geospatial event of 2020. Additionally, we are planning to provide more affordable sponsorship options to smaller companies, and also considering increasing the number of available booths in the exhibitor space. Finally, we will leverage the large network of connections from members in our local organizing committee, and invest considerable efforts in reaching out for both recurring and new sponsors, all across Canada, but also in the United States and on the international front. Our budget includes a 5% contingency, but generates a considerable surplus even at the minimum budgeted number of attendees of 800, which can also act as contingency should we not manage to reach our sponsorship expectations.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''4. You have indicated that you will need seed funding of $50k from OSGeo, will you require any additional guarantees from OSGeo? You have proposed to remit 75% of any surplus back to OSGeo, the guideline in the RfP was for 85% to be returned to OSGeo, please explain why you are proposing a different level?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''We will not need any further guarantees from OSGeo to ensure the success of our event. The $50k seed funding will be enough to reserve the venue for the conference as well as the social events. We will avoid  incurring expenses beyond the total of seed funding, initial sponsorship and registration revenues.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Regarding the ratio of surrender of surplus, as explained in the proposal, 75% will be returned to OSGeo and 25% to the three OSGeo local chapters (OSGeo Atlantic Canada, OSGeo Quebec, and OSGeo Ottawa) organizing FOSS4G Halifax 2020. So, in the end, the LOC ensures that 100% of the surplus will be redistributed to the OSGeo community. We figured that this way, the 3 chapters could continue to spread the OSGeo activities to the local community. If however this is deemed problematic, we can accept surrendering 85% to the global OSGeo foundation.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''5. You refer to a payment to co-chairs who will undertake the tasks of a PCO, can you provide some more detail on the amount of these payments and the scope of work to be undertaken? Will there be a formal contract between the LOC and the co-chairs? Who will arbitrate in the event of a dispute?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''A global amount of $ 60K has been set aside to pay the co-chairs to organize the FOSS4G-HFX. This amount will be divided equally between the co-chairs. We are aware of the workload that such an event can cause. We speak from experience. However, we are lucky to be surrounded by an incredible LOC who all have exceptional qualities. We are also fortunate to have fairly flexible jobs that will allow us to complete the event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''For the moment, no formal contract has been signed between the LOC and the co-chairs. Be assured however that in the event that we win this bid, a contract will be put in place to define the roles of each and avoid any dispute.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''6. Can you confirm that the workshop fee of US $200 (EB) or $300 (Regular) is for 2 full days of workshops. Is there an option for attendees to register for only 1 or 2 workshops individually?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''We are very pleased that you raised this point. We will propose a rate of $100 per block workshops (AM or PM) in early bird which will increase to $125 at the regular rate.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''7. Can you confirm what level of discount on delegate fees you are offering to workshop presenters?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Workshop presenters will have free access to the entire event. This point was mentioned in the Budget section under Expenses / Gratuities, but we failed to mention it under the Grants and subsidies on the next page.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''8. In your budget you have a $62k line for Coordination (inc event planners, transport &amp;amp; hotels etc). Can you explain please?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''The amount for the Coordination will cover the organization costs of the event, ie $60K, which will be used to pay the co-chairs to organize the event. In addition, a $10K will be used to cover transportation costs, hotels reservations, meals, meeting room rentals and any other fees that will allow the co-chairs to make this event a success. We also added a $ 2K to pay other fees that could be added to the organization of the event.'' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''9. In your budget you have a $10k line for modifications to the registration system. Can you explain what this is and why it is needed?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''This covers integration within our conference website and testing, but also planned improvements, in particular to the presentation submission and community voting system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''One idea for improvement is making it easier to narrow down presentations during community voting, by offering a way to see them organized by topic of interest and additional classification/filtering capabilities, which we think would greatly enhance the community participation in the voting process.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Other improvements may be made as well.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''10. In your budget you have a line for “promotional stuff” running at almost $35/delegate - can you provide some more detail please?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Yes of course! We are happy to provide a tshirt for each participant who will register in early bird. In addition, in order to make this event more eco-friendly, we plan to provide reusable water bottles bearing the image of the event. We will also provide a reusable bag for each participant and are currently evaluating the possibility of giving a reusable glass for use during the various social activities. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''We also plan to print a small booklet (1-4 pages) summarizing the program and schedule, for the attendees' convenience. This will also be an opportunity to include sponsors logo. The detailed program will be accessible from a mobile app or on-line on the conference website.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''11. You mention a Travel Grant Programme of $20k - is this a contribution to the OSGeo TGP initiative or one that will be run independently by your LOC?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''We are very pleased to have included in our budget an amount of $20K that will be donated to the OSGeo TGP initiative. In addition to this amount, we imagined 2 other initiatives led by our LOC. The first will be to offer the opportunity to a participant to give a financial contribution of a minimum of $20 when registering.''&lt;br /&gt;
''The second initiative will be conducted with the collaboration of a local brewery. We will work with it to brew a FOSS4G beer. This one will be on sale before and during the event. For each beer sold, an amount will be accumulated and donated directly into our TGP.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''12. Can you confirm that any funds allocated to a TGP (your own or the OSGeo one) will be used for travel and subsistence support and that all TGP recipients willl receive a free conference pass in addition (i.e the TGP funds will not be used to cover delegate passes)?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''We confirm that all TGP funds will be used to pay for travel and financial support for a recipient. The HLOC also confirms that recipients of the subsidy will be given a free pass without any damage to the TGP.''&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

== About OSGeo Ottawa ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2005 the OGUG (Ottawa Grass Users Group) and OMSUG (Ottawa Map Server Users Group) had a preliminary joint meeting and decided to pursue merging and broadening our collective focus to include all OSGeo projects, catering to any interested users or developers in the Ottawa (National Capital Region) area.  Subsequently, we were officially designated as an OSGeo chapter in September of 2006 by the OSGeo Board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottawa MapServer Users Group (OMSUG) began meeting during the winter of 2003. With a strong local user base in Ottawa, representing many diverse users and developers, these meetings provide a unique opportunity for members to meet and discuss how MapServer is being leveraged in Ottawa and ways we can work together to grow its use in the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OGUG formed in June of 2005 as a network of GIS practitioners interested in incorporating or replacing their proprietary GIS workflow with Open Source GIS Solutions. OGUG aimed to be a central body of knowledge and expertise for the GRASS GIS Community in the Ottawa area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottawa Chapter of OSGeo was formed by the combination of those original two groups, but also includes active local users and developers of at LEAST the following OSGeo projects: GDAL/OGR, GRASS, Mapbuilder, MapGuide, and Mapserver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Powerpoint presentation reporting on our chapter's formation and first year of activity is available for download in its original [http://cemml.carleton.ca/osgeo_files/local-chap.ppt full version], or the [http://cemml.carleton.ca/osgeo_files/OttLocal-chap_condensed.ppt condensed form] created to squeeze into a tighter time constraint. &lt;br /&gt;

* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing#Organizing_your_writing How to Write Wiki]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Page Naming Conventions ===&lt;br /&gt;
Since the whole wiki uses a flat file structure instead of a directory structure there is a need to organize the pages relevant to our chapter's activities. To get this wiki area started I chose a simple page structure format&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
PREFIX:&lt;br /&gt;
To keep the site clean and to make it easier to locate all WIKI pages connected with the Ottawa Chapter please note the appropriate prefix. Use this prefix when creating new pages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prefix= Ottawa_Chapter&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The logic:&lt;br /&gt;
* Ottawa_Chapter_(Project Area)_(Topic)_(Sub Topic)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Examples:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ottawa_Chapter_OSGEO_meetings_072106&lt;br /&gt;
* Ottawa_Chapter_GRASS_Datasets&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally you might want to consider adding &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;[[Category:Ottawa Chapter]]&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt; to all pages tagging them for the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Special:Categories Wiki Categories]. Then add that category to the &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;[[Category:Local Chapters]]&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt; and have a category of categories. Or just go have some more beer. &lt;br /&gt;

Since the whole wiki uses a flat file structure instead of a directory structure there is a need to organize the pages relevant to our chapter's activities. To get this wiki area started I chose a simple page structure format&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
PREFIX:&lt;br /&gt;
To keep the site clean and to make it easier to locate all WIKI pages connected with the Ottawa Chapter please note the appropriate prefix. Use this prefix when creating new pages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prefix= Ottawa_Chapter&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The logic:&lt;br /&gt;
* Ottawa_Chapter_(Project Area)_(Topic)_(Sub Topic)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Examples:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ottawa_Chapter_OSGEO_meetings_072106&lt;br /&gt;
* Ottawa_Chapter_GRASS_Datasets&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally you might want to consider adding &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;[[Category:Ottawa Chapter]]&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt; to all pages tagging them for the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Special:Categories Wiki Categories]. Then add that category to the &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;[[Category:Local Chapters]]&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt; and have a category of categories. Or just go have some more beer. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Category:Local Chapters]]&lt;br /&gt;

This year, once again, we are following the old tradition of hosting a code sprint right after [http://2018.foss4g.org FOSS4G 2018]. &lt;br /&gt;
The code sprint will be held Saturday September 1rst and Sunday 2nd, 2018.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Participation in the code sprint is free of charge and all folks currently involved or interested in getting involved in OSGeo community projects are welcome.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is open to all who wish to participate in one or more projects. There’s always plenty to do – it’s not all about programming. Translation, documentation, feedback, discussions, and testing are also very important for projects! Registration with the conference is not a prerequisite for participation in code sprint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This year, once again, we are following the old tradition of hosting a code sprint right after [http://2018.foss4g.org FOSS4G 2018]. &lt;br /&gt;
The code sprint will be held Saturday September 1rst and Sunday 2nd, 2018.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Participation in the code sprint is free of charge and all folks currently involved or interested in getting involved in OSGeo community projects are welcome.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is open to all who wish to participate in one or more projects. There’s always plenty to do – it’s not all about programming. Translation, documentation, feedback, discussions, and testing are also very important for projects! Registration with the conference is not a prerequisite for participation in code sprint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== About OSGeo Ottawa ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2005 the OGUG (Ottawa Grass Users Group) and OMSUG (Ottawa Map Server Users Group) had a preliminary joint meeting and decided to pursue merging and broadening our collective focus to include all OSGeo projects, catering to any interested users or developers in the Ottawa (National Capital Region) area.  Subsequently, we were officially designated as an OSGeo chapter in September of 2006 by the OSGeo Board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottawa MapServer Users Group (OMSUG) began meeting during the winter of 2003. With a strong local user base in Ottawa, representing many diverse users and developers, these meetings provide a unique opportunity for members to meet and discuss how MapServer is being leveraged in Ottawa and ways we can work together to grow its use in the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OGUG formed in June of 2005 as a network of GIS practitioners interested in incorporating or replacing their proprietary GIS workflow with Open Source GIS Solutions. OGUG aimed to be a central body of knowledge and expertise for the GRASS GIS Community in the Ottawa area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottawa Chapter of OSGeo was formed by the combination of those original two groups, but also includes active local users and developers of at LEAST the following OSGeo projects: GDAL/OGR, GRASS, Mapbuilder, MapGuide, and Mapserver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Powerpoint presentation reporting on our chapter's formation and first year of activity is available for download in its original [http://cemml.carleton.ca/osgeo_files/local-chap.ppt full version], or the [http://cemml.carleton.ca/osgeo_files/OttLocal-chap_condensed.ppt condensed form] created to squeeze into a tighter time constraint. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Mission ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The OSGeo Ottawa Chapter exists to provide support for local users of Open Source Geospatial software, and to promote the goals and projects of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation.  The Chapter is focused on the National Capital Region around Ottawa with face to face meetings providing networking, support and educational opportunities to the local members.&lt;br /&gt;

== About OSGeo Ottawa ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2005 the OGUG (Ottawa Grass Users Group) and OMSUG (Ottawa Map Server Users Group) had a preliminary joint meeting and decided to pursue merging and broadening our collective focus to include all OSGeo projects, catering to any interested users or developers in the Ottawa (National Capital Region) area.  Subsequently, we were officially designated as an OSGeo chapter in September of 2006 by the OSGeo Board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottawa MapServer Users Group (OMSUG) began meeting during the winter of 2003. With a strong local user base in Ottawa, representing many diverse users and developers, these meetings provide a unique opportunity for members to meet and discuss how MapServer is being leveraged in Ottawa and ways we can work together to grow its use in the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OGUG formed in June of 2005 as a network of GIS practitioners interested in incorporating or replacing their proprietary GIS workflow with Open Source GIS Solutions. OGUG aimed to be a central body of knowledge and expertise for the GRASS GIS Community in the Ottawa area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottawa Chapter of OSGeo was formed by the combination of those original two groups, but also includes active local users and developers of at LEAST the following OSGeo projects: GDAL/OGR, GRASS, Mapbuilder, MapGuide, and Mapserver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Powerpoint presentation reporting on our chapter's formation and first year of activity is available for download in its original [http://cemml.carleton.ca/osgeo_files/local-chap.ppt full version], or the [http://cemml.carleton.ca/osgeo_files/OttLocal-chap_condensed.ppt condensed form] created to squeeze into a tighter time constraint. &lt;br /&gt;

== Contributing to this wiki ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== How To Write WIKI ===&lt;br /&gt;
Check out WikiPedia, where else. This is a great resource for many wiki writing tips&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing#Organizing_your_writing How to Write Wiki]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Page Naming Conventions ===&lt;br /&gt;
Since the whole wiki uses a flat file structure instead of a directory structure there is a need to organize the pages relevant to our chapter's activities. To get this wiki area started I chose a simple page structure format&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
PREFIX:&lt;br /&gt;
To keep the site clean and to make it easier to locate all WIKI pages connected with the Ottawa Chapter please note the appropriate prefix. Use this prefix when creating new pages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prefix= Ottawa_Chapter&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The logic:&lt;br /&gt;
* Ottawa_Chapter_(Project Area)_(Topic)_(Sub Topic)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Examples:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ottawa_Chapter_OSGEO_meetings_072106&lt;br /&gt;
* Ottawa_Chapter_GRASS_Datasets&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally you might want to consider adding &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;[[Category:Ottawa Chapter]]&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt; to all pages tagging them for the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Special:Categories Wiki Categories]. Then add that category to the &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;[[Category:Local Chapters]]&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt; and have a category of categories. Or just go have some more beer. &lt;br /&gt;

=== Page Naming Conventions ===&lt;br /&gt;
Since the whole wiki uses a flat file structure instead of a directory structure there is a need to organize the pages relevant to our chapter's activities. To get this wiki area started I chose a simple page structure format&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
PREFIX:&lt;br /&gt;
To keep the site clean and to make it easier to locate all WIKI pages connected with the Ottawa Chapter please note the appropriate prefix. Use this prefix when creating new pages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prefix= Ottawa_Chapter&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The logic:&lt;br /&gt;
* Ottawa_Chapter_(Project Area)_(Topic)_(Sub Topic)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Examples:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ottawa_Chapter_OSGEO_meetings_072106&lt;br /&gt;
* Ottawa_Chapter_GRASS_Datasets&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally you might want to consider adding &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;[[Category:Ottawa Chapter]]&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt; to all pages tagging them for the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Special:Categories Wiki Categories]. Then add that category to the &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;[[Category:Local Chapters]]&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt; and have a category of categories. Or just go have some more beer. &lt;br /&gt;

== About OSGeo Ottawa ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2005 the OGUG (Ottawa Grass Users Group) and OMSUG (Ottawa Map Server Users Group) had a preliminary joint meeting and decided to pursue merging and broadening our collective focus to include all OSGeo projects, catering to any interested users or developers in the Ottawa (National Capital Region) area.  Subsequently, we were officially designated as an OSGeo chapter in September of 2006 by the OSGeo Board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottawa MapServer Users Group (OMSUG) began meeting during the winter of 2003. With a strong local user base in Ottawa, representing many diverse users and developers, these meetings provide a unique opportunity for members to meet and discuss how MapServer is being leveraged in Ottawa and ways we can work together to grow its use in the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OGUG formed in June of 2005 as a network of GIS practitioners interested in incorporating or replacing their proprietary GIS workflow with Open Source GIS Solutions. OGUG aimed to be a central body of knowledge and expertise for the GRASS GIS Community in the Ottawa area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottawa Chapter of OSGeo was formed by the combination of those original two groups, but also includes active local users and developers of at LEAST the following OSGeo projects: GDAL/OGR, GRASS, Mapbuilder, MapGuide, and Mapserver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Powerpoint presentation reporting on our chapter's formation and first year of activity is available for download in its original [http://cemml.carleton.ca/osgeo_files/local-chap.ppt full version], or the [http://cemml.carleton.ca/osgeo_files/OttLocal-chap_condensed.ppt condensed form] created to squeeze into a tighter time constraint. &lt;br /&gt;

== About OSGeo Ottawa ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2005 the OGUG (Ottawa Grass Users Group) and OMSUG (Ottawa Map Server Users Group) had a preliminary joint meeting and decided to pursue merging and broadening our collective focus to include all OSGeo projects, catering to any interested users or developers in the Ottawa (National Capital Region) area.  Subsequently, we were officially designated as an OSGeo chapter in September of 2006 by the OSGeo Board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottawa MapServer Users Group (OMSUG) began meeting during the winter of 2003. With a strong local user base in Ottawa, representing many diverse users and developers, these meetings provide a unique opportunity for members to meet and discuss how MapServer is being leveraged in Ottawa and ways we can work together to grow its use in the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OGUG formed in June of 2005 as a network of GIS practitioners interested in incorporating or replacing their proprietary GIS workflow with Open Source GIS Solutions. OGUG aimed to be a central body of knowledge and expertise for the GRASS GIS Community in the Ottawa area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottawa Chapter of OSGeo was formed by the combination of those original two groups, but also includes active local users and developers of at LEAST the following OSGeo projects: GDAL/OGR, GRASS, Mapbuilder, MapGuide, and Mapserver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Powerpoint presentation reporting on our chapter's formation and first year of activity is available for download in its original [http://cemml.carleton.ca/osgeo_files/local-chap.ppt full version], or the [http://cemml.carleton.ca/osgeo_files/OttLocal-chap_condensed.ppt condensed form] created to squeeze into a tighter time constraint. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Mission ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The OSGeo Ottawa Chapter exists to provide support for local users of Open Source Geospatial software, and to promote the goals and projects of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation.  The Chapter is focused on the National Capital Region around Ottawa with face to face meetings providing networking, support and educational opportunities to the local members.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Objectives ===&lt;br /&gt;
* Monthly face to face meetings&lt;br /&gt;
** Networking&lt;br /&gt;
** Presentations&lt;br /&gt;
** Workshops and Tutorials&lt;br /&gt;

The Ottawa Chapter of OSGeo was formed by the combination of those original two groups, but also includes active local users and developers of at LEAST the following OSGeo projects: GDAL/OGR, GRASS, Mapbuilder, MapGuide, and Mapserver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== About OSGeo Ottawa ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2005 the OGUG (Ottawa Grass Users Group) and OMSUG (Ottawa Map Server Users Group) had a preliminary joint meeting and decided to pursue merging and broadening our collective focus to include all OSGeo projects, catering to any interested users or developers in the Ottawa (National Capital Region) area.  Subsequently, we were officially designated as an OSGeo chapter in September of 2006 by the OSGeo Board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottawa MapServer Users Group (OMSUG) began meeting during the winter of 2003. With a strong local user base in Ottawa, representing many diverse users and developers, these meetings provide a unique opportunity for members to meet and discuss how MapServer is being leveraged in Ottawa and ways we can work together to grow its use in the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OGUG formed in June of 2005 as a network of GIS practitioners interested in incorporating or replacing their proprietary GIS workflow with Open Source GIS Solutions. OGUG aimed to be a central body of knowledge and expertise for the GRASS GIS Community in the Ottawa area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottawa Chapter of OSGeo was formed by the combination of those original two groups, but also includes active local users and developers of at LEAST the following OSGeo projects: GDAL/OGR, GRASS, Mapbuilder, MapGuide, and Mapserver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Powerpoint presentation reporting on our chapter's formation and first year of activity is available for download in its original [http://cemml.carleton.ca/osgeo_files/local-chap.ppt full version], or the [http://cemml.carleton.ca/osgeo_files/OttLocal-chap_condensed.ppt condensed form] created to squeeze into a tighter time constraint. &lt;br /&gt;

== About OSGeo Ottawa ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2005 the OGUG (Ottawa Grass Users Group) and OMSUG (Ottawa Map Server Users Group) had a preliminary joint meeting and decided to pursue merging and broadening our collective focus to include all OSGeo projects, catering to any interested users or developers in the Ottawa (National Capital Region) area.  Subsequently, we were officially designated as an OSGeo chapter in September of 2006 by the OSGeo Board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottawa MapServer Users Group (OMSUG) began meeting during the winter of 2003. With a strong local user base in Ottawa, representing many diverse users and developers, these meetings provide a unique opportunity for members to meet and discuss how MapServer is being leveraged in Ottawa and ways we can work together to grow its use in the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OGUG formed in June of 2005 as a network of GIS practitioners interested in incorporating or replacing their proprietary GIS workflow with Open Source GIS Solutions. OGUG aimed to be a central body of knowledge and expertise for the GRASS GIS Community in the Ottawa area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottawa Chapter of OSGeo was formed by the combination of those original two groups, but also includes active local users and developers of at LEAST the following OSGeo projects: GDAL/OGR, GRASS, Mapbuilder, MapGuide, and Mapserver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Powerpoint presentation reporting on our chapter's formation and first year of activity is available for download in its original [http://cemml.carleton.ca/osgeo_files/local-chap.ppt full version], or the [http://cemml.carleton.ca/osgeo_files/OttLocal-chap_condensed.ppt condensed form] created to squeeze into a tighter time constraint. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== About OSGeo Ottawa ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2005 the OGUG (Ottawa Grass Users Group) and OMSUG (Ottawa Map Server Users Group) had a preliminary joint meeting and decided to pursue merging and broadening our collective focus to include all OSGeo projects, catering to any interested users or developers in the Ottawa (National Capital Region) area.  Subsequently, we were officially designated as an OSGeo chapter in September of 2006 by the OSGeo Board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottawa MapServer Users Group (OMSUG) began meeting during the winter of 2003. With a strong local user base in Ottawa, representing many diverse users and developers, these meetings provide a unique opportunity for members to meet and discuss how MapServer is being leveraged in Ottawa and ways we can work together to grow its use in the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OGUG formed in June of 2005 as a network of GIS practitioners interested in incorporating or replacing their proprietary GIS workflow with Open Source GIS Solutions. OGUG aimed to be a central body of knowledge and expertise for the GRASS GIS Community in the Ottawa area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottawa Chapter of OSGeo was formed by the combination of those original two groups, but also includes active local users and developers of at LEAST the following OSGeo projects: GDAL/OGR, GRASS, Mapbuilder, MapGuide, and Mapserver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Powerpoint presentation reporting on our chapter's formation and first year of activity is available for download in its original [http://cemml.carleton.ca/osgeo_files/local-chap.ppt full version], or the [http://cemml.carleton.ca/osgeo_files/OttLocal-chap_condensed.ppt condensed form] created to squeeze into a tighter time constraint. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Mission ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The OSGeo Ottawa Chapter exists to provide support for local users of Open Source Geospatial software, and to promote the goals and projects of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation.

=== Page Naming Conventions ===&lt;br /&gt;
Since the whole wiki uses a flat file structure instead of a directory structure there is a need to organize the pages relevant to our chapter's activities. To get this wiki area started I chose a simple page structure format&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
PREFIX:&lt;br /&gt;
To keep the site clean and to make it easier to locate all WIKI pages connected with the Ottawa Chapter please note the appropriate prefix. Use this prefix when creating new pages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prefix= Ottawa_Chapter&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The logic:&lt;br /&gt;
* Ottawa_Chapter_(Project Area)_(Topic)_(Sub Topic)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Examples:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ottawa_Chapter_OSGEO_meetings_072106&lt;br /&gt;
* Ottawa_Chapter_GRASS_Datasets&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally you might want to consider adding &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;[[Category:Ottawa Chapter]]&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt; to all pages tagging them for the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Special:Categories Wiki Categories].

== About OSGeo Ottawa ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2005 the OGUG (Ottawa Grass Users Group) and OMSUG (Ottawa Map Server Users Group) had a preliminary joint meeting and decided to pursue merging and broadening our collective focus to include all OSGeo projects, catering to any interested users or developers in the Ottawa (National Capital Region) area.  Subsequently, we were officially designated as an OSGeo chapter in September of 2006 by the OSGeo Board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottawa MapServer Users Group (OMSUG) began meeting during the winter of 2003. With a strong local user base in Ottawa, representing many diverse users and developers, these meetings provide a unique opportunity for members to meet and discuss how MapServer is being leveraged in Ottawa and ways we can work together to grow its use in the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OGUG formed in June of 2005 as a network of GIS practitioners interested in incorporating or replacing their proprietary GIS workflow with Open Source GIS Solutions. OGUG aimed to be a central body of knowledge and expertise for the GRASS GIS Community in the Ottawa area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottawa Chapter of OSGeo was formed by the combination of those original two groups, but also includes active local users and developers of at LEAST the following OSGeo projects: GDAL/OGR, GRASS, Mapbuilder, MapGuide, and Mapserver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Powerpoint presentation reporting on our chapter's formation and first year of activity is available for download in its original [http://cemml.carleton.ca/osgeo_files/local-chap.ppt full version], or the [http://cemml.carleton.ca/osgeo_files/OttLocal-chap_condensed.ppt condensed form] created to squeeze into a tighter time constraint. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Mission ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The OSGeo Ottawa Chapter exists to provide support for local users of Open Source Geospatial software, and to promote the goals and projects of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation.  The Chapter is focused on the National Capital Region around Ottawa with face to face meetings providing networking, support and educational opportunities to the local members.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Objectives ===&lt;br /&gt;
* Monthly face to face meetings&lt;br /&gt;

=== Page Naming Conventions ===&lt;br /&gt;
Since the whole wiki uses a flat file structure instead of a directory structure there is a need to organize the pages relevant to our chapter's activities. To get this wiki area started I chose a simple page structure format&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
PREFIX:&lt;br /&gt;
To keep the site clean and to make it easier to locate all WIKI pages connected with the Ottawa Chapter please note the appropriate prefix. Use this prefix when creating new pages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prefix= Ottawa_Chapter&lt;br /&gt;

== About OSGeo Ottawa ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2005 the OGUG (Ottawa Grass Users Group) and OMSUG (Ottawa Map Server Users Group) had a preliminary joint meeting and decided to pursue merging and broadening our collective focus to include all OSGeo projects, catering to any interested users or developers in the Ottawa (National Capital Region) area.  Subsequently, we were officially designated as an OSGeo chapter in September of 2006 by the OSGeo Board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottawa MapServer Users Group (OMSUG) began meeting during the winter of 2003. With a strong local user base in Ottawa, representing many diverse users and developers, these meetings provide a unique opportunity for members to meet and discuss how MapServer is being leveraged in Ottawa and ways we can work together to grow its use in the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OGUG formed in June of 2005 as a network of GIS practitioners interested in incorporating or replacing their proprietary GIS workflow with Open Source GIS Solutions. OGUG aimed to be a central body of knowledge and expertise for the GRASS GIS Community in the Ottawa area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottawa Chapter of OSGeo was formed by the combination of those original two groups, but also includes active local users and developers of at LEAST the following OSGeo projects: GDAL/OGR, GRASS, Mapbuilder, MapGuide, and Mapserver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Powerpoint presentation reporting on our chapter's formation and first year of activity is available for download in its original [http://cemml.carleton.ca/osgeo_files/local-chap.ppt full version], or the [http://cemml.carleton.ca/osgeo_files/OttLocal-chap_condensed.ppt condensed form] created to squeeze into a tighter time constraint. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Mission ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The OSGeo Ottawa Chapter exists to provide support for local users of Open Source Geospatial software, and to promote the goals and projects of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation.  The Chapter is focused on the National Capital Region around Ottawa with face to face meetings providing networking, support and educational opportunities to the local members.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Objectives ===&lt;br /&gt;
* Monthly face to face meetings&lt;br /&gt;

== About OSGeo Ottawa ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2005 the OGUG (Ottawa Grass Users Group) and OMSUG (Ottawa Map Server Users Group) had a preliminary joint meeting and decided to pursue merging and broadening our collective focus to include all OSGeo projects, catering to any interested users or developers in the Ottawa (National Capital Region) area.  Subsequently, we were officially designated as an OSGeo chapter in September of 2006 by the OSGeo Board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottawa MapServer Users Group (OMSUG) began meeting during the winter of 2003. With a strong local user base in Ottawa, representing many diverse users and developers, these meetings provide a unique opportunity for members to meet and discuss how MapServer is being leveraged in Ottawa and ways we can work together to grow its use in the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OGUG formed in June of 2005 as a network of GIS practitioners interested in incorporating or replacing their proprietary GIS workflow with Open Source GIS Solutions. OGUG aimed to be a central body of knowledge and expertise for the GRASS GIS Community in the Ottawa area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottawa Chapter of OSGeo was formed by the combination of those original two groups, but also includes active local users and developers of at LEAST the following OSGeo projects: GDAL/OGR, GRASS, Mapbuilder, MapGuide, and Mapserver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Powerpoint presentation reporting on our chapter's formation and first year of activity is available for download in its original [http://cemml.carleton.ca/osgeo_files/local-chap.ppt full version], or the [http://cemml.carleton.ca/osgeo_files/OttLocal-chap_condensed.ppt condensed form] created to squeeze into a tighter time constraint. &lt;br /&gt;

== About OSGeo Ottawa ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2005 the OGUG (Ottawa Grass Users Group) and OMSUG (Ottawa Map Server Users Group) had a preliminary joint meeting and decided to pursue merging and broadening our collective focus to include all OSGeo projects, catering to any interested users or developers in the Ottawa (National Capital Region) area.  Subsequently, we were officially designated as an OSGeo chapter in September of 2006 by the OSGeo Board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottawa MapServer Users Group (OMSUG) began meeting during the winter of 2003. With a strong local user base in Ottawa, representing many diverse users and developers, these meetings provide a unique opportunity for members to meet and discuss how MapServer is being leveraged in Ottawa and ways we can work together to grow its use in the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OGUG formed in June of 2005 as a network of GIS practitioners interested in incorporating or replacing their proprietary GIS workflow with Open Source GIS Solutions. OGUG aimed to be a central body of knowledge and expertise for the GRASS GIS Community in the Ottawa area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ottawa Chapter of OSGeo was formed by the combination of those original two groups, but also includes active local users and developers of at LEAST the following OSGeo projects: GDAL/OGR, GRASS, Mapbuilder, MapGuide, and Mapserver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Powerpoint presentation reporting on our chapter's formation and first year of activity is available for download in its original [http://cemml.carleton.ca/osgeo_files/local-chap.ppt full version], or the [http://cemml.carleton.ca/osgeo_files/OttLocal-chap_condensed.ppt condensed form] created to squeeze into a tighter time constraint. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Mission ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The OSGeo Ottawa Chapter exists to provide support for local users of Open Source Geospatial software, and to promote the goals and projects of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation.  The Chapter is focused on the National Capital Region around Ottawa with face to face meetings providing networking, support and educational opportunities to the local members.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Page Naming Conventions ===&lt;br /&gt;
Since the whole wiki uses a flat file structure instead of a directory structure there is a need to organize the pages relevant to our chapter's activities. To get this wiki area started I chose a simple page structure format&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
PREFIX:&lt;br /&gt;
To keep the site clean and to make it easier to locate all WIKI pages connected with the Ottawa Chapter please note the appropriate prefix. Use this prefix when creating new pages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prefix= Ottawa_Chapter&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The logic:&lt;br /&gt;
* Ottawa_Chapter_(Project Area)_(Topic)_(Sub Topic)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Examples:&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Ottawa_Chapter_OSGEO_meetings_072106&lt;br /&gt;
* Ottawa_Chapter_GRASS_Datasets&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally you might want to consider adding &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;[[Category:Ottawa Chapter]]&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt; to all pages tagging them for the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Special:Categories Wiki Categories]. Then add that category to the &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;[[Category:Local Chapters]]&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt; and have a category of categories. Or just go have some more beer. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Code Sprint - what's that?  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A code sprint is about getting a group together to work on Open Source software, sitting around a table and sharing ideas. It's not just about writing code, as you know a project has many needs including documentation, testing, and providing feedback. What a better way to give feedback and give back to the project that you love than to spend a day with the project's developers. There are roles needed to be filled, no matter what your expertise. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With such a short timeframe (one day) you should probably use this page to set a specific goal for your project. But don't worry, if all you get done is actually sitting at the same table with the project's developers and talking about the next release, that is also great&amp;amp;nbsp;:)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Who ==&lt;br /&gt;
All participants are welcome and you don't need to register or attend FOSS4G to attend the Code Sprint (registering here on the wiki is appreciated for planning purposes like coffee and food).  Some projects will prefer attendees who have previously engaged with the project and already have a working development environment on their computer (i.e. not all project will welcome helping you set up your development environment).  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*Kickstart the development of our new open-source graphics engine which will power both the new version of the [http://ecere.org cross-platform UI toolkit] (featuring [http://ecere.org/ideas/gui/#autolayout auto-layout] and [http://ecere.org/ideas/gui/#csgui cascading style sheets]) as well as the new capabilities of our [http://ecere.ca/gnosis GNOSIS geo-spatial SDK], such as [http://ecere.org/ideas/graphics/#curvedtext curved text] labels and smart label placement, and improved vector graphics support. The first back-end implementation for the new engine will likely be based on OpenGL ES 2.0 in order to support both a wide variety of mobile and desktop devices as well as WebGL deployment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See http://ecere.org/ideas/graphics/ for more info and a detailed development plan.&lt;br /&gt;
