<p>Wiki-Bruce.bannerman: /* Current Members */</p> <hr /> <div>This page describes OSGeo's process for selecting individuals as per the [[OSGeo signs Memorandum of Understanding with OGC | agreement between OGC and OSGeo]] by which up to six OSGeo community members can become OGC Individual Members free of cost. <br /> <br /> == Members of OGC and OSGeo ==<br /> Many individuals, companies, universities and public administrations involved with OSGeo and Open Source software are also regular members of the OGC. The full list is available at the [http://www.opengeospatial.org/ogc/members OGC web site]. A lot of interaction and communication is already maintained through these members. <br /> <br /> == OSGeo Member Access to OGC Membership ==<br /> Especially innovative new projects with no existing infrastructure or a regular commercial champion often did not have a chance to participate in the internal OGC processes. Both the OGC and OSGeo have a mutual interest in facilitating this collaboration and have as per their [[OSGeo signs Memorandum of Understanding with OGC | Memorandum of Understanding]] agreed to allow for six OGC Individual Memberships to be used by OSGeo members. To obtain a membership, you must:<br /> # Determine if you are eligible for membership, based on the [http://www.opengeospatial.org/ogc/join/level/individual OGC Individual Membership] rules.<br /> # Submit a short summary of why you want an OGC membership and what work you plan to do with it. This summary should be sent to the selection committee (listed below).<br /> # Every six months, send a summary of what you have done with your membership to the selection committee and the standards list.<br /> <br /> Memberships are valid for one year, after which you may reapply by submitting a short summary of why you want an OGC membership. <br /> <br /> == Selection Committee ==<br /> The selection committee keeps track of who is using our OGC memberships and what they are doing with them. The committee is appointed by the board of directors and periodically reports back to the board on the status of our OGC activity.<br /> <br /> The members of this committee are currently: <br /> * [[Arnulf Christl]]<br /> * [[Bruce Bannerman]]<br /> <br /> The committee operates transparently, recording its action on the [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/standards Standards Mailing List].<br /> <br /> == Current Members ==<br /> # [[Angelos Tzotsos]] term ends on 2017-04-01 ''(confirmed active on 2015-09-10; reported to list on 2015-09-10)''<br /> # [[Gerald Fenoy]] term ends on 2017-09-28 ''(confirmed active on 2015-09-18)''<br /> # [[User:Kotzino | Dimitris Kotzinos]] term ends on 2017-10-16 ''(confirmed active on 2015-09-11; reported to list on 2015-10-26)''<br /> # [[User:lastools | Martin Isenburg]] term ends on 2018-01-08 ''(confirmed active on 2017-01-31; reported to list on 2015-09-10)''<br /> # [[User:Bruce.bannerman | Bruce Bannerman]] term ends on 2018-08-30 ''(confirmed active on 2017-08-30; reported to list on )''<br /> # ''Vacant''<br /> [[Category:OGC]]</div>

<p>Wiki-Bruce.bannerman: /* Members */</p> <hr /> <div>== Background ==<br /> 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 &quot;at the table&quot;, 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.<br /> <br /> == Goals ==<br /> <br /> * Develop a closer relationship with the UN.<br /> <br /> * Establish a formal agreement between OSGeo and the UN.<br /> <br /> * Establish communication between the UN GIS team and the OSGeo community.<br /> <br /> * Promote the use of Open Source geospatial tools by the UN's member states and committees.<br /> <br /> == Communication ==<br /> <br /> * a new &quot;UN&quot; mailing list has been created, please subscribe at https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/un<br /> <br /> == Activities ==<br /> * OSGeo has formally expressed interest in joining the [[UN-GGIM-Working-Group]] on Geospatial Information and Services for Disasters <br /> ** this was discussed at OSGeo's [[Board_Meeting_2015-10-15]]<br /> ** 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]<br /> <br /> == Next steps ==<br /> * put out call for members for this new committee to Discuss list<br /> * organize a monthly meeting, possibly using IRC or Slack<br /> * draft official letter for formalizing relationship with UN<br /> <br /> == Meetings ==<br /> <br /> *<br /> <br /> == Members ==<br /> <br /> * [[Jeff McKenna]]<br /> * [[Jochen Albrecht]] <br /> * [[Bob Basques]]<br /> * [[Massimiliano_Cannata]]<br /> * [[User:Ticheler|Jeroen Ticheler]]<br /> * [[Micha Silver]]<br /> * [[User:GodwinYeboah|Godwin Yeboah]]<br /> * [[User:Assefa|Yewondwossen Assefa]]<br /> * [[User:Nikos|Nikos Alexandris]]<br /> * [[User:AndrewTurner|Andrew Turner]]<br /> * [[Venkatesh Raghavan]]<br /> * [[User:Djay|Gérald Fenoy]]<br /> * [[User:Pmooney|Peter MOONEY]]<br /> * [[User:13scoter|Scott Hatcher]]<br /> * [[User:kotzino|Dimitris Kotzinos]]<br /> * [[User:ElaWoloszynska|Ela Wołoszyńska-Wiśniewska]]<br /> * [[User:Jachym|Jachym Cepicky]]<br /> * [[User:endofcap|Sanghee Shin]]<br /> * [[User:Giulianoramat|Giuliano Ramat]]<br /> * [[User:Gregory.giuliani|Gregory Giuliani]]<br /> * [[User:Till Adams|Till Adams]]<br /> * [[User:Maria gridw|Maria Andrzejewska]]<br /> * [[User:rburhum|Ragi Y.

<p>Wiki-Bruce.bannerman: /* Votes/Comments */</p> <hr /> <div>Future organisation of FOSS4G has been discussed at [http://2014.foss4g.org FOSS4G 2014] then followed onto OSGeo emails lists (Conference, Discuss and Board lists).<br /> <br /> This wiki page aims to collate background information, options, options, and recommendations in order to facilitate making decisions about guiding the future management of FOSS4G events.<br /> <br /> = Editing this wiki =<br /> All are encouraged to add to this wiki. Opinions (rather than facts) should be prefaced with your name:<br /> <br /> [First Last] Comment ...<br /> <br /> = Background =<br /> The international FOSS4G conference has grown from 100-200 attendees when it started 10+ years ago, to ~ 800 attendees now in 2014. Some regional events are also attracting large numbers. Extra attendance leads to extra effort required to coordinate, leading the OSGeo Community to consider options on how to move forward.<br /> <br /> = Options for focus = <br /> The official event policy states an OSGeo event must contribute positively to the [[OSGeo Mission]], which is a) to support the development of open source Geospatial Software, and b) to promote its widespread use.<br /> Focus for any OSGeo can balance between these 2 goals: focussing on the support of the developement probably targets on a smaller well-known inner circle, whereas focussing on promotion of its use aims at a broader audience.<br /> <br /> == Focus on supporting the development of open source geospatial software ==<br /> === Advantages ===<br /> <br /> * Great venue to promote how open source works and attract new developers<br /> * Foss4g as a &quot;meeting of tribes&quot; promotes cross platform activities<br /> * Attracting new committers is a goal for projects joining a software foundation.<br /> <br /> === Disadvantages ===<br /> <br /> * Conflict with customer focus (developers attendance often sponsored by their employer)<br /> <br /> == Focus on the promotion of use of open source geospatial software ==<br /> === Advantages ===<br /> <br /> * Great boost for open source adoption in the hosting region (attendance often draws from nearby countries)<br /> <br /> === Disadvantages ===<br /> <br /> * Travel hard to justify<br /> <br /> == Consideration of remaining OSGeo goals ==<br /> <br /> FOSS4G touches on all foundation goals:<br /> <br /> * To provide resources for foundation projects - eg. infrastructure, funding, legal.&lt;br /&gt;Funds raised by foss4g support OSGeo operation.<br /> <br /> * To promote freely available geodata - free software is useless without data.&lt;br /&gt;Topic of interest in the foss4g program.<br /> <br /> * To promote the use of open source software in the geospatial industry (not just foundation software) - eg. PR, training, outreach.&lt;br /&gt;Foss4g presentations and workshops are not limited to foundation projects.<br /> <br /> * To encourage the implementation of open standards and standards-based interoperability in foundation projects.&lt;br /&gt;Topic of interest in the foss4g program.<br /> <br /> * To ensure a high degree of quality in foundation projects in order to build and preserve the foundation &quot;brand&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;Handing out OSGeo Live (and the marketing opportunity of foss4g) helps encourage an annual release for foundation projects.<br /> <br /> * To make foundation and related software more accessible to end users - eg. binary &quot;stack&quot; builds, cross package documentation.&lt;br /&gt;Workshops and presentations promote accessibility. Cross project presentations (benchmarks) less common - perhaps worth funding.<br /> <br /> * To provide support for the use of OSGeo software in education via curriculum development, outreach, and support.&lt;br /&gt;Topic of interest in the foss4g program.<br /> <br /> * To encourage communication and cooperation between OSGeo communities on different language (eg. Java/C/Python) and operating system (eg. Win32, Unix, MacOS) platforms.&lt;br /&gt;Foss4g is billed as the &quot;meeting of the tribes&quot; - this has gradually dissolved boundaries leaving a solid focus on spatial rather than language or platform.<br /> <br /> * To support use and contribution to foundation projects from the worldwide community through internationalization of software and community outreach.&lt;br /&gt;Foss4g is our largest outreach effort, the selection process encourages the event to be held in a range of locations world wide.<br /> <br /> * To operate an annual OSGeo Conference, possibly in cooperation with related efforts (eg. EOGEO).&lt;br /&gt; Foss4g acts as our annual OSGeo conference. <br /> <br /> * To award the Sol Katz award for service to the OSGeo community.&lt;br /&gt;Announced at foss4g.<br /> <br /> = Options for management of FOSS4G =<br /> Following are options which have been identified.<br /> <br /> ==Same as before==<br /> For a number of years, the LOCs for large FOSS4G events have hired a new Professional Conference Organiser (PCO). This PCO is usually local and knows the city where the event is being held.<br /> <br /> ===Advantages===<br /> * Minimal effort (for the board) to set up.<br /> * A local PCO likely has local experience.<br /> <br /> ===Disadvantages===<br /> * Loss of knowledge between events and associated risk of failure.<br /> * Significant stress put on LOCs.<br /> <br /> ===Votes/Comments===<br /> * -0 CameronShorter<br /> * -1 Darrell: This model simply doesn't scale. The idea that local knowledge is required for the PCO position is, quite simply, false. (I find it amazing that we can operate a global organization on a small budget, but are unable to conceive that others are also able to.)<br /> * -1 Jive: If we want foss4g then this model does not scale, if we were more flexible we could end up with a different flavour each annual conference<br /> * -0 DanielKastl: Pretty much every year some local community has to reinvent the wheel, setup a new infrastructure for website, payment, etc.. IMO it's currently done not very efficient.<br /> * +1 BruceBannerman: Having served on the LOC for FOSS4G 2009, this work is not overly onerous. Local knowledge in the Professional Organiser definitely helps. There is certainly room to improve how events are done: OSGeo could for example insist that the LOC contain members of past successful events; OSGeo could insist on common software, web infrastructure etc.<br /> <br /> ==Engage a long term (for profit) PCO==<br /> <br /> ===Advantages===<br /> * Institutional knowledge. The conference knowledge carries on in the organisation, and is hopefully not entirely imbued in one person. <br /> * Simplicity.<br /> <br /> ===Disadvantages===<br /> * How would an OSGeo exit out of the arrangement with the PCO if the relationship sours?<br /> * It is in the vested interests of a PCO not to share information with community, such that we become reliant upon the PCO.<br /> <br /> ===Votes/Comments===<br /> * -0 CameronShorter. I'm nervous about an exit strategy if things go sour.<br /> * +1 Darrell. It's simple, the contract is renewable on an annual basis. If either party isn't happy with the arrangement, it can be ended. Put into the contract what knowledge is to be shared and how.<br /> * -0 Jive: Risk is a subject for contract negotiation<br /> * +0 DanielKastl: It's better than looking for a new PCO every year, so if there is a good candidate this might not require much work for OSGeo. I just doubt that it's easy to find a suitable PCO.<br /> * -1 BruceBannerman: It is unlikely that OSGeo will find a single PCO with local experience and capabilities across the globe, e.g. what locations are suitable to hold the event; how effective are local communications; which caterers are good and reliable; what parts of a city do you *not* want delegates to stay in; are there any local government incentives that can assist the organisers. Also, how can OSGeo be sure that there is an open and accountable process to select the 'global' PCO?<br /> <br /> == Hire a staff person to be the organiser ==<br /> <br /> This is more risk, but also offers more potential.<br /> <br /> [[Jeff McKenna]] proposed this option formally to the OSGeo Board in 2011. A full job description and rates are outlined on the wiki page: [[FOSS4G Advisor Role]]<br /> <br /> ===Advantages:===<br /> <br /> * Having a staff person allows OSGeo to be more flexible in organising conferences. Is there a budding regional conference that needs some assistance? We can help with that. Would OSGeo like to foster growth in regions without a local FOSS4G event? OSGeo can do that.<br /> <br /> ===Disadvantages===<br /> <br /> * You would only have one staff person, which means more risk of losing institutional knowledge if that person leaves.<br /> * Potential for being seen as less of a a volunteer led organisation. <br /> * Hiring is hard, and takes time, especially to find a good autonomous person to take on this role<br /> <br /> ===Votes/Comments===<br /> * +0 CameronShorter<br /> * +0 Darrell: I think this is a good idea, if and only if OSGeo has a clear vision of how they want the organization and the role to grow. Right now, I don't see that they do.<br /> * +0 Jive: Would hate to see us responsible for an employee, easier to exit out of a relationship with PCO. Still an employee could line up PCO in region hosting foss4g (as we advise LOC committee to do) while handling community / publicity angle.<br /> * +1 DanielKastl: I wouldn't call it &quot;hire a staff&quot;, but pay people to spend a certain amount of time to lead organizing the conference. This doesn't need to be a single person (but could be shared within a small team of 2 or 3 people). The idea is, that there is a knowledge transfer from one year to the next, and that work gets done, that volunteers may not find so motivating (ie. overlook the conference management, acquiring sponsors, boring paper work, report to OSGeo,...). German FOSSGIS is doing this way for their local conference, and I think it works pretty well.<br /> * -1 BruceBannerman: This option would have similar problems to hire a single POC, specifically a lack of local knowledge required to effectively plan and run an event.<br /> <br /> == Partner with LocationTech==<br /> <br /> ===Advantages===<br /> <br /> * LocationTech works in the same space, has contacts, and the Eclipse Foundation already runs conferences<br /> * Retention of knowledge between regions<br /> * Potential for future, deepened partnerships<br /> <br /> ===Disadvantages===<br /> <br /> * LocationTech works in the same space, has contacts, and the Eclipse Foundation already runs conferences, so there’s a potential for conflicts of interest<br /> * If it doesn’t work out for whatever reason, future partnership opportunities might be lost<br /> * Potential OSGeo Brand dilution due to obvious prominence of LocationTech taking responsibility. Eg, publicity emails would come from a LocationTech email address.<br /> * Reduction in OSGeo income.<br /> <br /> ===Votes/Comments===<br /> * -0 CameronShorter. I think the OSGeo/LocationTech relationship discussions have further to go first. Also concerned about loss of OSGeo income and branding.<br /> * -0 VasileCraciunescu. Mostly because I'm concerned about the dilution of OSGeo brand and values.<br /> * +0 Jive: This is outreach - recommend joint events with a range of open source groups - expect LocationTech is an easy way to get started.<br /> * -0 DanielKastl: It sounds too nice to have a &quot;win-win&quot; collaboration, but I fear there is also some conflict of interest. It might be good to give this a try on a local conference (such as FOSS4G NA) first.<br /> * -0 BruceBannerman. I echo Cameron's and Vasile's comments.<br /> <br /> = References =<br /> * [[FOSS4G]]<br /> * [[FOSS4G Handbook]]<br /> * [[Official OSGeo Event Policy]]<br /> <br /> [[Category: FOSS4G]]<br /> [[Category:Conference Committee]]</div>

<p>Wiki-Bruce.bannerman: /* Votes/Comments */</p> <hr /> <div>Future organisation of FOSS4G has been discussed at [http://2014.foss4g.org FOSS4G 2014] then followed onto OSGeo emails lists (Conference, Discuss and Board lists).<br /> <br /> This wiki page aims to collate background information, options, options, and recommendations in order to facilitate making decisions about guiding the future management of FOSS4G events.<br /> <br /> = Editing this wiki =<br /> All are encouraged to add to this wiki. Opinions (rather than facts) should be prefaced with your name:<br /> <br /> [First Last] Comment ...<br /> <br /> = Background =<br /> The international FOSS4G conference has grown from 100-200 attendees when it started 10+ years ago, to ~ 800 attendees now in 2014. Some regional events are also attracting large numbers. Extra attendance leads to extra effort required to coordinate, leading the OSGeo Community to consider options on how to move forward.<br /> <br /> = Options for focus = <br /> The official event policy states an OSGeo event must contribute positively to the [[OSGeo Mission]], which is a) to support the development of open source Geospatial Software, and b) to promote its widespread use.<br /> Focus for any OSGeo can balance between these 2 goals: focussing on the support of the developement probably targets on a smaller well-known inner circle, whereas focussing on promotion of its use aims at a broader audience.<br /> <br /> == Focus on supporting the development of open source geospatial software ==<br /> === Advantages ===<br /> <br /> * Great venue to promote how open source works and attract new developers<br /> * Foss4g as a &quot;meeting of tribes&quot; promotes cross platform activities<br /> * Attracting new committers is a goal for projects joining a software foundation.<br /> <br /> === Disadvantages ===<br /> <br /> * Conflict with customer focus (developers attendance often sponsored by their employer)<br /> <br /> == Focus on the promotion of use of open source geospatial software ==<br /> === Advantages ===<br /> <br /> * Great boost for open source adoption in the hosting region (attendance often draws from nearby countries)<br /> <br /> === Disadvantages ===<br /> <br /> * Travel hard to justify<br /> <br /> == Consideration of remaining OSGeo goals ==<br /> <br /> FOSS4G touches on all foundation goals:<br /> <br /> * To provide resources for foundation projects - eg. infrastructure, funding, legal.&lt;br /&gt;Funds raised by foss4g support OSGeo operation.<br /> <br /> * To promote freely available geodata - free software is useless without data.&lt;br /&gt;Topic of interest in the foss4g program.<br /> <br /> * To promote the use of open source software in the geospatial industry (not just foundation software) - eg. PR, training, outreach.&lt;br /&gt;Foss4g presentations and workshops are not limited to foundation projects.<br /> <br /> * To encourage the implementation of open standards and standards-based interoperability in foundation projects.&lt;br /&gt;Topic of interest in the foss4g program.<br /> <br /> * To ensure a high degree of quality in foundation projects in order to build and preserve the foundation &quot;brand&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;Handing out OSGeo Live (and the marketing opportunity of foss4g) helps encourage an annual release for foundation projects.<br /> <br /> * To make foundation and related software more accessible to end users - eg. binary &quot;stack&quot; builds, cross package documentation.&lt;br /&gt;Workshops and presentations promote accessibility. Cross project presentations (benchmarks) less common - perhaps worth funding.<br /> <br /> * To provide support for the use of OSGeo software in education via curriculum development, outreach, and support.&lt;br /&gt;Topic of interest in the foss4g program.<br /> <br /> * To encourage communication and cooperation between OSGeo communities on different language (eg. Java/C/Python) and operating system (eg. Win32, Unix, MacOS) platforms.&lt;br /&gt;Foss4g is billed as the &quot;meeting of the tribes&quot; - this has gradually dissolved boundaries leaving a solid focus on spatial rather than language or platform.<br /> <br /> * To support use and contribution to foundation projects from the worldwide community through internationalization of software and community outreach.&lt;br /&gt;Foss4g is our largest outreach effort, the selection process encourages the event to be held in a range of locations world wide.<br /> <br /> * To operate an annual OSGeo Conference, possibly in cooperation with related efforts (eg. EOGEO).&lt;br /&gt; Foss4g acts as our annual OSGeo conference. <br /> <br /> * To award the Sol Katz award for service to the OSGeo community.&lt;br /&gt;Announced at foss4g.<br /> <br /> = Options for management of FOSS4G =<br /> Following are options which have been identified.<br /> <br /> ==Same as before==<br /> For a number of years, the LOCs for large FOSS4G events have hired a new Professional Conference Organiser (PCO). This PCO is usually local and knows the city where the event is being held.<br /> <br /> ===Advantages===<br /> * Minimal effort (for the board) to set up.<br /> * A local PCO likely has local experience.<br /> <br /> ===Disadvantages===<br /> * Loss of knowledge between events and associated risk of failure.<br /> * Significant stress put on LOCs.<br /> <br /> ===Votes/Comments===<br /> * -0 CameronShorter<br /> * -1 Darrell: This model simply doesn't scale. The idea that local knowledge is required for the PCO position is, quite simply, false. (I find it amazing that we can operate a global organization on a small budget, but are unable to conceive that others are also able to.)<br /> * -1 Jive: If we want foss4g then this model does not scale, if we were more flexible we could end up with a different flavour each annual conference<br /> * -0 DanielKastl: Pretty much every year some local community has to reinvent the wheel, setup a new infrastructure for website, payment, etc.. IMO it's currently done not very efficient.<br /> * +1 BruceBannerman: Having served on the POC for FOSS4G 2009, this work is not overly onerous. Local knowledge in the Professional Organiser definitely helps. There is certainly room to improve how events are done: OSGeo could for example insist that the LOC contain members of past successful events; OSGeo could insist on common software, web infrastructure etc.<br /> <br /> ==Engage a long term (for profit) PCO==<br /> <br /> ===Advantages===<br /> * Institutional knowledge. The conference knowledge carries on in the organisation, and is hopefully not entirely imbued in one person. <br /> * Simplicity.<br /> <br /> ===Disadvantages===<br /> * How would an OSGeo exit out of the arrangement with the PCO if the relationship sours?<br /> * It is in the vested interests of a PCO not to share information with community, such that we become reliant upon the PCO.<br /> <br /> ===Votes/Comments===<br /> * -0 CameronShorter. I'm nervous about an exit strategy if things go sour.<br /> * +1 Darrell. It's simple, the contract is renewable on an annual basis. If either party isn't happy with the arrangement, it can be ended. Put into the contract what knowledge is to be shared and how.<br /> * -0 Jive: Risk is a subject for contract negotiation<br /> * +0 DanielKastl: It's better than looking for a new PCO every year, so if there is a good candidate this might not require much work for OSGeo. I just doubt that it's easy to find a suitable PCO.<br /> <br /> == Hire a staff person to be the organiser ==<br /> <br /> This is more risk, but also offers more potential.<br /> <br /> [[Jeff McKenna]] proposed this option formally to the OSGeo Board in 2011. A full job description and rates are outlined on the wiki page: [[FOSS4G Advisor Role]]<br /> <br /> ===Advantages:===<br /> <br /> * Having a staff person allows OSGeo to be more flexible in organising conferences. Is there a budding regional conference that needs some assistance? We can help with that. Would OSGeo like to foster growth in regions without a local FOSS4G event? OSGeo can do that.<br /> <br /> ===Disadvantages===<br /> <br /> * You would only have one staff person, which means more risk of losing institutional knowledge if that person leaves.<br /> * Potential for being seen as less of a a volunteer led organisation. <br /> * Hiring is hard, and takes time, especially to find a good autonomous person to take on this role<br /> <br /> ===Votes/Comments===<br /> * +0 CameronShorter<br /> * +0 Darrell: I think this is a good idea, if and only if OSGeo has a clear vision of how they want the organization and the role to grow. Right now, I don't see that they do.<br /> * +0 Jive: Would hate to see us responsible for an employee, easier to exit out of a relationship with PCO.

<p>Wiki-Bruce.bannerman: </p> <hr /> <div>''Please read the [[Talk:OSGeo Vision for UN-GGIM | Talk Page]] to see what this page is about''<br /> <br /> '''The United Nations Programme on [http://ggim.un.org Global Geospatial Information Management (GGIM)] is an inter-governmental mechanism to consult on issues related to global geospatial information.'''<br /> <br /> = Emerging Trends in Geospatial Information Management =<br /> The perspective from the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo).<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> OSGeo set out to support and promote the Open Source development in 2006. Initially starting with a very software centric perspective OSGeo members soon developed a broader perspective on Openness in the geospatial realm. This includes access to geospatial data, especially created and maintained by the public administration. <br /> <br /> == Current Development ==<br /> Open Source has developed into a widely recognized business model supporting the creation, analysis and dissemination of geospatial data. More recently this also includes the opening of underlying algorithms, independent of specific software packages, making analysis more transparent than ever before. This trend will continue and over time permeate all software creation processes eventually replacing proprietary black box systems also eliminating the dangers of vendor lock-in. There is no distinct time frame because the different areas of work and levels of specialization require their own time to evolve. Taking current transition into account within the next 5 year the larger number of geospatial web publication systems will run exclusively on Open Source. In the following five years analysis and processing will increasingly shift towards using Open Source enabling cloud deployment. <br /> <br /> == Data Persistence ==<br /> Over the past year the OSGeo Foundation has more and more recognized the importance of the data itself as the heart and core for anything geospatial. This makes software nothing but a means to make use of spatial data, the real value always lies in the data. Proprietary business models naturally put much more focus on the software and make a profit from it's nature to quickly evolve and change requiring the users to also change. But especially in the geospatial domain the data needs to be persistent to allow for temporal analysis in years to come. <br /> <br /> == Data Access ==<br /> It is hard to prove that a change in policy will achieve results until the change has taken effect. Even then other factors can have strong influence on the results. Having said that it is even more important to understand that absolutely all studies which have been carried out to study the effects of opening data access invariably show that this improves all aspects in information management. This includes disaster management, public safety, environmental sustainability and is also at the core of good governance and transparency. On the other hand all efforts at restricting access to data impede development be it on a short term as in disaster alleviation or longer term when used as basis for improving social cohesion in communities. Improving data access applies to all themes and scales ranging from local, through national and up to global level. <br /> <br /> Digital data access also touches very new privacy issues which have raised discussion at all levels. Data is collected through social networks, multinational corporations and governments equally and in all cases transparency is key to good governance, again requiring open data access in order to allow controlling instances to be able to <br /> <br /> == Economic Development ==<br /> Open Source especially under it's alias Free Software was often misunderstood to be anti-business and thus also undermining economic growth strategies. But quite the opposite is true. Open Source avoids monopolies, supports diversity, allows easy access to markets and in a positive sense is a perfect fit for the globalized economy. Instead of damaging the economy it empowers new market players to easily access markets and produce improved offerings. Therefore an Open Source policy will support strategic agendas of economic growth and in the long run also foster social cohesion. <br /> <br /> One source of resistance by government data producers against releasing data freely are short sighted economic considerations. During a phase of privatization in governments geospatial data was recognized as a potential resource of income. In effect this has never really funded the creation of the data but only covered a fraction of the production cost. It is out of question to privatize or completely outsource geospatial data management because it is the foundation of one of the most important administrative task of the government. Instead of trying to raise money by selling geospatial base data after the fact, the cost must be shifted to those who cause change in the environment, typically private undertakings, polluters, agriculture and so on. With the advent of geospatially enabled sensors, GPS, bi-directionally communicating traffic navigation systems and similar technologies a lot of geospatial data is raised which can be used statistically both to create new insights and quality assure geospatial base data. <br /> <br /> All of these developments are very recent and still need to be comprehensibly communicated to the political level in order to allow this level to decide helpful policies. <br /> <br /> == Collaboration ==<br /> Open Source and Open Standards support collaboration by making sharing and exchanging of both software and data easier. In turn, collaboration is the primary motor for software development and reason for the high quality and fast innovation cycle of successful projects. Truly open standards evolve together with the technical capabilities and the needs of the communities developing and applying them. They do not restrict innovation but instead they make sure that data can be exchanged - which is the foundation for collaboration. The recent phenomenon of Crowd Sourcing would not have been possible without both Open Source Software and Open Standards. Crowd Sourcing is still an emerging phenomenon but has already proven to be an important aspect of disaster management and an indispensable aspect of good governance.<br /> <br /> Collaboration improves data quality. This has been widely demonstrated by the Open Source software movement (note that not all Open Source software is simply by definition good but that only successful projects with good governance can succeed and then also have high quality). Another examples from the geospatial domain is cross border collaboration which ensures that the quality of the data on both sides of the border is double checked and improved. The same process on a much broader level, between scales and also cross thematically will develop when crowd sourced data is organizationally intersected with administrative and governmental data as is already happening mainly at the local level and initiated by more innovative members of the community. <br /> <br /> This development will take more concrete forms within the next 5 years and be commonplace within the next 10 years. Exceptions might be seen in areas where national strategic economic agendas focus on supporting proprietary software industry or where environmental sustainability and good governance are not on the primary political agenda.</div>

It is also encouraging to see an increasing degree of cooperation and cross fertilisation between Australian and New Zealand organisations.<br /> <br /> == Scope ==<br /> <br /> The OSGeo-AustNZ community welcomes any individual with interest in open source spatial.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Mission ==<br /> <br /> OSGeo-AustNZ establishes a focal point for liaison, outreach, and technical interests within the Australian and New Zealand Region. We also welcome interest from our neighbours, so please don't feel excluded.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The chapter is primarily organised around our mailing list (http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/aust-nz). Discussions can be quite lively and have attracted a who's who of 'spatial' both nationally and internationally. <br /> <br /> The aim of this mailing list is to try to break down the traditional silos that exist between organisations and get people excited, working together and talking about what '''can''' be done with open source spatial. <br /> <br /> Given the geographic size of our region, we do not often get the chance to meet, but when the opportunity arises it is seized with both hands.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Getting Involved ==<br /> <br /> OSGeo-AustNZ is an organisation that is guided by the interests of its volunteers. Get involved now and make a difference!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Examples of OSGeo-AustNZ activities ==<br /> <br /> Submission for Australia's Parliament of Victoria's Inquiry Into Improving Access To Victorian Public Sector Information and Data Version 1.1: dated 22nd August 2008 by Bruce Bannerman, Cameron Shorter<br /> <br /> The Submission may be found [http://wiki.osgeo.org/images/1/14/Osgeo-austnz_vic_inquiry_psi_v1.1.pdf here.]<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Presence at conferences==<br /> * 2009-10, Sydney [[FOSS4G_2009]].
