2016 Topic Talk - become INSPIRE'd by OSGeo

2016-08-15T11:37:15Z

Wiki-GregersP:

== Topic talk: become INSPIRE'd by OSGeo ==
If you will join, please put your name on the wiki:

* Robin Smith
* [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:Dirkf Dirk Frigne]
*[https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:Stevenfeldman Steven Feldman]
* [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Kari_Salovaara Kari Salovaara]
* [[User:Jachym|Jachym Cepicky]]
* Simon Jirka
* [[User:GregersP|Gregers Petersen]]
* put your name here

== Context: ==
The INSPIRE Directive is a major European policy helping public sector organisations to share geospatial data (about the environment but also other sectors) in coordinated and standardised ways as part of the creation of a European Spatial Data Infrastructure. INSPIRE is helping to focus collaboration efforts to create the infrastructure. Without software data cannot be shared online or consumed for use in a range of applications based on a range of tools and basic infrastructure components. 

For the last four years, the [https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/community/are3na/description ARE3NA project] has been working with stakeholders to identify existing tools and building open source solutions that can help organisations implement and use INSPIRE. The project has recently set up a collaborative platform to help illustrate INSPIRE in practice. Following prototyping and testing, the coming months now focus on promotion and further engagement with different stakeholders who can now share and promote their examples through the platform. One key group are the software/solution providers who have tools that can help people implement INSPIRE or use its data and services. Similarly, the platform helps INSPIRE implementers to show how they are using tools in practice for a range of INSPIRE implementation tasks and for others to learn what steps can be taken to implement INSPIRE in practice. In addition, application developers can showcase their end-user web applications and mobile apps based on Spatial Data Infrastructures, with a special focus on those emerging applications being built on INSPIRE. 

Today, already a lot of OSGeo software is used in an INSPIRE context. During the session we want to investigate how we can strengthen the relationship even more by identifying how OSGeo solutions can be improved to make life easier for those working on INSPIRE solutions and infrastructures. 

== The opportunity ==
The session is an opportunity to explore the current and future potential of this important resource in Europe, where ARE3NA will be launching a game to help solution providers, implementers and application developers easily provide content in a series of simple steps. 

The session will also help to discuss how INSPIRE, as a whole, is an opportunity for the European FOSS community, bringing benefits and opportunities to government, business and research, as well as citizens. 

== Call to action: ==
As INSPIRE is a relevant example of a Spatial Data Infrastructure, embedding it in an open source context makes sense and could be an opportunity for the OSGeo community to embrace it fully. 

== Target audience: ==
We, therefore, would encourage all developers of different OSGeo projects who are both familiar or new to INSPIRE to join our discussion, as well as small business owners interested in providing services for the emerging INSPIRE market and those in research who would like to make use of official and harmonised data sources from across Europe.

OSGeo Advocate

2015-08-26T10:37:59Z

Wiki-GregersP: /* Europe:Denmark */

__FORCETOC__

= Introduction =

OSGeo Advocates are authoritative OSGeo personalities who have volunteered to talk on behalf of the [http://osgeo.org OSGeo foundation]. Advocates should be able to speak well, even better if they are entertaining.

There are hundreds, if not thousands of conferences around the world which have an interest in seeing presentations from authoritative speakers, with deep insights into topics related to Open Source Geospatial Software. Luckily, OSGeo is fortunate to draw extensive membership from around the world, and has access to such authoritative figures within most countries.

= Process for becoming an OSGeo Advocate =

Anyone fitting one of the [[OSGeo_Advocate#Understanding_OSGeo_roles|OSGeo Advocate categories]], may put themselves forward as an OSGeo Advocate. To do so, you will need to:
* Create an OSGeo wiki account, to edit this wiki (See "login" link in top right of this page).
* Add a portrait photo of yourself using the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:Upload Upload file] link in left margin in each page.
* Create a new wiki page http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:YourOSGeoWikiUserName, and populate as per [[User:Template]], (copy and paste from the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=User:Template&action=edit source] so that you see comments in the template).
* You can then add your profile on [[OSGeo_Advocate#OSGeo_Advocates|this wiki page]], under your Region:Country, names ordered alphabetically by First name, using the following:
{{User:<YourOSGeoWikiUserName>}}

= Annual Refresh of Advocate list =
* The list of OSGeo Advocates will be refreshed annually, after the annual voting of OSGeo Charter Members. This will be achieved by removing lapsed Advocates, then moving all Current Advocates into the Past Advocate section. All Advocates will be invited to update their profile, and move their profile back into the current Advocates section.

= Understanding OSGeo roles =

Below is an explanation of roles which Advocates might have been involved in as part of OSGeo:

====[[File:OSGeo_board.png]] [[File:OSGeo_exboard.png]] OSGeo Board Members====
: We only have 9 active OSGeo board members in the world, which have been peer selected based upon their outstanding leadership in the greater OSGeo community.

====[[File:OSGeo_charter.png]] OSGeo Charter Members====
: Charter membership is obtained through a strongly contested selection process. Members tend to be developers and leaders in one or more OSGeo projects, and/or OSGeo business leaders, and have a deep understanding in many of the OSGeo projects and principles of Open Source.

==== [[File:SolKatz.png]] Sol Katz Award ====
: Every year, OSGeo presents the prestigious [http://www.osgeo.org/solkatz Sol Katz Award] to one individual who has demonstrated leadership and contributed significantly to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm.

====[[File:OSGeo_chair.png]] [[File:OSGeo_psc.png]] Voted position in an OSGeo community====
: These people hold a position of responsibility within one of the OSGeo sub-communities. This may be a chair of an OSGeo committee or board member of a Regional Chapter, or a member of a project's Project Steering Committee (PSC).

====[[File:OSGeo_coder.png]] [[File:OSGeo_committee.png]] Developers and Committee Members====
: This is where the real work gets done developing and coordinating development of OSGeo Software.

====[[File:OSGeo_user.png]] OSGeo Community Members====
: These people are actively involved in one or more OSGeo communities, acting as practitioners, users, promoters or supporters of OSGeo software. These people tend to have a practical understanding about how OSGeo software works.

====[[File:OSGeo_translate.png]] OSGeo Translators====
: These people have translated documentation for OSGeo-Live, and/or OSGeo projects. They usually have an established understanding of OSGeo topics and can present them in local languages.

= Expenses =

This OSGeo Advocate list has been designed to help event organisors find local authoritative speakers. Events wishing to import keynote speakers should anticipate covering expenses of these speakers. Note that OSGeo is a volunteer driven organisation without paid positions of authority and OSGeo doesn't budget to cover travel expenses. Note also that unlike proprietary companies, a company promoting Open Source software don't earn license fees when a delegate is convinced to start using the free software.

When budgeting for keynote speakers expect to cover the following expenses:
* Travel, typically including:
** airfare
** visa
** travel insurance (including overseas medical, trip disruption, lost luggage, etc)
** meals during travel
** transit costs to local and host airports
* Accommodation
** standard 3 or 4 star hotel within walking distance of the event
** high speed internet
* Per diem costs
** 3 meals a day
* Speakers fee
** typically $US 1000 per day. (Note that OSGeo volunteer speakers usually have a full time job and will be loosing wages for the duration of the event)

For a rough guide of travel costs refer to the [http://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp US Department of State costs]

Individual speakers may waive any of these costs if attracted to the event for other reasons, and final costs are to be negotiated with the selected speaker.
