SUBJECT: Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software - Call for Nominations

The Open Source Geospatial Foundation would like to open nominations for the 2025 Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software.

The Sol Katz Award for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) will be given to individuals who have demonstrated leadership in the FOSS4G community. Recipients of the award will have contributed significantly through their activities to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm.

Solomon 'Sol' Katz was an early pioneer of FOSS4G and left behind a large body of work in the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities while at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. This early FOSS4G archive provided both source code and applications freely available to the community. Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much guidance to the geospatial community at large.

Sol unfortunately passed away in 1999 from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, but his legacy lives on in the open source world. Those interested in making a donation to the American Cancer Society, as per Sol's family's request, can do so at https://donate.cancer.org .

Nominations for the Sol Katz Award should be sent to ''solkatzaward at lists dot osgeo dot org'' with a description of the reasons for this nomination (after sending, please wait for the moderator to accept your message). Nominations will be accepted until end-of-day 12th September [https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe Anywhere on Earth]. A recipient will be decided from the nomination list by the OSGeo selection committee.

The winner of the Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software will be announced virtually during the FOSS4G 2025 event in Auckland, New Zealand. The hope is that the award will both acknowledge the work of community members, and pay tribute to one of its founders, for years to come.

It should be noted that past awardees and selection committee members are not eligible.

== Solomon Stuart Katz aka Sol 1947-1999 ==

=== Background ===

Solomon 'Sol' Katz was born in Sweden (on August 3rd, 1947) and moved to NY at the age of 1. Yiddish was
his first language, but he was amazingly bright, and learned both Hebrew
and English quickly. After high school, he spent three years in the US
Air Force, stationed in Germany, where he picked up yet another language.
Following his brief military career, he decided to go to Brooklyn College
in NY where he got his Bachelors in Geology in 2.5 years. He then married
his wife Hedy in 1969, and went back to Brooklyn College while teaching in
NY Public Schools and got his MA, also in Geology. After several years
working for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in several states, he settled down
in Lakewood, CO and decided to go back to school at the University of Denver in
Computer Science and earned a second masters. At this time, he also had two
children - Shanna and Risa. He was well loved in his office, at his
children's school, and at home. Always full of laughter and good humor,
Sol could easily be recognized by his flamboyant Hawaiian shirts and toucan
or propeller hats. Sadly, after fighting Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma for
almost a decade, Sol died April 23, 1999 in bed.

=== Open Source ===

Sol Katz was an early pioneer of GFOSS and left behind a large body of work in
the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities. In the early 80's,
Sol assisted in the development of a public domain GIS package called [[Open Source GIS History|MOSS]]
(Map Overlay and Statistical System). This software was arguably the first open
source GIS software in the world. Sol would later go on to release and maintain PC MOSS (GitHub archive: https://github.com/OSGeo/MOSS/). He was also one of the first involved in public data translator
utilities. Utilities that he developed for converting DEMs and reading SDTS files
were contributed back to the geospatial community, and are still available today (GitHub archive: https://github.com/jmckenna/sdts2dem). Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much
guidance to the geospatial community at large. Sol Katz's collection of GIS utilities
at the BLM continues to be implemented by many software projects. His legacy still lives on
in the GFOSS world.

Sol's code continues to be implemented in many software drivers, including the updated [https://www2.cs.arizona.edu/projects/topovista/sdts2dem/ sdts2dem] utility. Sol Katz's collection of GIS utilities at the BLM was formerly available at <nowiki>ftp://ftp.blm.gov/pub/gis/</nowiki>.

SUBJECT: Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software - Call for Nominations

The Open Source Geospatial Foundation would like to open nominations for the 2025 Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software.

The Sol Katz Award for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) will be given to individuals who have demonstrated leadership in the FOSS4G community. Recipients of the award will have contributed significantly through their activities to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm.

Solomon 'Sol' Katz was an early pioneer of FOSS4G and left behind a large body of work in the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities while at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. This early FOSS4G archive provided both source code and applications freely available to the community. Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much guidance to the geospatial community at large.

Sol unfortunately passed away in 1999 from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, but his legacy lives on in the open source world. Those interested in making a donation to the American Cancer Society, as per Sol's family's request, can do so at https://donate.cancer.org .

Nominations for the Sol Katz Award should be sent to ''solkatzaward at lists dot osgeo dot org'' with a description of the reasons for this nomination (after sending, please wait for the moderator to accept your message). Nominations will be accepted until end-of-day 12th September [https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe Anywhere on Earth]. A recipient will be decided from the nomination list by the OSGeo selection committee.

The winner of the Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software will be announced virtually during the FOSS4G 2025 event in Auckland, New Zealand. The hope is that the award will both acknowledge the work of community members, and pay tribute to one of its founders, for years to come.

It should be noted that past awardees and selection committee members are not eligible.

= Extended Program Text =

The Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software (GFOSS) is awarded
annually by OSGeo to individuals who have demonstrated leadership in the GFOSS community.
Recipients of the award will have contributed significantly through their activities to advance
open source ideals in the geospatial realm. The hope is that the award will both
acknowledge the work of community members, and pay tribute to one of its founders,
for years to come.

== Solomon Stuart Katz aka Sol 1947-1999 ==

=== Background ===

Solomon 'Sol' Katz was born in Sweden (on August 3rd, 1947) and moved to NY at the age of 1. Yiddish was
his first language, but he was amazingly bright, and learned both Hebrew
and English quickly. After high school, he spent three years in the US
Air Force, stationed in Germany, where he picked up yet another language.
Following his brief military career, he decided to go to Brooklyn College
in NY where he got his Bachelors in Geology in 2.5 years. He then married
his wife Hedy in 1969, and went back to Brooklyn College while teaching in
NY Public Schools and got his MA, also in Geology. After several years
working for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in several states, he settled down
in Lakewood, CO and decided to go back to school at the University of Denver in
Computer Science and earned a second masters. At this time, he also had two
children - Shanna and Risa. He was well loved in his office, at his
children's school, and at home. Always full of laughter and good humor,
Sol could easily be recognized by his flamboyant Hawaiian shirts and toucan
or propeller hats. Sadly, after fighting Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma for
almost a decade, Sol died April 23, 1999 in bed.

=== Open Source ===

Sol Katz was an early pioneer of GFOSS and left behind a large body of work in
the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities. In the early 80's,
Sol assisted in the development of a public domain GIS package called [[Open Source GIS History|MOSS]]
(Map Overlay and Statistical System). This software was arguably the first open
source GIS software in the world. Sol would later go on to release and maintain PC MOSS (GitHub archive: https://github.com/OSGeo/MOSS/). He was also one of the first involved in public data translator
utilities. Utilities that he developed for converting DEMs and reading SDTS files
were contributed back to the geospatial community, and are still available today (GitHub archive: https://github.com/jmckenna/sdts2dem). Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much
guidance to the geospatial community at large. Sol Katz's collection of GIS utilities
at the BLM continues to be implemented by many software projects. His legacy still lives on
in the GFOSS world.

= Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) =

== Scope ==
* This wiki page summarises relevant facts about DOI and related persistent Identifiers (PID) for the OSGeo communities.
* A DOI is a [[Persistent_identifiers(pid)|persistent identifier (PID)]].
* More infomation about PID for OSGeo is available [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Persistent_identifiers(pid) here] in the wiki

== Useful background information ==

== Howto information for GitHub Repo maintainers (source [https://help.zenodo.org/ Zenodo FAQ]) ==

=== My organizational repository does not show up on the GitHub list ===

''"In order to see and archive your organizational repositories on Zenodo you will need to have "Admin" permissions on said repository, either as an Admin of the organization or an Admin of one of your organization's repositories. Additionally, please make sure that the OAuth application on GitHub is granting permissions not only to your personal repositories but also to your organizational ones - to verify that go to your GitHub OAuth settings in your profile, and click on the Zenodo application to see more details. Make sure that Zenodo is given access (green tick) to your organization under "Organization access".

After that, navigate to your Zenodo GitHub settings page and click the "Sync now" button at the top."''

=== I made a GitHub release, but it does not show up on Zenodo. ===

''"Make sure the repository was enabled before the release was made, otherwise feel free to contact ZENODO."
''

=== Is it possible to archive a GitHub repository, before it was enabled on Zenodo? ===

''"Only the repositories which were enabled before a release was made will be archived automatically. If you want to archive some of your old releases, you can always download a release ZIP from GitHub and upload it to Zenodo using our web interface as a regular upload."''

=== How to change the default metadata for my GitHub releases? ===

''"You can include metadata in a .zenodo.json file at the root of your GitHub repository. This file's contents should be in line with the Zenodo deposit metadata schema and will be used to update the metadata from future GitHub releases. For more information on how to create a .zenodo.json file, you can have a look at our GitHub integration documenation."''

=== Do you support other software metadata files, like CITATION.cff or codemeta.json? ===

''"Part of our plans and ongoing work is to take into account or improve our integration of other software metadata schemas such as the Citation File Format (CFF) and CodeMeta. We are working closely with our users and scholarly software and citation communities to figure out exactly when, in what form, and how all these different metadata schemas and their files will be integrated into Zenodo."''

=== How does a CITATION.cff file affect the metadata of my GitHub release? ===

''"When we find a CITATION.cff file in your GitHub repository's root folder, we make a best-effort attempt at parsing Zenodo-compatible metadata from it.
For backwards-compatibility, if you have a .zenodo.json file in the repository, only the .zenodo.json's metadata will be taken into account. Of course, any existing valid CITATION.cff file will still be used to display the citation box on the GitHub repository page, but will not affect in any way the metadata we extract for your published release Zenodo record."''

=== Do you support versioning for already existing records? ===

''"Yes. However, for uploads published before the 30th of May 2017, you have to first upgrade your record to support versioning. This is done by clicking the “Upgrade to versioned record” button on the record page.

IMPORTANT If you have previously uploaded multiple versions of an upload as individual records on Zenodo, then DO NOT click the button to upgrade your record with versioning support. Please contact us so we can link the records under one versioning scheme.

Clicking the “Upgrade to versioned record” button on any of the records you would like to link, will irreversibly register them as individually-versioned records.

If you used the GitHub integration to archive your software on Zenodo, then we have already migrated and linked your records to support versioning."''

BEWARE: As of now (2023-03-27) it remains to be confirmed that DOI-tags in citations work without the https://doi.org-header. This might (just) result in human readable information, but not machine-readable.

== Added-value services based on DOI ==

* [https://citation.crosscite.org/ Citation service by DataCite: Enter a DOI to create properly formatted references according to over 2400 citation styles for books, articles, etc.]

== Personal due credit from DOI via ORCID ==

[https://orcid.org/ ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID)] is a persistent identifier (PID) like DOI. It is used to identify a human person.

DOI and ORCID can be interlinked via the digital infrastructure services provided by the organisations DataCite and CrossRef.

If a OSGeo-related software DOI is minted in Zenodo, the DataCite infrastructure can automatically forward and register this information in the ORCID accounts of the code authors. For this to work, two requirements are needed:
# Code authors ORCIDs must be provided via the CITATION.cff file in the codebase.
# A code author with an ORCID must have added Zenodo as a trusted organisation in the ORCID account settings, as [https://support.orcid.org/hc/en-us/articles/360006973893-Trusted-organizations described here.]

Once a scientific publication is published (journal article, book, book chapter, etc.) and has received a publication DOI via CrossRef, this information can also be automatically forwarded to registered in ORCID. This requires, that CrossRef is added to the list of accepted parties in the ORCID account settings.

==
== OSGeo Projects with DOI ==

The following citation listings for OSGeo projects are curated both manually and using automated data-harvesting from [https://www.crossref.org/ CrossRef]. The lists are currently updated at least once per year. The listings are not complete.
The total number of scientific publications referencing OSGeo projects by their DOI is most likely much larger. Publications such as FOSS4G Proceedings in The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences are currently '''not''' referenced by CrossRef and must be added manually.

== DOI acknowledgement by Publishers and Journals ==

References in indexed scientific literature to research software, including the OSGeo software projects, can be counted as citations and due scientific credit for the persons developing and maintaining the research software).

The emerging best practice for software references is reference by DOI. Such a DOI reference can either refer to the software project as a whole (concept DOI), or a particular release of the codebase (version DOI).

Keeping track of DOI-based software citations can both be done manually or by automated analysis of metadata about the publication provided centrally by CrossRef or DataCite.

The prerequisite for automated analysis and reporting (as in FA'''''I'''''R: machine-actionable and interoperable) is the provision of a full references list for the publication as a complete set of metadata to CrossRef.

If only a limited subset of the reference list is provided to CrossRef, metadata-based automated analysis and reporting will return no result, meaning no information about the citation.

In such a case, despite the best intentions by the publication authors by using DOI-based software citations in their publication, because of the lack of metadata, automated reporting will return no result and there will be no due credit by citation to the software project.

This also affects the software developer team, as there will be no credit / recognition of their roles as (research-)software authors, because there is no automated transitive credit to their individual ORCID accounts will be triggered.

Currently it is difficult at best for propective authors to assess prior to a publication whether software-references by DOI will be indexed by CrossRef, resulting in FAIR credit.

To mitigate this, incomplete lists are being compiled (below) of journals, for convenience of prospective authors, to assess wheter software-references will result in credit propagation to the software project and developer team.

* A greenlist collects journals and publications with confirmed software citations derived from CrossRef metadata.

* A whitelist compiles journals and publications with identical metadata practices to the greenlist, but where no DOI-based software citation has been confirmed yet.

* A greylist collects journals, where OSGeo-DOI have been used in publications, yet currently are not being indexed by CrossRef.

For scientific authors, the difference between a publication in a green-, whitelist or greylist journal is wether DOI-based references to OSGeo software, -data or -video will be automagically attributed ("due scientific credit") to the respective OSGeo community / persons. For greylist journals, such attribution needs to be compiled manually.

= Open Letter to OGC and voting members =

May 2013

We, the undersigned, have concerns that approving the "Geoservices REST API" as an OGC standard, will have detrimental impacts on interoperability within the spatial industry.

We strongly urge that the proposed "Geoservices REST API", as it stands in May 2013, be rejected as an OGC standard.

People have listed different reasons for concern. These concerns are described below.

= Summary =

The OGC candidate standard titled "GeoServices REST API" is currently, in May 2013, being considered to be approved as an Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standard. The vote to accept the document as a standard is unusually contentious. The controversy is the cause of this open letter.

The candidate standard was previously released for public comment and can be found [http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/requests/89 on the request for public comment page] (though public comment has been closed for now).

The candidate standard attempts to standardize a suite of web services such as a service which provides map images, a service which provides geospatial feature data, and a service which performs geospatial processing. The candidate standard focuses on interactions via a defined hierarchy of URLs and using predominantly a particular set of JSON schemas for the exchange of geospatial data.

== Criticism and Response ==

The '''criticism''' of the adoption of this particular document as an OGC Standard includes a wide variety of reasons such as:

* the OGC's process through which the document was developed which is thought to lack sufficient flexibility to respond to input from various stakeholders,
* the focus of the document on 'REST' and 'API' which is seen as not matching the ideas others have for these concepts,
* the names of the standard and of the services which are seen as potentially confusing,
* the functionality of the new services which are considered to duplicate that of existing services already standardized by the OGC such as WMS, WFS, WCS, and WPS,
* the addition of a new set of services based on new URL patterns and new JSON exchange formats which is seen as duplicating the efforts of other working groups bringing similar ideas to the updates of existing OGC services,
* the re-introduction in the new services of previously resolved interoperability issues which is seen as failing to build on the existing knowledge and experience,
* the use of the particular JSON schemas which are seen as having little industry acceptance and are incompatible with other widely used schemas, and
* the lack of implementation diversity which is thought to give the vendor of the one complete implementation an unusual commercial advantage on top of the vendor's already dominant position in the domain.

These issues have potential impacts on the use of 'Open Standards' by governments and companies, on the interoperability of software interacting with standards compliant OGC services, on the costs to developers and users of standards compliant software, on the understanding of 'Open Standards' by the public at large, and, possibly, on the reputation of the OGC as a champion of interoperability.

In particular there are concerns by some that adoption of the standard will likely result in a combination of the following:
# The cost to application developers, systems integrators, testers and sponsors to support all relevant OGC standards will be substantially increased.
# Consequently, organisations and/or applications may choose to only support one standard, or only support one standard fully.
# Sponsors (such as governments) who require compliance with OGC standards will discover that applications don't communicate together, due to applications supporting different OGC standards that essentially do the same thing.
# This will result in a diminished importance of OGC, as the "OGC standards" stamp of approval will not equate interoperability.
# After a while, in order to solve interoperability issues, a respected international organisation or program will likely take the initiative to mandate one standard as the preferred standard for all agencies to follow. To date, the OGC has provided this leadership.
# One standard taking prominence over the other will likely lead to the other being neglected or deprecated, resulting in many OGC compliant systems becoming legacy systems in the process. This should be considered an undesirable outcome for a standards organisation.

In '''response''' to these issues, the authors of the Geoservices REST API document have stated that:

* the process of the OGC has been followed completely,
* the specification actually is RESTful and does define an API,
* the name, due to the controversy, is open for modification
* the OGC does not forbid duplication of service functionality, already has duplication between the W*S and the S*S (sensor) family of standards, should not block progress in the name of 'one true way', and harmonization between the services can be considered in the future,
* the JSON format exists and functions, and
* there are alternative implementations for some of these services.

The authors also stress that the existence of a large user base shows the service is useful, and that the standardization of the services at the OGC may encourage new implementations.

The SWG has published two documents in response to various comments.
* [https://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=54048 OGC 12-646 Response to RFC Comments] presents the responses from the Standards Working Group to the comments received from the public during the public Request for Comments (RFC).
* [https://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=54049 OGC 13-031r1 Response to 'no' votes] presents the responses from the Standards Working Group to the reasons given by the organizations voting _no_ during the adoption vote.

Both are available through the links above, or via the [http://www.opengeospatial.org/projects/groups/gservrestswg public page] of the Standards Working Group.

= Positions on the vote =

The discussion raises a number of issues, many based upon complex technical concepts and implications. This makes it difficult for voting OGC members considering whether to support (or not) the "Geoservices REST API" as a standard. The following provides one analysis of the positions on the vote, aimed to simplify and summarize key points. However, it does not necessarily represent the opinions held by all signatories above.

; The pros for accepting the "Geoservices REST API" document as an OGC standard:

:* The OGC should be in the business of developing good standards, not in choosing which standards should be implemented.
:* The proposers of the document want to make a standard and have followed all the rules of the OGC. The work of any such group of members deserves serious, good faith consideration.
:* The need for an integrated suite of services using simple data, which is addressed (partially) by the document, is real. The proposed document is pushing the OGC on this issue.
:* The proposed document could be useful to a number of people.
:* The proposed document is not significantly more broken than the existing standards of the OGC. As one author of standards [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2013-May/011667.html notes]:
:''"I know how totally impossible it is to write a good standard, so the weaknesses in the existing document seem more acceptable."''

; The cons:

:* The OGC actually is, whether it should be or not, in the position of recommending interoperable standards for geospatial services. The proposed document is not good enough, has implementations dominated by one vendor's server implementation, and not publicly supported enough, to be considered at the same level as existing standards.
:* Adopting a standard implies a desire to maintain the standard, but OGC's desire to support this approach has been questioned by some. In particular, the lack of collaboration and willingness to accept recommendations from the community on this version of the "Geoservices REST API" document bodes ill for the future.
:* The overlap in functionality between the proposed services and the existing services, notably with the ongoing work to modularize the existing services, is almost 100 percent. However, compatibility is low.
:* There is already a published document: http://www.esri.com/library/whitepapers/pdfs/geoservices-rest-spec.pdf so there is no need for the document to be adopted as an OGC Standard merely for interoperability with the ESRI implementation.
:* The document, as a new, separate effort, repeats mistakes which were made and since solved by the other services.
:* The document focuses on the past (notably with backwards compatibility and use of only GET/POST) not on the future.
:* The document needs a comprehensive editorial review and substantial rewriting for clarity.

; A conclusion:

Both simple answers are bad.

A simple acceptance of the standard would introduce a new set of 'OGC approved' open services. The OGC approval might enable governments to buy a XXXX-new-name-here-XXXX solution instead of a W*S or a S*S solution. The path forwards towards harmonizing the services is unclear. Fixing this document in addition to fixing the W*S services will be a pain.

Simply rejecting the solution would be bad for the OGC. It would place the OGC in the position of picking winners and losers in the standards business. It would mean that the OGC is stuck on the project of fixing the W*S standards to meet some nebulous future functionality without having any path to get there. It would discourage innovation and progress.

Is there any third way?

Well, actually, there is a different way of thinking of the issue. Overall, there appears to be a shared desire for an integrated suite of geospatial services, originally focused on a simple data model, built on the exchange of well defined resources in simple formats including JSON, accessible and usable using the core HTTP verbs, and discoverable through following HTML links and patterns of URL paths. The hope is that such a suite can be designed based on the best expertise of the OGC, can be widely supported by the community, and can be implemented and tested by multiple groups. Neither the proposed document, nor the current services meet this vision. So the work, ultimately, is on improving all the services at the OGC, first to modularize them, then to enable simple implementations, and finally to link those implementations into a functional suite. Since this is the work that is already happening, perhaps the vote is an unfortunate distraction and the productive way forward is merely to redouble the efforts to create the next versions of the standards.

= Issues with the document =

Beyond the controversy described above, there are issues with the Geoservices REST API document itself. Even if the standard deserves support, these issues could be considered blockers to the adoption of the current, May 2013, document.

The critique is incomplete because it quickly falls into a full editorial review of the text, something which takes a lot of time and effort and is beyond the scope and intent of this Open Letter.

The critique can be found at: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoservices_REST_API_critique.

Note that some of these critiques hold the document to OGC's current, standards writing guidelines. The OGC has been striving to develop better standards so new standards must meet higher requirements than past standards. The lack of clarity in the proposed document is not substantially worse than many published standards but ought to be resolved in new standards.

= Further Concerns =

== Technical Concerns ==

* see [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoservices_REST_API_critique#The_Technical_Approach this discussion] for detailed arguments why OGC WCS is superior to the "GeoServices REST API" Part 6. It concludes:
: ''In summary, the ESRI "Geoservice REST API" Imaging part is at a technological level where WCS departed from some 5 years ago. Inconciseness of the specification at large will make it difficult for third parties to come up with interoperable implementations. The components making up the ESRI "Geoservice REST API" provide natural blocks assignable to the matching SWGs. As for Part 6 of the ESRI "Geoservice REST API", if to become a standard it needs to be discussed in the WCS.SWG for harmonization, clarification, and improvement.''

== Methodological Concerns ==

* The Geoservices REST API can not be amended (other than editorial changes in the specification document), because of a requirement for backward compatibility with the ESRI implementation. This has limited improvements in this version of the candidate specification.

= Outcomes =
After delivery of this open letter, there were similar considered concerns raised by some members within the OGC community. As a result, the GeoServices REST API was [http://cameronshorter.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/ogc-heed-community-pressure-regarding.html withdrawn] as a proposed OGC standard. The OGC then initiated an [http://cameronshorter.blogspot.com.au/2013/11/ideas4ogc-phoenix-rising-from.html Ideas4OGC review], to rebaseline OGC priorities and processes in order to address weaknesses that had been identified in OGC processes.

SUBJECT: Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software - Call for Nominations

The Open Source Geospatial Foundation would like to open nominations for the 2024 Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software.

The Sol Katz Award for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) will be given to individuals who have demonstrated leadership in the FOSS4G community. Recipients of the award will have contributed significantly through their activities to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm.

Solomon 'Sol' Katz was an early pioneer of FOSS4G and left behind a large body of work in the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities while at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. This early FOSS4G archive provided both source code and applications freely available to the community. Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much guidance to the geospatial community at large.

Sol unfortunately passed away in 1999 from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, but his legacy lives on in the open source world. Those interested in making a donation to the American Cancer Society, as per Sol's family's request, can do so at https://donate.cancer.org .

Nominations for the Sol Katz Award should be sent to ''solkatzaward at lists dot osgeo dot org'' with a description of the reasons for this nomination (after sending, please wait for the moderator to accept your message). Nominations will be accepted until end-of-day 4th October [https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe Anywhere on Earth]. A recipient will be decided from the nomination list by the OSGeo selection committee.

The winner of the Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software will be announced virtually during the FOSS4G 2024 event in Belém, Brasil. The hope is that the award will both acknowledge the work of community members, and pay tribute to one of its founders, for years to come.

It should be noted that past awardees and selection committee members are not eligible.

== Solomon Stuart Katz aka Sol 1947-1999 ==

=== Background ===

Solomon 'Sol' Katz was born in Sweden (on August 3rd, 1947) and moved to NY at the age of 1. Yiddish was
his first language, but he was amazingly bright, and learned both Hebrew
and English quickly. After high school, he spent three years in the US
Air Force, stationed in Germany, where he picked up yet another language.
Following his brief military career, he decided to go to Brooklyn College
in NY where he got his Bachelors in Geology in 2.5 years. He then married
his wife Hedy in 1969, and went back to Brooklyn College while teaching in
NY Public Schools and got his MA, also in Geology. After several years
working for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in several states, he settled down
in Lakewood, CO and decided to go back to school at the University of Denver in
Computer Science and earned a second masters. At this time, he also had two
children - Shanna and Risa. He was well loved in his office, at his
children's school, and at home. Always full of laughter and good humor,
Sol could easily be recognized by his flamboyant Hawaiian shirts and toucan
or propeller hats. Sadly, after fighting Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma for
almost a decade, Sol died April 23, 1999 in bed.

=== Open Source ===

Sol Katz was an early pioneer of GFOSS and left behind a large body of work in
the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities. In the early 80's,
Sol assisted in the development of a public domain GIS package called [[Open Source GIS History|MOSS]]
(Map Overlay and Statistical System). This software was arguably the first open
source GIS software in the world. Sol would later go on to release and maintain PC MOSS (GitHub archive: https://github.com/OSGeo/MOSS/). He was also one of the first involved in public data translator
utilities. Utilities that he developed for converting DEMs and reading SDTS files
were contributed back to the geospatial community, and are still available today (GitHub archive: https://github.com/jmckenna/sdts2dem). Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much
guidance to the geospatial community at large. Sol Katz's collection of GIS utilities
at the BLM continues to be implemented by many software projects. His legacy still lives on
in the GFOSS world.

Sol's code continues to be implemented in many software drivers, including the updated [https://www2.cs.arizona.edu/projects/topovista/sdts2dem/ sdts2dem] utility. Sol Katz's collection of GIS utilities at the BLM was formerly available at ftp://ftp.blm.gov/pub/gis/ (currently not available on the new [https://www.blm.gov/services/national-operations-center/secure-file-transfer-application BLM transfer system]).

Matrix

2024-07-08T14:26:09Z

Jmckenna: mention lounge

[https://matrix.org Matrix] is an open source project and an open specification for decentralised, real-time communication, similar to [[IRC]] but based on the HTTP protocol (not connection-oriented) and including management of backlog (user state kept on server, like email).

Anyone can install an homeserver to keep their chat state. OSGeo currently host a [[SAC:MatrixSynapse|Matrix homeserver]]. Matrix users are identified by a string in the form '''@<username>:<homeserver>''' so by using the OSGeo homeserver you can have a user identifier like '''@strk:osgeo.org''', which is your [[SAC:LDAP|OSGeo UserID]] preceded by an '''@''' sign and followed by ''':osgeo.org'''.

Matrix allows for bridges to other networks, including [[IRC]] so a Matrix client can effectively also be used as a method to access [[IRC]] channels. Many rooms are bridged already to corresponding [[IRC]] channels (read section below for how to effectively use that bridge).

An [https://matrix.to/#/#osgeo:osgeo.org OSGeo Matrix Space] is available to group OSGeo-related rooms.

= Connecting to the OSGeo Matrix Homeserver =

# Pick a [https://matrix.org/clients/ Matrix client] application (can run in a browser, on a desktop or on ah handheld device)
# When launching the program connect to '''matrix.osgeo.org'''
# When prompted you can use your [[SAC:LDAP|OSGeo username/password]]. Use [https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/search OSGeo User Search] for finding an ID.

''Tip: A general room to join is #lounge:osgeo.org''

= Using Matrix as an IRC client =

As of September 2023 this is not easy anymore. Consult your IRC network staff to ask about how do do this.

= Help =

In case of problem, you may contact [[User:Strk]] (https://matrix.to/#/@strk:osgeo.org).

= Managing Matrix rooms =

== Setting up bridges ==

=== Bridging Matrix rooms with IRC ===

As of October 2023 OSGeo is running an experimental IRC <-> Matrix bridge.
If you want your project's IRC channel to be bridged to your Matrix room please file a ticket on https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo
or come asking in https://matrix.to/#/#sac:osgeo.org

=== Bridging Matrix rooms with Telegram ===

The instructions here: https://t2bot.io/telegram/ show how to bridge a Telegram channel with a Matrix room. This allows people using Matrix clients to join Telegram conversations, and vice-versa. This was tested using the Element matrix client, on the [https://matrix.to/#/#general:osgeo.org #general:osgeo.org] Matrix room and the [https://t.me/OSGeoorg OSGeoorg Telegram group]

== Adding Room Aliases / Additional Addresses ==

If you already have a Matrix room which is not accessible with an :osgeo.org address, you can make it so by adding other 'Addresses' ('Aliases') of the room. For example, the '''#OSGeoUK:matrix.org''' room now also has ''#uk:osgeo.org'' and ''#OSGeoUK:matrix.org'' as additional addresses. To add aliases to the osgeo.org server, you need to be logged in there ( via your osgeo.org account ). Publishing aliases to the osgeo.org matrix room directory requires to have at least "Moderator" status in the room.
