&lt;div&gt;===== Welcome to the Second Irish OSGeo Symposium 2018 =====&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:ieosgeowiki.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
===== THIS EVENT IS OVER - THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED - SEE YOU IN 2019 =====&lt;br /&gt;
===Our Symposium=== &lt;br /&gt;
The Irish Local Chapter of OSGeo are delighted to announce the hosting of the Second National Symposium in '''[https://www.midlandsparkhotel.com/ Portlaoise, Ireland] on Friday, 25th May 2018.''' We, the organisers, welcome all delegates to our second meeting as an OSGeo community in Ireland. Portlaoise is very centrally located in the midlands of Ireland. It is very well served by [https://getthere.ie/ frequent public transportation]. This symposium follows on from our [[Ireland/Symposium2017|very successful inaugural symposium]] last year in Limerick. The Midlands Park Hotel is very centrally located within Portlaoise town. It is less than 400m walking distance from [https://maps.openrouteservice.org/directions?n1=53.035659&amp;amp;n2=-7.302475&amp;amp;n3=17&amp;amp;a=53.036639,-7.301263,53.035059,-7.302099&amp;amp;b=2&amp;amp;c=0&amp;amp;g1=-1&amp;amp;g2=0&amp;amp;k1=en-US&amp;amp;k2=km the railway station] and just less than 500m walking distance from [https://maps.openrouteservice.org/directions?n1=53.034052&amp;amp;n2=-7.2999&amp;amp;n3=17&amp;amp;a=53.033033,-7.297744,53.035091,-7.302067&amp;amp;b=2&amp;amp;c=0&amp;amp;g1=-1&amp;amp;g2=0&amp;amp;k1=en-US&amp;amp;k2=km the main bus station/stop] in the town. The hotel and adjacent car-park [https://maps.openrouteservice.org/directions?n1=53.024713&amp;amp;n2=-7.301292&amp;amp;n3=15&amp;amp;a=53.014331,-7.303419,53.03502,-7.302046&amp;amp;b=0&amp;amp;c=0&amp;amp;k1=en-US&amp;amp;k2=km is less than 2 miles in driving distance] from the M7 motorway exit at the Midway Hotel. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The event is open to anyone.''' However it will be particular interest to individuals or groups such as: those with an interest in [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G FOSS4G], users of open source software and FOSS4G, geographers and geoscientists, computer scientists, software developers and programmers, software companies, open data users, data scientists, researchers, government agencies, SMEs, NGOs, students, citizens, etc. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The symposium will provide a relaxed and stimulating environment to learn about OSGeo, meet people with similar interest in OSGeo and FOSS4G, and learn new skills in the workshops. There are lots of people using OSGeo software and tools in Ireland and this symposium will allow them to meet and re-connect as a community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The Symposium will feature a Keynote speech by Dr. Marco Minghini''' ([https://twitter.com/@MarcoMinghini Twitter]). Marco is a [http://geolab.como.polimi.it/ Researcher] at the Politecnico di Milano, Italy, an [https://www.osgeo.org/about/membership-rules/ OSGeo Charter Member], a  [https://www.hotosm.org/voting-members voting member] of the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team amongst many other activities related to OSGeo, FOSS4G and Open Data. He has published widely in peer-reviewed journal papers, organised mapathons, datathons and mapping parties and delivered presentations at conferences all over the world. We are delighted to welcome Marco to Portlaoise and Ireland for what will be a excellent keynote speech. Marco will spend the day at the symposium after his speech. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The afternoon of the symposium will feature a number of hands-on workshops in the afternoon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Follow OSGeo IE on Twitter''' - we'll be using Twitter for the 2018 event. https://twitter.com/osgeoie&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS - Lightning Talks [CLOSED]===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In February 2018 we announced the official call for participation in this event.To accommodate as many presentations as possible whilst showcasing a wide and varied selection of FOSS4G and OSGeo usage and applications in Ireland the presentation format is structured as lightning talks. Lightning talks will be structured as follows. They are strictly limited to 7 minutes. Each speaker in the session delivers their presentation and the next speaker then takes over. Questions from the floor are taken at the end of the session. This format was very popular in our first event. We responded to delegate feedback from our 2017 event and expanded the number of lightning talk slots available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The presentations, as outlined below, focus on the use of FOSS4G and OSGeo applications and software by large companies, SMEs, individuals, national and local government, academia (students, researchers, academics), volunteer communities, citizen scientists, etc who are based in Ireland. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== EVENT REGISTRATION ===&lt;br /&gt;
Registration IS NOW OPEN. Registration (ticket purchase) is available on [https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/osgeo-ireland-2nd-national-symposium-2018-tickets-42460715142 EventBrite] on [https://twitter.com/osgeoie Twitter], on the [https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/ireland/ OSGeo Ireland mailing list] and on the [https://www.osgeo.org/events/irish-osgeo-symposium-2018/ OSGeo Events page]. The standard registration price of €60.00 will apply up to the day of the event. Workshop attendance is included in the registration fee. &lt;br /&gt;
'''Indeed we believe that our registration fees provide you with excellent value for money.''' All of the following are included in your registration fee: &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In the lead up to the event you will receive a small number of emails giving you the latest news and information about the event. You will also be given the opportunity to outline your choice/preference of workshop attendance. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== PROGRAMME TIMETABLE ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is the current version of the programme timetable. While some of the timings might change very slightly during the day the symposium will start at 09:00 and conclude at 16:45. This will allow all delegates to plan their travel to and from the event. All of the symposium sessions and workshops will be held within the conference facilities of the Midlands Park Hotel. The details of the specific rooms will be outlined before the event. All rooms are close to each other within the building to allow easy movement and interaction between the workshops and the main symposium track. &lt;br /&gt;

It is less than 400m walking distance from [https://maps.openrouteservice.org/directions?n1=53.035659&amp;amp;n2=-7.302475&amp;amp;n3=17&amp;amp;a=53.036639,-7.301263,53.035059,-7.302099&amp;amp;b=2&amp;amp;c=0&amp;amp;g1=-1&amp;amp;g2=0&amp;amp;k1=en-US&amp;amp;k2=km the railway station] and just less than 500m walking distance from [https://maps.openrouteservice.org/directions?n1=53.034052&amp;amp;n2=-7.2999&amp;amp;n3=17&amp;amp;a=53.033033,-7.297744,53.035091,-7.302067&amp;amp;b=2&amp;amp;c=0&amp;amp;g1=-1&amp;amp;g2=0&amp;amp;k1=en-US&amp;amp;k2=km the main bus station/stop] in the town. The hotel and adjacent car-park [https://maps.openrouteservice.org/directions?n1=53.024713&amp;amp;n2=-7.301292&amp;amp;n3=15&amp;amp;a=53.014331,-7.303419,53.03502,-7.302046&amp;amp;b=0&amp;amp;c=0&amp;amp;k1=en-US&amp;amp;k2=km is less than 2 miles in driving distance] from the M7 motorway exit at the Midway Hotel. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The event is open to anyone.''' However it will be particular interest to individuals or groups such as: those with an interest in [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G FOSS4G], users of open source software and FOSS4G, geographers and geoscientists, computer scientists, software developers and programmers, software companies, open data users, data scientists, researchers, government agencies, SMEs, NGOs, students, citizens, etc. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The symposium will provide a relaxed and stimulating environment to learn about OSGeo, meet people with similar interest in OSGeo and FOSS4G, and learn new skills in the workshops. There are lots of people using OSGeo software and tools in Ireland and this symposium will allow them to meet and re-connect as a community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The Symposium will feature a Keynote speech by Dr. Marco Minghini''' ([https://twitter.com/@MarcoMinghini Twitter]). Marco is a [http://geolab.como.polimi.it/ Researcher] at the Politecnico di Milano, Italy, an [https://www.osgeo.org/about/membership-rules/ OSGeo Charter Member], a  [https://www.hotosm.org/voting-members voting member] of the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team amongst many other activities related to OSGeo, FOSS4G and Open Data. He has published widely in peer-reviewed journal papers, organised mapathons, datathons and mapping parties and delivered presentations at conferences all over the world. We are delighted to welcome Marco to Portlaoise and Ireland for what will be a excellent keynote speech. Marco will spend the day at the symposium after his speech. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The afternoon of the symposium will feature a number of hands-on workshops in the afternoon. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS - Lightning Talks [CLOSED]===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In February 2018 we announced the official call for participation in this event.To accommodate as many presentations as possible whilst showcasing a wide and varied selection of FOSS4G and OSGeo usage and applications in Ireland the presentation format is structured as lightning talks. Lightning talks will be structured as follows. They are strictly limited to 7 minutes. Each speaker in the session delivers their presentation and the next speaker then takes over. Questions from the floor are taken at the end of the session. This format was very popular in our first event. We responded to delegate feedback from our 2017 event and expanded the number of lightning talk slots available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The presentations, as outlined below, focus on the use of FOSS4G and OSGeo applications and software by large companies, SMEs, individuals, national and local government, academia (students, researchers, academics), volunteer communities, citizen scientists, etc who are based in Ireland. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== PROGRAMME TIMETABLE ===&lt;br /&gt;
This is the current version of the programme timetable. While some of the timings might change very slightly during the day the symposium will start at 09:00 and conclude at 16:45. This will allow all delegates to plan their travel to and from the event. All of the symposium sessions and workshops will be held within the conference facilities of the Midlands Park Hotel. The details of the specific rooms will be outlined before the event. All rooms are close to each other within the building to allow easy movement and interaction between the workshops and the main symposium track. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Birds Of A Feather (BoF) ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BoF sessions are informal gatherings of people around a specific topic. BoF's can be held in BoF rooms, the BoF lounge, or can be taken off site for lunch or dinner. FOSS4G will provide space, but the programming of events should be done informally through the community using the wiki and the on site BoF board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BoF sessions rooms will be available through regular session times. There Are two rooms setup theater style without AV that are available. There will also be a lounge available on the trade floor to gather small groups. We will put a BoF organizing board next to the lounge for on site organization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The community wiki page is:  [[FOSS4G 2017 BirdsOfAFeather]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;= Call for venue =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FOSS4G-Europe conference committee invites all interested groups from Europe to ''Call for venue''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The proposals shall be submitted by '''2017-09-30''' to [https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/conference-europe Conference-europe mailing list].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Parameters of the propsal ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Expect around 400-500 attendees (sofar, the number was between 100+ at FOSS4G-CEE 2012, Prague, to 400 people FOSS4G-Europe, Como). We do not set any upper limit to attendees number - this lies solely at LOC. &lt;br /&gt;
* The growing number of participants is not the main scope of the event. We rather prefer modest costs for attendees, therefore co-organising the event with universities might be of good way, how to ''keep the costs lower''.&lt;br /&gt;
* Cooperation with universities of course implies careful selection of conference date, which is usually, but not necessary, in the holiday season.&lt;br /&gt;
* Although the policy in Europe has changed, we still advice you to make sure, that the venue is covered with stable and relayable WIFI connectivity.&lt;br /&gt;
* Communication language is English&lt;br /&gt;
* Last FOSS4G-Europe was 3 days conference, with 4 parallel sessions, each talk was arranged for 30 minutes (including discussions)&lt;br /&gt;
* Please consider also, that workshops are part of the conference, you shall organize rooms, ideally with computers. The workshops can provide both 4-hours and 8-hours slots.&lt;br /&gt;
* You should provide also several rooms during the conference, for BOF meetings&lt;br /&gt;
* Usually Code Sprint events are part of the conference - it is preferred, if you could arrange rooms at least after or before the conference itself (about 1-2 days), if you could cover both time frames, it would be appreciated.&lt;br /&gt;
* Please, refer [[FOSS4G_Manifesto#FOSS4G_Europe_Manifesto|FOSS4G-Europe Manifesto]] for further details&lt;br /&gt;
* There also is [[FOSS4G_Handbook|FOSS4G Handbook]] you might see useful&lt;br /&gt;
* We believe, students are our future - please take significant discount for students into your budget proposal&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Position of the Local organisation committee to OSGeo and Conference committee Europe ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The [[Conference-Europe#Committee|FOSS4G-Europe Conference committee]] will, after the selection process, &amp;quot;kindly ask&amp;quot; the best venue offer, to host FOSS4G-Europe on behalf of OSGeo-European chapter (in formation)&lt;br /&gt;
* There is possibility to negotiate with OSGeo.org for the seeding money for necessary spending under the condition, that the LOC will guarantee at least balanced budget during the final countings. The seeding money shall be negotiated with OSGeo Board of directors&lt;br /&gt;
* Program committee shall be delegated from nominees from LOC as well as OSGeo on mutual understanding manner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Dates ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(might be adjusted during the time)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
! Item !! Date&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Start and end of proposal submission. Proposals shall be sent to Conference-Europe mailing list || '''2017-08-01 - 2017-09-30'''&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Selection period. Proposals will be evaluated by FOSS4G-Europe Conference committee || 2017-09-30 - 2017-10-07&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Venue announcement (At FOSS4G-Europe) || '''2017-10-07'''&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Call for papers and workshops || 2017-12 - 2018-04&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Papers and workshops selection period || 2018-04 - 2018-05&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| Conference and accompanying events || ?2018-06 - 2018-07?&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Note on Seeding money ==&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Conference_Committee|OSGeo Conference Committee]] along with [[Board_of_Directors|OSGeo Board]] can provide LOC with ''seeding money'' necessary for the start&lt;br /&gt;
* LOC needs to guarantee, that after final books closing, the seeding money will be returned back to OSGeo&lt;br /&gt;
* It is fair to ask for the seeding money and we encourage LOC to do so - with proper reasoning and proposed budget. But the final decision lies solely at the Board. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This initiative is led by Suchith Anand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In September 2011, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) and the International Cartographic Association (ICA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the aim of developing on a global basis collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data. The MoU aims to provide expertise and support for the establishment of Open Source Geospatial Laboratories across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software, open data, open standards training and expertise. ISPRS joined this initiative in 2014. The motto of Geo for All Lab initiative is &amp;quot;Geo For All&amp;quot;.Central to &amp;quot;Geo for All&amp;quot; mission is the belief that knowledge is a public good and Open Principles in Education will provide great opportunities for everyone.  Details at [[MOU_ICA]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All interested organisations must be committed to contribute to the vision outlined in the Geo for All MoU http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in free and open source GIS software , FOSS, open data , open access (publications) and contribute to open education in the future. All participants should contribute to Education, Research and Service for the betterment of humanity as the key guiding principle and work towards the vision of the UN Millennium Development Goals  http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ for building a better world.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Email the regonial mailing lists and contact the region chairs to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process. The full criteria at http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoforall_criteria&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Key requirements for  joining the &amp;quot;Geo for All Labs&amp;quot; initiative ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(A) Your local organisation MUST BE COMMITTED TO CONTRIBUTE to the vision outlined in the Geo for All MoU [1]http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in free and open source GIS software , FOSS, open data , open access (publications) and contribute to open education in the future. All participants should contribute to Education, Research and Service for the benefit and betterment of humanity as the key guiding principle and work towards the vision of the UN Millennium Development Goals [2] http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ for building a better world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(B) At least one person at your institution or organization should have strong knowledge in geospatial information science and vision to lead this activity and to build a team of people, locally. This person should act as a liaison officer to the initiative.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(C) There should be a website established for your Open Source Geospatial Laboratory listing current research, people, and training information. This web presence will allow other nodes in the network and the general public to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches. The website should be established within a year of the lab announcement and has to be maintained at least annually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(D) GEO4ALL MAKES A COMMITMENT TO promote the initiative widely through OSGeo, ICA and ISPRS channels to help build up collaboration opportunities for the future. We will also do a joint press release to announce the initiative and start building collaborations. A primary collaborative initiative continues to be the creation and maintenance of shared open access educational resources and/or active participation in the open source software and data development. We will also add the information of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open Education is the simple and powerful idea that the world’s knowledge is a public good and that technology in general and the Worldwide Web in particular provide an extraordinary opportunity for everyone to share, use, and reuse knowledge. Open educational resources (OERs) are free and openly licensed educational materials that can be used for teaching and learning. Open educational resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;
We especially welcome applications from universities, educational institutes, government organisations in developing countries to help develop capacity building in geospatial education by establishing Open Source Geo Labs and support Open Education initiatives worldwide.&lt;br /&gt;

===2) Continue to expand the &amp;quot;Geo for All&amp;quot; initiative ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This initiative is led by Suchith Anand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In September 2011, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) and the International Cartographic Association (ICA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the aim of developing on a global basis collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data. The MoU aims to provide expertise and support for the establishment of Open Source Geospatial Laboratories across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software, open data, open standards training and expertise. ISPRS joined this initiative in 2014. The motto of ICA-OSGeo Lab initiative is &amp;quot;Geo For All&amp;quot;.Central to &amp;quot;Geo for All&amp;quot; mission is the belief that knowledge is a public good and Open Principles in Education will provide great opportunities for everyone.  Details at [[MOU_ICA]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Email the regonial mailing lists and contact the region chairs to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process. The full criteria at http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoforall_criteria&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Key requirements for  joining the &amp;quot;ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS Labs&amp;quot; initiative ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(A) Your local organisation MUST BE COMMITTED TO CONTRIBUTE to the vision outlined in the ICA-OSGeo MoU [1]http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in free and open source GIS software , FOSS, open data , open access (publications) and contribute to open education in the future. All participants should contribute to Education, Research and Service for the benefit and betterment of humanity as the key guiding principle and work towards the vision of the UN Millennium Development Goals [2] http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ for building a better world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(B) At least one person at your institution or organization should have strong knowledge in geospatial information science and vision to lead this activity and to build a team of people, locally. This person should act as a liaison officer to the initiative.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(C) There should be a website established for your Open Source Geospatial Laboratory listing current research, people, and training information. This web presence will allow other nodes in the network and the general public to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches. The website should be established within a year of the lab announcement and has to be maintained at least annually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(D) GEO4ALL MAKES A COMMITMENT TO promote the initiative widely through OSGeo, ICA and ISPRS channels to help build up collaboration opportunities for the future. We will also do a joint press release to announce the initiative and start building collaborations. A primary collaborative initiative continues to be the creation and maintenance of shared open access educational resources and/or active participation in the open source software and data development. We will also add the information of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open Education is the simple and powerful idea that the world’s knowledge is a public good and that technology in general and the Worldwide Web in particular provide an extraordinary opportunity for everyone to share, use, and reuse knowledge. Open educational resources (OERs) are free and openly licensed educational materials that can be used for teaching and learning. Open educational resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;
We especially welcome applications from universities, educational institutes, government organisations in developing countries to help develop capacity building in geospatial education by establishing Open Source Geo Labs and support Open Education initiatives worldwide.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;= OSGeo Seal Design Contest =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OSGeo just turned 10 and as a gift to ourselves, we would like to invite the artistic minds in our community to develop the official [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Company_seal seal] for our foundation (in line with [http://www.osgeo.org/content/foundation/incorporation/bylaws.html our bylaws]). &lt;br /&gt;
This seal will be used on official documents, such as the student award certificates at FOSS4G Events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyone may submit artwork. We are looking for the best, so spread the word to your family and friends.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/gallery&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Submission 1===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I propose that the existing OSGeo Compass (or one of the existing variants) be considered as the OSGeo Seal. My reasoning is that our existing logo is good, works well as a seal, and is consistent with OSGeo's branding with helps retain a recognisable image leading to strong branding. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As I've done no work creating this image, I'm taking myself out of the running for accepting any awards. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cameron Shorter &amp;lt;c amer o n.sho r terA Tgm ai lcom&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Submission 2===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I propose to use the compass but add our foundation name as well. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want to edit this one, you can get if from https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/42637169/OSGeo_seal.svg&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since I'm involved in running this contest, I'm taking myself out of the running for accepting any awards. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:Anitagraser|Anita Graser]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Submission 3 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think Anita's submission is great, but I don't like the interruption between the 'O' and the 'S' of 'OSGeo', so I propose a small modification to Anita's submission. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since I just did a little modification to an existing proposal, that took me just 5 minutes, I do not want to be considered for any awards too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can find the SVG version from here: https://oc.cwillmes.de/index.php/s/eGUlRqCbsPaKOXf&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:Cwillmes|Christian Willmes]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Submission 4 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another submission made out of the official OSGeo vector logo and the bold Bitstream Vera Font (available from [http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/ttf-bitstream-vera/1.10/ GNOME] and BitStream Inc.). The regular 'Roman' BitStream Vera font could also be used instead, but i think the final device would then produce too superficial stamps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SVG, PDF and PNG versions are available from [http://cartogenic.com/OSGeo-seal/ here]. Please hover the black stamp image to get an overview of what it would look like when marked down using real ink.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:Nbozon|Nicolas Bozon]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Submission 5 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Designed by the creator of the [http://www.geoforall.org/resources/images/geoforallC.png GeoForAll logo], this version of the seal is again made out of the official OSGeo vector logo but it introduces a new graphical element around the small central compass, which recalls what OSGeo is: a community of people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SVG, PDF and PNG versions can be downloaded from [http://geomobile.como.polimi.it/seal_Silvia_Guerini.zip here].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;'''Welcome to the GeoForAll GeoCrowd'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today citizens, acting in groups or as individuals, are generating vast volumes of geographic data and information. Citizens now have the ability to actively or passively embedded or link a geographical coordinate, object or area to digitally generated content from their smartphones, social media, sensors such as cameras or GPS, sensor networks, software embedded in devices and the Internet of things. How can we take advantage, in a sustainable and efficient manner, of these oceans of geographic data and information? Free and Open Source Software For Geoinformatics (FOSS4G) can provide citizens, scientists, policy makers and industry with a means of generating, collecting, analysing, visualising and managing these data streams. The possibilities are only limited by our imagination.  Research into how to take advantage of this deluge of data can make a significant contribution to our society paving the way for a more sustainable future in a natural environment protected and enhanced for this generation and those yet to come. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are three principal methodologies which best describe this current situation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI):''' Including the famous examples of OpenStreetMap, WikiMapia, Google Mapmaker, Geograph project, etc and then many smaller less well known examples. The citizen or the group of citizens are actively and physically involved in the task of data collection, data generation, data management, etc. &lt;br /&gt;
*'''Passive, Ambient, Involunteered Geographic Information, Geocrowdsourcing :''' This includes systems and services where the citizen or a group are not actively or physically involved in the task of generating, collecting, managing geographical data. This includes geocoded tweets in Twitter, georeferenced images in Instagram, geolocated social media and media content. This can also include data and information generated by 'sensors' carried by citizens such as GPS-enabled smartphone technologies, wearable devices, etc. This geocoded or georeferenced online content can then be harvested or analysed by scientists, industry and others. &lt;br /&gt;
*'''Citizen Science:''' This is where citizens or groups of citizens are involved in scientific research usually with authoritative scientific organisations. There is usually a scientific question or task involved as the driver to this interaction. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The GeoForAll GeoCrowd central theme is: Using FOSS4G how can these three conceptually similar methodologies be optimally exploited by researchers and scientists in order to reuse and repurpose geographic data for sustainable development, environmental protection, education, etc? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''In summary the GeoForAll GeoCrowd theme is:''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Chaired by: Peter Mooney (Ireland) and Maria A Brovelli (Italy)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* How do I become involved? Anyone interested in being part of this theme, subscribe here  http://lists.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geoforall-GeoCrowd. Your participation is appreciated and needed! All ideas are welcome. All material posted will be helpful.

## Full Professor of GIS - Politecnico di Milano Italy&lt;br /&gt;
## VGI, Geocrowdsourcing and Citizen Science are themes I have been interested in and working on since many years. I strongly believe that while in the past cartographers and geographers helped in discovering new worlds, now our challenge is to rediscover our common world with new augmented eyes of environmental-social-economic equity, sustainability and participation. On this purpose the synergy people-FOSS4G plays a vital role.&lt;br /&gt;

=== 8-10. June 2015 FOSS4G India 2015, IIRS Dehradun, India ===&lt;br /&gt;
OSGeo-India tweaked the Live DVD to also contain the Digital Proceedings of the Conference (full papers and abstracts) and it was made available to all the Participants. My humble self mentioned in my inaugural presentation that the essence of all OSGeo and OS-GIS software are tucked into the live DVD. It was also emphasised that the Live-DVD is a way of seeing all the software run on one's computer / Laptop without soiling it by booting with it. Use of Virtual Machine on certain operating systems, which are not boot-friendly to the Live-DVD was also mentioned. As usual the conference acknowledges the untiring effort by live.osgeo.org (http://live.osgeo.org/en/index.html) who keep the DVD afresh with all latest OS-GIS. https://plus.google.com/114935751871526846208/posts/iXhdxwaePux&lt;br /&gt;

* 31 January &amp;amp; 1 February 2015&lt;br /&gt;
* Presentation: From Debian-GIS to OSGeo live and back&lt;br /&gt;
* Description: Debian GIS is a project with the goal of making Debian the best distribution for Geographical Information System applications.&lt;br /&gt;
OSGeo live (live.osgeo.org) is a self-contained bootable dvd, usb thumb drive or virtual machine based on Lubuntu, that allows you to try a wide variety of open source geospatial software without installing anything. It also contains a set of uniform documentation (description and quickstarts) to guide people around the different projects.&lt;br /&gt;
Even though OSGeo live is based on the packages in Debian, both projects diverted and where OSGeo live managed to get a large (100+) community of contributors, progress in Debian GIS was stalling. Recently however, a new wind is blowing in Debian GIS (among others with the Debian pure blends initiative) and many changes from OSGeo live are being incorporated back into Debian.&lt;br /&gt;
Apart from presenting both projects I will highlight some problems people encounter when they would like to add their package to Debian GIS, and how Debian pure blends try to solve this.&lt;br /&gt;

=== 8-10. June 2015 FOSS4G India 2015, IIRS Dehradun, India ===&lt;br /&gt;
OSGeo-India tweaked the Live DVD to also contain the Digital Proceedings of the Conference (full papers and abstracts) and it was made available to all the Participants. My humble self mentioned in my inaugural presentation that the essence of all OSGeo and OS-GIS software are tucked into the live DVD. It was also emphasised that the Live-DVD is a way of seeing all the software run on one's computer / Laptop without soiling it by booting with it. Use of Virtual Machine on certain operating systems, which are not boot-friendly to the Live-DVD was also mentioned. As usual the conference acknowledges the untiring effort by live.osgeo.org (http://live.osgeo.org/en/index.html) who keep the DVD afresh with all latest OS-GIS. https://plus.google.com/114935751871526846208/posts/iXhdxwaePux&lt;br /&gt;

* Presentation: From Debian-GIS to OSGeo live and back&lt;br /&gt;
* Description: Debian GIS is a project with the goal of making Debian the best distribution for Geographical Information System applications.&lt;br /&gt;
OSGeo live (live.osgeo.org) is a self-contained bootable dvd, usb thumb drive or virtual machine based on Lubuntu, that allows you to try a wide variety of open source geospatial software without installing anything. It also contains a set of uniform documentation (description and quickstarts) to guide people around the different projects.&lt;br /&gt;
Even though OSGeo live is based on the packages in Debian, both projects diverted and where OSGeo live managed to get a large (100+) community of contributors, progress in Debian GIS was stalling. Recently however, a new wind is blowing in Debian GIS (among others with the Debian pure blends initiative) and many changes from OSGeo live are being incorporated back into Debian.&lt;br /&gt;
Apart from presenting both projects I will highlight some problems people encounter when they would like to add their package to Debian GIS, and how Debian pure blends try to solve this.&lt;br /&gt;

=== 8-10. June 2015 FOSS4G India 2015, IIRS Dehradun, India ===&lt;br /&gt;
OSGeo-India tweaked the Live DVD to also contain the Digital Proceedings of the Conference (full papers and abstracts) and it was made available to all the Participants. My humble self mentioned in my inaugural presentation that the essence of all OSGeo and OS-GIS software are tucked into the live DVD. It was also emphasised that the Live-DVD is a way of seeing all the software run on one's computer / Laptop without soiling it by booting with it. Use of Virtual Machine on certain operating systems, which are not boot-friendly to the Live-DVD was also mentioned. As usual the conference acknowledges the untiring effort by live.osgeo.org (http://live.osgeo.org/en/index.html) who keep the DVD afresh with all latest OS-GIS. https://plus.google.com/114935751871526846208/posts/iXhdxwaePux&lt;br /&gt;

* Presentation: From Debian-GIS to OSGeo live and back&lt;br /&gt;
* Description: Debian GIS is a project with the goal of making Debian the best distribution for Geographical Information System applications.&lt;br /&gt;
OSGeo live (live.osgeo.org) is a self-contained bootable dvd, usb thumb drive or virtual machine based on Lubuntu, that allows you to try a wide variety of open source geospatial software without installing anything. It also contains a set of uniform documentation (description and quickstarts) to guide people around the different projects.&lt;br /&gt;
Even though OSGeo live is based on the packages in Debian, both projects diverted and where OSGeo live managed to get a large (100+) community of contributors, progress in Debian GIS was stalling. Recently however, a new wind is blowing in Debian GIS (among others with the Debian pure blends initiative) and many changes from OSGeo live are being incorporated back into Debian.&lt;br /&gt;
Apart from presenting both projects I will highlight some problems people encounter when they would like to add their package to Debian GIS, and how Debian pure blends try to solve this.&lt;br /&gt;

=== 8-10. June 2015 FOSS4G India 2015, IIRS Dehradun, India ===&lt;br /&gt;
OSGeo-India tweaked the Live DVD to also contain the Digital Proceedings of the Conference (full papers and abstracts) and it was made available to all the Participants. My humble self mentioned in my inaugural presentation that the essence of all OSGeo and OS-GIS software are tucked into the live DVD. It was also emphasised that the Live-DVD is a way of seeing all the software run on one's computer / Laptop without soiling it by booting with it. Use of Virtual Machine on certain operating systems, which are not boot-friendly to the Live-DVD was also mentioned. As usual the conference acknowledges the untiring effort by live.osgeo.org (http://live.osgeo.org/en/index.html) who keep the DVD afresh with all latest OS-GIS. https://plus.google.com/114935751871526846208/posts/iXhdxwaePux&lt;br /&gt;

* Location: Brussels, Belgium&lt;br /&gt;
* 31 January &amp;amp; 1 February 2015&lt;br /&gt;
* Presentation: From Debian-GIS to OSGeo live and back&lt;br /&gt;
* Description: Debian GIS is a project with the goal of making Debian the best distribution for Geographical Information System applications.&lt;br /&gt;
OSGeo live (live.osgeo.org) is a self-contained bootable dvd, usb thumb drive or virtual machine based on Lubuntu, that allows you to try a wide variety of open source geospatial software without installing anything. It also contains a set of uniform documentation (description and quickstarts) to guide people around the different projects.&lt;br /&gt;
Even though OSGeo live is based on the packages in Debian, both projects diverted and where OSGeo live managed to get a large (100+) community of contributors, progress in Debian GIS was stalling. Recently however, a new wind is blowing in Debian GIS (among others with the Debian pure blends initiative) and many changes from OSGeo live are being incorporated back into Debian.&lt;br /&gt;
Apart from presenting both projects I will highlight some problems people encounter when they would like to add their package to Debian GIS, and how Debian pure blends try to solve this.&lt;br /&gt;

=== 8-10. June 2015 FOSS4G India 2015, IIRS Dehradun, India ===&lt;br /&gt;
OSGeo-India tweaked the Live DVD to also contain the Digital Proceedings of the Conference (full papers and abstracts) and it was made available to all the Participants. My humble self mentioned in my inaugural presentation that the essence of all OSGeo and OS-GIS software are tucked into the live DVD. It was also emphasised that the Live-DVD is a way of seeing all the software run on one's computer / Laptop without soiling it by booting with it. Use of Virtual Machine on certain operating systems, which are not boot-friendly to the Live-DVD was also mentioned. As usual the conference acknowledges the untiring effort by live.osgeo.org (http://live.osgeo.org/en/index.html) who keep the DVD afresh with all latest OS-GIS. https://plus.google.com/114935751871526846208/posts/iXhdxwaePux&lt;br /&gt;

* Presentation: From Debian-GIS to OSGeo live and back&lt;br /&gt;
* Description: Debian GIS is a project with the goal of making Debian the best distribution for Geographical Information System applications.&lt;br /&gt;
OSGeo live (live.osgeo.org) is a self-contained bootable dvd, usb thumb drive or virtual machine based on Lubuntu, that allows you to try a wide variety of open source geospatial software without installing anything. It also contains a set of uniform documentation (description and quickstarts) to guide people around the different projects.&lt;br /&gt;
Even though OSGeo live is based on the packages in Debian, both projects diverted and where OSGeo live managed to get a large (100+) community of contributors, progress in Debian GIS was stalling. Recently however, a new wind is blowing in Debian GIS (among others with the Debian pure blends initiative) and many changes from OSGeo live are being incorporated back into Debian.&lt;br /&gt;
Apart from presenting both projects I will highlight some problems people encounter when they would like to add their package to Debian GIS, and how Debian pure blends try to solve this.&lt;br /&gt;

=== 8-10. June 2015 FOSS4G India 2015, IIRS Dehradun, India ===&lt;br /&gt;
OSGeo-India tweaked the Live DVD to also contain the Digital Proceedings of the Conference (full papers and abstracts) and it was made available to all the Participants. My humble self mentioned in my inaugural presentation that the essence of all OSGeo and OS-GIS software are tucked into the live DVD. It was also emphasised that the Live-DVD is a way of seeing all the software run on one's computer / Laptop without soiling it by booting with it. Use of Virtual Machine on certain operating systems, which are not boot-friendly to the Live-DVD was also mentioned. As usual the conference acknowledges the untiring effort by live.osgeo.org (http://live.osgeo.org/en/index.html) who keep the DVD afresh with all latest OS-GIS. https://plus.google.com/114935751871526846208/posts/iXhdxwaePux&lt;br /&gt;

* 31 January &amp;amp; 1 February 2015&lt;br /&gt;
* Presentation: From Debian-GIS to OSGeo live and back&lt;br /&gt;
* Description: Debian GIS is a project with the goal of making Debian the best distribution for Geographical Information System applications.&lt;br /&gt;
OSGeo live (live.osgeo.org) is a self-contained bootable dvd, usb thumb drive or virtual machine based on Lubuntu, that allows you to try a wide variety of open source geospatial software without installing anything. It also contains a set of uniform documentation (description and quickstarts) to guide people around the different projects.&lt;br /&gt;
Even though OSGeo live is based on the packages in Debian, both projects diverted and where OSGeo live managed to get a large (100+) community of contributors, progress in Debian GIS was stalling. Recently however, a new wind is blowing in Debian GIS (among others with the Debian pure blends initiative) and many changes from OSGeo live are being incorporated back into Debian.&lt;br /&gt;
Apart from presenting both projects I will highlight some problems people encounter when they would like to add their package to Debian GIS, and how Debian pure blends try to solve this.&lt;br /&gt;

=== 8-10. June 2015 FOSS4G India 2015, IIRS Dehradun, India ===&lt;br /&gt;
OSGeo-India tweaked the Live DVD to also contain the Digital Proceedings of the Conference (full papers and abstracts) and it was made available to all the Participants. My humble self mentioned in my inaugural presentation that the essence of all OSGeo and OS-GIS software are tucked into the live DVD. It was also emphasised that the Live-DVD is a way of seeing all the software run on one's computer / Laptop without soiling it by booting with it. Use of Virtual Machine on certain operating systems, which are not boot-friendly to the Live-DVD was also mentioned. As usual the conference acknowledges the untiring effort by live.osgeo.org (http://live.osgeo.org/en/index.html) who keep the DVD afresh with all latest OS-GIS. https://plus.google.com/114935751871526846208/posts/iXhdxwaePux&lt;br /&gt;

* Presentation: From Debian-GIS to OSGeo live and back&lt;br /&gt;
* Description: Debian GIS is a project with the goal of making Debian the best distribution for Geographical Information System applications.&lt;br /&gt;
OSGeo live (live.osgeo.org) is a self-contained bootable dvd, usb thumb drive or virtual machine based on Lubuntu, that allows you to try a wide variety of open source geospatial software without installing anything. It also contains a set of uniform documentation (description and quickstarts) to guide people around the different projects.&lt;br /&gt;
Even though OSGeo live is based on the packages in Debian, both projects diverted and where OSGeo live managed to get a large (100+) community of contributors, progress in Debian GIS was stalling. Recently however, a new wind is blowing in Debian GIS (among others with the Debian pure blends initiative) and many changes from OSGeo live are being incorporated back into Debian.&lt;br /&gt;
Apart from presenting both projects I will highlight some problems people encounter when they would like to add their package to Debian GIS, and how Debian pure blends try to solve this.&lt;br /&gt;
