== Comunità GFOSS italiana ==
E' attualmente in corso un tentativo di proporre agli utenti di lingua italiana la creazione di un Local Chapter di Osgeo.
La discussione è sulla mailing list di GFOSS.it :
* La mailing list: http://www.faunalia.com/pipermail/gfoss/

Si invita le persone interessate ad aggiungersi alla lista alla voce [[#Gli interessati]].

==Gli interessati==
* Paolo Cavallini
* Lorenzo Becchi
* Stefano Costa
* Maria Antonia Brovelli
* Francesco P. Lovergine

== Guidelines ==
=== Chapter Roles ===

* Provide member networking opportunities for support and job opportunities - '''OK'''
* Software Internationalization and Localization - '''OK'''
* Development of prototype applications to demonstrate Open Source geospatial capabilities to local and regional audiences - '''OK'''
* Software Packaging and Customization for local and regional needs - '''OK''' ( GFOSS live CD)
* Training, Support and Development of e-Learning Contents in local languages - '''OK'''
* Support Open standards and Open access to geospatial data in region '''OK'''
* Promoting OSGeo and enhancing visibility in various forums

=== Chapter Responsibilities ===

* “OSGeo Chapter” officially represents OSGeo and is formally recognized as OSGeo Project.
* “OSGeo Chapter” must support the OSGeo Mission and Objectives of OSGeo.
* “OSGeo Chapter” must hold regular meetings (at least annual) and provide annual report of activities to chapter membership and OSGeo Board. '''OK'''
* “OSGeo Chapter” will not entail any financial commitment from or on-behalf of OSGeo. OSGeo will also not provide any budget assistance to the “OSGeo Chapter”.
* “OSGeo Chapter” is encouraged develop and maintain “Directory Listing” of companies, people, universities and organizations involved with or using OSGeo projects.
* “OSGeo Chapter” must strive at networking with organizations to enlist participation and support for OSGeo.
* OSGeo reserves the right to terminate its relation with an “OSGeo Chapter” if OSGeo has reasons to believe that the activities of the “OSGeo Chapter” are contrary or detrimental to the Mission and Objectives of OSGeo.

===Chapter Formation ===

In order to form a chapter, the following steps should be taken:
# "OSGeo Chapter" should self-organize (for instance in the OSGeo wiki, via OSGeo mailing list, etc), seeking to determine if a critical mass of interest exists to justify a chapter. - '''READY'''
# "OSGeo Chapter" should prepare a mission and objectives indicating the scope of the planned chapter (geographic or linquistic extent for instance). - '''READY''' (lang:it)
# “OSGeo Chapter” should propose an official representative to liaise with the OSGeo Board. If accepted by the board, the representative will be an officer of OSGeo. - '''TODO'''
# “OSGeo Chapter” should submit an official expression of interest to form a chapter to the OSGeo board, listing initial members, mission, representative and other supporting information. - '''TODO'''
# The OSGeo board shall then consider passing a motion forming the chapter, and designating the liason officer. - '''TODO'''

In considering the formation of new OSGeo chapters, the board will consider issues including:
* Does the mandate (geographically or linguistically) conflict with other existing chapters or chapters-in-formation? - '''NO'''
* Does the chapter appear to have sufficient interest to justify official formation? - '''YES'''
* Does the chapter appear to be open to broad membership, and representative of the target geographic or linguistic community? (eg. if a chapter had the objective to cover all Spanish speakers, it would be inappropriate if the only interest demonstrated was from one country) - '''YES'''

Distribution Special Interest Groups

Wiki-Frankie: Subversion should be considered

It has been proposed to create and promote a group of interest for distribution related issues. Main goals of this kind of initiative is raising the interest towards distributions (mainly GNU/Linux, but not limited to it) among upstream developers and create a stable and well-stated channel of communication between packagers and developers. Some aspects of distribution development and maintainance, as well as quality assurance practices are often quite obscure for many upstream developers indeed, but essential to ensure an easy approach to free GIS for naive or also advanced users.

Well known GNU/Linux distributions which have a GIS dedicated team are:

* [http://pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org/ Debian]
* [http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/UbuntuGIS Ubuntu]
* [http://www.geolivre.org.br/modules/mydownloads/ Geolivre Linux]

RPM-based distributions, such as Fedora Linux and SuSE Linux, do not have a dedicated GIS teams, but there are several parties maintaining independent RPM archives that could be persuaded to band their efforts together under the aegis of the foundation:

* [http://mappinghacks.com/rpm/ Mapping Hacks Fedora RPMs] -- maintained by SchuylerErle
* [ftp://intevation.de/freegis/fedora/ intevation.de Fedora RPMs]
* [http://postgis.refractions.net/rpms/ PostGIS RPMs for Fedora] from [http://www.refractions.net/ Refractions Research]
* [http://www.gdf-hannover.de/software Mandriva and SuSe RPMs] -- maintained by GDF Hannover

Unlike the Debian-GIS SIG, which already has mailing list / code repository infrastructure, the RPM-using community does not have such infrastructure and would benefit from hosting by OSGeo.

----

I (FrankW) propose we start two SIGs:

# A meta-packaging SIG with only a mailing list (perhaps metapkg@mail.osgeo.org) and this wiki space for discussion of packaging issues and ''upstream'' issues. It would be open to packages for all platforms including things like debian/rpm packaging, MacOSX, Win32 (FWTools, MS4W), bootable CD distributios.
# An rpm-packaging SIG with a mailing listat OSGeo, and CVS/SVN services hosted elsewhere (Intevation GForge?) since it won't be a formal OSGeo project for a while. This SIG would focus on producing RPMs for various packages, possibly focusing on Fedora Core initially.

I will create proper subpages for these shortly.

== Introduction to the Open Source Geospatial Foundation Wiki ==
This is the community Wiki of the [http://www.osgeo.org/ Open Source Geospatial Foundation]. Please refer to the official web site at http://www.osgeo.org/ for stable documents and policies. This Wiki is the place where documents can be created collaboratively (ie. adoption processes, user hints, suggestions, committee notes, etc.). All web pages that are adopted as official documents will be moved to a CVS or SVN and subsequently appear at the [http://www.osgeo.org/ OSGeo] web site, which is the only official place for documents.
