= 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

MapFish Incubation Status

2011-08-02T08:24:46Z

Wiki-Erilem: /* Terms and Definitions */

= Document Status =

'''IncCom Document Number''': X

'''Version''': 1.2

'''Status''': final draft

= Purpose =

The project representative and mentor will use this template to inform the IncCom of the project status on a periodic basis. The state of the project, as reported using this template, will be the initial indication that a project is reaching graduation.

= Template =

== General ==

; Has the project been approved for incubation by the OSGeo board?
: Yes.

; Has an Incubation Mentor been assigned to the project?
: Gary Sherman has been assigned as mentor.

== Infrastructure Transition ==

''Note, for each of the following it isn't necessary to move to foundation infrastructure, but if you aren't a reason should be provided.''

; Has the projectname.osgeo.org domain been populated with the projects web presence?
: If not why, and has the project page got a prominent link to the real home?

We do not use the "mapfish.osgeo.org" domain, but we have http://www.osgeo.org/mapfish.

The main website for MapFish is http://mapfish.org, which is clearly referenced from http://www.osgeo.org/mapfish.

; Is the OSGeo bug tracker being used for the project?
: If not, why?

No, we do not use the OSGeo bug tracker. We have trac.mapfish.org, which is known and used. Also, we're planning
to use Github, to benefit from the power and flexibility of Git and Github. We will use Github primarily for the
hosting of the MapFish code, but we're considering using its bug/issue tracker as well.

; Is the OSGeo mailing list manager (http://lists.osgeo.org/) being used for the project?
: If not, why?

No. Currently we have a running infrastructure in place with people already registered, but we could migrate to OSGeo if necessary.

; Is the OSGeo SVN being used for the project?
: If not, why?

No. As mentioned above, we're seriously considering moving the MapFish code to Github.

; Are binary and source downloads available from http://download.osgeo.org ?
: If not, why?

MapFish isn't distributed as a binary. MapFish is a collection of Python packages, which are distributed through
dedicated Python package repositories hosted on http://www.mapfish.org. As an example here's the Python package
repository for MapFish 2.2: http://www.mapfish.org/downloads/2.2/pkg/

We provide a Python script for installing MapFish. The script is available at http://www.mapfish.org/downloads/,
as well as at http://download.osgeo.org/mapfish/.

The source code is distributed through the MapFish SVN repository. It is also available as tarball archives
at http://www.mapfish.org/downloads/.

== Community Functioning ==

; Is there a functioning user support mechanisms (ie. mailing list)?
: indicate the available user support mechanisms, and whether they seem to be functioning well (are getting used and get answers).

There are two mailing-lists:
[MapFish-Users] 276 members (June 2011)
[MapFish-Dev] 110 members (June 2011)

There is a good operation on this list with a really fast response time

; Are source and binary downloads for the package available?
: yes/no (and any caveats)

Yes, both the sources and binaries are distributed.
For installation there is an installation script for download which makes install really easy to everybody.
There are also links for direct SVN-checkout and manuals for installing from source.

There are also brief manuals for installing the environment, getting MapFish running with Apache and so on.

; Has a Project Steering Committee been formed, and given control of the project?
: yes/no, indicate members and whether it has effective control.

Yes, the PSC was formed in 2009. There are 7 members, 5 were voted by the community and 2 were voted by the PSC afterwards.
Members are:
Eric Lemoine (Chair)
Bruno Binet
Yves Moisan
Julien-Samuel Lacroix
Till Adams
David Oesch
Cedric Moullet

; Does the Project Steering Committee have documentation on project procedures for PSC decisions, contributor guidelines, etc.
: yes/no - provide pointers to various related documents.

Yes. There is a "MapFish Project Steering Committee Process" outlined on the wiki (http://trac.mapfish.org/trac/mapfish/wiki/Community/PSC/Process).
In general the process is based on/derived from the OpenLayers, GDAL and Mapserver OSGeo Projects.

; How many active developers are there? Are they from multiple organizations?
: Indicate number and some organizations involved.

There are 11 committers, 8 from Camptocamp, 1 from Swisstopo, 1 from Sourcepole, 1 from Landcare Research.
We welcome contributions from others, and are open to grant commit access to other people.
http://trac.mapfish.org/trac/mapfish/wiki/Community/HowToContribute

== Foundation Membership ==

; Have project documents been updated to reflect membership in the foundation, and the relationship of the project to the foundation?
: If not, indicate when this will occur.

We have added OSGeo logos to the MapFish website and wiki/trac, and affiliates MapFish to OSGeo in the text of the website.

; Has an effort been made to brand the project web site with OSGeo foundation web styling and branding marks?
: If not, indicate what is planned. (''note: currently an OSGeo web style has not bee established'')

We have added OSGeo logos to the MapFish website and wiki/trac, and affiliates MapFish to OSGeo in the text of the website.

== Code Copyright Review ==

; Has a [[Code Provenance Review]] document been prepared for the project?
: yes/no - point to review document.

Yes, see https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AvqoHyRAlETPdGt5aG5SMGhOQ0hkSWZ1MllmUzRFVWc&authkey=CPPyj9kE&hl=en&pli=1#gid=0

; Have issues raised in the provenance review been adequately addressed?
: indicate outstanding issues.

No outstanding issues.

; Are [[Commiter Responsibilities Guidelines]] covering legal issues in place?
: yes/no - point to the guidelines and indicate if it is adopted by PSC, and accepted by all commiters.

Yes, see https://trac.mapfish.org/trac/mapfish/wiki/Community/CommittersResponsibilitiesGuidelines

== General ==

; Has the project been approved for incubation by the OSGeo board?

== Infrastructure Transition ==

''Note, for each of the following it isn't necessary to move to foundation infrastructure, but if you aren't a reason should be provided.''

; Has the projectname.osgeo.org domain been populated with the projects web presence?
: If not why, and has the project page got a prominent link to the real home?

We do not use the "mapfish.osgeo.org" domain, but we have http://www.osgeo.org/mapfish.

The main website for MapFish is http://mapfish.org, which is clearly referenced from http://www.osgeo.org/mapfish.

; Is the OSGeo bug tracker being used for the project?
: If not, why?

No, we do not use the OSGeo bug tracker. We have trac.mapfish.org, which is known and used. Also, we're planning
to use Github, to benefit from the power and flexibility of Git and Github. We will use Github primarily for the
hosting of the MapFish code, but we're considering using its bug/issue tracker as well.

; Is the OSGeo mailing list manager (http://lists.osgeo.org/) being used for the project?
: If not, why?

No. Currently we have a running infrastructure in place with people already registered, but we could migrate to OSGeo if necessary.

; Is the OSGeo SVN being used for the project?
: If not, why?

No. As mentioned above, we're seriously considering moving the MapFish code to Github.

; Are binary and source downloads available from http://download.osgeo.org ?
: If not, why?

MapFish isn't distributed as a binary. MapFish is a collection of Python packages, which are distributed through
dedicated Python package repositories hosted on http://www.mapfish.org.

We provide a Python script for installing MapFish. The script is available at http://www.mapfish.org/downloads/,
as well as at http://download.osgeo.org/mapfish/.

The source code is distributed through the MapFish SVN repository. It is also available as tarball archives
at http://www.mapfish.org/downloads/.

Python Package
Index, which is a repo. We don't provide binaries, so we don't think
http://download.osgeo.org would be appropriate.

If needed, we could upload http://www.mapfish.org/downloads/go-mapfish-framework-2.2.py
to http://download.osgeo.org even if this is not binary.

The official URL is mapfish.org and there is a direct link from OsGeo-website to this site.

; Is the OSGeo bug tracker being used for the project?
: If not, why?

No, at the moment Trac on the MapFish site is used. So if migration were a future need, the technical issues should be minimal.

; Is the OSGeo mailing list manager (http://lists.osgeo.org/) being used for the project?
: If not, why?

No. (s.a.)

; Is the OSGeo SVN being used for the project?
: If not, why?

No, but MapFish does use Subversion, so if migration were a future need, the technical issues should be minimal.

; Are binary and source downloads available from http://download.osgeo.org ?
: If not, why?

Yes, download and also svn-read access is provided via the MapFish-Website.

MapFish packages are distributed through a so-called Python Package
Index. We don't provide binaries, so we don't think
http://download.osgeo.org would be appropriate.

== Community Functioning ==

; Is there a functioning user support mechanisms (ie. mailing list)?
: indicate the available user support mechanisms, and whether they seem to be functioning well (are getting used and get answers).

There are two mailing-lists:
[MapFish-Users] 259 members (Oct. 2010)
[MapFish-Dev] 103 members (Oct. 2010)

There is a good operation on this list with a really fast response time

; Are source and binary downloads for the package available?
: yes/no (and any caveats)

Yes, both the sources and binaries are distributed.
For installation there is an installation script for download which makes install really easy to everybody.
There are also links for direct SVN-checkout and manuals for installing from source.

There are also brief manuals for installing the environment, getting MapFish running with Apache and so on.

; Has a Project Steering Committee been formed, and given control of the project?
: yes/no, indicate members and whether it has effective control.

Yes, the PSC was formed in 2009. There are 7 members, 5 were voted by the community and 2 were voted by the PSC afterwards.
Members are:
Eric Lemoine (Chair)
Bruno Binet
Yves Moisan
Julien-Samuel Lacroix
Till Adams
David Oesch
Cedric Moullet

; Does the Project Steering Committee have documentation on project procedures for PSC decisions, contributor guidelines, etc.
: yes/no - provide pointers to various related documents.

Yes. There is a "MapFish Project Steering Committee Process" outlined on the wiki (http://trac.mapfish.org/trac/mapfish/wiki/Community/PSC/Process).
In general the process is based on/derived from the OpenLayers, GDAL and Mapserver OsGeo Projects.

; How many active developers are there? Are they from multiple organizations?
: Indicate number and some organizations involved.

There are 11 committers, 8 from Camptocamp, 1 from Swisstopo, 1 from Sourcepole, 1 from Landcare Research.
We welcome contributions from others, and are open to grant commit access to other people.

''Note, for each of the following it isn't necessary to move to foundation infrastructure, but if you aren't a reason should be provided.''

; Has the projectname.osgeo.org domain been populated with the projects web presence?
: If not why, and has the project page got a prominent link to the real home?

There is "http://www.osgeo.org/mapfish"

The official URL is mapfish.org and there is a direct link from OsGeo-website to this site.

; Is the OSGeo bug tracker being used for the project?
: If not, why?

No, in the moment trac on the MapFish site is used. So if migration were a future need, the technical issues should be minimal.

; Is the OSGeo mailing list manager (http://lists.osgeo.org/) being used for the project?
: If not, why?

No. (s.a.)

; Is the OSGeo SVN being used for the project?
: If not, why?

No, but MapFish does use Subversion, so if migration were a future need, the technical issues should be minimal.

; Are binary and source downloads available from http://download.osgeo.org ?
: If not, why?

Yes, download and also svn-read access is provided via the MapFish-Website.

MapFish packages are distributed through a so-called Python Package
Index. We don't provide binaries, so we don't think
http://download.osgeo.org would be appropriate.

== Community Functioning ==

; Is there a functioning user support mechanisms (ie. mailing list)?
: indicate the available user support mechanisms, and whether they seem to be functioning well (are getting used and get answers).

There are two mailing-lists:
[MapFish-Users] 259 members (Oct. 2010)
[MapFish-Dev] 103 members (Oct. 2010)

There is a good operation on this list with a really fast response time

; Are source and binary downloads for the package available?
: yes/no (and any caveats)

Yes, both the sources and binaries are distributed.
For installation there is an installation script for download which makes install really easy to everybody.
There are also links for direct SVN-checkout and manuals for installing from source.

There are also brief manuals for installing the environment, getting MapFish running with Apache and so on.

; Has a Project Steering Committee been formed, and given control of the project?
: yes/no, indicate members and whether it has effective control.

Yes, the PSC was formed in 2009. There are 7 members, 5 were voted by the community and 2 were voted by the PSC afterwards.
Members are:
Eric Lemoine (Chair)
Bruno Binet
Yves Moisan
Julien-Samuel Lacroix
Till Adams
David Oesch
Cedric Moullet

; Does the Project Steering Committee have documentation on project procedures for PSC decisions, contributor guidelines, etc.
: yes/no - provide pointers to various related documents.

Yes. There is a "MapFish Project Steering Committee Process" outlined on the wiki (http://trac.mapfish.org/trac/mapfish/wiki/Community/PSC/Process).
In general the process is based on/derived from the OpenLayers, GDAL and Mapserver OsGeo Projects.

; How many active developers are there? Are they from multiple organizations?
: Indicate number and some organizations involved.

There are about 13 active developers, all from Camptocamp. [[http://trac.mapfish.org/trac/mapfish/wiki/Community/HowToContribute||SVN access]] is open to everybody wanting

== Foundation Membership ==

; Have project documents been updated to reflect membership in the foundation, and the relationship of the project to the foundation?
: If not, indicate when this will occur.

open

; Has an effort been made to brand the project web site with OSGeo foundation web styling and branding marks?
: If not, indicate what is planned. (''note: currently an OSGeo web style has not bee established'')

Not yet. We will wait for an OSGeo web style to be established before using this style.
[I googled around to find any information about this style, I do not know the exact status, but as it is still in the template, I guess
this is still the status]

== Code Copyright Review ==

; Has a [[Code Provenance Review]] document been prepared for the project?
: yes/no - point to review document.

open

; Have issues raised in the provenance review been adequately addressed?
: indicate outstanding issues.

open

; Are [[Commiter Responsibilities Guidelines]] covering legal issues in place?
: yes/no - point to the guidelines and indicate if it is adopted by PSC, and accepted by all commiters.

=== Workshops ===

Workshop classrooms come with native Windows XP computers. Required software will be installed on Windows XP and tested on mid July. Alternatively, an Open Source Virtual Machine can be provided.

{| class="wikitable"
! Room !! Code !! Title !! Software needs
|-
| B5.S101
|| W1
|| Web Mapping with GeoServer
|| You supply the laptops, we supply the software and data.
|-
| B5.S101
|| W8
|| Getting Started With MapServer
|| No additional material is required. Optional: bring your own datasets to load into your web mapping application. Intermediate/advance questions will be accommodated if time permits.
|-
| B5.S201
|| W2
|| gvSIG 1.9 user workshop
|| the workshop will run on the OSGeo LiveDVD so we suppose we don't need hard and soft additional.
|-
| B5.S201
|| W9
|| Quantum GIS and PostGIS: Solving Spatial Problems and Creating Web-Based Analysis Tools
|| "Quantum GIS v1.4.0 Enceladus" or newer, installed on workshop computers or available on the FOSS4G LiveDVD. Please use Windows "Standalone" version, not the "OSGeo4W" installer version. Internet access to the instructor's PostGIS and WMS/WFS server.
|-
| B5.S202
|| W3
|| Setting up an OpenStreetMap rendering toolchain
|| Hardware: One computer per person, plus overhead projector. Standard internet connection. Nothing out of the ordinary. Software: Already installed in the computers: PostGIS, Mapnik, Mapnik support scripts, Apache2 web server, and mod_tile. Computers *must* run Linux in order for Apache+mod_tile to work. Some other workshops may use PostGIS and Apache, so it should be coordinated. PHPPGAdmin would be a plus. Available somewhere in the workshop CDs: OpenLayers, plus some sets of geodata (global shorelines, plus a small excerpt of OpenStreetMap data). Total size of this data should be around or less than 100 MB. The workshop tutor will provide all materials prior to the workshop. All software in the computers should be tested beforehand, so it is desirable to have a disk image or install CD the tutor can try out ahead of time. Atendees should not bring anything special. All the needed software and data should be readily available in the computers, plus a CD (or pendrive, or similar device).
|-
| B5.S202
|| W10
|| FOSS4G routing with pgRouting tools, OpenStreetMap road data and GeoExt
|| -
|-
| C6.S302
|| W4
|| Introduction to PostGIS
|| Windows XP computers.
|-
| C6.S302
|| W11
|| Working with OpenLayers
|| Participants will complete exercises on a PC (any OS) that is running a web server (e.g. Apache). Participants will need to edit text files with an editor and view examples in a browser. The workshop also requires GeoServer and Postgres w/ PostGIS running. We can provide software and data to be installed in advance of the workshop. In previous workshops, GeoServer has been installed and running, PostGIS configured with workshop data, and Apache configured to proxy GeoServer on port 80 and provide an alias to the workshop document root. We can provide documentation on setting all this up and can help if workshop machines are available before the workshop date. So, requirements are - * PostGIS (configured with data) * GeoServer (running on port 8080 or other) * Apache (configured to proxy GeoServer on port 80 and with alias to workshop document root) * Text editor * Web browser (Firefox recommended).
|-
| C6.S306
|| W5
|| Introduction to the Mapbender Geoportal Framwework
|| The workshop will run completely on the Mapbender Portal provided by OSGeo, no software will be installed during the course all that is needed is a web terminal. Attendees who want to work with their own copy of the software should either install it on a server that is available via internet during the workshop or on their own notebook. To the experienced geoportal operator the installation is straight forward, all information can be found on the Mapbender web site http://www.mapbender.org. If you want to install you own copy but are new to either GIS, web technology, mapping, OGC standards or any combination thereof it is recommended to start the installation well in advance to the workshop as it involves a web server, database, PHP, Mapbender internet accessibility. You will get all the help that you need to set up the system and get it to run properly on the http://www.mapbender.org/index.php/Mapbender_Mailing_Lists.
|-
| C6.S306

|| GeoNetwork for dummies, or how to setup an SDI in 3 hours
|| None. CD-ROM and instructions will be brought by workshop organizer.
|-
| C6.S308

|| Linux or Windows machine with Python 2.5 or 2.6 installed. Linux is preferred.
|-
| C6.S308
|| W13
|| Geospatial for Java
|| Windows, any version of Java, Students will have choice of Eclipse or NetBeans IDE.
|-
| B5.S101
|| W7
|| Practical Introduction to ZOO, the Powerful WPS Platform
|| computer and ZOO-CD (ZOO-Binaries, GDAL/OGR library and dependencies).
|-
| B5.S101
|| W14
|| Practical Introduction to GRASS
|| For the workshop we need: - GRASS (one of the 6.4 series, 6.4.0RC5 is currently available); - the standard North Carolina GRASS demo data set, the "smaller simpler subset (47MB)" (http://grass.osgeo.org/sampledata/north_carolina/nc_basic_spm.tar.gz) is sufficient; - our HTML tutorial; - our PDF file containing the introductory slides for the workshop. The last years we used our own live DVDs, especially tailored for the Conferences (see for example the 2009 DVD here: http://www.ing.unitn.it/~grass/software/FOSS4G2009_GRASS_beginners_DVD.html), but we can provide our tutorial as a Debian and Ubuntu package, so that it can be included in the OSGEO Live DVD. Since this is a beginners' workshop, it is fundamental that GRASS' version in use matches the one used in the workshop material, so that all the details correspond. Therefore, if the OSGEO Live DVD is used we need to know which GRASS version will be included at least a month in advance, to review all the material. No special hardware is required, maps in the dataset are quite small, therefore a fairly modern Pc will do. No network connection is required, unless you want the attendees to download the tutorial and the dataset. It is possible to use attendees' laptop (some of the attendees have used their own Pc last year in Sydney), but we must be reasonably sure they have a working GRASS installation. Again, the GRASS version can be critical. Last year I have helped some of them to setup their machine via email before the workshop. The use of a live DVD on a Pc provided by the organization is probably the best choice for most of the attendees, since they are not required to setup GRASS before the workshop but they can take the DVD home and re-run the workshop. They can also use the DVD as an installer.

[[Category:FOSS4G2010]] [[Category:FOSS4G]] [[Category:Code Sprints]]
== Organizing Contacts ==

*Wladimir Szczerban, Enric Rodellas

== Code Sprint - what's that? ==

A code sprint is usually organized by a group that is using an open source project and wants to see something done. They fly the developers to a single location and feed them for a couple of days with the necessities of the hacking life (internet, caffeine, electricity). The communication that happens from face to face hacking usually lasts the project for a year or more. You see this a lot in projects like Drupal etc...

== Venue ==

For map and more details see

*Date: '''Friday, 10 Sep 2010''' (the day after the conference).
*Time: '''9am-5pm'''  ([http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?year=2010&month=9&day=10&hour=7&min=0&sec=0&p1=31 timeandate])

= Introduction =
During the [http://2010.foss4g.org/ FOSS4G2010 conference] in Barcelona, Spain, there will be conference rooms available for people to hold Breakout Sessions (aka Birds-of-a-Feather).

Breakout Sessions sessions are unstructured timeslots where people can self-organise themselves to discuss topics of interest.

This year, Breakout Sessions sessions will be held on Wednesday 8th September ('''and possibly at other times as well - depending on interest'''). A number of rooms will be available. Most popular sessions will get bigger rooms.

'''Room allocation to be determined'''

==Organising Contact==
* [[Tyler Mitchell]]
* [[Mauricio Miranda]]
* Other volunteers welcome - sign up here!

==Timeslots Available==

At this stage, each room is scheduled for one hour between 18:00 to 19:00.

= BOF sessions =

== FOSS4G in Government ==

To start the ball rolling, seeing that everyone else is sitting back
and waiting for everyone else: some potential discussion points:

* '''[http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/government_it/open_source.aspx The UK Government's policy on Open Source]''' It would be good to get a UK person to talk to this.
* How can governments exploit open source spatial:
* Implement based on Open Standards.
* The GeoNetwork example where we all need a Metadata entry tool and catalogue.
** We all don't want to pay for the same development, but share / pool resources.
** how do we coordinate this work, while working sensitively with Open Source communities who own the code base and may not want to go in the same direction that we do. This includes issues relating to working with Project Steering Committees etc.
** We can't expect communities to do our work for free. Therefore we will need to either engage our own people or consultancies to do the work. The consultancies could come from within the community from anywhere around the world, until we build up our own local communities. This could create procurement problems.
* The need for governments to engage with Open Source communities at all levels, not just as developers.
* The need to allow employees to participate within OS Communities as part of their day to day jobs: i.e. we need to build up our technical skills.
* The need to treat OS on a level playing field with proprietary solutions. That will mean looking at the Solution life cycle (See the new UK OS policy).
* Experiences in other countries:
** What is working.
** What is not working.
* Given national and international experiences of all, what models will work for Governments to break down the perceived barriers and myths associated with FOSS
* A plan worth considering / discussion is a proposal by the South Australian Government to implement an Australian '''[http://www.cio.sa.gov.au/business/projects/open-technology-foundation/?searchterm=otf Open Technology Foundation]'''which is currently before Australian Governments, selected ICT / Open Technology Vendors and Academia for in principle support.
** Would a foundation acting as the 'common glue' assist in these endeavours
** focus on openness to improve interoperability, independence, resilience and flexibility in ICT operations
** Authorative registry of open technologies in use in Governments around Australia with appropriate learnings and contacts
** Facilitate sharing of resources, technologies and knowledge
** Link with existing programs underway nationally and internationally to share information to all
** Link with international Open Technology Groups

Who is coming:
* Bruce Bannerman
* Stephen Schmid

== PostGIS Users Group ==

* How are you using PostGIS?
* Want a beer?
* What features would make your life better?
* Want to buy the developers a beer?
* More fruitful topics gratefully accepted!

Who is coming:
* Paul Ramsey

== Marketing Geospatial Open Source ==
* How can we collaboratively market OSGeo?
* What marketing works for Geospatial Open Source Businesses?
* What tools, messages, guidelines can we put in place which will help us individually and collectively?

Who is coming:
* Cameron Shorter
* Jose Diacono

== INSPIRE Data Profile Support in FOSS4G ==

We want to discuss an approach towards the upcoming INSPIRE data specifications and how to best support them in our open source software. It is important for the FOSS community to come up with a story that is more than just "Yes that is possible but contract us first".
This BOF is to seek feedback from those of you that see the same need and to investigate if some work has already been done, seek input in how we would best approach this, if there are options for a Europe wide collaboration on this etcetera.

Questions and/or points of discussions are:
* Considering that clients would like to see a product that does some of the INSPIRE data conversions out of the box, how do you approach this when usually we only implement things after they have been contracted? (in contrast to proprietary software where often an investment is made that is earned back through licensing schemes)
* Have any application schema's already been implemented in some form by you in GEOFOSS?
* What tools have you used or do you want to use (e.g. ogr, Talend, deegree, GeoServer)
* How would we go about joined development, or maybe even joined investment etcetera?

Who is coming:
* Jeroen Ticheler

== MapServer Users Meeting ==

* How are you using MapServer?
* Want to have a beer with the developers?
* What features would make your life better?
* More fruitful topics gratefully accepted!
* you can also follow along on IRC in #mapserver ([http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?year=2009&month=10&day=22&hour=5&min=15&sec=0 exact time])

Who is coming:
* [[User:Jmckenna | Jeff McKenna]]
* [[User:Dmorissette | Daniel Morissette]]

== GeoServer Users Meeting ==

* Meet the developers (yes, beer welcomed!)
* How are you using GeoServer?
* What will be the next GeoServer features? What are the features you're still missing in GeoServer?
* Anything else GeoServer related you want to talk about. Come and share!

Who is coming:
* [[User:aaime | Andrea Aime]]
* [[User:simboss | Simone Giannecchini]]

== Ingres Users Group ==

* Brief update: What is the current state of Ingres' new geospatial support
* Q & A, interactive discussion
* Roadmap/ planning/ community feedback & input

Who is coming:
* [[User:aross | Andrew Ross]]
* [[User:cthibert |Chuck Thibert]]

== Education and Curriculum Project ==

* meet, progress updates, future plans? (let's flesh this out)

Who is coming (initially populated based on mailing list responses - please add yourself if you're not here but you're coming):
* [[User:smitch | Scott Mitchell]]
* Vasile Craciunescu
* Venkatesh Raghavan
* Maria Brovelli

== OpenLayers ==

Come talk about OpenLayers. Ideas for the future, gripes about the library, raves about the library - all fair game!

== FOSS4G in Government ==

To start the ball rolling, seeing that everyone else is sitting back
and waiting for everyone else: some potential discussion points:

* '''[http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/government_it/open_source.aspx The UK Government's policy on Open Source]''' It would be good to get a UK person to talk to this.
* How can governments exploit open source spatial:
* Implement based on Open Standards.
* The GeoNetwork example where we all need a Metadata entry tool and catalogue.
** We all don't want to pay for the same development, but share / pool resources.
** how do we coordinate this work, while working sensitively with Open Source communities who own the code base and may not want to go in the same direction that we do. This includes issues relating to working with Project Steering Committees etc.
** We can't expect communities to do our work for free. Therefore we will need to either engage our own people or consultancies to do the work. The consultancies could come from within the community from anywhere around the world, until we build up our own local communities. This could create procurement problems.
* The need for governments to engage with Open Source communities at all levels, not just as developers.
* The need to allow employees to participate within OS Communities as part of their day to day jobs: i.e. we need to build up our technical skills.
* The need to treat OS on a level playing field with proprietary solutions. That will mean looking at the Solution life cycle (See the new UK OS policy).
* Experiences in other countries:
** What is working.
** What is not working.

== PostGIS Users Group ==

* How are you using PostGIS?
* Want a beer?
* What features would make your life better?
* Want to buy the developers a beer?
* More fruitful topics gratefully accepted!

Who is coming:
* Paul Ramsey

== Marketing Geospatial Open Source ==
* How can we collaboratively market OSGeo?
* What marketing works for Geospatial Open Source Businesses?
* What tools, messages, guidelines can we put in place which will help us individually and collectively?

Who is coming:
* Cameron Shorter
* Jose Diacono

== INSPIRE Data Profile Support in FOSS4G ==

We want to discuss an approach towards the upcoming INSPIRE data specifications and how to best support them in our open source software. It is important for the FOSS community to come up with a story that is more than just "Yes that is possible but contract us first".
This BOF is to seek feedback from those of you that see the same need and to investigate if some work has already been done, seek input in how we would best approach this, if there are options for a Europe wide collaboration on this etcetera.

Questions and/or points of discussions are:
* Considering that clients would like to see a product that does some of the INSPIRE data conversions out of the box, how do you approach this when usually we only implement things after they have been contracted? (in contrast to proprietary software where often an investment is made that is earned back through licensing schemes)
* Have any application schema's already been implemented in some form by you in GEOFOSS?
* What tools have you used or do you want to use (e.g. ogr, Talend, deegree, GeoServer)
* How would we go about joined development, or maybe even joined investment etcetera?

Who is coming:
* Jeroen Ticheler

== MapServer Users Meeting ==
