Conference Committee

2019-08-01T17:01:26Z

Pramsey: /* Current Members */

The Conference Committee is the official committee of OSGeo responsible for operating the annual [[FOSS4G]] conferences.

= Noteworthy Documents =

* [[FOSS4G Handbook]] (provides guidance to future FOSS4G and related events, based upon the collective wisdom gained during prior events)
* [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/conference_dev Conference Committee email list]
* [http://www.osgeo.org/conference OSGeo Conference Committee main page] (includes RFP, proposals, and archived files from past conferences)
* Past conference reports are detailed at [[Past FOSS4G Reports]]
* [[Conference website management]]
* [[Motion to form Conference Committee]]
* [[Conference Committee Budget 2017 | Conference Committee Budget 2017 (draft)]]

= Goals =
The conference committee have the responsibility to:
* Run the selection process and voting for the global FOSS4G
* Vote on conference related proposals submitted to the committee
* Retain the [[FOSS4G Handbook | collected wisdom]] for FOSS4G and related events
* Advise the board, Local Organising Committees (LOC), and related events organisors, ideally referencing the [[FOSS4G Handbook]]
* Ensure OSGeo foundation principles are applied to global FOSS4G conferences
* Manage the FOSS4G Travel Grant Programme for FOSS4G and regional events

See also: '''2016 priorities are summarised in [[Conference Committee 2016 Priorities]]'''

=Housekeeping Procedures=
The Conference Committee uses the following procedures to make decisions.

==Decisions==

[[consideration for new selection methods]]

# Anyone may contribute to conference committee discussions. All votes will be noted, but only conference committee member votes count toward decisions.
# Voting will use convention of:
#* +1 : For
#* +0: Mildly for
#* 0: Indifferent
#* -0: Mildly against
#* -1 : Strongly against. This is expected to be accompanied by a reason and alternative proposal.
# Everyday topics will be decided by an open vote of all members in a clearly designated separate mail thread over a minimum of 2 business days with a minimum participation of 3 votes.
# For major decisions, such as conference venue selection, a minimum of one week shall be allocated to try and ensure at least 50% voter participation.
# The committee aims for consensus, and will specifically attempt to address all -1 votes, but will revert to a majority vote where necessary.
# The result will be clearly declared afterwards.
# Secret voting, when required, will use an online voting service or use an email to an independent teller appointed by CC Chair.

==FOSS4G Selection==

# All Letters of Intent and subsequent proposals will be posted to the list for open comment by all.
# The selection of the winning proposal is by secret vote of conference committee members.
# The OSGeo Board will be requested to ratify the conference committee’s recommendation.
# Any committee member who has a potential conflict of interest is expected to withdraw from voting. A member of the committee who is part of a bidding team, intends to become part of the LOC or is employed by a company playing an active part in a bid should exclude themselves from voting in the selection process. In the event of a disagreement regarding a potential conflict of interest the committee chair has the authority to make a decision.

=== Changes in RfP Document for 2021 ===

==FOSS4G Travel Grant Programme==

The FOSS4G TGP was started in 2017 with funding from the OSGeo Board and a crowd funding initiative. The Conference Committee is tasked with managing this grant programme for the Global FOSS4G and for any Regional FOSS4G's that request assistance

* [[FOSS4G Travel Grant Programme 2017 | 2017]]
* [[FOSS4G Travel Grant Programme 2018 | 2018]]

=== Setting up a FOSS4G TGP ===

Some guidance notes are available in the [[FOSS4G Travel Grant Programme Cookbook | FOSS4G Travel Grant Programme Cookbook]]

==Membership==

# To ensure voting control for key decisions remains with experienced people, the committee aims for more than 50% of members to be chairs (or vice chairs) of past FOSS4G global events. The chair of the most recent FOSS4G event will automatically be invited to become a member but still requires a motion and vote.
# The conference committee aims to retain a chair or vice-chair from the 5 most recent global FOSS4G conferences.
# The remaining membership, less than 50% of members, is open, ideally attracting chairs or LOC members from past Global or Regional FOSS4G or related conferences.
# Each year, prior to releasing the Global FOSS4G RfP, the membership list shall be re-visited.
## Existing members shall be asked whether they wish to continue on the committee. If a member doesn't respond, after a number of attempts to contact them, they shall be retired.
## Interested people may be suggested, or request to be voted onto the conference committee.
## If less than 50% of membership would be past global FOSS4G chair/vice chairs, then non global FOSS4G chair/vice chair positions shall be up for re-election.
## Election of conference committee members is by secret vote by the existing conference committee and board members who are not already members of the conference committee. Voters will vote Yes/No/Abstain for each candidate. Voters may select "Yes" for up to the number of positions available.
# Votes will be secret either using an online voting system or by email to a designated teller who is not a voter. The mechanism will be selected by the committee chair.

== Sponsoring ==

The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) has a long tradition of organizing code sprints for developers of Open Source GIS software.
(https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Category:Code_Sprints).

An international community/code sprint for OSGeo will take place May 14-17, 2019.

We expect about 50 developers from all over the world to come from various [https://www.osgeo.org/, OSGeo] projects. Whether desktop application, geospatial library, metadata catalog or web mapping: be sure to find products in the list that you use. The sprint is also an opportunity for your developers to meet with the core developers of the projects, get a deeper insight into the software and participate in the development.

This years' sprint will take place at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities in Minneapolis and will be hosted by [https://research.umn.edu/units/uspatial, U-Spatial] and organized by [https://www.sharedgeo.org/, SharedGeo] and members of the local OSGeo user group (TCMUG).

In addition to the costs of providing the technical infrastructure and space, food and drink for the developers represents the main cost. Morning/afternoon meals and drinks during the day are planned. In addition, we hope to provide several evening meals and social events.

In order to cover these costs we would be overjoyed to accept offers of sponsorship!

What we can offer:
* Your logo on top of the [https://www.osgeo.org/events/OSGeo_Community_Sprint_2019/ community sprint website] as well as on all official documents used during the sprint
* Acknowledgement in all sprint related emails
* Our undying gratitude, which comes in handy when you least expect it (remember that feature you wanted?)

Our sponsorship levels:
* Gold: >= 2500 USD
* Silver: 1500 USD
* Bronze: 750 USD

So...
* get your company talking to the top project developers.
* encourage your GIS developers to take advantage of this opportunity, there is no better opportunity to learn!
* support the software you use - you benefit immediately.

Thank you very much!

We have asked project teams for guidance to help set our code sprint budget:

* please note our [[Code Sprint Guidelines]] ask for event details, budget and fundraising on your part.
* Code sprint funding is setup to help carry funds from one event to the next allowing us to hold more code-sprints with a smaller annual budget.
* Out priority is to share the risk with organizers allowing access to funds early to book facilities as required
* We had requests to fund sprints that were part of larger events, these escaped our 2017 planning but were still funded to the best of our abilities

Conference Committee

2018-12-11T18:44:03Z

Pramsey: /* Current Members */

The Conference Committee is the official committee of OSGeo responsible for operating the annual [[FOSS4G]] conferences.

= Noteworthy Documents =

* [[FOSS4G Handbook]] (provides guidance to future FOSS4G and related events, based upon the collective wisdom gained during prior events)
* [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/conference_dev Conference Committee email list]
* [http://www.osgeo.org/conference OSGeo Conference Committee main page] (includes RFP, proposals, and archived files from past conferences)
* Past conference reports are detailed at [[Past FOSS4G Reports]]
* [[Conference website management]]
* [[Motion to form Conference Committee]]
* [[Conference Committee Budget 2017 | Conference Committee Budget 2017 (draft)]]

= Goals =
The conference committee have the responsibility to:
* Run the selection process and voting for the global FOSS4G
* Vote on conference related proposals submitted to the committee
* Retain the [[FOSS4G Handbook | collected wisdom]] for FOSS4G and related events
* Advise the board, Local Organising Committees (LOC), and related events organisors, ideally referencing the [[FOSS4G Handbook]]
* Ensure OSGeo foundation principles are applied to global FOSS4G conferences
* Manage the FOSS4G Travel Grant Programme for FOSS4G and regional events

See also: '''2016 priorities are summarised in [[Conference Committee 2016 Priorities]]'''

=Housekeeping Procedures=
The Conference Committee uses the following procedures to make decisions.

==Decisions==

# Anyone may contribute to conference committee discussions. All votes will be noted, but only conference committee member votes count toward decisions.
# Voting will use convention of:
#* +1 : For
#* +0: Mildly for
#* 0: Indifferent
#* -0: Mildly against
#* -1 : Strongly against. This is expected to be accompanied by a reason and alternative proposal.
# Everyday topics will be decided by an open vote of all members in a clearly designated separate mail thread over a minimum of 2 business days with a minimum participation of 3 votes.
# For major decisions, such as conference venue selection, a minimum of one week shall be allocated to try and ensure at least 50% voter participation.
# The committee aims for consensus, and will specifically attempt to address all -1 votes, but will revert to a majority vote where necessary.
# The result will be clearly declared afterwards.
# Secret voting, when required, will use an online voting service or use an email to an independent teller appointed by CC Chair.

==FOSS4G Selection==

# All Letters of Intent and subsequent proposals will be posted to the list for open comment by all.
# The selection of the winning proposal is by secret vote of conference committee members.
# The OSGeo Board will be requested to ratify the conference committee’s recommendation.
# Any committee member who has a potential conflict of interest is expected to withdraw from voting. A member of the committee who is part of a bidding team, intends to become part of the LOC or is employed by a company playing an active part in a bid should exclude themselves from voting in the selection process. In the event of a disagreement regarding a potential conflict of interest the committee chair has the authority to make a decision.

==FOSS4G Travel Grant Programme==

The FOSS4G TGP was started in 2017 with funding from the OSGeo Board and a crowd funding initiative. The Conference Committee is tasked with managing this grant programme for the Global FOSS4G and for any Regional FOSS4G's that request assistance

* [[FOSS4G Travel Grant Programme 2017 | 2017]]
* [[FOSS4G Travel Grant Programme 2018 | 2018]]

=== Setting up a FOSS4G TGP ===

Some guidance notes are available in the [[FOSS4G Travel Grant Programme Cookbook | FOSS4G Travel Grant Programme Cookbook]]

==Membership==

# To ensure voting control for key decisions remains with experienced people, the committee aims for more than 50% of members to be chairs (or vice chairs) of past FOSS4G global events. The chair of the most recent FOSS4G event will automatically be invited to become a member but still requires a motion and vote.
# The conference committee aims to retain a chair or vice-chair from the 5 most recent global FOSS4G conferences.
# The remaining membership, less than 50% of members, is open, ideally attracting chairs or LOC members from past Global or Regional FOSS4G or related conferences.
# Each year, prior to releasing the Global FOSS4G RfP, the membership list shall be re-visited.
## Existing members shall be asked whether they wish to continue on the committee. If a member doesn't respond, after a number of attempts to contact them, they shall be retired.
## Interested people may be suggested, or request to be voted onto the conference committee.
## If less than 50% of membership would be past global FOSS4G chair/vice chairs, then non global FOSS4G chair/vice chair positions shall be up for re-election.
## Election of conference committee members is by secret vote by the existing conference committee and board members who are not already members of the conference committee. Voters will vote Yes/No/Abstain for each candidate. Voters may select "Yes" for up to the number of positions available.
# Votes will be secret either using an online voting system or by email to a designated teller who is not a voter. The mechanism will be selected by the committee chair.

OSGeo Community Sprint 2019

2018-11-07T18:11:34Z

Pramsey: /* Participants */

FOSS4G2020 Q&A Halifax

2018-10-09T16:34:15Z

Pramsey:

'''Questions Mark I.:'''

* '''What is the mission of your respective FOSS4G?'''
* '''Answer:'''
In terms of our mission for FOSS4G-HFX 2020, it is essentially “community” or more specifically “the world is one family”; to engage all of the OSGeo family of its local chapters, OSGeo sponsors & partners, service providers, projects, users, developers, students, young professionals, teachers, researchers, decision makers, and bring that world community together in Halifax, and help plant that seed locally in Atlantic Canada, to share the FOSS4G spirit to new potential users, developers, and leaders at the event. We have strategically assembled a local committee with vast OSGeo experience, who have boots-on-the-ground experience at the OSGeo community level, both locally, across North and South America, and internationally. We also hopefully plan on expanding the mission more thoroughly in the full proposal stage.

* '''What is your commitment to inclusivity, diversity, and ensuring that FOSS4G 2020 is as inclusive and as diverse as possible?'''
* '''Answer:'''
In terms of inclusivity, diversity, and ensuring that FOSS4G 2020 is as inclusive and as diverse as possible, the FOSS4G-HFX team realizes the importance of this, and realize that there are many parts of a FOSS4G event that must be inclusive and diverse, right from the chairs of the event, the local team, the selected program and keynotes, even to the choice of venue, its prices, the event’s social program, and the local customs in the city/country. Part of the strength of our local committee team is that several of our team attended your FOSS4G-Dar es Salaam event in person to experience your & Msilikale’s wonderful diverse event, and have travelled to diverse FOSS4G global & regional events all over the world since year 2004. We are working very hard as a team to make sure that all aspects of FOSS4G-HFX 2020 are truly open and welcome to all in the geospatial community. We plan on expanding this for the full proposal stage hopefully as well.

'''Questions Steven F.:'''
* '''your proposed dates are 14-19 September. These dates overlap with the start of the jewish festivals on the evening of the 18th which may prevent some potential delegates from attending. Is there any potential to change?'''
* '''Answer:'''
Thank you for mentioning that Jewish festivals for Rosh Hashana begin on the evening of the 18th. We have a backup date reserved with the Nova Centre venue for 31 August to 5 September, so it is possible to change our dates. When we were looking at possible venues about 6 months ago, our vision was to leverage a mid-September date to additionally allow for university students and pre-university students to be involved, but also because the local weather is best in mid-September (a lot less rain, bringing beautiful fall/autumn colours and sunshine to the Atlantic Canada region). We the FOSS4G-HFX team will continue to analyze our dates closely. For the record, using our initially proposed dates, the 19th (Saturday) would be the community sprint. We will try to be accommodating as possible.

'''Questions Till A.:'''
* '''I would like to stress the point about costs.''' In the call we say "We hope to keep cost per participant under $650 USD for the conference (plus workshops).". As former chair I know about the difficulties FOSS4G teams have finding the right price for the conference. But can you tell something on how you are planning to enable people, who can not afford the conference fee and/or accommodation costs, to attend to your conference?
* '''Answer:'''
We have strategically included an energetic OSGeo member on our FOSS4G-HFX team from Mexico, Vicky Vergara, and during a few of our local committee meetings over the past few months she has reminded us again and again that what may seem to be an acceptable price or plan for one community, is far from affordable in the other parts of the world; if our mission indeed involves getting all of the world family together, leaving out those who cannot afford the event’s expenses fails to meet our team’s goals. At one of our recent local committee meetings we spoke about ideas to encourage this participation, credit here to Jérôme with an idea from the OSGeo Ottawa chapter, as well as an idea from Dmitry from the OpenStreetMap community.

We have also been working as a team to try to get as many accurate known cost estimates as we can, in order to give a better financial picture of our actual budget, so we can experiment with different scenarios to encourage more participation; last week we began working on another quote from a third audio/visual company. As you said, this is not easy. But we can try to be as prepared as possible.

We can also try to go as local committee members to as many FOSS4G global and regional events all around the world, to talk to OSGeo local chapter members from areas of the world that might not be able to afford the event, and listen, and do more listening, and take that information back to the FOSS4G-HFX team for discussion & planning.

We have also begun to engage local potential sponsors, and to compile industry-wide contacts for this. All of this has to be in motion now, as our FOSS4G-HFX team realizes that the possible winner of this bid has only 6 months to prepare before registration would begin for FOSS4G-2020 (ok it is about 7 months, but it is still soon).

We look forward to hopefully explaining our plans more in the final proposal stage. We are committed to do everything we can to make FOSS4G-HFX open to all OSGeo family members, from all over the world. One family.

'''Questions Paul R.:'''
* '''Conference centers are lovely but they usually take it out of your hide one way or another. In your estimates have you already included the costs of in-house AV, or wifi, or catering? Sometimes the rooms are cheap but the other necessities... not so much.'''
* '''Answer:'''

FOSS4G2020 Q&A Niagara

* '''your proposed dates are 14-19 September. These dates overlap with the start of the jewish festivals on the evening of the 18th which may prevent some potential delegates from attending. Is there any potential to change?'''
* '''Answer'''

* '''you say "The Niagara Falls LOC has budgeted a similar registration fee schedule as Boston 2017 and estimates a modest profit” there has been a lot of discussion about making FOSS4G more affordable, do you have any thoughts on this?'''
* '''Answer'''

'''Questions Till A.:'''
* '''I would like to stress the point about costs.''' (In the call we say "We hope to keep cost per participant under $650 USD for the conference (plus workshops).". As former chair I know about the difficulties FOSS4G teams have finding the right price for the conference. But can you tell something on how you are planning to enable people, who can not afford the conference fee and/or accommodation costs, to attend to your conference? Especially the hotel prices starting at 169 CAN$ seem to be quite high?)
* '''Answer'''

* '''More an advice for the possible full proposal:''' An important part of a FOSS4G is the socializing part, it then would be great to read some words about what is planned and possible ;-)

'''Questions Paul R.:'''
* '''The idea of a cross-border conference is really cool in theory, but is hard to imagine in practice... what exactly are you planning WRT siting? All in Canada, all in USA, split days? What would the border folks things about 1000 people crossing over for the day for a conference?'''
* '''Answer'''

FOSS4G2020 Q&A Calgary

2018-10-09T16:29:05Z

'''Questions Mark I.:'''

* '''What is the mission of your respective FOSS4G?'''
* '''Answer:'''

* '''What is your commitment to inclusivity, diversity, and ensuring that FOSS4G 2020 is as inclusive and as diverse as possible?'''
* '''Answer:'''

'''Questions Steven F.:'''

* '''early bird registration will be approximately $650.00 US while regular conference fee would be $800.00 US” there has been a lot of discussion about making FOSS4G more affordable, do you have any thoughts on this?'''
* '''Answer:'''

'''Questions Till A.:'''

But can you tell something on how you are planning to enable people, who can not afford the conference fee and/or accommodation costs, to attend to your conference?'''
* '''Answer:'''

'''Questions Eli A.:'''
* '''It seems that the venue might be charging a fee for wifi, is that fee to the attendees or the LOC when renting the venue? "Wifi and hardwired internet will be available to attendees for a fee." In past years, wifi without a fee has been critically important and the wifi has to be able to handle lots of traffic (major project releases that everyone downloads at once) and not block ports for IRC or other non-http(s) protocols. Can you clarify the wifi?'''
* '''Answer:'''

'''Questions Paul R.:'''
* '''While 1000 is a fair guestimate for potential attendance, it's important to note that in the past that kind of figure requires a good deal of local attendance. Are there major Alberta corporate / government users of open source geospatial who are likely to attend, present, sponsor?'''
* '''Answer:'''

FOSS4G 2017 Code Sprint

2017-05-26T13:00:07Z

Pramsey: /* Registered Attendees */

== Code Sprint ==

Venue: Boston, Massachusetts, United States

This year, once again, we are following the old tradition of hosting a code sprint right after [http://2017.foss4g.org FOSS4G 2017].
The code sprint will be held Saturday August 19th, 2017 at District Hall (http://www.districthallboston.org/).

Participation in the code sprint is free of charge and all folks currently involved or interested in getting involved in OSGeo community projects are welcome.

This is open to all who wish to participate in one or more projects. There’s always plenty to do – it’s not all about programming. Translation, documentation, feedback, discussions, and testing are also very important for projects! Registration with the conference is not a prerequisite for participation in code sprint.

If you plan to attend, please signup in the table below so we have ample time for planning of snacks and drinks!

.

One thing we’d like to ask you: with over 200 participants anticipated, the WLAN capacity will naturally be exhausted at some point. Please be sure to avoid huge on-site downloads of data, as this could impact the work of others. Thank you!

The Codesprint Organizing Team is looking forward to your coming!

'''In summary:'''

===When ===
* Saturday August 19th 9AM - 5PM

=== Where===
* Venue & Accommodation: Boston District Hall. (For more information: http://www.districthallboston.org/) [[http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/42.35229/-71.04528| OpenStreetMap]]

'''Power connector:'''
* Bring [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country your power connector adapter] . See also http://www.power-plugs-sockets.com/

== Registered Attendees ==

The Code Sprint does not cost any money. For us it makes planning easier if we know who is coming. So please leave your Name.

Pramsey: /* Discussion */

Discussion and group review topics for the [[Paris Code Sprint 2016]].

== Discussion ==

* Clustering functions: Aggregate or Window?
** What naming convention
** What to do with the existing aggregate functions
* [http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20178.1423598435@sss.pgh.pa.us Expanded object headers], introduction and testing
** How they work
** Potential advantages, disadvantages
** Discussion on clean implementation possibilities
** Testing and benchmarks, is it worth it?
* Alternate storage formats, beyond GSERIALIZED
** Reasoning
** How to add (version flags?)
** Multiple co-existing formats?
* Breaking raster out as postgis_raster extension
** Implications / difficulties
* GEOS improvements that would help PostGIS
* Using FDW with PostGIS
** Functions pushdown
** Current limitations
* PostgreSQL improvements that would help PostGIS
** Parallel query, review experiments, plan and execute more
** Feed back parallel query results to pgsql-hackers
* [https://github.com/postgis/postgis/pulls Open pull requests from GitHub]
** Merge, modify, or reject
* Tickets with design implications
** https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/2529
** https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/3405
** https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/3246
** https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/3326

== Tasks ==

* Benchmarking of expanded object headers test branch
* Benchmarking of parallel query and parallel aggregate work from pgsql-hackers

* BRIN indexes implementation for PostGIS geometries

== Possible PostGIS function improvement and addition ==

* improvement
** st_pointN -> make a negative input count backward
** st_setPoint -> make a negative input count backward
** st_asText -> optionnal arg to limit digit number
** st_centroid -> work on circular string (simply dump points, then classical centroid)
** st_exteriorRing -> make it work on multipolygon, returns a collection
** st_makeline -> make it work on multipoints
** st_scale -> optionnal argument to define the center of scaling (allows to scale "in place")
** st_split -> allow splitting (multi)line by (multi)point
* slight addition
** st_angle(P1,P2,P3)
** st_MakeRing((multi) linestrings and/or points
** st_DumpLines -> dump everything to line (rings in poly, lines in multilines, etc. )
** st_DumpSegments -> dump segments (in the mathematical sense), that is every consecutive pairs of points in lines
* big addition
** generate grid (regular and hex)
** st_snapToLine -> st_snap = snap vertex to vertex. This one = snap vertex to vertex or edge.
** st_splitLineByPoint(line,point,tolerance) -> using curv absc, the only current way to not be sensible to precision issue (st_split doesnt work)
** st_VariableBuffer(geomM) -> buffer on geometry, the radius is given by M of each vertex, linear transition between. A lots of uses
** St_FindCurve(geom,radius_range,min_number_of_support_points,tolerance) -> in a classical geometry, find the point describing arcs
** St_MakeArc(P1,P2,centre) and St_MakeArc(P1,P2,radius) -> create arcs (_not_ using 3 points on arc!)
** St_OrientedBBox(geom) -> returns the oriented bbox of the geom (returns a geom and an angle)

== Communication ==

* Please join the mailing list: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/tosprint
* IRC chat during the event: #tosprint Server: irc.freenode.net
* Twitter: #TOSprint ( https://twitter.com/search?q=tosprint )

== Costs ==

Participants should plan for the following costs:

* Travel to Paris
* Accommodation for four nights (including breakfast)

All other costs - food, outings and entertainment - should/will be covered by the sponsors

== Hotel and co ==

Center of Paris is indeed quite small, the sprint place quite central, and metro network quite dense. 
So no special need to be that close from the sprint place (anywhere else in Paris could also be fine, with less than 30-45' by tube).

However, nice hotels, quite close to the sprint place:
* http://www.astotel.com/hotel/hotel-le-34b/overview
* http://www.hotel20prieure.com/

A common way to find a discounted room in Paris is to use: booking.com

Paris is also well known to became an AirBNB city. 
Could be so a way to share (big) flat, among some sprinters.

And there's also hostels, for those who want/need to find a cheaper hosting solution.
* http://www.hostelworld.com/Paris

== Sponsors ==

We have three sponsorship levels:

* Gold: >= 2500 €
* Silver: 1500 €
* Bronze: 750 €

We encourage sponsors to support nutriment and entertainment for the
sprinters as they work hard and play hard for four or five productive days.
Contributions will be put towards lunch, snacks, and dinner costs for the
sprinters, and potentially bringing in sprinters who might otherwise be unable
to attend. Any surplus at the end of the event will be turned over to OSGeo or
used for a future code sprint.

Sponsors will receive the following honors:

* Your logo at the top of this page
* Mention in all of our public communication
* Our undying gratitude, which comes in handy when you least expect it (Remember that feature you wanted...)
* And as extra, for Silver and Gold: Kakemono in the event room (if you provide it)

To sponsor, please contact Olivier Courtin (olivier dot courtin at oslandia dot com) directly.

== Communication ==

* Please join the mailing list: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/tosprint
* IRC chat during the event: #tosprint Server: irc.freenode.net
* Twitter: #TOSprint ( https://twitter.com/search?q=tosprint )

== Costs ==

Participants should plan for the following costs:

* Travel to Paris
* Accommodation for four nights (including breakfast)

All other costs - food, outings and entertainment - should/will be covered by the sponsors

== Hotel and co ==

Center of Paris is indeed quite small, the sprint place quite central, and metro network quite dense. 
So no special need to be that close from the sprint place (anywhere else in Paris could also be fine, with less than 30-45' by tube).

However, nice hotels, quite close to the sprint place:
* http://www.astotel.com/hotel/hotel-le-34b/overview
* http://www.hotel20prieure.com/

A common way to find a discounted room in Paris is to use booking.com

Paris is also well known to became an AirBNB city. 
Could be so a way to share (big) flat, among some sprinters.

And there's also hostels, for those who want/need to find a cheaper hosting solution.
* http://www.hostelworld.com/Paris

== Sponsors ==

We have three sponsorship levels:

* Gold: > 2500 €
* Silver: 1500 €
* Bronze: 750 €

We encourage sponsors to support nutriment and entertainment for the
sprinters as they work hard and play hard for four or five productive days.
Contributions will be put towards lunch, snacks, and dinner costs for the
sprinters, and potentially bringing in sprinters who might otherwise be unable
to attend. Any surplus at the end of the event will be turned over to OSGeo or
used for a future code sprint.

Sponsors will receive the following honors:

* Your logo at the top of this page
* Mention in all of our public communication
* Our undying gratitude, which comes in handy when you least expect it (Remember that feature you wanted...)
* And as extra, for Silver and Gold: Kakemono in the event room (if you provide it)

To sponsor, please contact Olivier Courtin (olivier dot courtin at oslandia dot com) directly.

'''Other/in-kind sponsors'''

TBD

== Purpose ==

Bring together project members to make decisions and tackle larger geospatial
problems as in previous years:

* [[Vienna Code Sprint 2014|Vienna]] (2014)
* [[Boston Code Sprint 2013|Boston]] (2013)
* [[IslandWood Code Sprint 2012|Island Wood (Seattle)]] (2012)
* [[Montreal Code Sprint 2011|Montreal]] (2011)
* [[New York Code Sprint 2010|New York City]] (2010)
* [[Toronto Code Sprint 2009|Toronto]] (2009))

While past code sprints have targeted
members of the "C Tribe" (e.g., MapServer, GRASS, GDAL, Proj, PostGIS,
MapGuide, OpenLayers), other open source geospatial tribes are welcome to join the sprint.

The event organizer, Azavea, is also proposing that this be a joint code sprint with the Eclipse Foundation's LocationTech working group. There are several developers
that work on projects associated with both OSGeo and LocationTech, and we believe
it be an opportunity for some healthy exchange and collaboration.

== Venue ==

=== Potential Workspace ===

Azavea's office is in Center City Philadelphia and we can host up to 40 people. However, based on the number of people attending in Vienna, we would like to plan for more. We currently expect to use the following venue:

'''Friends Center''' - http://www.friendscentercorp.org/ - Conference Center operated by the Society of Friends; has wifi, but not enough bandwidth, so would have to push for augmentation. We will occupy the Cherry St Room, which includes some breakout rooms around it. Friends Center is in a central location, close to public transit and has space for 75 - 100 people. It is located at 1501 Cherry Street, Philadelphia, PA 19102.

We may also use Azavea's office and other location for social events.

=== Philadelphia ===

The three potential sites are all walking distance to:
* Reading Terminal Market
* Chinatown
* City Hall
* Franklin Institute
* Old City
* Liberty Bell
* Washington Square
* Rittenhouse Square
* Philadelphia Museum of Art (and other museums listed below

== Dates and Times ==

Dates:
* Welcome event: evening of Mon, Feb 9
* Sprint: Tues, Feb 10 - Fri, Feb 13 (4 days)

== Agenda ==

TBD

== Getting There ==
'''Flights''' - Philadelphia (PHL) is a hub for American/US Air and Southwest and also has a good number of international carriers with regular direct flights, including Air Canada, Air France, Lufthansa, British Air and Qatar Airways. Other regional options include Newark Airport (EWR) which has a rail link to the Newark Airport train station, which is about a 50 min train ride to Philadelphia 30th St Station. Newark airport has a broad range of international flights, including Porter Airlines from Toronto.

'''Rail''' - Philadelphia is about 2hrs from Washington DC and 1hr 15min from New York Penn Station by Amtrak rail.

'''Bus''' - Philadelphia is connected to Washington, Baltimore and New York via the Greyhound, Peter Pan, Mega Bus and Bolt Bus companies.

== Hotel ==

=== Potential Workspace ===

Azavea's office is in Center City Philadelphia and we can host up to 40 people. However, based on the number of people attending in Vienna, we would like to plan for more. We have identified three potential venues:

* Azavea - [http://www.azavea.com/info/directions/philadelphia/ 340 N 12th St, Ste 402, Philadelphia, PA 19107] - good wifi and fiber connections, large meeting room, 5 breakout rooms (equipped with HDTVs, desks, phones, video cams and space for 4-5 people at a time. There are two additional conference rooms for larger groups, with telephones and projectors. The office is in downtown and close to Reading Terminal Market, Convention Center and public transit. Space for 40 people.
* Friends Center - http://www.friendscentercorp.org/ - Quaker meeting house; has wifi, but not enough bandwidth, so would have to push for augmentation, both large rooms and several breakout rooms, central location close to public transit. Space for 150 or more people.
* City COHO - http://citycoho.com/ - Co-working space with meeting center currently under construction. Could be a good fit for the code sprint but won't know until the fall.

FOSS4G Manifesto

2014-03-24T17:02:24Z

Pramsey: /* FOSS4G North America Manifesto */

'''DRAFT'''

''Purpose: To define manifesto for future FOSS4G conferences all over the world''

== FOSS4G conference Manifesto ==

Free and Open Source for Geospatial (FOSS4G) conferences refer to a series of events which provides presentations, workshops, and networking opportunities based around Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial.

FOSS4G includes one annual global event which rotates around the world, as well as a number of regional events which follow similar principles.

=== Use of the name ===

The use of the '''name''' '''"FOSS4G"''' is managed by the '''OSGeo [[Conference Committee]]'''. As a courtesy, events which wish to make use of the "FOSS4G" name should request permission to do so from the conference committee. Permission will be granted if the event being described is predominantly about '''Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial'''.

=== Conference place rotation ===

'''"Global FOSS4G event"''': The FOSS4G conference (sometimes referred as "Global FOSS4G") rotates around the world every year. The [[FOSS4G_Handbook#City_and_Date_Selection|selection process]] has been set and described for future years, as well as the rotation scheme. The selection process is maintained by OSGeo Conference Committee.

'''"Regional FOSS4G events"''': On regional level, several other events are taking place, which are referring to the name "FOSS4G" as well. This happens at the national, language-oriented or regional level. Each regional event is organized on it's own way by the local conference committees.

You can find more detailed information about the conference and its organization in the [[FOSS4G_Handbook#City_and_Date_Selection|FOSS4G Handbook]].

== FOSS4G Europe Manifesto ==

'''FOSS4G Europe''' (started as FOSS4G Central and Eastern Europe) is the regional event. Its scope is to bring the spirit and information flow of the global FOSS4G conference closer to the people living in various edges of Europe. FOSS4G Europe is
* rather small than big,
* rather simple than opulent,
* rather affordable than spendy,
* rather educative than academic,
* rather fun & social than boring.
We are especially welcoming developers of open source software for geoinformatics as well as students. FOSS4G Europe is intended to address also (but not exclusively) Europe specific topics, like INSPIRE, European Union and other topics.

Location and date selection of FOSS4G regional and local events should be coordinated with other FOSS4G events.

See also: [[FOSS4G_Handbook#Regional_and_Local_FOSS4G_selection|FOSS4G Handbook]], join the [http://lists.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/conference-europe the mailing list]

== FOSS4G North America Manifesto ==

'''FOSS4G North America''' is the English language regional event for Canada and the USA (and whoever else wants to come). It provides a "FOSS4G like" annual event for North Americans to attend in those years when FOSS4G international is being held overseas. In years when FOSS4G international is in North America, this event is not held.

FOSS4G North America is
* about half as big as the international conference
* about half as expensive as the international conference
* about half as difficult to put on as the international conference

Previous locations of FOSS4G North America are: Washington DC, Minneapolis.

problems (as done last year at the [[Boston Code Sprint 2013]] and previous
years: [[IslandWood Code Sprint 2012|Island Wood]] (2012),
[[Montreal Code Sprint 2011|Montreal]] (2011),
[[New York Code Sprint 2010|New York City]] (2010), and
[[Toronto Code Sprint 2009|Toronto]] (2009)). This code sprint is targeting
members of the "C Tribe" (e.g., MapServer, QGis, GRASS, GDAL, Proj, PostGIS,
MapGuide, OpenLayers). Other tribes are welcome to join the sprint, of course,
but we hope that "C Tribe" members will give this event special consideration.

== Hotel ==
We've decided not to get a block of rooms because it seems it is pricier than having people pick the hotel they like best. There are over a dozen hotels name-brand and boutique within walking, all rated above three stars. Should you have specific questions, feel free to email us directly: lr at pcorp.us. We’ll help you find the perfect accommodation.

Our recommendation is to book your own room via Hotwire or Priceline.

For Hotwire, any hotel in the Financial District will be within walking distance.
For Price Line, any hotel within a half mile of 1 DEVONSHIRE PL BOSTON MA 02109 will be within walking distance.

== Costs ==
Participants should plan for the following costs:

* Travel to Boston
* Accommodation for three nights
* Breakfast and dinner

== Project Plans ==

If you feel you can do more than just spread word, check out the following list and get going:
* Compare [[FOSS4G 2011|FOSS4G 2011 wiki page]] with this page and help filing the contents.
* Ask on the Mailing List whenever you have doubts or questions.
* Help setting up and reviewing the [http://2012.foss4g.org official web page] contents.
* Contact potential sponsors. This is one of the major source of income for the running of OSGeo.

== On Site Venue Logistics ==

=== Internet Access ===

How do we ensure unrestricted Internet access to foreign sites/projects, that may be potentially block by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Firewall_of_China Great Firewall of China] ?

* To communicate to the presenters, ensure presentations and demos are available offline.
* Test the in-China availability of the service of your choice.
* Get some proxies as back-up. If your business or school has VPN/SSH, it should work.
* Avoid the popular SNS tools if you want to reach the locals.
* Ask community members from Chinese Mainland on the mailing list when you're not sure.

For more info, see [[FOSS4G_2012_Beijing_Internet_Access | FOSS4G 2012 Beijing Internet Access]].

This code sprint is targeting members of the "C Tribe" (eg, MapServer, GRASS, GDAL, Proj, PostGIS, MapGuide, OpenLayers). Other tribes are welcome to join the sprint, of course, but we hope that "C Tribe" members will give this event special consideration.

We have started a [[Boston Sprint 2013 Agenda]] page for preliminary planning of tasks.

== Hotel ==
We've decided not to get a block of rooms because it seems it is pricier than having people pick the hotel they like best. There are over a dozen hotels name-brand and boutique within walking, all rated above three stars. Should you have specific questions, feel free to email us directly: lr at pcorp.us. We’ll help you find the perfect accommodation.

Our recommendation is to book your own room via Hotwire or Priceline.

For Hotwire, any hotel in the Financial District will be within walking distance.
For Price Line, any hotel within a half mile of 1 DEVONSHIRE PL BOSTON MA 02109 will be within walking distance.

== Costs ==
Participants should plan for the following costs:

* Travel to Boston
* Accommodation for three nights
* Breakfast and dinner

== Project Plans ==
* [[Boston Sprint 2013 Agenda]]
* [https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/wiki/Boston-Codesprint-Agenda MapServer sprint plan]

== Communication ==
* Please join the mailing list: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/tosprint
* IRC chat during the event: #tosprint Server: irc.freenode.net

== Participants ==
We are planning for attendance of 20-30. Please add your name and the projects you are hoping to sprint and note the likeliness of your attendance.

Indicate if you have already finalized accommodation and travel arrangements.

== Individual Preparation ==

* Bring your own computer
* Install subversion and the compiler tools, and come with a working development environment if possible

== FAQ ==

* Is the Boston Code Sprint just a coding event?
** Yes, a coding, testing and documentation event. It is a working session for people who are already participants in open source projects.
* Will it be possible to present new projects during this event?
** No, this is not a presentation-oriented event. People will get together in small groups and work on areas of mutual interest within their projects.
* Will there be presentation time to show case innovative uses of technology?
** Yes, Sponsors and sprinters actively working on projects will have their moment of glory

== Extracurricular Activities ==

Here are some events happening around town that could be of interest:

=== Sporting Events ===
* Hockey - Mon Mar 25 Maple Leafs vs. Bruins
* Hockey - Wed Mar 27 Canadiens vs. Bruins
* Hoops - Tue Mar 26 Knicks vs. Celtics

=== Crashing Parties ===
* Mon Mar 25 7-10 PM [http://ignitelocationtechboston1.eventbrite.com/ Ignite LocationTech Boston] (follow link to register)
* [http://www.meetup.com/avidgeo/ AvidGeo] might be having a meetup around that time too.

== Sponsors ==
We have three sponsorship levels:

* Gold: $2000+, Silver: $1500, Bronze: $750

We encourage sponsors ($750+) to support nutriment and entertainment for the sprinters as they work hard and play hard for four productive days. Contributions will go towards space rental, lunch, and libations (in this order).

Sponsors will receive the following honors:

* Your logo or portrait at the top of this page
* 30-min slot to talk about how you are using FOSS GIS
* Get to stare at us during the sprint and voice your in put in person
* Our undying gratitude, which comes in handy when you least expect it. (Remember that feature you wanted...)

To sponsor, please contact Leo Hsu and Regina Obe (lr at pcorp dot us) directly regarding sponsorship and level of sponsorship you'd like to provide

== Purpose ==

Get together project members to make decisions and tackle larger geospatial problems (as done last year at the [[IslandWood Code Sprint 2012]] and previous years: [[Montreal Code Sprint 2011|Montreal]] (2011), [[New York Code Sprint 2010|New York City]] (2010), and [[Toronto Code Sprint 2009|Toronto]] (2009)). This code sprint is targeting members of the "C Tribe" (eg, MapServer, GRASS, GDAL, Proj, PostGIS, MapGuide, OpenLayers). Other tribes are welcome to join the sprint, of course, but we hope that "C Tribe" members will give this event special consideration.

== Budget ==

== Hotel ==
We've decided not to get a block of rooms because it seems it is pricier than having people pick the hotel they like best.

Our recommendation is to book your own room via Hotwire or Priceline.

For Hotwire, any hotel in the Financial District will be within walking distance.

For Price Line, any hotel within ½ mile of 1 DEVONSHIRE PL BOSTON MA 02109 will be within walking distance.

Boston has no major conventions during the Code Sprint.

There are over a dozen hotels name-brand and boutique within a ½ mile, all rated above three stars.

Should you have specific questions, feel free to email us directly: lr at pcorp.us.
We’ll help you find the perfect accommodation.

== Costs ==

Participants should plan for the following costs:

* Travel to Boston, variable depending on where you are.
* Accommodation for four nights, $300 to $600 depending on what room you choose and whether you room share.
* Breakfast, dinner and other snacks.
* The sponsorship moneys will be put towards: morning snacks, lunches, dinner (1), social event (?), and trip subsidies (e.g. travel costs for core developers)

== Communication ==

* Please join the mailing list: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/tosprint

* IRC chat during the event: Channel: #tosprint Server: irc.freenode.net

== Participation ==

We are planning for attendance of 20-40. Please add your name and the projects you are hoping to sprint and note the likeliness of your attendance.

For room if you need a room - put either:
single room - if you want your own
room share - if you'd prefer to share or don't care
local arrangements - put if you already have arrangements planned

OSGeo Advocate

2012-09-04T17:54:12Z

Pramsey: /* Canada */

__FORCETOC__

= Introduction =

OSGeo Advocates are authoritative OSGeo personalities who have volunteered to talk on behalf of the [http://osgeo.org OSGeo foundation]. Advocates should be able to speak well, even better if they are entertaining.

There are hundreds, if not thousands of conferences around the world which have an interest in seeing presentations from authoritative speakers, with deep insights into topics related to Open Source Geospatial Software. Luckily, OSGeo is fortunate to draw extensive membership from around the world, and has access to such authoritative figures within most countries.

= Expenses =
This section on Expenses is currently in Draft, awaiting review.

This OSGeo Advocate list has been designed to help event organisors find local authoritative speakers. Events wishing to import keynote speakers should anticipate covering expenses of these speakers. Note that OSGeo is a volunteer driven organisation without paid positions of authority and OSGeo doesn't budget to cover travel expenses.

When budgeting for keynote speakers expect to cover the following expenses:
* Travel
** could include:
*** airfare
*** food during air travel
*** transit costs to local and host airports
* Accommodation
** standard 3 or 4 star hotel within walking distance of the event
** high speed internet must be provided in the room (and covered by the host event)
** incidental hotel costs are the responsibility of the speaker
* Per diem costs covering food and incidentals
** 3 meals a day must be covered by the event
* Speakers fee, typically $US 1000 per day. (Note that OSGeo volunteer speakers usually have a full time job and will be loosing wages for the duration of the event)

For a rough guide of travel costs refer to the [http://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp US Department of State costs]

Individual speakers may waive any of these costs if attracted to the event for other reasons, and final costs are to be negotiated with the selected speaker.

= Past OSGeo Advocates =
This section lists prior listed Advocates who have not recently updated their profiles.

= Understanding OSGeo roles =

Below is an explanation of roles which Advocates might have been involved in as part of OSGeo:

====[[File:OSGeo_board.png]] [[File:OSGeo_exboard.png]] OSGeo Board Members====
: We only have 9 active OSGeo board members in the world, which have been peer selected based upon their outstanding leadership in the greater OSGeo community.

====[[File:OSGeo_charter.png]] OSGeo Charter Members====
: Charter membership is obtained through a strongly contested selection process. Members tend to be developers and leaders in one or more OSGeo projects, and/or OSGeo business leaders, and have a deep understanding in many of the OSGeo projects and principles of Open Source.

====[[File:OSGeo_chair.png]] [[File:OSGeo_psc.png]] Voted position in an OSGeo community====
: These people hold a position of responsibility within one of the OSGeo sub-communities. This may be a chair of an OSGeo committee or board member of a Regional Chapter, or a member of a project's Project Steering Committee (PSC).

====[[File:OSGeo_coder.png]] [[File:OSGeo_committee.png]] Developers and Committee Members====
: This is where the real work gets done developing and coordinating development of OSGeo Software.

====[[File:OSGeo_user.png]] OSGeo Community Members====
: These people are actively involved in one or more OSGeo communities, acting as practitioners, users, promoters or supporters of OSGeo software. These people tend to have a practical understanding about how OSGeo software works.

====[[File:OSGeo_translate.png]] OSGeo Translators====
: These people have translated documentation for OSGeo-Live, and/or OSGeo projects. They usually have an established understanding of OSGeo topics and can present them in local languages.

= Process for becoming an OSGeo Advocate =

Anyone fitting one of the [[OSGeo_Advocate#Understanding_OSGeo_roles|OSGeo Advocate categories]], may put themselves forward as an OSGeo Advocate. To do so, you will need to:
* Create an OSGeo wiki account, to edit this wiki (See "login" link in top right of this page).
* Create a new wiki page http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:YourOSGeoWikiUserName, and populate as per [[User:Template]], (copy and paste from the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=User:Template&action=edit source] so that you see comments in the template).
* You can then add your profile on [[OSGeo_Advocate#OSGeo_Advocates|this wiki page]], under your Region:Country, names ordered alphabetically by First name, using the following:
{{User:<YourOSGeoWikiUserName>}}

= Annual Refresh of Advocate list =
* The list of OSGeo Advocates will be refreshed annually, after the annual voting of OSGeo Charter Members. This will be achieved by removing lapsed Advocates, then moving all Current Advocates into the Past Advocate section. All Advocates will be invited to update their profile, and move their profile back into the current Advocates section.

= Other Resources =

== Purpose ==

Get together project members to make decisions and tackle larger problems (as done last year at the [[IslandWood Code Sprint 2012]]). This code sprint is targeting members of the "C Tribe" (eg, Mapserver, GRASS, GDAL, Proj, PostGIS, MapGuide, OpenLayers). Other tribes are welcome to join the sprint, of course, but we hope that "C Tribe" members will give this event special consideration.

We have started a [[Boston Sprint 2013 Agenda]] page for preliminary planning of tasks.
