&lt;br /&gt;
* February 2007&lt;br /&gt;
* National Conference on Biodiversity Conservation and Human Well-Being was organized by Department of Zoology, Osmania &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Areas for Improvement ==&lt;br /&gt;
* OSGeo-India is helping in creation of GIS datasets for the parliamentory constituency of Rajahmundry town in Andhrapradesh. This will be a model for future endeavours where public at large can benifit from use of Open Source GIS, in Town planning, Sanitation, Analysis of School education etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The OSGeo-India will conduct trainings in Open Source Geospatial software encouraging student and researchers in conducting lectures and workshops.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Opportunities to Help ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*    OSGeo Members can help in customising the Open Source GIS software such that the end user&lt;br /&gt;
can work around to add data, query etc with limited exposure. This will make the GIS data&lt;br /&gt;
created sustainable. Customisation will include making a simple model for using a server (PostGIS)&lt;br /&gt;
serving GIS data with customised frontend software like Qgis, OpenJUMP etc in India languages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Outlook for 2008 ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The GIS datasets being created for the town of Rajahmundry using Open Source GIS, Andhra Pradesh, will be a model for other municipal corporations to follow. The benificiaries include Governament as well as the students of post graduation in Geoinformatics, of Nannaya University of the same town.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* OSGeo-India wishes to encourage academic institutes teaching GIS to also adopt Open Source GIS by helping them providing resource persons from OSGeo-India.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;= Brazilian OSGeo Chapter =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a first try at getting the brazilian users to get to know each other and who is doing what.&lt;br /&gt;
So, after that, we may try to form a proper local chapter. From this point onwards, the page will be in portuguese.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= OSGeo Se&amp;amp;ccedil;ão Brasil =&lt;br /&gt;
(Obviamente esta página pode e deve ser modificada para representar o pensamento dos usuários brasileiros =D Pmarc 18:56, 31 May 2006 (CEST))&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aos usuários brasileiros de softwares livres geoespaciais:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A cria&amp;amp;ccedil;ão de uma espécie de Se&amp;amp;ccedil;ão Brasileira da OSGeo é o objetivo desta página.&lt;br /&gt;
Primeiramente gostaríamos de saber quem são os brasileiros trabalhando com geotecnologias livres, onde trabalham e o que fazem.&lt;br /&gt;
Depois poderíamos organizar uma reunião e fundar a associa&amp;amp;ccedil;ão propriamente dita.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alguns dos objetivos que podem ser alcan&amp;amp;ccedil;ados de maneira mais eficiente com a cria&amp;amp;ccedil;ão de um grupo local forte:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Localiza&amp;amp;ccedil;ão das interfaces dos programas;&lt;br /&gt;
* Melhoria da documenta&amp;amp;ccedil;ão em português;&lt;br /&gt;
* Cria&amp;amp;ccedil;ão e desenvolvimento de 'expertise' nacional;&lt;br /&gt;
* Influenciar na ado&amp;amp;ccedil;ão de geotecnologias livre nos governos;&lt;br /&gt;
* Influenciar nas políticas relacionadas á geoinforma&amp;amp;ccedil;ão, semelhante á iniciativa [http://publicgeodata.org Public GeoData], em consonância com as diretrizes do [[Public Geospatial Data Committee]], adaptado ás necessidades e realidades nacionais;&lt;br /&gt;
* Divulga&amp;amp;ccedil;ão e promo&amp;amp;ccedil;ão da OSGeo como um todo, consoante ás diretrizes do [[Promotion and Visibility Committee]];&lt;br /&gt;
* Promover a ado&amp;amp;ccedil;ão da educa&amp;amp;ccedil;ão em geotecnologias a partir dos softwares livres existentes, conforme o [[Education and Curriculum Committee]], bem como participar da elabora&amp;amp;ccedil;ão de uma proposta de currículo educacional em geotecnologias livres&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
É importante que a cria&amp;amp;ccedil;ão do grupo não interfira com as [[Local Chapter Guidelines | linhas gerais]] propostas. Ver também a [[Local Chapters | lista de propostas]] para se&amp;amp;ccedil;ões locais.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Comunica&amp;amp;ccedil;ão ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Já temos listas de discussão:&lt;br /&gt;

| I come from the Java side of the OSGeo fence, getting my start in GeoServer, where I was lead developer for a couple years, and GeoTools, where I still serve on the PMC.  My time is made possible by [http://topp.openplans.org The Open Planning Project (TOPP)], a great non-profit in New York that has been the lead supporter of GeoServer for years now.  I spent the last year in Zambia on a Fulbright Scholarship, looking at the potential for open source software to help implement spatial data infrastructures in developing countries.  It was a bit of a failure, but I learned a ton, and I see a lot of potential for open source in developing countries, towards truly open spatial data infrastructures.  I'm back at TOPP, in a new role as VP of Strategic Development, helping to grow the organization, and figuring out how to make our geospatial stuff self sustaining.  Once that's rolling, I hope to reinvest extra revenue in to figuring out and building a truly open geospatial web.  And just like apache and linux are the bedrock that the World Wide Web rests on, so too do I believe that the geospatial web necessarily must be built on a foundation of OS Geo software.  My continuing thoughts on all of this can be found at http://cholmes.wordpress.com &lt;br /&gt;

Yes, we're a closed-software shop -- but we support and use open source and open standards. I think there is room in the world for both the open and closed development models, and I have a strong interest in helping &amp;quot;closed&amp;quot; companies understand the value of, and contribute to, the open software world.

| A physicist/geophysicist/geological engineer who has used GRASS since 1987, and on the GRASS Interagency Steering Committee for the original public-domain package.  I wrote the Linux Mini-HOWTO on GRASS-GIS (which is now woefully out of date); and taught short courses in scientific (as opposed to cartographic) GIS since 1980.  In 1994 I moved my teaching to the Web, developing the CyberInstitute Short-Course on GIS.  Currently, I'm at UN ESCAP.  Open-Source is a great capacity- building environment for software communities worldwide.  In developing countries, rather than being stuck merely teaching people to cut and paste stuff within a proprietary office suite, you can be part of the full development team, customizing the software to your community's needs, helping your country to have its own software development community - and hopefully making a satisfying living in the process.&lt;br /&gt;

== Open Source Geospatial Foundation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Uma estrutura para projetos de mapeamentos e GIS liderados pela comunidade Open Source'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A [http://www.osgeo.org Open Source Geospatial Foundation] foi criada para apoiar e construir programas geoespaciais em código aberto de alta qualidade. O intuito da fundação é encorajar o uso e desenvolvimento colaborativo de projetos liderados pela comunidade. Durante uma reunião em Chicago, a estrutura e visão da fundação foram definidas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Na reunião, foi formado um Comitê de Diretores provisório. Cinco gerentes de projeto foram eleitos a partir de uma lista de representantes da América do Norte e Europa ativamente envolvidos com comunidades que lidam com tecnologias distintas (C, C++, Java, PHP, Python, Javascript, etc.):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Arnulf Christl - [http://www.mapbender.org Mapbender], CCGIS, Alemanha;&lt;br /&gt;
* Chris Holmes - [http://www.geoserver.org/ GeoServer]/[http://www.geotools.org/ GeoTools], The Open Planning Project, Estados Unidos;&lt;br /&gt;

* Markus Neteler - [http://grass.itc.it/ GRASS], Istituto Trentino Di Cultura, Itália;&lt;br /&gt;
* Frank Warmerdam - [http://www.gdal.org/ GDAL/OGR], Canadá.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Essa primeira lista de membros do Comitê será acrescida por quatro outros membros, a serem selecionados pela comunidade subseqüentemente.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A forma de administração da OSGF inspira-se em vários aspectos da  [http://www.apache.org/ Apache Foundation], incluindo uma sociedade composta por indivíduos oriundos dos projetos da fundação. A sociedade inicial consiste nos cinco membros do Comitê mais 16 outros participantes que compareceram à reunião. O alvo de 45 membros está sendo alcançado através de um processo de eleição pública feita pela comunidade open source geospatial. Cada pessoa nomeada será reconhecida pela sua contribuição em termos de software, documentação, tradução, entre outros. Da lista de escolhidos, 24 membros serão eleitos pelos membros atuais.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A fundação aceitará apenas projetos lançados sob licenças Open Source certificadas pela [http://www.opensource.org Open Source Initiative (OSI)]. A meta, a longo prazo, é estimular licenças que permitam que os diferentes projetos trabalhem melhor juntos e troquem códigos entre si. Meios de evitar a inclusão de código de propriedade ou patenteado serão instituídos. Os projetos de fundação focam a interoperabilidade entre si, em nível de consulta, e entre outros projetos de propriedade e open source, com base em padrões abertos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enquanto uma lista inicial de projetos foi definida, a adesão de diversos outros, como [http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/ MapServer] e [http://www.geotools.org/ GeoTools] está em processo de decisão em suas próprias comunidades. A princípio, os projetos da OSGF são [http://www.mapbender.org Mapbender], [http://mapbuilder.sourceforge.net/ MapBuilder], [http://www.osgeo.org/mapguide/ MapGuide], [http://www.gdal.org/ GDAL/OGR], [http://grass.itc.it/ GRASS] e [http://www.ossim.org/ OSSIM].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A fundação também perseguirá objetivos além da área de desenvolvimento de softwares, como promover um acesso mais aberto a dados geoespaciais produzidos pelo governo. Acesso a dados geoespaciais sob condições razoáveis é um problema ainda maior fora da América do Norte.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Graças ao uso do [http://logs.qgis.org/geofoundation/%23geofoundation.2006-02-04.log (IRC) durante a reunião], as discussões foram abertas a participantes fora da sala. O consenso a que se chegou na reunião de Chicago pavimenta o caminho para estabelecer uma fundação poderosa e inclusiva.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A forma de administração da OSGF inspira-se em vários aspectos da  [http://www.apache.org/ Apache Foundation], incluindo uma sociedade composta por indivíduos oriundos dos projetos de fundação. A sociedade inicial consiste nos cinco membros do Comitê mais 16 outros participantes que compareceram à reunião. O alvo de 45 membros está sendo alcançado através de um processo de eleição pública feita pela comunidade open source geospatial. Cada pessoa nomeada será reconhecida pela sua contribuição em termos de software, documentação, tradução, entre outros. Da lista de escolhidos, 24 membros serão eleitos pelos membros atuais.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A fundação aceitará apenas projetos lançados sob licenças Open Source certificadas pela [http://www.opensource.org Open Source Initiative (OSI)]. A meta, a longo prazo, é estimular licenças que permitam que os diferentes projetos trabalhem melhor juntos e troquem códigos entre si. Meios de evitar a inclusão de código de propriedade ou patenteado serão instituídos. Os projetos de fundação focam a interoperabilidade entre si, em nível de consulta, e entre outros projetos de propriedade e open source, com base em padrões abertos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enquanto uma lista inicial de projetos foi definida, a adesão de diversos outros, como [http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/ MapServer] e [http://www.geotools.org/ GeoTools] está em processo de decisão em suas próprias comunidades. A princípio, os projetos da OSGF são [http://www.mapbender.org Mapbender], [http://mapbuilder.sourceforge.net/ MapBuilder], [http://www.osgeo.org/mapguide/ MapGuide], [http://www.gdal.org/ GDAL/OGR], [http://grass.itc.it/ GRASS] e [http://www.ossim.org/ OSSIM].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A fundação também perseguirá objetivos além da área de desenvolvimento de softwares, como promover um acesso mais aberto a dados geoespaciais produzidos pelo governo. Acesso a dados geoespaciais sob condições razoáveis é um problema ainda maior fora da América do Norte.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Graças ao uso do [http://logs.qgis.org/geofoundation/%23geofoundation.2006-02-04.log (IRC) durante a reunião], as discussões foram abertas a participantes fora da sala de reunião. O consenso a que se chegou na reunião de Chicago pavimenta o caminho para estabelecer uma fundação poderosa e inclusiva.&lt;br /&gt;

'''Uma estrutura para projetos de mapeamentos e GIS liderados pela comunidade Open Source'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A [http://www.osgeo.org Open Source Geospatial Foundation] foi criada para apoiar e construir programas geoespaciais em código aberto de alta qualidade. O intuito da fundação é encorajar o uso e desenvolvimento colaborativo de projetos liderados pela comunidade. Durante uma reunião em Chicago, a estrutura e visão da fundação foram definidas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Na reunião, foi formado um Comitê provisório de Diretores. Cinco gerentes de projeto foram eleitos a partir de uma lista de representantes da América do Norte e Europa ativamente envolvidos com comunidades que lidam com tecnologias distintas (C, C++, Java, PHP, Python, Javascript, etc.):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Arnulf Christl - [http://www.mapbender.org Mapbender], CCGIS, Alemanha;&lt;br /&gt;
* Chris Holmes - [http://www.geoserver.org/ GeoServer]/[http://www.geotools.org/ GeoTools], The Open Planning Project, Estados Unidos;&lt;br /&gt;
* Gary Lang - [http://www.osgeo.org/mapguide/ MapGuide], Autodesk, Estados Unidos;&lt;br /&gt;
* Markus Neteler - [http://grass.itc.it/ GRASS], Istituto Trentino Di Cultura, Itália;&lt;br /&gt;
* Frank Warmerdam - [http://www.gdal.org/ GDAL/OGR], Canadá.&lt;br /&gt;

Durante uma reunião em Chicago, a estrutura e visão da fundação foram definidas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Na reunião, foi formado um Quadro de Diretores provisório. Cinco projetistas foram eleitos de uma lista maior. Eles são da América do Norte e Europa e representam diversas comunidades com tecnologias distintas (C, C++, Java, PHP, Python, Javascript, etc.):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Enquanto uma lista inicial de projetos foi proposta como projetos fundadores, diversos outros, como [http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/ MapServer] e [http://www.geotools.org/ GeoTools] estão atualmente decidindo, dentro de suas próprias comunidades, se entrarão ou não. A princípio, os projetos da OSGF são [http://www.mapbender.org Mapbender], [http://mapbuilder.sourceforge.net/ MapBuilder], [http://www.osgeo.org/mapguide/ MapGuide], [http://www.gdal.org/ GDAL/OGR], [http://grass.itc.it/ GRASS] e [http://www.ossim.org/ OSSIM].&lt;br /&gt;
