== OSGeo INSPIRE/SDI activities ==
Based on the discussion in OSGeo-Discuss list [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2013-May/011709.html], the INPIRE/SDI BoF shall be a starting point for OSGeo being more active in SDIs. In particular [http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/ europes INSPIRE directive] has a big impact in all days work with geodata and national SDIs.

== OGC/OSGeo meet up ==
OGC and OSGeo have always been strongly linked, from our common roots in the early open source geospatial community, our 2008 MoU, and the ongoing benefits we continue to realize from each other's activities. As both organisations continue to lead at the top of their respective fields, are there ways that we can work more closely and provide greater support for each other's work?

This BoF is intended as an informal meet up to hear people's thoughts and suggestions.

* When - Friday 20th September, 08:00 - 09:00 in the GeoCamp Marquee

Who is coming:
* Denise McKenzie, OGC Marketing and Communications
* [[User:ian|Ian Edwards]], OSGeo UK/WebCom, OGC member
* [[User:Mlechner|Marco Lechner]], [http://www.fossgis.de OSGeo D-A-CH/FOSSGIS e.V.]

== OSGeo-Live ==
Ideas for [http://live.osgeo.org OSGeo-Live] BOF (which might spill into a [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2013_Code_Sprint Code Sprint] with sufficient interest):
* Discuss strategy for improving translation process
* Work out a strategy for printing and distributing DVDs / USBs, and paying for them. The hard part is working out how to process 50+ requests for DVDs per year.
* Many of the quickstarts need review/tweaks. A day of people running quickstarts, reporting issues, capturing screen shots, would greatly benefit the project. It would be a great introduction for someone to both OSGeo software, and the Open Source development process, as well as being a very valuable contribution to the community.

;Topics
* How to create PDF documentation.
* PostCards

Time Slot: Thursday, 19th, 6-7pm (Room : TBD)

Great opportunity for the distributed network of developers and users to meet each other and discuss InaSAFE [http://inasafe.org/] as well as for newcomers and workshop attendants [http://2013.foss4g.org/conf/programme/workshops/9/] to become involved in the community.

== ELOGeo - learning materials for FOSS-GIS ==

Time Slot and location: Friday, 1-1:30pm, GeoCamp (marquee)

The ELOGeo platform has been set up as a means for the community to share learning resources for FOSS GIS under a Creative Commons 3 licence. We at the University of Nottingham have some additional funding to work on functionality and design of the system, and we're interested in some community views on this. Please come along to say what you think! (Not usually a problem in OSGeo...) We'll have some design ideas for you to think about, and questions about the content & access.

Topics:
* how useful is the current collection of materials?
* organisation: what are good ways to tag or organise the collection?
* design: how could this be improved?

Who is coming:
* [[User:jmorley| Jeremy Morley]] (Nottingham Geospatial Institute)
* Adam Rousell (Nottingham Geospatial Institute)

== The Future of GeoExt BOF ==

Time Slot and location: Friday, 15:30-16:30pm, GeoCamp (marquee)

GeoExt brings together the geospatial know how of OpenLayers with the user interface savvy of Ext JS to help you build powerful desktop style GIS apps on the web with JavaScript. With the development of OpenLayers 3, does it make sense to create GeoExt 3 ?

Topics:
* GeoExt 3 ?
* Possible alternatives ?
* is it possible to implement a front-end GeoServer client via REST?

Who is coming:
* [[User:cmoullet| Cédric Moullet]] (swisstopo)
* [[User:IanMayo|Ian Mayo]]
* [[User:Delawen|Maria Arias de Reyna]] (geocat/geonetwork) if I can make it

== Open Source Router ==

For those not familiar with the concept, routing provides the path between two locations. Often there can be criteria considered such as time, cost, and so forth.

===Project Purpose===

The intention of this project is to work towards creation of open source software providing routing capability.

===Design goals===

Desired attributes:
* Library Coded in C (or C wrapper to C++)
* Architected and designed for performance
* Abstracted storage to allow for use of data from various sources e.g. shapefiles, RDBMS, others

===Relevant Existing Open Source Technologies===

* [http://pgrouting.postlbs.org/ pgRouting]
* GRASS GIS v.net.* modules see:
** http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/v.net.html - Vector maintenance
** http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/v.net.path.html - Shortest path
** http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/v.net.salesman.html - Traveling salesman (round trip)
** http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/v.net.alloc.html - Allocation of sources (create subnetworks)
** http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/v.net.steiner.html - Minimum Steiner trees (star-like connections)
** http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/v.net.visibility.html - Visibility graph construction
** http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/v.net.iso.html - Iso-distances (from centers)

===Target Licensing===

* Preference for a liberal license to encourage adoption by maximum number of technologies both proprietary and open source
