Till is one of the founders of the German language [[FOSSGIS_Konferenzen | FOSSGIS]] conference series and joined his first OSGeo Conference in Minneapolis in 2005 before it was even called FOSS4G. Till also put a lot of effort into building the local and regional community and helped form [[FOSSGIS e.V.]], the legal body of the German language OSGeo Local Chapter which he also co-chaired for some years.

In his main job he is founder and consutant at [http://www.terrestris.de terrestris], an Open Source GIS company focused on web based FOSS4G software development. Till actively works with FOSS4G Software for more than a decade. Also he introduces agile methods into both companies. His second occupation is growing olives for oil (https://www.vanimo.de).

Till was the chair of FOSS4G [http://2016.foss4g.org 2016] in Bonn. For some years, he chaired OSGeo's conference committee. Till is also member of FOSSGIS e.V. and from 2019-2021 he was member of the OSGeo board of directors.

=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 ===
* At least at the letters-of-intent stage there should always be a voting option of "None of the above". Otherwise there's no point in having a vote if there's only one letter, also this allows for the (unlikely) event of all letters being rubbish.
* Bids should be scored based on various pre-defined criterion. Current voting by the committee seems to include a "where I want to go on holiday" component which has no place in a process like this. This is in keeping with the "openness" goal of OSGeo as compared to the current Star Chamber-like voting.
* Further to the above, a list of objective mandatory criterion can be specified as required. I.e. "Venue must be able to host X people", "must be at least Y tracks", "Must be accessible via both local and national public transport", etc.

==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 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.

* Presiding: Till
* Scribing: Till, Codrina
* Attending: Angelos, Astrid, Tom, Mike, Michele, Codrina, Helena, Vicky, Till
* Guests: Steven Feldman (for topic 1), Even Renaud and Howard Butler (for topic 2), a dog

1. proposal to become a Participating Organisation with the
* [https://www.earthobservations.org/pos.php Group on Earth Observation] (Steven Feldman)
* Steven reports on background. About 100 Space Agencies and ministries/governments are members.- Also, GEO has engaged with OSGeo previously, by being a partner to FOSS4G 2019 and giving a keynote.
* question to board: Do we want to become participating organsation of Group on Earth Observation (150 part. org. yet)
* fill in form of 2 pages (Steven will support us here)
* The form will be signed and submitted by Angelos.
* motion 1: Become participating organisation of GEO 9x "+1"

2. other fiscal alternatives (gdal)
* Howard reports on topic https://gist.github.com/hobu/8bdca018fe0ada0660ea3562813e46d5
* maintainer of GDAL took small jobs adding new features to the software and thus GDAL was funded, but it is not a sustainable way to go- difficult to bring in new contributors
* private funding call brought 125k US$, concentrated on bigger organisations, mainly based in US;
* There is no knowledge yet on how donations coming from Europe would be handled.
* OSGeo is not the right organisation for managing the funding because we lack paid personal to handle fiscal issues on behalf of projects
* Looking for alternative organisations to manage the funding / fiscal activity.
* The most likely alternative for getting fiscal services is NumFocuse https://numfocus.org/, but OpenCollective [https://opencollective.com/] is also a possibility.
* Question to the board, if that is okay for OSGeo if GDAL selects another organisation to manage the fiscal activities, GDAL is '''not''' leaving OSGeo (!!)
* the board is open to this kind of support, use this example as draft for other projects later- The board will also discuss in future meetings on how to recognize sponsors that support open source projects through these other organizations/foundation offering fiscal services.

3. Review and approve past minutes
* happened already on Loomio

4. Marketig Committee Astrid Contact board about communication with Partners from MOUs
* Question: Are we aware with the organisations, that we signed a MOU with?
* We could send them updates/news, if such contact is alive
* Helena went through and suggests to update connections
* Helena suggests to re-contact them one-by-one
* Marketing committee reviews all the MOU's, then reports to the board

5. Set up [https://opencollective.com/become-a-host OpenCollective] fiscal host for projects to facilitate donations
* Helena shared email about the topic, GRASS GIS is looking for a fiscal host organisation
* we had this discussion already with Alyssa Wright and decided to have PGRouting as a pilot
* we need the feedback from Daniel Kastl (PGRouting) in order to setup guidelines for other projects

6. Go through the old issues (https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/osgeo/todo/issues/)
* #108 "OSGeo projects on OSGeo website" - keep in track
* The Lexicon Committee could pick this subject up, as it has applied for a Google Season of Docs grant [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Season_Of_Docs_2021]. This grant will allow paying a technical writer to support OSGeo in implementing a cross-projects glossary with geospatial relevant terminology. Part of the working team are also volunteers from OGC and ISO/TC211. The used software is open source https://www.glossarist.org/. Results regarding the grant will be announce mid-April.
* follow up with HOT in the next meetings (TODO Angelos)

7. Vicky reported on video on "opening doors"

* "Idea: Sponsors automatic information gathering (No ticket yet)"
** Vicky explains, that if a soponsor donates, the date of donation is changed, and during 365 days the sponsor's logo is automatically shown on the website. So, that information on the website could be used for contacting the sponsor for sponsorship renewal. As an initial stage Vicky proposes to send a mail to board & treasure with the monthly report of who needs to be remininded for new sponsorship
Vicky to create an action item.
** MOT1: Approve proposals of Vicky
*** motion passed

* CRO meeting with SAC
** We have two problems - not existing or non-updated profiles and not attractive profiles.
** We want to allow HTML blocks in the profiles, changes on the website are needed.
** MOT2: Allow changes needed by CRO on the website
*** motion passed.

* Donations trac issue #2056
** We can have the conversation on the ticket, decide there, and once decided make the ticket "critical"

* Code of Conduct trac issue #2531
** Problem is that we have different version of CoC and that projects do not use our CoC.
** We start with trying to get feedback from our comunity about the current status of the code of conduct

* Call FOSS4G 2020
** There was a discussion in the conference committee whether we sohuld ope n the call for both Europe (which is the turn) and NA. After a long email discussion I opened a vote and the result in CC is 5 +1 for both, EU and NA and 4 +1 for EU only and NA in 2023 The question is, whether we want to discuss this or do we accept the vote from CC.
** MOT3: Accept the vote from CC about FOSS4G call for 2022 and make an open call to EU and NA
*** Motion passed.

* We agreed on having an offboarding meeting and review of the year
