|Info=Scott is a newcomer to OSGeo, getting his first taste at FOSS4G Portland (2014). He was educated in Remote Sensing and Physical Geography, with some experience in GIS analysis. Having spent three years complaining about proprietary RS software, he was introduced to the plethora of OSS options out there. Amazed, he attended FOSS4G 2014 to learn more. Now he's keen to learn how he can help.

**'''Big Geo Data Lab''' - Spatio-temporal sensor, image, simulation, and statistics data of unlimited size are served rapidly by rasdaman ("raster data manager"). As a multiparallel, distributed analytics engine, rasdaman achieves unparalleled service flexibility, scalability, and performance. Being OGC [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Coverage_Processing_Service WCPS] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Coverage_Service WCS] Core Reference Implementation, rasdaman enables access, subsetting, and processing on the fly using open standards interfaces. The WCS suite is a central cornerstone for SDIs: a large, growing number of open-source and proprietary tools supports it (MapServer, GeoServer, OpenLayers, QGIS, ESRI ArcGIS, ...) and the OGC standards are under adoption by ISO (as forthcoming 19123-2) and INSPIRE ("Coverage Download Service"). Significant training material is available already, and is being augmented continuously:

*'''OSGeo-Live'''

OSGeo-Live contains 50 of the best geospatial applications, pre-installed with datasets, along with project overviews and 10 to 15 minute quickstarts for each application. The documentation provides an excellent high level overview of the breadth of geospatial open source applications. It is also used as a plaform for many open source geospatial workshops.

*'''Bringing GEOSS services into practice'''
The "Bringing GEOSS services into practice" workshop aims at teaching how to configure, use and deploy a set of open source software (PostGIS, GeoServer, GeoNetwork, PyWPS, QGIS) to set up a spatial data infrastructure (SDI). Trainees will learn how to publish and share data and metadata using OGC and ISO standards and how to register services into the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS).

UnitedNations Committee

2015-11-01T06:22:28Z

Wiki-13scoter:

== Background ==
The OSGeo Board of Directors met with the UN GIS team at FOSS4G in Seoul, Korea in September 2015. The UN GIS team is very interested in having OSGeo "at the table", and is interested in an exchange of official letters (an MoU would take many years to pass through on their side apparently) to formalize the relationship. Mr. Kyoung-Soo Eom, chief of the UN Geospatial Information Section, has invited OSGeo to be part of a working group on Geospatial Information and Services for Disasters.

== Goals ==

* Develop a closer relationship with the UN.

* Establish a formal agreement between OSGeo and the UN.

* Establish communication between the UN GIS team and the OSGeo community.

* Promote the use of Open Source geospatial tools by the UN's member states and committees.

== Communication ==

* a new "UN" mailing list will be created (see [https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1567#ticket ticket])

== Activities ==
* OSGeo has formally expressed interest in joining the [[UN-GGIM-Working-Group]] on Geospatial Information and Services for Disasters
** this was discussed at OSGeo's [[Board_Meeting_2015-10-15]]
** the UN is looking for feedback on the working group's [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/UN-GGIM-Working-Group#Draft_terms_of_reference_.28TOR.29 TOR draft]

== Next steps ==
* put out call for members for this new committee to Discuss list
* organize a monthly meeting, possibly using IRC or Slack
* draft official letter for formalizing relationship with UN

== Meetings ==

FOSS4G 2014 BirdsOfAFeather

2014-09-11T02:24:40Z

Wiki-13scoter:

= Introduction =
Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions are unstructured timeslots where people can self-organise themselves to discuss topics of interest.

 
= BoF's at the Oregon Convention Center =
== General Information ==
During the [http://2014.foss4g.org/ FOSS4G2014 conference] in Portland, USA, there will be a number of spaces for people to hold Birds of a Feather sessions.

 
The 1-hour time blocks outlined below are just general guidelines. Adjust as needed. For reference, an overview of the FOSS4G schedule is available at [https://2014.foss4g.org/about/calendar/ https://2014.foss4g.org/about/calendar/].

 
=== Rooms ===
We have three rooms each day at the Convention Center: E146, E147, & E148. These rooms are dedicated spaces so BoF to your heart's content! Default room configuration will be long tables arranged a U-shape (although "contents may settle while BoF'ing"). The room capacities stated below are based off of that U configuration. We'll try to have some additional chairs available as well.

 
Technically the Exhibit Hall has room too. It will be arranged ballroom style with round tables. However, keep in mind it is a large, open, and public space. As such, it can't really be reserved, and is probably not ideal for a formal meeting (i.e. it could be noisy). In a nut shell, use at your own risk.

=== Capacities ===
* Room E146: 36
* Room E147: 18
* Room E148: 20

FOSS4G 2014 BirdsOfAFeather

2014-09-11T00:08:31Z

Wiki-13scoter: Added a new BOF

= Introduction =
Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions are unstructured timeslots where people can self-organise themselves to discuss topics of interest.

 
= BoF's at the Oregon Convention Center =
== General Information ==
During the [http://2014.foss4g.org/ FOSS4G2014 conference] in Portland, USA, there will be a number of spaces for people to hold Birds of a Feather sessions.

 
The 1-hour time blocks outlined below are just general guidelines. Adjust as needed. For reference, an overview of the FOSS4G schedule is available at [https://2014.foss4g.org/about/calendar/ https://2014.foss4g.org/about/calendar/].

 
=== Rooms ===
We have three rooms each day at the Convention Center: E146, E147, & E148. These rooms are dedicated spaces so BoF to your heart's content! Default room configuration will be long tables arranged a U-shape (although "contents may settle while BoF'ing"). The room capacities stated below are based off of that U configuration. We'll try to have some additional chairs available as well.

 
Technically the Exhibit Hall has room too. It will be arranged ballroom style with round tables. However, keep in mind it is a large, open, and public space. As such, it can't really be reserved, and is probably not ideal for a formal meeting (i.e. it could be noisy). In a nut shell, use at your own risk.

=== Capacities ===
* Room E146: 36
* Room E147: 18
* Room E148: 20
