FOSS4G 2010 Lessons Learned

2010-09-20T21:09:21Z

Wiki-Ominiverdi: /* selling VS gifting */

back to [[FOSS4G 2010]]

==communication inside the organization==
every LOC is different and it's not easy to establish the connection between OSGeo Board, the Conf Com and the LOC.
It's curious how, even if we all want to help each others, it's so easy to get into misunderstandings. The Chair has a key role to make this process smoother and bridge between these groups.

suggestion: don't sub-estimate the difficulties that can arise from the LOC and the OSGeo communities. Keep supporting an open minded approach.

== Registration ==
Simplify process.

=== Attendee Survey ===
* embed in the registration proces
* add:
** Have you been to FOSS4G before (to measure how well we are doing
pulling in new people, since education is such an important foss4g
goal)
** Do you use open source geospatial software currently? (to see
whether people are coming for skills upgrading or basic introduction
of a what-is-this-stuff sort)

==web platform==

===when to start===
Now!

Get ready with your website so we can link to your site while many visitors are still on ours.

Create banners, logos, etc. of the same size and format so that folks who link to us simply have to exchange a file. We have conquered quite a bit of web space on others sites by now and should maintain this.

===public website===
The home page of the conference and all the contents to show to the public can be easily made in pure HTML (little php can help). Check other events websites.

===abstracts platform===
this can be the real PITA. As far we've seen there's not yet a good open source platform for this and the one from our conference company is nice to see but not even sufficient in terms of bugs, usability, features.

So double check your opportunities, you can avoid recursive heart attacks.

==== Academic track submission ====

* definitely also collect keywords

==Sponsors==
*don't wait for sponsors knocking at your door.
*avoid mass e-mailing to potential sponsors.
* prepare one-to-one e-mails to justify their involvement and offer support even to download a manual that's so easy to do. Let them feel comfortable.

==abstract selection==
*We have received way more abstracts that what expected. 360 for 120 places.
*coupling the selection of the Academic Committee and the Community Review is a tough job. We where 4 people during a long day together and we had to review our choices for the three days after from home.
*Using a Google Spreadsheet has been really a good help. The chat included helps to let the LOC group to refine the selection but I would not use it instead of a face to face meeting.
* suggestions: after the first selection, it's a good practice to leave 3-4 slots free to give the time to the community to react and help you choosing from the discarded presentations. There's always a good presentation that the LOC can miss and that can be added in a second moment.

==media and communications==

Start the media agreements ASAP, we've been little lazy with it. We decided not to spend money or free entrances with Media Partners and the time will tell if we did right. Anyway relations with media are important and we dedicated a person to it, choose one soon; he should take care of magazines and mailing lists for you.
We hope to give a good list of international magazines and you will have just to extend the agreements.

==Lessons at the Venue==

Put a short bio of the speakers in the webpage with the abstract, hand them out to the session chairmans.

It would be a really nice thing to provide a backchannel from twitter in different places of the venue there is a whole paralel meeting there!

WIFI - that's always a problem. We couldn't do better. We reserved 500 connection but we had 500 passwords instead. So switching from one session to another would take too long even if the first computer was shut down. The lesson is: if you have to limit the total amount of connection be sure you receive something that can be easily switched from one computer/mobile to another so you grant you have always a maximum amount of connection active.
Most of the people use the connection for few minutes a day and can share it with the neighbour.

==Lessons at the workshops==
Double check that your presenters are coming for sure. Even better if they provide a second presenter or alternate presenter (backup?!?). This should avoid what happened in Barcelona with the QGIS workshops that had no presenter and we had to move people and possibly refund them (40 people!).

==T-shirts==
===selling VS gifting===
We are still convinced of the idea of selling the t-shirts. The price is symbolic, there was no profit, we didn't want people to throw the t-shirt to the first dustbin just because it was an unwanted gift.

We've chosen to print a number close to the half of the supposed attendance.

===sizes===
We did a mistake over the proportions. Expecting european sizes we decided about the proportion of 1-1-2-1 with the size M-L-XL-XXL. Unfortunately the provider had international US sizes (Fruit of...) and we had problems to place most of the XL and XXL, while M and L where quickly sold out. For the next conference I would suggest a proportion of 3-4-3-1, should better fit the attendance.

FOSS4G 2010 Lessons Learned

2010-09-10T13:09:23Z

Wiki-Ominiverdi: /* Lessons at the Venue */

back to [[FOSS4G 2010]]

==communication inside the organization==
every LOC is different and it's not easy to establish the connection between OSGeo Board, the Conf Com and the LOC.
It's curious how, even if we all want to help each others, it's so easy to get into misunderstandings. The Chair has a key role to make this process smoother and bridge between these groups.

suggestion: don't sub-estimate the difficulties that can arise from the LOC and the OSGeo communities. Keep supporting an open minded approach.

==web platform==

===when to start===
Get ready with your website so we can link to your site while many visitors are still on ours.

===public website===
The home page of the conference and all the contents to show to the public can be easily made in pure HTML (little php can help). Check other events websites.

===abstracts platform===
this can be the real PITA. As far we've seen there's not yet a good open source platform for this and the one from our conference company is nice to see but not even sufficient in terms of bugs, usability, features.

So double check your opportunities, you can avoid recursive heart attacks.

==== Academic track submission ====

* definitely also collect keywords

==Sponsors==
*don't wait for sponsors knocking at your door.
*avoid mass e-mailing to potential sponsors.
* prepare one-to-one e-mails to justify their involvement and offer support even to download a manual that's so easy to do. Let them feel comfortable.

==abstract selection==
*We have received way more abstracts that what expected. 360 for 120 places.
*coupling the selection of the Academic Committee and the Community Review is a tough job. We where 4 people during a long day together and we had to review our choices for the three days after from home.
*Using a Google Spreadsheet has been really a good help. The chat included helps to let the LOC group to refine the selection but I would not use it instead of a face to face meeting.
* suggestions: after the first selection, it's a good practice to leave 3-4 slots free to give the time to the community to react and help you choosing from the discarded presentations. There's always a good presentation that the LOC can miss and that can be added in a second moment.

==media and communications==

Start the media agreements ASAP, we've been little lazy with it. We decided not to spend money or free entrances with Media Partners and the time will tell if we did right. Anyway relations with media are important and we dedicated a person to it, choose one soon; he should take care of magazines and mailing lists for you.
We hope to give a good list of international magazines and you will have just to extend the agreements.

==Lessons at the Venue==

Put a short bio of the speakers in the webpage with the abstract, hand them out to the session chairmans.

It would be a really nice thing to provide a backchannel from twitter in different places of the venue there is a whole paralel meeting there!

WIFI - that's always a problem. We couldn't do better. We reserved 500 connection but we had 500 passwords instead. So switching from one session to another would take too long even if the first computer was shut down. The lesson is: if you have to limit the total amount of connection be sure you receive something that can be easily switched from one computer/mobile to another so you grant you have always a maximum amount of connection active.
Most of the people use the connection for few minutes a day and can share it with the neighbour.

==Lessons at the workshops==
Double check that your presenters are coming for sure. Even better if they provide a second presenter or alternate presenter (backup?!?). This should avoid what happened in Barcelona with the QGIS workshops that had no presenter and we had to move people and possibly refund them (40 people!).

==add other lesson==

back to [[FOSS4G 2010]]

= 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.

Remember the Gala Dinner is scheduled at 20:00.

=Room Assignments=
==Rooms Available==

We will need to share the biggest rooms because we have more sessions than rooms.

Add your name to the "Moderator" column if you feel as a session's leader.

Please, contact us to ask for changes.

Board Member Nominations 2010

2010-08-14T14:00:32Z

Wiki-Ominiverdi: /* Lorenzo Becchi */

The following nominations have been received for the OSGeo Board in 2010 through the [[Election 2010]] process. The end of Thursday, August 12th 2010 is the latest that new nominations, sent to cro@osgeo.org and the discuss list, will be accepted.

This list is presented in the order nominations were received.

Incumbent board members are marked with an asterisk (*).

Candidate statements, if they have been provided, are indented and provided immediately after the candidate name.

== Arnulf Christl* ==

I would like to suggest the nomination of Arnulf for the OSGeo Board Election 2010 again. He did a good job the last years, so it would be nice to have him in the Board again.

He is active in the Open Source community for many years. Very early he discovered the sense of open standards and promoted the OGC and the standards.

He is active world wide - doing lots of presentations, trainings, articles, consulting and has the ability to inspire people for open source. With his company he set up lots of solutions based on open source.

He also is active in the OSGeo as president, in the OGC, in the FOSSGIS e.V. which is the german speaking local chapter of the OSGeo and in the Mapbender project.

He has a lot of energy to push things forward, to motivate and encourage people and he has a lot of ideas. He walks around with an open mind and is open when he steps up to other people.

He is dedicated for the idea of open source and puts a lot of his energy and time in this idea.

''From: Astrid Emde''

== Frank Warmerdam* ==

I would like to nominate Frank Warmerdam for re-election in the 2010 OSGeo Board Election.

Frank doesn't need to be introduced, he has been recognized as a leader in the Open Source Geospatial field for several years before the OSGeo Foundation was created, and has been one of the key people who made the launch and operation of the Foundation possible in its early days.

Frank has served on the OSGeo board since the creation of the Foundation and plays a key role in many (all?) of its committees. It makes no doubt that he is committed to OSGeo's mission and that he can continue to make significant contributions as an OSGeo board member.

''From: Daniel Morissette''

If selected, I would be pleased to serve on the OSGeo board for another two years. I believe I can offer continuity in the operation of OSGeo due to my involvement at the board, and others levels from the launch of the foundation.

''From: Frank Warmerdam''

== Venkatesh Raghavan ==

I would like to nominate Venkatesh Raghavan for his work in the OSGeo fields, making event in Japan, making OSGeo Members able to visit Japan with him and go to the Japanese event (FOSS4G Japan).

Venkatesh makes lot of training session all over Asia to present and promote lot of OSGeo projects. He makes some charter member able to do the training in Asia also or other events to promote OSGeo projects. He came to all the FOSS4G and help in finding the name of this event. He also promote OSGeo projects in many papers he wrote or some of his students wrote, write or will write.

''From: Gérald Fenoy''

Venkatesh is the soul behind many an Asian FOSS4G endeavors. A very friendly guy who can take OSGeo initiatives far and wide. He will make a very valuable member of the OSGeo board.

V.Ravi Kumar

== Tim Schaub ==

I would like to nominate Tim Schaub for the OSGeo Board.

Tim has shown strong leadership in both the OpenLayers and the GeoExt community. He has got excellent technical skills, but above all he also has excellent communication skills. Normally this is a rare combination to find.

Tim is part of both the OpenLayers as well as the GeoExt Project Steering Committee (PSC), for the OpenLayers PSC he is the chair.

Tim is working for OpenGeo, a company which has changed open source GIS for sure in the last few years, and continues to do so more and more, with adding great support packages and productizing a stack of excellent software components.

I believe Tim would be a very valuable addition to the OSGeo board. Thanks in advance.

''From: Bart van den Eijnden''



== Daniel Morissette ==

I am proud to nominate Daniel Morissette for the OSGeo Board election 2010.

Daniel is one of the early pioneers in the geospatial free and open source domain. He has been involved in the OSGeo Foundation since its inception. He is one of the main contributors of the MapServer project (for that he is often called the "Mother" of MapServer ;-) ) and he is a member of the GDAL/OGR Project Steering Committee (PSC). Due to his significant contribution to the advancement of open source ideals in the geospatial realm, he was awarded the Sol Katz Award in 2009. Daniel is also very active at a more local level. He is one of the co-founding members of the OSGeo Quebec local chapter and has recently chaired the organisation committee of the first and successful edition of the Rendez-vous OSGeo-Quebec (see http://rendez-vous-osgeo-qc.org/2010/). His addition to the board could thus be very valuable as he knows very well how local chapters work, the problems local users are facing in the adoption of geospatial open source technologies (including the cultural, linguistic and local peculiarities) and how local chapters can contribute to the achievement of the OSGeo Foundation mission.

Daniel is also one of the most patient people I know. He is always open to new ideas or points of view, but he also knows how to federate energies to carry out ambitious and difficult project. It is an actual pleasure to work with him. It is a man of passion and he knows how to share his passion of geospatial open source technologies with everyone.

It makes no doubt to me that he is committed to OSGeo's mission and he would be a very valuable addition to the OSGeo board.

''From: Theirry Badard''

== Paolo Cavallini ==

I would like to nominate Paolo Cavallini, for his role in developing OSGeo Italy, and in developing and promoting QGIS.

''From: Duarte Carreira''
