Europe

2024-07-18T16:55:25Z

Jsanz: /* List of initial members */

= Europe =

Welcome to the wiki page of the Europe OSGeo Chapter. 

Note: This is not the first time work has been done to create an OSGeo Europe Chapter. In fact, a legal entity was established in Belgium in 2017 and was closed in 2023. See the [[Europe archive]] for everything related to that. 

== ToDo list ==

* Decide about the legal structure (Initial talks at BOF FOSS4G Tartu 2024)
* Write and publish the Bylaws (Action: retrieve the documents from the previous EU Chapter)
* Create activity calendar
* Set up priorities and goals

== Introduction ==

FOSS4G Europe conferences are becoming more popular every year. Europe faces specific legal challenges, such as the current Cyber Resilience Act, that have an impact on OSGeo projects, contributors and businesses in Europe. European institutions are interested in sponsoring OSGeo Europe, for which they need a legal and representative entity. OSGeo is registered in the USA, and can therefor not always easily support these challenges.

== Why should OSGeo have a European local chapter ==

== Mission and objectives ==

== General Meetings ==

== List of initial members ==

The European OSGeo Chapter has the support of the following people:

== OSGeo website map integration ==

The OSGeo website was designed with a map and color palette (obviously); but the initial OSM integration was so poor it is an open only visible to from the member filter menu and GeoForAll labs.

We assumed that as a geospatial software foundation our community would be able to handle this but no volunteers have stepped forward.

This activity is to source vector tile based map using osgeo software, the associated cartography following our style guide, and integration with our website listings for: members, service providers, local chapters, and geoforall labs.

Budget: We are *still* seeking an OSGeo project to take this on. As we are a geospatial community it should be a great way for an organization to showcase their work and technology: "Cartography PARTY, rendering PROJECT, data (c) Open Street Map ODpl"

Deliverable: vector tile service, cartography in keeping with style guide, wordpress theme integration with system admin committee

== Graphic designer support ==

We have had a number of requests for the website stacking up from the very simple, to the more demanding.

* https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/issues
* [https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/query?status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened&component=SysAdmin%2FWebSite&col=id&col=summary&col=status&col=component&col=type&col=priority&col=milestone&order=type trac.osgeo.org]
* update social media options (need icons for mastodon, x, etc...)
* set up tiles for the public facing committees (presently we have a bullet point list)
* the sponsors page is not laying out very clear between different categories, it appears to be single column now?
* adjust how frequent sponsors images are listed at the bottom of the screen (rather than the proposed removing of bronze sponsors)
* make sponsors more visually separate at the bottom of each page (there was some confusion on about osgeo pages leading to request to remove sponsor logos from these pages)
* make it easier to supply/scale logos (current limitation on exact size and placing on a white background is error prone)
* make it easier to supply screenshots with laptop, webpage, browser frame

Preference would be to contact original graphic designer (from GeoBeyond) if available. Going with an alternate choice will require reviewing the decisions made going into the initial design (while there are presentations and meeting notes such a diversion would increase level of effort).

Budget: $10000: sponsorship activity, highlight sponsors in status updates throughout the year

Deliverable: design guidance and collaboration with sysadmin committee to update wordpress website.

== Collateral ==

Projects did not have access to InDesign and chose a wide range of technologies to produce one page PDFs (InkScape, Scribus, Sketch). While Jody made some effort to make these presentations consistent; variations in fonts, logo position are still present. There is also the good idea to have QA codes available for folks to download the PDF to their phone.

Updated banner designs with space allocated for sponsor logos (to be affixed with magnets or similar). This is an also an opportunity to better show case the branding integration of regional aerial/drone photography.

It would also be great to do up t-shirt designs for the OSGeo projects.

This is a hard topic for our community as volunteers would like to edit the material but do not have easy access to the applications required. The hard truth is that the output is required to be available for use in printshops world wide: InDesign (good), PDF CMYK (okay), SVG CMYK (poor). There may also be a cloud based solution that would work.

Budget: $5000: seek sponsorship and engagement from planned events and local chapters.

Deliverable: Original files, PDF (CMYK) for printing in A4/Letter.

First thing is a regular meeting, the first takes place [http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=10&day=10&year=2007&hour=15&min=0&sec=0&p1=0 Wednesday Oct. 10th at 15:00 UTC] on ([irc://irc.freenode.net/#osgeo #osgeo]). [http://irc.telascience.org/cgi-bin/irc.cgi IRC client]

== Meeting Agenda 2007.10-10 ==
* Rename "Promotion and Visibility" to "Marketing" committee
* Arnulf nominates Jeroen to join VisCom / Marketing Committee
* Update Wiki pages ACTION: Arnulf
* Update portal pages (contact WebCom) ACTION: (add name)
* Update Flyer, new design, hq print outs (input from Jeroen)
* Proposed Service Provider Directory changes ACTION: Arnulf
* Clothing, etc - providing opportunities for people to buy stuff ACTION: Tyler
* Supporting events - for example
** [[Geotunis2007 | OSGeo-fr at GeoTunis]] ACTION: Yves Jacolin
** OSGeo support on 3rd gvSIG conference: ACTION: Jorge Sanz
** FOSS4G 2008: Action: Tyler
* ''Please add''

== Protocol ==
Roll call
* Tyler Mitchell
* Arnulf Christl
* Yves Jacolin

=== Action Items ===
* Arnulf will update Wiki pages.
* ACTION: Tyler to help compile a page for this and discuss with webcom

<pre>
Proposed Service Provider Directory changes ACTION: Arnulf
[17:34:54] <seven> I just need to make Arnulf write up what they discussed at the Board Meeting.
[17:36:04] <seven> The idea is that service providers who want to can get "vetted" by the PSC of the projects that they want to provide services for.
[17:36:17] nhvL is now known as nhv
[17:36:34] <TylerM> So that PSC's can "highlight" individuals/companies as being OSGeo contributors.. right?
[17:36:40] <seven> They should have somebody in the corresponding dev team or have provided translations, or doics or whatever is good for a project.
[17:36:50] <seven> Yes.
[17:36:59] <seven> Its like Karma points
[17:37:02] <TylerM> As a way of helping direct "clients" to people are most involved in OSGeo.
[17:37:14] <seven> Exactly.
[17:37:23] <seven> There is a second way to get Karma
[17:37:34] <seven> by buying oneself into OSGeo as a sponsor.
[17:37:50] <seven> This will be depicted by a clearly distinct symbol
[17:38:12] <seven> so that a service provider can be "blank" (like now all are by default)
[17:38:31] <seven> or have a $$$ Tag (nice golden star...)
[17:38:38] <seven> if they are sponsors
[17:38:52] <TylerM> I'm looking forward to seeing it
[17:38:58] <seven> or they have a golden, blue or grey (depending on the level) wrench
[17:39:13] <seven> if they are core contributers, documenters, translaters, etc.
[17:39:45] <seven> Yes, me too. Again it will probably not happen because Arnulf is a lazy metal dog.
[17:40:14] seven copies the ideas into the meeting minutes...
</pre>

=== Decisions ===
Naming conventions for meeting protocol page names:
"Marketing Meeting yyy.mm.dd"

[2008-10-22 00::02:39] TylerM: ========== Marketing Meeting starting ======
[2008-10-22 00::02:55] tbowden: hi
[2008-10-22 00::02:57] CameronShorter: hi
[2008-10-22 00::02:58] mpg: Hi!
[2008-10-22 00::03:01] wildintellect: hi
[2008-10-22 00::03:02] ajolma: hi
[2008-10-22 00::03:02] TylerM: (or g'day)
[2008-10-22 00::03:29] tbowden: TylerM seems to be practicing for his upcoming trip down under...
[2008-10-22 00::03:38] TylerM: great, thanks for coming, everyone.
[2008-10-22 00::04:39] ¬ª dmnosaka joined the chat room.
[2008-10-22 00::04:49] TylerM: hi dmnosaka - that you daniele?
[2008-10-22 00::05:31] dmnosaka: Hi Tyler, it's me
[2008-10-22 00::05:44] TylerM: Great, thanks for coming!
[2008-10-22 00::05:48] dmnosaka: how are you?
[2008-10-22 00::06:00] TylerM: I'm good, we're just starting the meeting now
[2008-10-22 00::06:12] dmnosaka: great
[2008-10-22 00::06:17] TylerM: ** See: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Marketing_Budget_2009
[2008-10-22 00::06:32] CameronShorter: I think that the best value for money that the Marketing committee can provide is to help locals market locally by giving them an exhibition pack.
[2008-10-22 00::06:34] TylerM: and I mostly copied parts from 2008.
[2008-10-22 00::06:42] tbowden: I'll back CameronShorter on the booth pack
[2008-10-22 00::06:59] TylerM: It sounds good - explain more what you are thinking
[2008-10-22 00::07:05] tbowden: for a local chapter learning the ropes
[2008-10-22 00::07:42] dmnosaka: learning the ropes?
[2008-10-22 00::07:47] tbowden: cloth banner, brochures, dvd's, and whatever
[2008-10-22 00::07:54] CameronShorter: I think we should have a standard pack including things like: Stand, fliers, CDs, etc.
[2008-10-22 00::08:01] TylerM: dmnosaka: that means "learning how to do things for the first time"
[2008-10-22 00::08:10] tbowden: dmnosaka: getting a stand together for the first time: what brochures do we need, what resources etc
[2008-10-22 00::08:20] mpg: "booth in a box"
[2008-10-22 00::08:24] CameronShorter: When someone wants to put on a budget, we should give them or subsidice this pack for them.
[2008-10-22 00::08:25] tbowden: yup
[2008-10-22 00::08:36] wildintellect: makes sense
[2008-10-22 00::08:38] CameronShorter: We should also write a HOWTO wiki
[2008-10-22 00::08:40] dmnosaka: TylerM: Thanks
[2008-10-22 00::08:44] TylerM: just for some background, we're almost there
[2008-10-22 00::08:54] wildintellect: I wouldn't have to keep asking to have a banner shipped out my way every 6 months
[2008-10-22 00::08:54] tbowden: make it as easy as possible for them to get going without hunting for info etc
[2008-10-22 00::08:58] TylerM: we've had some very successful shows done this.
[2008-10-22 00::09:35] tbowden: every chapter that shows signs of putting something on should get a banner shipped asap
[2008-10-22 00::09:35] CameronShorter: Yes, we have some of that material. Some updating is required, but not too much work there.
[2008-10-22 00::09:36] dmnosaka: That is a good idea Tyler... making a how to wiki
[2008-10-22 00::09:38] TylerM: a booth "skirt", banner..
[2008-10-22 00::09:38] ¬ª mmontesinos joined the chat room.
[2008-10-22 00::09:45] mpg: Would the the "box" be physical or virtual? That is, does it provide just PDFs or the actual media?
[2008-10-22 00::09:47] TylerM: but of course we can do more.
[2008-10-22 00::10:17] tbowden: pdf's and maybe a printing allowance, physical cloth banner
[2008-10-22 00::10:27] TylerM: Hi mmontesinos - thannk you for coming. We are just discussing the "exhibition pack" idea from the agenda
[2008-10-22 00::10:28] wildintellect: initially physical except for maybe copies
[2008-10-22 00::10:29] CameronShorter: The pack should be a combination of physical & virtual.
[2008-10-22 00::10:31] mpg: I'm thinking of providing zip file + $ -vs- shipping costs
[2008-10-22 00::10:36] tbowden: replication allowance for dvd's
[2008-10-22 00::10:49] mmontesinos: hi everybody
[2008-10-22 00::10:50] mpg: okay , makes sense
[2008-10-22 00::10:55] CameronShorter: Elements of the pack will be outdated quickly, so they should be virtual.
[2008-10-22 00::11:00] TylerM: Please note, I've found an international network/supplier who can print around the world..
[2008-10-22 00::11:08] tbowden: physical shipping of electronic bits doesn't make much sense to me
[2008-10-22 00::11:10] wildintellect: the one problem for local chapters is knowing where to get some things done
[2008-10-22 00::11:26] mpg: It's things like banners and skirts that are problems, more than "regular" printing
[2008-10-22 00::11:26] wildintellect: I can do copies easy, but pro DVD's no idea where to even start
[2008-10-22 00::11:26] TylerM: We have been ad-hoc so far..
[2008-10-22 00::11:27] mmontesinos: one extra challenge could be L10N
[2008-10-22 00::11:49] TylerM: some chapters just do it all themselves, others need help with files, others need a lot more
[2008-10-22 00::11:49] tbowden: hmm, worldwide printing. Is it economical? I inagine they do the printing at the nearest print outlet to the destination. Might be handy
[2008-10-22 00::11:56] mpg: yes, and DVD burning too
[2008-10-22 00::11:57] TylerM: that's right tbowden
[2008-10-22 00::12:08] CameronShorter: TylerM, your deleivery channel sounds good, if the costs are ok.
[2008-10-22 00::12:09] TylerM: mmontesinos: definitely translation is an issue
[2008-10-22 00::12:27] mmontesinos: local chapters could help
[2008-10-22 00::12:30] wildintellect: so preference on local production if a chapter has a place to do it
[2008-10-22 00::12:38] TylerM: In some cases so far, I've worked with one member on the ground to get things done, then I've paid the bills, etc.
[2008-10-22 00::12:49] tbowden: Pro DVD's is potentially expensive depending on where you go. Maybe there is some scope for shipping if we can get a good enough discount for bulk
[2008-10-22 00::12:51] CameronShorter: We also need to set guidelines to everyone about what OSGeo will and will not sponsor - we don't have budget for everything.
[2008-10-22 00::12:57] tbowden: but working out burn numbers is touch and go
[2008-10-22 00::13:18] mpg: How many CDs to burn? hard call, versions change too often
[2008-10-22 00::13:39] tbowden: ouch!
[2008-10-22 00::13:44] TylerM: at least that is something we can all do with our own PCs, if there is a good batch of pretty blank discs handy.
[2008-10-22 00::13:53] CameronShorter: Local sponsorship will be important. So we should also set guidelines for what is/is not accpetable for sponsor branding of OSGeo material.
[2008-10-22 00::13:54] TylerM: if we want :)
[2008-10-22 00::13:57] tbowden: yes, but that takes massive time
[2008-10-22 00::14:11] mpg: can you label DVDs easily?
[2008-10-22 00::14:12] tbowden: and doesn't look to good when the pro GIS'ers are handing out flash stuff
[2008-10-22 00::14:16] mmontesinos: Cameron -> I agree maybe we could focus on promotion more than sponsorship
[2008-10-22 00::14:20] wildintellect: well so do we create a label people should get printed and stick on
[2008-10-22 00::14:29] mmontesinos: because of lack of funds
[2008-10-22 00::14:34] TylerM: Okay, I think I have a good handle on content for the exihibtion pack.
[2008-10-22 00::15:08] tbowden: I'd like to see chapters get the bulk of their funds from local industry...
[2008-10-22 00::15:22] mpg: thinks about big shipping containers that we can transship around the world to any conference...
[2008-10-22 00::15:32] tbowden: but in some cases they will need a kickstart to get things rolling
[2008-10-22 00::15:52] mpg: We once thought about doing a matching grant program
[2008-10-22 00::15:57] TylerM: I agree that it is ideal to have local sponsors.. and I believe that in several cases there will not be any yet.
[2008-10-22 00::16:01] tbowden: thinks about how much stuff I took to Cape Town and dreads the thought of shipping
[2008-10-22 00::16:07] mmontesinos: local support and sponsorship is essential
[2008-10-22 00::16:15] CameronShorter: I represent local industry in Australia, and I'm getting lots of pressure on me internally to get our logo associated with any dollars we put down toward a conference.
[2008-10-22 00::16:29] wildintellect: what about the issue of some conferences shifting constantly
[2008-10-22 00::16:35] TylerM: let's back up for a second...
[2008-10-22 00::17:10] ¬ª pona left the chat room.
[2008-10-22 00::17:13] mpg: but the event is held in a local locale
[2008-10-22 00::17:15] TylerM: so tying events to a local chapter is not always in our best interests, unless one makes sense.
[2008-10-22 00::17:23] tbowden: I can't see a problem with sponsors getting their logo on the booth etc. In fact, I think it's almost mandatory (says me waiting for TylerM to go on)
[2008-10-22 00::17:29] wildintellect: the one I'm putting together is a good example
[2008-10-22 00::17:45] TylerM: yes wildintellect, that's what I'm thinking of.
[2008-10-22 00::18:01] wildintellect: I think logos of sponsors would be acceptable
[2008-10-22 00::18:03] CameronShorter: Yes, TylerM, but there will be potential sponsors at all conferences, be they local or elsewhere.
[2008-10-22 00::18:16] tbowden: wildintellect:? Is that the geographers one?
[2008-10-22 00::18:24] wildintellect: tbowden, yes
[2008-10-22 00::18:36] TylerM: Sure, just needed to make sure we don't think to small or "local"
[2008-10-22 00::18:53] mpg: well, depends on the conf -- some are decidely regional
[2008-10-22 00::19:07] wildintellect: true and that is a prime local candidate
[2008-10-22 00::19:19] TylerM: Now talking about sponsors...
[2008-10-22 00::19:21] CameronShorter: So I think branding can be tied to sponsors, not neccessarily to a local chapter.
[2008-10-22 00::19:24] wildintellect: but what's the max extent of a "region"
[2008-10-22 00::19:40] ¬ª pona joined the chat room.
[2008-10-22 00::19:47] mpg: wildintellect: depends on the conf -- could be state/province, country, or other
[2008-10-22 00::19:48] TylerM: please note we've done very poorly, historically, with getting our Foundation Sponsors logos into the booth
[2008-10-22 00::19:58] wildintellect: who approaches the sponsor on osgeo behalf?
[2008-10-22 00::20:13] dmnosaka: well branding will affect sponsors
[2008-10-22 00::20:16] tbowden: If a sponsor wants to go bigger than the local chapter, perhaps sponsorship of osgeo is the way to go?
[2008-10-22 00::20:17] TylerM: We are obligated to at least give the http://osgeo.org/sponsors front and centre attention at any booth.
[2008-10-22 00::20:19] mpg: foundation sponsors, not local sponsors?
[2008-10-22 00::20:27] tbowden: yup
[2008-10-22 00::20:46] mmontesinos: mpg -> both
[2008-10-22 00::20:46] TylerM: so how a local/event sponsor would fit in.. i'm not sure
[2008-10-22 00::20:47] CameronShorter: wildintellect, who ever wants to put a booth together needs to find the $$ from somewhere. It is their responsibility.
[2008-10-22 00::21:08] dmnosaka: me too centre of attention +1
[2008-10-22 00::21:19] wildintellect: CameronShorter, do you see the issue if every chapter in North America approaches google
[2008-10-22 00::21:25] tbowden: For Aust-NZ we tried to diffeneciate between osgeo and event sponsors, but I'm not sure we did a good enough job.
[2008-10-22 00::21:38] mpg: I'm not sure Foundation spronsors take precedence over the ones giving the actual $ for the booth
[2008-10-22 00::21:56] tbowden: Can we produce a sponsors flag or something with all the logos
[2008-10-22 00::22:01] TylerM: Also, it is important to remember that our foundation sponsors expect their funding to go toward promotion and marketing (among other things)...
[2008-10-22 00::22:33] mmontesinos: why not?
[2008-10-22 00::22:33] tbowden: It's hard for local chapters to promote osgeo sponsors as they don't have any material for that
[2008-10-22 00::22:39] wildintellect: well so Foundation Sponsor on a flags might work
[2008-10-22 00::22:40] mpg: this sponsor would prefer the (bulk of his) money go to supporting coding
[2008-10-22 00::23:39] mmontesinos: ok
[2008-10-22 00::23:51] tbowden: repeats: if the sponsor operates locally to the event, they would be receptive to approaches anyway.
[2008-10-22 00::23:58] TylerM: sure sure
[2008-10-22 00::24:11] mmontesinos: Tyler -> autodesk is OSGeo sponsor and it also sponsors FOSS4G
[2008-10-22 00::24:11] mpg: printed collateral will likely come from OSGeo HQ and have foundation level sponsors
[2008-10-22 00::24:18] CameronShorter: TylerM, OSGeo is likely to be setting up booths in significantly more events. This costs money, which needs to come from somewhere. Either the big sponsors need to provide more money (because they are reaching more people) or they need to share branding with local sponsors.
[2008-10-22 00::24:22] mpg: (A) printed collateral will likely come from OSGeo HQ and have foundation level sponsors
[2008-10-22 00::25:13] CameronShorter: mpg: yes.
[2008-10-22 00::25:18] wildintellect: we should have a standard, give us what you want to appear at the booth within our normal format
[2008-10-22 00::25:21] seven: wakes up. Sorry! reads back...
[2008-10-22 00::25:26] TylerM: All I mean is that if there is an important event, and we cannot find some special sponsor for it, then we need ot be able to accommodate it.
[2008-10-22 00::25:27] mmontesinos: I agree
[2008-10-22 00::25:43] TylerM: I agree, finding sponsors is not a bad thing..
[2008-10-22 00::25:44] tbowden: on phone for a while. will check back later sorry.
[2008-10-22 00::26:17] wildintellect: a standard procedure would help, and maybe a database that can be searched by region of past sponsors
[2008-10-22 00::26:31] TylerM: but I would certainly prefer that we get foundation sponsors, rather than only event sponsors.
[2008-10-22 00::26:49] mpg: also, should be (in general) a restriction on local groups trying to get $ from organizations that are already foundation-level sponsors -- so as to avoid donor fatigue, annoyance factor, etc
[2008-10-22 00::26:50] wildintellect: do we have a sponsorship solicitation packet?
[2008-10-22 00::26:52] CameronShorter: TylerM, I particially agree with you. The only issue is that important events, as noted by Americans all happen in America. Here in Australia I get little value from that event.
[2008-10-22 00::27:49] TylerM: sorry, i don't follow..
[2008-10-22 00::27:53] CameronShorter: I think that in general, if an event is important, there will likely be a sponsor step forward to make use of the market opportunity.
[2008-10-22 00::28:06] wildintellect: do we consider Autodesk the main co, diff from say autodesk Australia
[2008-10-22 00::28:23] mpg: wildintellect: in general, probably yes
[2008-10-22 00::28:24] TylerM: this is on my mind from a few angles... in particular FOSS4G sponsors..
[2008-10-22 00::28:29] CameronShorter: There will be important events all around the world, and we don't have budget to cover them all.
[2008-10-22 00::28:45] TylerM: I invited several of our foundation sponsors to also sponsor foss4g but they were not all able to commit more funding..
[2008-10-22 00::28:52] wildintellect: so how do we rank them to maximize effect
[2008-10-22 00::29:13] TylerM: at some point there are also FOSS4G sponsors who will sponsor that event, instead of the Foundation directly.
[2008-10-22 00::29:26] mpg: I think FOSS4G != the kinds of confs we're talking here?
[2008-10-22 00::29:38] TylerM: no, but this is why it's on my mind.
[2008-10-22 00::30:24] mpg: I'm inclined to give local teams more latitude than less, until such time as it becomes a problem
[2008-10-22 00::30:30] wildintellect: well so we could focus on getting local sponsors giving funds to osgeo to be distributed for a specifc local conf
[2008-10-22 00::30:50] mpg: again, with guidance about cherry picking from our foundation big $ orgs
[2008-10-22 00::31:02] TylerM: every foundation sponsor should know, their logo will get into our marketing exhibition package.
[2008-10-22 00::31:13] CameronShorter: Sponsors will be looking for cost/delegate targeted. I think that international sponsors will likely be prepared to tie thier sponsorship to the number of handouts printed.
[2008-10-22 00::31:30] TylerM: I trust you on that CameronShorter
[2008-10-22 00::31:31] seven: TylerM: I think it is fine to approach sponsors from different angles. No worry that we look chaotic.
[2008-10-22 00::31:47] mpg: as a (foundation) sponsor, I'm fine with that
[2008-10-22 00::31:48] mmontesinos: but couldnit it avoid this sponsors to also become foundation sponsors?
[2008-10-22 00::31:55] ajolma: TylerM: are there usually written contracts with sponsors?
[2008-10-22 00::32:01] TylerM: ajolma: no
[2008-10-22 00::32:08] mpg: not in my experience
[2008-10-22 00::32:29] TylerM: mmontesinos: you mean having one sponsor for an event, could lead/encourage them to become bigger foundation sponsor?
[2008-10-22 00::32:42] ajolma: maybe there should be something, so that both know what to expect?
[2008-10-22 00::32:43] mmontesinos: yes!
[2008-10-22 00::32:59] CameronShorter: back in 5 mins. Got to walk home from bus stop.
[2008-10-22 00::33:03] mmontesinos: if its scope is quite local
[2008-10-22 00::33:06] TylerM: This is our commitment to sponsors: http://osgeo.org/sponsorship
[2008-10-22 00::33:34] mpg: ajolma: most confs have set rates, like $5000 gets you a big banner, etc -- but often these are very "negotiable", esp. as the date gets cloer
[2008-10-22 00::33:34] TylerM: last half of page is benefits for the various levels.
[2008-10-22 00::33:56] ajolma: :) logo is displayed at OSGeo booth ..
[2008-10-22 00::34:04] TylerM: exactly :)
[2008-10-22 00::34:06] tbowden: is back. Agree with mpg about giving local chapters as much lattitude as they need wrt getting local sponsors
[2008-10-22 00::34:11] wildintellect: the bar for Associate Sponsor is quite low - almost low enough that a booth sponsor may easily be a foundation sponsor
[2008-10-22 00::34:25] TylerM: wildintellect: exactly...
[2008-10-22 00::34:35] wildintellect: and should probably be encouraged as such
[2008-10-22 00::34:35] TylerM: and getting them into our osgeo.org/sponsors page is preferred
[2008-10-22 00::34:57] darkblue_B: notices meeting.. will read later
[2008-10-22 00::35:04] TylerM: So, I think to go this route with event sponsors
[2008-10-22 00::35:22] mpg: TylerM: that is actually a big point with some orgs, for budget planning reasons
[2008-10-22 00::35:25] TylerM: Or do we leave it open with some guidlines.
[2008-10-22 00::35:38] tbowden: sometimes support from a sponsor will be in the form of bodies in the booth which advantages them as well
[2008-10-22 00::35:49] mpg: set up a list, but allow local wiggle room
[2008-10-22 00::36:02] wildintellect: we can tabulate estimates of number of people reached by marketing
[2008-10-22 00::36:23] mpg: tbowden: good point, not al lsponsors are via cash
[2008-10-22 00::36:28] wildintellect: and coding donations
[2008-10-22 00::36:35] tbowden: the more feedback for sponsors the better. Every event should be listed for them, with numbers etc
[2008-10-22 00::37:01] TylerM: Process needs some improving for sure...
[2008-10-22 00::37:58] ¬ª CameronShorter_ joined the chat room.
[2008-10-22 00::38:00] tbowden: so if we can streamline the process we might get more event taction
[2008-10-22 00::38:14] TylerM: I think so
[2008-10-22 00::38:16] mpg: if we tell people we have $ to give they will come
[2008-10-22 00::38:19] wildintellect: I'm thinking template or forms to fill in to make sure we have all the info
[2008-10-22 00::38:23] TylerM: especially if we have a survival kit for them
[2008-10-22 00::38:33] tbowden: wildintellect:+1
[2008-10-22 00::38:33] CameronShorter_: It has helped us in Australia to note that OSGeo in a not-for-profit. We have discovered that we often get free exhibition space. So crying poor helps.
[2008-10-22 00::38:37] ¬ª CameronShorter left the chat room.
[2008-10-22 00::39:00] TylerM: for sure
[2008-10-22 00::39:07] wildintellect: I've always gotten discount but rarely free except for very small events
[2008-10-22 00::39:34] TylerM: note that in some of these events (like the one just mentioned) we got lots of great volunteers
[2008-10-22 00::39:38] wildintellect: is my example I can put forward of trying to gather and document, we can probably make a template from that
[2008-10-22 00::39:38] TylerM: to help run a booth.
[2008-10-22 00::39:38] tbowden: In AU we've had local sponsors pay for booth space (at the reduced community rate) at WALIS
[2008-10-22 00::40:37] ¬ª vheurteaux joined the chat room.
[2008-10-22 00::40:50] TylerM: Anyone want to talk about cash? I feel it's too early to figure out how much an exhibition kit may cost..
[2008-10-22 00::41:11] tbowden: part if the problem imho is we often look very amateurish at booths. If we can up the look and feel with all this we will have done well
[2008-10-22 00::41:34] TylerM: So, last year we focused on the idea of branding and improving a plan around that...
[2008-10-22 00::42:33] seven: CameronShorter_: +1 (asking for free booths, passes, etc.)
[2008-10-22 00::42:35] tbowden: at a minimum we should aim for brochures, sponsor banner, local event sponsor logos (printed locally probably), PC with live dvd running with other vids available
[2008-10-22 00::42:46] TylerM: with a few tweaks to accommodate problems seen at events.
[2008-10-22 00::43:15] wildintellect: I think that's my entire list
[2008-10-22 00::43:25] CameronShorter_: Mark Leslie blogged on what a booth should contain. Linked from http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Marketing_Committee#Tasks
[2008-10-22 00::43:33] seven: Yes, but I think it is not required that we "buy" a big booth .
[2008-10-22 00::43:49] mmontesinos: and what about thinking about reusable elements like roll-up posters for a unique investment (apart from shipments)?
[2008-10-22 00::43:52] tbowden: booth size is not a factor for me
[2008-10-22 00::43:56] seven: Brochures must be of good quality.
[2008-10-22 00::43:58] tbowden: whatever we can get in that department
[2008-10-22 00::44:15] dmnosaka: Well asking for free booths is definatttelly a good idea
[2008-10-22 00::44:15] mmontesinos: we usually use that for low budget events
[2008-10-22 00::44:18] CameronShorter_: I reckon we start with an elementary pack, and then start building on it year after year.
[2008-10-22 00::44:20] tbowden: seven: +1, along with any other take away material such as dvd
[2008-10-22 00::44:33] TylerM: mmontesinos: we do have some pop-up banners, but they are now out of date .. hmm.. and in my Canadian office :)
[2008-10-22 00::44:46] seven: We need pop up banners locally.
[2008-10-22 00::44:55] mmontesinos: the point is to design atemporal banners
[2008-10-22 00::45:05] seven: So that people can show up with them a different events over the year with little or no shipping cost.
[2008-10-22 00::45:09] TylerM: mmontesinos: +1
[2008-10-22 00::45:19] tbowden: cloth banners work well and are cheap. Pop ups where a local sponsor pays is fine, and can still be used when its out of date
[2008-10-22 00::45:28] CameronShorter_: +1
[2008-10-22 00::45:30] wildintellect: so a popup with the general theme, and you could velcro on the sponsor flags...
[2008-10-22 00::45:32] seven: Plus it reduces the coordination effort of getting the stuff to places.
[2008-10-22 00::45:59] tbowden: the less shipping between events we have to do is better
[2008-10-22 00::45:59] TylerM: yes.. we've tested out some of the ideas already this year.. with a few events where we re-used stuff
[2008-10-22 00::46:29] dmnosaka: pop ups are actually dissappearing
[2008-10-22 00::46:31] CameronShorter_: Local sponsor should be able to put their banner up too (if they can get away with it from the conference organisors who have just given not-for-profit stand)
[2008-10-22 00::46:39] dmnosaka: not a good Idea to use them
[2008-10-22 00::47:00] TylerM: dmnosaka: why do you think?
[2008-10-22 00::47:04] tbowden: dmnosaka: not good to spend on them or use them?
[2008-10-22 00::47:19] dmnosaka: not USE at all
[2008-10-22 00::47:21] wildintellect: we need a standard small size for sponsors so that it's clear it isn't their booth
[2008-10-22 00::47:26] TylerM: i know they can tend to block the view in a small area.
[2008-10-22 00::47:37] tbowden: wildintellect: -1
[2008-10-22 00::47:49] mmontesinos: windintellect +1
[2008-10-22 00::47:55] tbowden: I think the bigger the better, so long as the osgeo logo is very big also
[2008-10-22 00::48:10] dmnosaka: banners, if really important and arequirement from the sponsors, but they drive trffic away from Osgeo website
[2008-10-22 00::48:12] tbowden: most booths would cope with that
[2008-10-22 00::48:31] TylerM: we'll have a tough balance between foundation sponsors and event sponsors promotion.. but will be fun to see :)
[2008-10-22 00::48:32] mmontesinos: I remember last FOSS4G where you could get teh ipression it was Autodesk's event
[2008-10-22 00::48:45] wildintellect: I think 1mx.33m would suffice
[2008-10-22 00::48:45] dmnosaka: oh sorry I was thinking of websight banners
[2008-10-22 00::48:45] TylerM: mmontesinos: 2006?
[2008-10-22 00::48:54] tbowden: if the osgeo logo is as big as all others together then no probs i think
[2008-10-22 00::48:56] mmontesinos: 2008
[2008-10-22 00::49:04] dmnosaka: I am definattely for real live banners
[2008-10-22 00::49:32] TylerM: mmontesinos: you mean banners in the event were too large for the higher level foss4g sponsor?
[2008-10-22 00::49:36] ¬ª danielemn joined the chat room.
[2008-10-22 00::50:02] mmontesinos: I mean the general event
[2008-10-22 00::50:25] TylerM: just for the record, Autodesk will be reducing their overall foundation sponsorship over the upcoming couple of years..
[2008-10-22 00::50:31] mmontesinos: there were much more Autodesk promotional stuff than OSGeo's
[2008-10-22 00::50:31] ¬ª dmnosaka left the chat room.
[2008-10-22 00::50:34] CameronShorter_: Generic OSGeo material should have foundation sponsor material on it - and that will be given for free to all events asking for it. Local sponsors can then put thier own banners up as well.
[2008-10-22 00::50:38] TylerM: so they do not look like they are the only ones :)
[2008-10-22 00::50:43] tbowden: wildintellect: Lets show off our sponsors, along side our own identity (osgeo). Lets not undersell the support we get
[2008-10-22 00::50:47] TylerM: and will end up more in line with the other higher ones..
[2008-10-22 00::51:20] wildintellect: tbowden, I more concerned about enough space for multiple sponsors at smaller events
[2008-10-22 00::51:28] TylerM: mmontesinos: this brings up a bigger issue, that has bothered me a bit too... that is OSGeo branding at FOSS4G
[2008-10-22 00::51:34] mpg: +1 CameronShorter_
[2008-10-22 00::51:34] tbowden: CameronShorter_: +1. Maybe all sponsors logos appear at the bottom of the project brochures?
[2008-10-22 00::51:39] danielemn: I'm back
[2008-10-22 00::51:40] TylerM: apart from the booth, this committee didn't have much input
[2008-10-22 00::51:53] tbowden: wildintellect: Always at least 2 often 3 walls to a booth
[2008-10-22 00::52:08] wildintellect: I've done conferences with 0-1 walls
[2008-10-22 00::52:17] mmontesinos: Cameron -> +1
[2008-10-22 00::52:26] tbowden: ouch, not much to pin a banner on there!
[2008-10-22 00::52:30] mpg: yes, booth arrangements can differ wildly depending on the show, the local team ,etc
[2008-10-22 00::52:31] TylerM: So any signs, banners, etc. in the general areas of the event where not thought through from a promotional angle as well as might have been.
[2008-10-22 00::52:40] wildintellect: that's where a pop-up is important
[2008-10-22 00::52:57] mpg: suggests hiring TylerM to walk around the show floor with a big sign
[2008-10-22 00::53:09] mmontesinos: :-)
[2008-10-22 00::53:14] TylerM: and a jar for loose change?
[2008-10-22 00::53:24] tbowden: :-)
[2008-10-22 00::53:53] TylerM: I will need your beard tbowden
[2008-10-22 00::54:20] tbowden: Oh, pity I shaved it off just before FOSS4G! Otherwise I'd gladly give it to you :-)
[2008-10-22 00::54:25] wildintellect: side note, I'm putting instructions together on how to build a magazine rack type thing for all the flyers we have
[2008-10-22 00::54:43] mpg: "build"?
[2008-10-22 00::54:44] seven: Event and booth design / layout will vary greatly depending on the event, type of local chapter, level of support, etc.
[2008-10-22 00::54:46] wildintellect: if someone knows of a good one for purchase I'm all ears
[2008-10-22 00::54:51] tbowden: wildintellect: Most will be too time poor for that methinks
[2008-10-22 00::54:58] TylerM: wildintellect: i've "rented" them at some shows before
[2008-10-22 00::54:59] seven: So we should not try to be too strict about how it should look.
[2008-10-22 00::55:09] TylerM: seven: I agree
[2008-10-22 00::55:15] seven: Personally I did not like the OSGeo booth at FOSS4G too much
[2008-10-22 00::55:19] CameronShorter_: wildintellect, read Mark's blog - he had links to ideas.
[2008-10-22 00::55:21] wildintellect: mpg, remember I'm a grad student and all my cronies are too, so we have time not money
[2008-10-22 00::55:31] TylerM: seven: tell us more
[2008-10-22 00::55:32] seven: but the "open" one inb Victoria with sofas etc. was mcuh better.
[2008-10-22 00::55:37] mpg: ah, okay
[2008-10-22 00::55:47] TylerM: table versus an "area"
[2008-10-22 00::55:49] wildintellect: seven, +1 that booth was cool
[2008-10-22 00::55:53] tbowden: seven: +1 for the lounge, but that's only for our events
[2008-10-22 00::55:53] seven: We have quite a few examples how things can look.
[2008-10-22 00::55:59] TylerM: I tried to get it again, but failed
[2008-10-22 00::56:13] seven: Maybe we can make a compilaiton of the photos so that people can get some ideas and then become creative themselves.
[2008-10-22 00::56:22] mmontesinos: I think that for FOSS4G, we could get advantage with more space at no more cost ;-)
[2008-10-22 00::56:22] TylerM: again, OSGeo was sort of treated like any other exhibitor :(
[2008-10-22 00::56:25] wildintellect: I was thinking of making it easier to play with demo machine, like elevating to standing level
[2008-10-22 00::56:41] tbowden: I think sometimes the POC for a conf has trouble understanding the nature of OSGeo and how it ties in all the different projects
[2008-10-22 00::56:44] seven: TylerM: Yes - and that was not what we wanted to have.
[2008-10-22 00::56:54] CameronShorter_: Photos are a great idea, and we should link to them from our HOWTO page so people can be inspired in how to build a stand.
[2008-10-22 00::57:06] ¬ª rahul_b left the chat room.
[2008-10-22 00::57:11] TylerM: 2007 booth took a lot of coordination with the event planners.. including removing any costs to us directly..
[2008-10-22 00::57:17] CameronShorter_: Photos should also help us sell sponsorship.
[2008-10-22 00::57:17] seven: will start to bring the photos together and link them.
[2008-10-22 00::57:34] wildintellect: make sure that all gets linked to the main www.osgeo.org\
[2008-10-22 00::57:37] mpg: My teddy bear says it's time to go to bed now.
[2008-10-22 00::57:39] TylerM: What others part of the "package" does anyone want to help look at?
[2008-10-22 00::58:05] seven: mpg: Thanx for joining!
[2008-10-22 00::58:17] TylerM: .. to improve http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/brochures/two-side-overview/brochure_fold_2sided_A4.pdf
[2008-10-22 00::58:17] mpg: later, gang
[2008-10-22 00::58:20] TylerM: thx mpg!
[2008-10-22 00::58:26] tbowden: Can we get a "blank" brochure with room for droping in project data?
[2008-10-22 00::58:28] mmontesinos: at Prodevelop we are now designing pop-up banners for some local events, I can provide information
[2008-10-22 00::58:34] wildintellect: TylerM, I've already been tinkering with flyers, live disc etc
[2008-10-22 00::58:35] mpg: (teddy bear waves)
[2008-10-22 00::58:37] tbowden: *template* brochure
[2008-10-22 00::58:41] ¬ª mpg left the chat room.
[2008-10-22 00::58:52] tbowden: waves bye to mpg and wishes him sweet dreams
[2008-10-22 00::58:52] wildintellect: tbowden, +1 a scribus template
[2008-10-22 00::58:55] seven: Maybe a cardboard container with OSGeo logo is cool.
[2008-10-22 00::58:56] tbowden: too late...
[2008-10-22 00::59:02] seven: Then you can add into it whatever you want
[2008-10-22 00::59:25] danielemn: Can I help with the design?
[2008-10-22 00::59:33] seven: danielemn: Definitely yes.
[2008-10-22 00::59:39] TylerM: Sure can.. please :)
[2008-10-22 00::59:47] danielemn: sure
[2008-10-22 00::59:49] wildintellect: text can all be written in OO, and text imported directly to the template
[2008-10-22 00::59:51] tbowden: put your hand up around here and you're it!
[2008-10-22 00::59:52] TylerM: All I've done has been pretty rushed, right before foss4g events :)
[2008-10-22 00::59:58] danielemn: I'll get something up
[2008-10-22 01::00:11] tbowden: TyperM: next foss4g is in two weeks!
[2008-10-22 01::00:16] danielemn: nice, I love doing these things
[2008-10-22 01::00:17] TylerM: I can give you pointers to what to improve or build on
[2008-10-22 01::00:18] seven: Wait a second on Scribus. I had some discussions here on this.
[2008-10-22 01::00:32] TylerM: tbowden: dang it - I'm already behind ! :)
[2008-10-22 01::00:39] seven: We should try to get the content from the Wiki. Only from the Wiki.
[2008-10-22 01::00:50] ¬ª milovanderlinden joined the chat room.
[2008-10-22 01::00:53] danielemn: so in around a week?
[2008-10-22 01::00:57] wildintellect: seven, the text?
[2008-10-22 01::00:59] TylerM: danielemn: sure!
[2008-10-22 01::01:07] seven: Then a small team can grad the stuff and move it into wahtever - for example Scribus
[2008-10-22 01::01:14] wildintellect: agreed
[2008-10-22 01::01:15] seven: and pimp it a bit to make it look better.
[2008-10-22 01::01:40] TylerM: Note, I had to use Scribus for the bookmark project, since I had to specify PDF output resolutions.. which OO seemed not to handle :(
[2008-10-22 01::01:54] seven: This all adds up to keepping several dozens, if not hundreds of flyers up to date.
[2008-10-22 01::01:55] wildintellect: you are correct
[2008-10-22 01::02:01] seven: We cannot do this in thisw committee alone.
[2008-10-22 01::02:02] TylerM: seven: maybe we can have one big wiki page with a section for each project??
[2008-10-22 01::02:09] tbowden: TylerM: Side note: I don't think we ever saw those bookmarks at Cape Town.
[2008-10-22 01::02:09] TylerM: and be done
[2008-10-22 01::02:18] tbowden: have to follow that up to see what happened
[2008-10-22 01::02:18] danielemn: I usually use inkscape
[2008-10-22 01::02:19] TylerM: tbowden: noooooooo
[2008-10-22 01::02:21] wildintellect: there is a reason we made an svn
[2008-10-22 01::02:21] TylerM: covers his ears
[2008-10-22 01::02:40] tbowden: Maybe they can still be recovered for Gavin to use...
[2008-10-22 01::02:42] TylerM: danielemn: that would be fine
[2008-10-22 01::02:42] wildintellect: danielemn, me too but it's not good for a lot of text
[2008-10-22 01::02:45] seven: SVN is good for our templates
[2008-10-22 01::02:58] tbowden: TylerM: sorry, should have spoken up earlier
[2008-10-22 01::02:58] CameronShorter_: I think we need to define the core essential components for the exhibition pack. (Kept simple and achievable).
[2008-10-22 01::03:07] wildintellect: that makes sense, for content
[2008-10-22 01::03:11] danielemn: oh, can we put a search bar in the OsGeo website (sorry about the unrelated topic)
[2008-10-22 01::03:33] wildintellect: we should maintain a list of what page each project wants us to use
[2008-10-22 01::03:35] seven: it is so much easier. If you ever tried to nudge project leads into updating their pagesw two weeks before an event you know what i mean (Tyler, tell himm... :-)
[2008-10-22 01::03:41] danielemn: TylerM: Great, I'll see what I can do
[2008-10-22 01::03:43] TylerM: danielemn: good question for the web committee.. we can discuss tomorrow
[2008-10-22 01::03:56] danielemn: ok
[2008-10-22 01::04:13] seven: is distracted now, will read back later. CU
[2008-10-22 01::04:18] CameronShorter_: 1. Popup Banner. 2. One flier covering all OSGeo projects. 3. LiveDVD. 4. OSGeo shirts (which I think should be business shirts).
[2008-10-22 01::04:35] tbowden: Shirts will depend on the type of conf
[2008-10-22 01::04:46] wildintellect: tableskirt/tablecover?
[2008-10-22 01::05:12] tbowden: and some coders won't be seen dead in a business shirt. We shouldn't hide that.
[2008-10-22 01::05:19] TylerM: Okay, it's time to wrap it up soon...
[2008-10-22 01::05:19] CameronShorter_: wildintellect +1
[2008-10-22 01::05:24] mmontesinos: 4 could be shirts or other things dependeing on the event (cap, pens, blocknotes, ....)
[2008-10-22 01::05:27] tbowden: FrankW won't come if he has to wear a business shirt ;-)
[2008-10-22 01::05:34] TylerM: Please, on the list, critique the overview brochure http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/brochures/two-side-overview/
[2008-10-22 01::05:54] wildintellect: people are welcome to purchase their own swag...
[2008-10-22 01::06:09] CameronShorter_: I don't wear business shirts, unless at conferences, because I want to say "OSGeo is not a bunch of hackers any more. We are serious business people".
[2008-10-22 01::06:23] tbowden: supporter packs was something that got a run at the agm
[2008-10-22 01::06:29] TylerM: CameronShorter_: it's a good idea
[2008-10-22 01::06:38] tbowden: CameronShorter_: That's not true for everyone.
[2008-10-22 01::06:41] CameronShorter_: I'm talking about shirts for presenters.
[2008-10-22 01::07:02] wildintellect: ah we had this issue with my dept at school too
[2008-10-22 01::07:19] tbowden: AGM: support for the idea of supporter packs. T-shirt, cap, other stuff (whatever...) so people could show support and throw a few pennies into the osgeo ring
[2008-10-22 01::07:54] TylerM: gotcha
[2008-10-22 01::08:05] ¬ª HyperJohnGraham left the chat room.
[2008-10-22 01::08:10] tbowden: There is demand for OSGeo shirts
[2008-10-22 01::08:10] TylerM: maybe after these event kits are done
[2008-10-22 01::08:23] wildintellect: and pins
[2008-10-22 01::08:38] tbowden: but with old or new logo?
[2008-10-22 01::08:45] TylerM: mostly new
[2008-10-22 01::08:57] tbowden: who let it change? The new one is nicer, but made lots of stuff redundent
[2008-10-22 01::08:58] TylerM: I see some events don't let you hand out stickers!!
[2008-10-22 01::09:10] tbowden: TylerM: ???
[2008-10-22 01::09:10] TylerM: wildintellect: AAG for example
[2008-10-22 01::09:19] tbowden: wtf not?
[2008-10-22 01::09:20] TylerM: I was curious if some stickers made it to foss4g
[2008-10-22 01::09:41] wildintellect: they have some odd rules, book vendors can't sell on the floor either only take orders
[2008-10-22 01::09:49] tbowden: We used a few stickers at FOSS4G but we could have used several hundred
[2008-10-22 01::10:08] TylerM: and i've learned not to say I'm "shipping magnets" across the border either :P
[2008-10-22 01::10:23] wildintellect: stickers are good for an audience that knows osgeo already
[2008-10-22 01::10:35] seven: Sickers are a must.
[2008-10-22 01::10:39] TylerM: I'd really like an "OSGeo Inside".. playing on the Intel Inside concept :)
[2008-10-22 01::10:40] tbowden: bloody hairbrained restrictions we have to live with nowadays
[2008-10-22 01::10:41] seven: Stickers
[2008-10-22 01::10:49] TylerM: +1 - I'm a sicker
[2008-10-22 01::11:11] seven: grumbles
[2008-10-22 01::11:11] danielemn: People... I've got to go, got the train to catch
[2008-10-22 01::11:14] TylerM: Guys, I know we didn't get through the whole agenda
[2008-10-22 01::11:15] tbowden: Yes, so you said a while back. How is your chest infection going?
[2008-10-22 01::11:24] TylerM: danielemn: thank you so much for stopping in
[2008-10-22 01::11:27] CameronShorter_: wildintellect - right. I've found that it is important for people to see "OPEN SOURCE" rather than OSGeo. "Open Source" is what people know, and draws people in.
[2008-10-22 01::11:32] tbowden: waves at danielemn
[2008-10-22 01::11:36] seven: danielemn: Thanx for coming.
[2008-10-22 01::11:40] TylerM: ohyo gozaimus
[2008-10-22 01::11:40] wildintellect: Free is a big one
[2008-10-22 01::11:56] TylerM: tbowden: I'm almost recovered except for hacking away in the wee hours
[2008-10-22 01::11:58] wildintellect: and our local lug has "Support Organic Software" great for an ag town
[2008-10-22 01::11:59] tbowden: assumes TylerM is making sense
[2008-10-22 01::12:30] TylerM: lol
[2008-10-22 01::12:30] tbowden: love it
[2008-10-22 01::12:44] CameronShorter_: I'm going to need to leave soon.
[2008-10-22 01::12:58] TylerM: mmontesinos - we didn't get to your point, is that okay?
[2008-10-22 01::13:25] seven: suggests to meet bi-weekly and regularly again, there seems to be a good new energy here!
[2008-10-22 01::13:30] TylerM: tbowden: I'd also really like to know where the bookmarks landed :(
[2008-10-22 01::13:33] mmontesinos: okay for leaving to another meeting?
[2008-10-22 01::13:42] TylerM: yes, please, if you don't mind.
[2008-10-22 01::13:48] mmontesinos: of course
[2008-10-22 01::13:51] CameronShorter_: This timeslot works for me.
[2008-10-22 01::13:59] seven: mmontesinos: Just push it up on the agenda.
[2008-10-22 01::14:00] mmontesinos: seven +1
[2008-10-22 01::14:03] TylerM: thanks for the input guys.. I can handle this time regularly, no problem.
[2008-10-22 01::14:18] seven: Cool, thanks all.
[2008-10-22 01::14:20] tbowden: must ask FrankW about that. We talked about it, but mustn't have hit him when he got back to his room or else he'd have brought them the next morning
[2008-10-22 01::14:22] TylerM: but think it is a good habit to change it around in case certain people can't make it.
[2008-10-22 01::14:38] seven: TylerM: What time is it at your place?
[2008-10-22 01::14:39] CameronShorter_: Can we please link all wikis, developments that we produce from: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Marketing_Committee
[2008-10-22 01::14:49] TylerM: seven: started at midnight
[2008-10-22 01::14:54] seven: Ouch.
[2008-10-22 01::15:02] TylerM: CameronShorter_: yes sure
[2008-10-22 01::15:02] tbowden: Night is but young then...
[2008-10-22 01::15:12] TylerM: seven: it's not too bad every two weeks :)
[2008-10-22 01::15:38] CameronShorter_: So, it seems that we have agreement that we will create an Exhibition Pack.
[2008-10-22 01::15:45] TylerM: yup +1
[2008-10-22 01::15:53] mmontesinos: +1 for every 2 weeks
[2008-10-22 01::15:59] wildintellect: +1, +1
[2008-10-22 01::16:10] tbowden: +1
[2008-10-22 01::16:12] seven: +1, +1
[2008-10-22 01::16:28] CameronShorter_: I'll volunteer to write down what I think the first exhibition pack should contain - in a wiki.
[2008-10-22 01::16:30] TylerM: unless we get more interested marketing people from eastern north/south america.. this time will probably be okay for most.
[2008-10-22 01::17:08] danielemn: thanks
[2008-10-22 01::17:11] ¬ª danielemn left the chat room.
[2008-10-22 01::17:45] CameronShorter_: Tyler, are you going to write up a summary of the decisions made in this meeting?
[2008-10-22 01::18:09] TylerM: next meeting: http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=11&day=5&year=2008&hour=7&min=0&sec=0&p1=0

[2008-10-22 01::18:46] ¬ª mmontesinos left the chat room.
[2008-10-22 01::19:13] TylerM: wildintellect: were you going to write up some ideas for the event proposal template concept?
[2008-10-22 01::19:23] CameronShorter_: Also that Foundation sponsors get to put their logo on material. Local sponsors get to put banners or material in the booth too.
[2008-10-22 01::20:25] TylerM: Okay - I'm out of here now ... thanks again all
[2008-10-22 01::20:25] wildintellect: TylerM, I can try, most of what I've got is a list of info you need before you ask people for things, and what to report after and event
[2008-10-22 01::20:27] CameronShorter_: ok, thanks all, I'm getting called to dinner.

Marketing Meeting 2009.01.15

2024-04-26T16:02:03Z

Jsanz:

* Meeting held [http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?%20month=01&day=15&year=2009&hour=7&min=0&sec=0&p1=0 7:00 UTC on January 15th 2009]
* For detailed discussion/minutes please see the [http://logs.qgis.org/osgeo/%23osgeo.2009-01-14.log IRC Logs] (2009-01-14 starting at server time 22h00).
* A '''reader-friendly''' summary of some of the discussion, and more background, is posted in Tyler's blog: http://www.osgeo.org/tyler/marketing_jan09

Summary of key decisions is below.

== Minutes ==
* Attending: Tyler, Cameron, Daniele, Alex, Jeroen
* Approved minutes from [[Marketing Meeting 2008.12.11 | December meeting]]
* Decide guidelines for '''OSGeo logo usage''' by local chapters.
** Discussion had started on the mailing list [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/marketing/2009-January/002104.html here] - please follow the thread [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/marketing/2009-January/002129.html here as well]
** Generally agreed that local chapters can create their own logo or modify the main OSGeo logo to better reflect their local group.
** Main logo to be used when talking about the foundation officially. In any formal context (e.g. documents, press, etc.) local and main logos should be used together.
** Need some guidelines for bottom of [[Local Chapter Guidelines]] page.
** Take discussion back to mailing list for further consensus.
* Review [[Marketing Budget 2009]] and consider '''identifying workgroup leaders''' to head up specific parts. Leaders would be responsible for helping to develop a work plan and be empowered to help guide the work. Other volunteers or committee members will still help. Current volunteer leaders listed here:
** 1 - '''Communication and Branding''' - next stage of branding development and design. '''Tyler or other who is interested'''
** 2 - '''[[Web_site_design|Website Redesign]]''' - co-ordinating with webcom, overseeing project with designers. '''Daniele''' with support from Cameron, Wolf, Jeroen.
** 3 - '''Material Production''' - overseeing production based on above branding development. '''Jeroen'''
** 4 - '''[[Exhibition Pack]] Prototype''' - following status of very parts of planning, development and production. '''Alex''' also coordinating with Tyler re #1 and #3 above.
** '''Event Support''' - reaching out to identify or find upcoming event opportunities. '''Cameron'''
* '''Exhibition Pack Update''' - Alex gave report on some pricing for parts of the [[Exhibition Pack]]
** the figures are included on that page. Some price ranges represent different quality of materials. Coordinating with Tyler re: artwork, etc.
* '''Local Chapter/Event Sponsorship'''
** Alex had particular questions, that came up when considering how to market their California local chapter. Here they want to collect sponsorships, or at least get sponsors to help shares costs for events.
** Questions about money handling, rules about soliciting (when to make it all about the local vs. whole), [[Media:Draft_Sponsorhsip_Letter_Jan09.pdf]] example letter they were working on.
** Solutions range from having some sponsors use the OSGeo sponsorship programme to setting up an event or local chapter sponsorship programme.
** Discuss options of setting up an MOU for detailing possibilities.
** For event sponsors, Marketing committee could help handle the funds where it is a "supported" event by Marketing in particular.
** Further brainstorming to move to the mailing list.
* Meeting closed at 08h14 UTC (23h14 IRC log server time)
* '''Next meeting date - February 5th''' (4th for some) at 7h00 UTC. This is the first Thursday (Wednesday for some) of the month.

* Reviewed previous minutes
** I'll note that the logo usage policy discussion didn't carry on very far in the mailing list
* Tyler moved to adopt these minutes as official for the committee, all were in favour

=== Update on main projects: ===
* Tyler gave recap of how/why project leads were chosen for each project
* '''Events'''
** We don't have a leader for this project in general - Cameron had to step down for the time being but we do have at least two people who can give reports on a particular event.
** Alex gave update on the '''AAG event'''. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/AAG_2009
*** the booth fee doesn't include power or tables - that's gonna cost $150
*** It does include 2 entrance fees to the conference, but not presenters which all of our volunteers are so we have 2 tickets if anyone wants to volunteer for the booth
*** Some union rule about only fulltime employess being allowed to do table setup
*** We need the full list of booth volunteers before march so we can get their badges setup
** Cameron wasn't able to attend. Report on '''FOSS4G''' skipped.
*** '''Looking for anyone to volunteer to help manage OSGeo's booth at FOSS4G'''
** Brian mentioned the [[Toronto Code Sprint]] that many will attend next month (March 7-10)
** Miguel talked about the Girona, Spain event 3rd meeting of Open Source Days, first week of March.
*** Stallman will be speaking this year, OSGeo-es group will be helping/involved too, could use promotional material to hand out
** Wolf mentioned that there is a Finnish event April 21st that he and Ari will be at. Ari is helping organise it.
* Tyler explained current progress of '''[[Marketing Material Development]]'''.
** Jeroen and Tyler getting quotes for contract work to develop layout, design for various types of material
** Alex described current state of '''[[Exhibition Pack]]''' project
*** Much is waiting on the Material Development
*** He has been looking at more quotes on the banner and table throw
*** Will pull together the specs and options and will mail out to see if other people have sources
** Daniele introduced current state of '''[[Web site design]]''' project and general discussion continued...
*** Yhis feeds into or out of the Material development side of things in a way too..since we'll have templates etc for digital documents which could be used for web site too.
*** We are currently at the begining of the website design review. Daniele would like if possible some more thoughts from all about What can be improved.
*** The next task is to make an "Inventory of OSGeo Website Assets", this means to list the content of the website that is valuable and should be a) More accessable to users; b) In no circumstances be lost or deleted; c) that drive people to OSGeo's website, etc.
*** '''For the webcom and marketingcom, please share ideas''' on the wiki: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Web_site_design
*** Having a dump of our current site map would help show what we have already for content
*** General agreement that almost all content on current is worth keeping, though maybe just not in same location or on same site
*** But instead taking a subset of that content, promoting it to a higher level, and moving other things to somewhere that isn't the 'home'
*** Chris: three pieces of core information: * What is OSGeo, * What are the OSGeo Projects, * How is using an OSGeo project giong to help me
*** Tyler: I think all the use cases / targets have been identified - at least initially.. across several threads and wiki pages. Summarised [http://wiki.osgeo.org/images/5/50/Marketing_and_webcom_targets.png here] and another really simple rough rough rough diagram of how the three categories of visitor could be addressed [http://wiki.osgeo.org/images/0/07/OSGeo_Site_mockup_sml.jpg here] - thought process background is [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/WebCom_OSGeo_Site_Focus#Developing_a_Portal here]
* Wolf described approach for '''2009 Google Summer of Code'''
** Google has announced SoC 2009 will run, but at a reduced scale. That means we need to impress Google even more to be accepted as a mentor, but our trackrecord is quite good.
** Last year: We had 20 students, and 15 completed, some are still around as developers on OSGeo projects
** One of the goals of SoC is to bring in new developers, so we need to target some Geoinformatics students, also we need to think of a way to attract students. A poster in universities should be good, can be distributed at AAG event. Also could contact educators on our edu list.
** OSGeo earned $10,000 from it last year as the mentoring org.
** If you want to be involved, sign up to the [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/soc SoC list] and say hi
** '''Volunteer to make a poster?''' The info is in the Wiki: here is the starting page (I'll redirect it to the 2009 page once it's done) [[Google Summer of Code]]. The flyer for 2008: http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/flyer/

** '''Next agenda: marketing expectations from projects'''. We had a break out group at the code sprint in sydney to discuss some of this. e.g. so marketing doesn't have to do all the work in areas when the projects could lend a hand like updating their page on the main site, or updating brochures, providing content for live dvd, etc.
** Great turn up for contributors to LiveDVD

* In attendance: Tyler, Alex, Cameron, Jody
* Review previous minutes: http://logs.qgis.org/osgeo/%23osgeo.2010-01-13.log
* Briefly discussed finding new committee members - more folks need to be welcomed :)
* Add other items to agenda - open for discussion
# FOSS4G Marketing ideas
## Review FOSS4G logo/advert on project and chapter website pages. They are producing lots of flowthrough to the FOSS4G site.
## '''TODO: Tyler to check library apps project sites and see if we can give them a FOSS4G banner ad to put up'''
### Alex, Tyler reviewed all project sites. Tyler sent note to PSCs pointing out value of adding a link.
## Link to logo from here: http://2010.foss4g.org/identity.php - preferably http://2010.foss4g.org/img/logocuadrado2.png with date of event
# LiveDVD project
## Propose Sponsor endorsement guidelines for DVD print runs. See topic on mailing list. ( Cameron )
### Discussed putting guidelines in place for marketing on the live dvd including guidelines for re-use. Co-branding is the challenge. If used verbatim, then keeping OSGeo branding in place is fine.
### Lots of discussion about how to handle co-branding. Clarified our position. If you're going to print the OSGeo flavor with our name and no modifications then you get a printed byline "Printing sponsored by...." and their logo.
### Keeping OSGeo foundation sponsors up front and clear on the disk is also important. Any other type of sponsorship goes on the digital sponors page on the disk, but not on front. In short, focus any co-branding only for companies that pay for printing of the disks.
## '''TODO: Tyler upload his printable sponsorship page for booths'''
### "When printing the OSGeo Live DVD, it is appropriate for the sponsor funding the printing to add "printed by XXX" with no other modifications to the materials" "If said sponsor wishes to modify the disc and branding they must remove all Trademarks of OSGeo".

## Marketing Pipeline (Cameron)
### Discussing the different types of marketing sources and material that we would want from projects.
Defining our list of deliverables we expect from each project, to be added to graduation checklist.
### '''TODO: Cameron listing marketing requirements/opportunnities for projects'''
### Some question about our committee's ability to use/implement material supplied by projects in a timely manner.
## '''TODO: finish gneeral OSGeo branding of livedvd v3, price a print run for 200-300-disk'''
### Tyler wants a small run for his own reference. OSCON, CUGOS meetings, etc might use some. Potentially making a fancy cool version would make a neat door prize.
# OSGeo Labs
## Ideas for brand utilization Talk:OSGeo Labs http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Talk:OSGeo_Labs
## Questions: We aren't actively inviting/recruiting projects, and OSGeo labs has no specific mandate. By making it a more formal opportunity... are we just going to frustrate people by not having enough systems support??
## Code hosting etc is specifically on an availability basis not guaranteed, aiming to make a nice landing page for these friendly projects. Keeping promises low but encouraging driving marketing and networking back to OSGeo.
## '''TODO: setup labs subdomain, create landing page, prepare form for info about projects'''
## '''TODO: Bring labs topic to board next month'''

## Mockup has had positive reaction. Mindmap of content/layout was open for lots of comments over many months, seems static now.

Discussion: [http://irclogs.geoapt.com/osgeo/%23osgeo.2012-06-04.log IRC logs]

Summary:
* General agreement around the concept, and management, and that the Marketing Committee would be responsible for updating the list every year.
* Concern was raised around using the term "Ambassador" as the term implies someone who is a selected representative, rather than a self appointed volunteer.
* Debated terms:
** "OSGeo Ambassador" - Implies someone who is a selected by the board, rather the reality of a self appointed volunteer; concern this might have legal ramifications for OSGeo.
** "OSGeo Speakers Bureau" - limiting the role to speaking and not very prestigious
** "Authoritative OSGeo Personalities" - a bit long and informal
** "OSGeo Advocate" - this was the final term decided upon

== Agenda ==

# Marketing Budget Draft / Discussion
# Website timeline / fund raising
# Q&A on website reboot

== Marketing Budget Draft / Discussion ==

General approach for board budget was to pull back from everything to focus on this project. Several requests to break this into phases and/or increase clarity on what the project was (hence this meeting request). Note the [[OSGeo_Budget_2017#Draft_2017_Budget|Draft_2017_Budget]] only lists the sum of 50k.

Still the board has not signed off on the requested amount and would like to do fund raising to make up the difference.

==== Q: Has SAC considered any infrastructure setup/migration required for this undertaking as part of their 15k budget request? ====

Unsure:

* Action: (done) Jeff to reach out to SAC to clarify.

==== Q: Who does 20,000k fundraising? Marketing committee / or Board as part of OSGeo sponsorship call out? ====

* (done) Jody to send email to clarify board-priv to clarify about fundraising
* Jeff has reached out to some sponsors (and does not mind reaching out to more, organize via email).
* (done) Jody does not mind highlighting this as a focus as part of general OSGeo sponsorship call out.

== timeline / fund raising ==

Timeline:

* Jan 5th - board meeting (final 2017 budget)
* Jan 9th - send out EOI
* Jan 20th - close the EOI
* Jan 23-27 - evaluate EOI and ask short list for proposal
* Feb 10th - close proposal
* Feb 13th - evaluate and interview
* Feb 24th - close contract
* March Kickoff

Fundraising:

* Jan 1st - kick off osgeo sponsorship/fundraising
* Jan 27th evaluate fundraising result for go/no-go decision

Idea is to have a go/no-go decision with both fund raising results and EOI list in hand.

== Q&A ==

==== Q: Is "website reboot a good name" ====

... or can we need a better name that covers how extensive this branding exercise is?

New name: “digital assets rebranding and website reboot"

==== Q: Can we start RFQ and fundraising concurrently? ====

Yes, EOI and fundraising will start in January, provided that the board signs off on the 30k as listed in the current budget draft.

==== Q: What will be the outcome of the project and how do we plan to use it in the future? ====

Deliverables are subject to contract, we are going in with the following expectations:

* Deliverable 1: Branding Book (covering core OSGeo brand, sub brands, cook book for projects that are interested)
* Deliverable 2: Website Template, Themes, Printing Assets etc...
* Deliverable 3: Content Migration

Volunteers:

* Determine/Contact stakeholders
* Interaction with GeoForAll, OSGeo Live, Service Providers, Local Chapters
* Ongoing website content maintence

Actions:

* Action: Jeff and Marc have volunteered to reach out to stakeholders
* Action: Jeff to contact Alex Mandel on SAC to confirm we are on the same page. No response Jody emailed SAC with results of budget discussion and invitation to take part.

==== Q: What items go beyond redesigning the website? ====

Brand guide book
* Start with Nicolas branding guide (http://cartogenic.com/OSGeo-brand/guide/)
* Ask RFQ to either unify existing branding; or propose a replacement
** Example: https://www.sandiego.gov/sites/default/files/visual-style-guide.pdf
** Example: http://gfdrr.github.io/innovation-lab-brand-guidelines/
** Example: http://patternlibrary.sandiego.gov/

==== Q: Does this include strategy guide? ====

This will be concurrent in January (needed so we can evaluate RFQ properly):
* Action: Marc will set up a meeting after a bit of prep

* note - the wiki page is a bit out of date, with many links reflecting historical content from 2013
* Jody learned a trick to handle archived content, so we can keep historical notes from 2013 without them getting in the way of 2020. See example: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Archived
* We should write down how our email motions work, see https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Incubation_Committee example
