<p>Wiki-Rburhum: /* Members */</p> <hr /> <div>== Background ==<br /> The OSGeo Board of Directors met with the UN GIS team at FOSS4G in Seoul, Korea in September 2015. The UN GIS team is very interested in having OSGeo &quot;at the table&quot;, and is interested in an exchange of official letters (an MoU would take many years to pass through on their side apparently) to formalize the relationship. Mr. Kyoung-Soo Eom, chief of the UN Geospatial Information Section, has invited OSGeo to be part of a working group on Geospatial Information and Services for Disasters.<br /> <br /> == Goals ==<br /> <br /> * Develop a closer relationship with the UN.<br /> <br /> * Establish a formal agreement between OSGeo and the UN.<br /> <br /> * Establish communication between the UN GIS team and the OSGeo community.<br /> <br /> * Promote the use of Open Source geospatial tools by the UN's member states and committees.<br /> <br /> == Communication ==<br /> <br /> * a new &quot;UN&quot; mailing list has been created, please subscribe at https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/un<br /> <br /> == Activities ==<br /> * OSGeo has formally expressed interest in joining the [[UN-GGIM-Working-Group]] on Geospatial Information and Services for Disasters <br /> ** this was discussed at OSGeo's [[Board_Meeting_2015-10-15]]<br /> ** the UN is looking for feedback on the working group's [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/UN-GGIM-Working-Group#Draft_terms_of_reference_.28TOR.29 TOR draft]<br /> <br /> == Next steps ==<br /> * put out call for members for this new committee to Discuss list<br /> * organize a monthly meeting, possibly using IRC or Slack<br /> * draft official letter for formalizing relationship with UN<br /> <br /> == Meetings ==<br /> <br /> *<br /> <br /> == Members ==<br /> <br /> * [[Jeff McKenna]]<br /> * [[Jochen Albrecht]] <br /> * [[Bob Basques]]<br /> * [[Massimiliano_Cannata]]<br /> * [[User:Ticheler|Jeroen Ticheler]]<br /> * [[Micha Silver]]<br /> * [[User:GodwinYeboah|Godwin Yeboah]]<br /> * [[User:Assefa|Yewondwossen Assefa]]<br /> * [[User:Nikos|Nikos Alexandris]]<br /> * [[User:AndrewTurner|Andrew Turner]]<br /> * [[Venkatesh Raghavan]]<br /> * [[User:Djay|Gérald Fenoy]]<br /> * [[User:Pmooney|Peter MOONEY]]<br /> * [[User:13scoter|Scott Hatcher]]<br /> * [[User:kotzino|Dimitris Kotzinos]]<br /> * [[User:ElaWoloszynska|Ela Wołoszyńska-Wiśniewska]]<br /> * [[User:Jachym|Jachym Cepicky]]<br /> * [[User:endofcap|Sanghee Shin]]<br /> * [[User:Giulianoramat|Giuliano Ramat]]<br /> * [[User:Gregory.giuliani|Gregory Giuliani]]<br /> * [[User:Till Adams|Till Adams]]<br /> * [[User:MariaGRIDW|Maria Andrzejewska]]<br /> * [[User:rburhum|Ragi Y.

<p>Wiki-Rburhum: /* Publish your real name instead of your User:name */</p> <hr /> <div>''The [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Category:OSGeo_Member OSGeo Member list] is user maintained and not controlled through a formal process.''<br /> <br /> == Introduction ==<br /> If you consider yourself an [http://www.osgeo.org/membership OSGeo Member], then you may want yourself listed on the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Category:OSGeo_Member OSGeo Member list]. Everyone is welcome.<br /> <br /> First, create a user on this Wiki. Then add some information about yourself on your user page (must be logged in). You may input your latitude and longitude on your user page. Read the [[Category talk:OSGeo Member | discussion page]] to see what could be done with those coordinates. Hack it if you feel like it. Watch out for [[Axis Order Confusion]] when you do it.<br /> <br /> To be listed on this page, you can add the &lt;nowiki&gt;[[Category:OSGeo Member]]&lt;/nowiki&gt; category tag to your user page, but it might be better to follow the instructions in the following section.<br /> <br /> == Publish your real name instead of your User:name ==<br /> If you want your name to appear in the list, rather than the &lt;tt&gt;User:&lt;/tt&gt; prefix and your MediaWiki userid, follow these steps:<br /> * Construct a URL consisting of &lt;nowiki&gt;&quot;http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/&quot;&lt;/nowiki&gt; plus your name, where spaces in your name are replaced by underscore (_) characters. For example, if your name was &quot;First Last&quot;, the URL would be &lt;nowiki&gt;&quot;http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/First_Last&quot;&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> * Visit that URL. If you get a page that says &quot;There is currently no text in this page...&quot;, then ''your'' page does not yet exist, and you can proceed with the next step. If you find that the page &lt;i&gt;does&lt;/i&gt; already exist, then you will have to go back to the prior step and select a ''different name'' (e.g. perhaps add your middle initial).<br /> * Add your name, interests, occupation, links to your homepage, project and work pages and maybe a picture. <br /> * Save this page. <br /> * Then go to your MediaWiki user page (by clicking on your Name ''First Last'' as it appears in the upper right menu of the Wiki) and edit it. The URL of this page looks something like &lt;nowiki&gt;&quot;http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:First Last&quot;&lt;/nowiki&gt;. <br /> * Select the &quot;edit&quot; link and add a MediaWiki redirect link to this page. This will forward the user to the page you just created under your full name. <br /> * If your user page is at &lt;nowiki&gt;[[User:FLast]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;, then add this line: &lt;tt&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;&quot;http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/First_Last&quot;&lt;/nowiki&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;<br /> * Don't forget to save your new page.<br /> <br /> == Publish your membership to local chapters, committees and other sub groups ==<br /> * Visit the URL created in the previous instruction ''Redirect''. <br /> * Select the &quot;edit this page&quot; link.<br /> ** Tag this page so that it appears in the requested [[:Category:OSGeo_Member | OSGeo member]] list(s). <br /> <br /> You do that by for instance adding this line:<br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;[[Category:OSGeo Member]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> to get listed in the OSGeo Member list. Or<br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;[[Category:Nederland]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> to be shown in the Local Chapter: Nederland. Before Setting the category for your Local Chapter, check the [[Local Chapters|list of Local Chapters]].<br /> <br /> == User map ==<br /> <br /> To appear on the user map, just follow the instructions in [[UserMap Documentation]].<br /> <br /> [[Category: Membership]]</div>
