FOSS4G 2010 Code Sprint

2010-08-18T06:51:28Z

Wiki-Testbaudson: /* GeoJQuery */

== Organizing Contacts ==

*Wladimir Szczerban, Enric Rodellas

== Code Sprint - what's that? ==

A code sprint is usually organized by a group that is using an open source project and wants to see something done. They fly the developers to a single location and feed them for a couple of days with the necessities of the hacking life (internet, caffeine, electricity). The communication that happens from face to face hacking usually lasts the project for a year or more. You see this a lot in projects like Drupal etc...

== Venue ==

For map and more details see

*Date: '''Friday, 10 Sep 2010''' (the day after the conference).
*Time: '''9am-5pm'''  ([http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?year=2010&month=9&day=10&hour=7&min=0&sec=0&p1=31 timeandate]) 
*'''Where:''' Citilab-Cornellà

Phone: +34 93 551 06 60
Fax: +34 93 551 06 78

*'''Rooms:''' A+B+C
*'''[http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=41.359847&mlon=2.061653&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF online maps]'''

More than 100 attendees are expected!

== Motivation and Direction ==

A day, a code base, and your imagination?

Projects can use the time and venue for organizational discussions, development roadmaps, and group resolution of thorny issues in their code bases.

Is this your First Sprint? Here is some background information to get you started:

Mapbender Report 2009

Wiki-Testbaudson: /* Outlook for 2010 */

=== Key Accomplishments ===
* More transparent decision making on road map. Road maps are now created regularly for each quarter, with at most three items, devs vote up-front for items on mailing list and discuss via IRC
* interweaving Mapbender client side with jQuery. This results in more stability, less and concise code, better performance and user experience (for example slippy WMS map)
* relying on jQuery UI for creating widgets like datatables or or dialogs. Results in less code, easier development of new functionality, better user experience, better customization with jQuery UI CSS framework theme roller
* creation of a core JavaScript API
* created a foundation for technical documentation
* two successful GSoC projects, one student is now a regular committer, a GSoC student from 2008 returned
* a lot of great code sprints, like weekends with 10-15 devs!
* regular IRC meetings, we meet Mondays and I believe we never missed a date last year! About 5 attendees average

=== Areas for Improvement ===
* we didn't succeed in showing Mapbender's qualities to OSGeo or a wider audience in general. We need to be more confident in marketing, especially outside of Germany. Maybe FOSS4G in Barcelona will be an opportunity.
* unit testing didn't take off as we hoped it would.
* documentation is not as complete as we wanted it to be.
* the installation and update process has been improved, but is still not as easy as we wanted it to be.
* more consistent workflow of administration interfaces
* due to large refactoring last year backwards compatibility suffered a little and updates were tricky. Be patient with us, we learned a lot and this year will be much smoother.

=== Opportunities to Help ===
* volunteers to maintain documentation, user manuals, tutorials.
* more community feedback, we are curious about what OSGeo folks think about Mapbender
* we could need some input on client side (JS) unit testing.
* people with UI design experience and advanced CSS knowledge
* as long as we do not have enough unit tests, we need volunteers to do manual testing
* we could use a financial boost to address technical debt.

=== Outlook for 2010 ===
* Rely more on other (OSGeo) software, reduce Mapbender core
** we want to get closer to OpenLayers, we looked at Mapstraction and maybe this will be a good way to align our API to the OpenLayers API
** maybe use server side code from GeoPrisma or MapFish
** create interface to Geonetwork
** integration of an SVG lib like RaphaelJS
* Reduce technical debt
** rock solid documentation and stable API
** unit testing
* Enthusiasm in representing Mapbender at some international fairs

After two successful years, we'll continue the OSGeo "hacking" event in Bolsena in an [http://www.conventobolsena.org/ Italian monastery] ([http://tinyurl.com/2t6zby see map location], and videos: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wrZrK64UIw 2008-video] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxox3AsjH6Q 2009-video]). The monastery is overlooking Lago Bolsena and offers space to about 25 people in small bedrooms :-) . It is one of the coolest places for such an event. Quiet, isolated, simple and serene. There's a good wireless and wired internet connection, further improved this year. It should be perfect for SVN, IRC and mail. Have a look yourself, including looking at the photo gallery.
For what the food concerns, we will have a cook who will take care of us :-) . There's a large dining space, but we will eat outside overlooking the lake if weather permits (very likely in June).

The all inclusive cost will be 500 Euro per person for the full week. You can stay all seven days and food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) is included in the price. As last year, we will go out for a city visit and a dinner on one of the evenings (also included).

The event will take place during the whole week (7 days), although the emphasis will probably be Monday to Friday for most participants.

Please contact me if you have questions about this event ([[User:ticheler |Jeroen Ticheler]])

=== Registered Attendees ===

Those participating, you will need to make the payment of 500 Euro in advance to me to guarantee your place. Please contact me privately by email so we can arrange that. I've no problems if you later need to change as long as you make sure there's someone taking your place :-)

=== How to arrive to the Monastery ===

The closest airports are the Roma airports (Ciampino and Fiumincino).

From Rome to the monastery there is 135 km aproximately.

There is no railway to Bolsena.

From Fiumicino to Rome you can take the train [http://www.adr.it/content.asp?Subc=1363&L=1&idMen=731 METROPOLITANO FR1].

From Rome you can take a bus (cotral http://www.cotralspa.it/ENG/capolinea.asp) to Viterbo and other bus from viterbo to Bolsena.

Monday to Friday there is a bus each hour but Sunday there are very few buses.

From Bolsena main street to the Monastery is aproximately 1 km.

It could be interesting to rent a private bus or several cars to move from Rome to the Monastery and from the Monastery to Rome.

Wiki-Testbaudson:

I'm Christoph Baudson, currently chair of [[Mapbender]]. I was a mentor for Mapbender at [[Google_Summer_of_Code_2008 | GSoC 2008]] and 2009.

We may have met at [[OSGeo_Hacking_event | Bolsena]] in June 2008 or the year after.

Besides Mapbender, I'm currently looking into OpenLayers and MapFish.

Google Summer of Code 2009 Ideas

2009-03-23T09:12:03Z

Wiki-Testbaudson: /* What is the URL for your ideas page? */

[[Image:2009_summer_of_code_logo_final_r3-01.png|center|250px]]

* Back to the main OSGeo [[Google Summer of Code 2009]] wiki page.

=OSGeo Google Summer of Code 2009=
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation would like to extend a welcome to all SoC students. On this page you will find links to a host of ideas organized by project. You will find ideas ranging from the depths of computer science graph theory to the heights of visualization. One thing all these ideas have in common is lots and lots of spatial data.

These ideas are '''*only*''' to motivate you, and serve as example of the kind of hills we want to charge up. Your own ideas are more than welcomed - they are encouraged. We view you as the next wave of open source leaders; show us what you've got.

'''If you need more information on how to apply you can contact all the mentoring organisations via soc at lists.osgeo.org'''

* There is a [http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/GsocFlyers Google SoC flyer] to look at and post in appropriate places.

=What to expect during the summer?=

==Be prepared to be in constant communication with your mentors and project==
You and your mentors will decide on the specifics, but we will expect you and your mentor to communicate *a lot*. Part of the idea of SoC is to intergrate you into the developer community, so you should get involved from the start. The more you communicate the easier it will be. Don't be afraid that the mentors will request your phone number. It is only to make sure that we can reach you, in case of problems.

==Weekly reports==
Yes, every week we expect to see a report that at least answers the following questions:
# What did you get done this week?
# What do you plan on doing next week?
# Are you blocked on anything?

If you want, feel free to write *more*. But three sentences is the bare minimum. *IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU SEND YOUR PROGRESS REPORTS ON TIME*, if you don't send this email your mentors will start to get twitchy, and *especially* if they don't get any responses to their emails / don't see you in IRC. Twitchy mentors is not what we want. If you are blocked by finals, that's cool. We have all studied at some point, just tell us about it, be honest. If you don't know how to proceed and your mentor isn't answering *definitely* tell about it. The SoC project admins will always be available. Basically the point is that you open up the communication channels, and keep them open. That way you will have a super summer, and get paid ;)

Last year this weekly report proved to be very popular among the students and mentors alike, so we will keep it up.

==Wiki page==
In addition to weekly reports we ask you to maintain a wiki page for your project. You should store your weekly reports there and add other information, like how to compile and test your program. If applicable add screenshots and other nice info.

=Timeline=
http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/program/google/gsoc2009/faqs#timeline

* March 18th 2009: Google announces accepted organisations. If OSGeo is accepted as an organization for Google Summer of Code, start talking to us earlier rather than later.
* April 3rd 2009: Student application deadline. The earlier you start the more probable it is that you will be accepted!
* April 20th 2009: Accepted student proposals are announced.
* May 23rd 2009: Coding begins!
* July 6th - July 13th: Mid-term evaluation.
* Agust 10th: Pencils down!

= What is the URL for your ideas page? =
Each participating project's list of ideas is here, with a short description of the project and what type of students would be interested in it.

* [http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/SummerOfCode OpenLayers]: OpenLayers is a Javascript based mapping client, similar to the Javascript used to power Google Maps and other similar mapping websites. Ideas run the full range of math-oriented vector operations to full scale browser-based GIS application development. Good place to look if you're interested in Javascript.
* [http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/SummerOfCode GDAL SoC Ideas]: GDAL is the Geographic Data Abstraction Library, a library which provides access to spatial data in all kinds of formats via a uniform API.
* [http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_SoC_Ideas GRASS SoC Ideas]: GRASS GIS is an open source GIS focusing mainly on analysis. It is written as a collection of stand-alone C programs and has a new GUI written in Python. If you know Python, or want to implement algorithms in C take a look!
* [http://www.mapbender.org/GSoC_2009 Mapbender SoC ideas 2009]: Mapbender is a server and client side geographic data management tool, programmed in '''PHP''' and '''JavaScript''', using the '''jQuery''' library.
* [http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/SummerOfCodeIdeas Quantum GIS SoC Ideas] Quantum GIS (QGIS) is a user friendly Open Source Geographic Information System (GIS) that runs on Linux, Unix, Mac OSX, and Windows. QGIS supports vector, raster, and database formats.
* [[MapServer 2009 SOC Ideas]]
* [http://geosoa.scg.ulaval.ca/en/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=20 Laval University 2009 SoC ideas]: Based on OpenLayers and other relevant software from OSGeo, this project aims at designing and developing a tool to produce rich and interactive geo-analytical dashboards. Such dashboards will serve as a front end for a range of Spatial OLAP technologies to better support decision makers, managers, etc. in making informed decisions.
* [http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/Summer+of+Code+2009 GeoServer SoC 2009]: GeoServer supports Web Map Server, Web Feature Server and Web Coverage Service protocols. It makes spatial information available in a range of formats from GeoTIFF to KML. The application is Java EE based, making use of Spring to wire everything up. The application supports a plug-in system so student contributions can me distributed as they are ready.
* [http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Summer+of+Code+2009 GeoTools SoC 2009]: GeoTools is a Java toolkit for working with spatial data, it covers everything from bits on disk to rendering. It provides client code for WFS, WMS and supports a range of data sources like shapefile and PostGIS. The library is used by a lot of the Java applications on this page. The library has a plug-in system so students work can be distributed via maven as they are ready.
* [http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/HACK/Summer+of+Code uDig SoC 2009]: User-friendly Desktop GIS is a Java application written with the Eclipse RCP framework. The project has a community svn area to host student plug-ins, tutorials cover how to package up a custom application to show off your work.
* [http://openjump.org/wiki/show/Google+Summer+Of+Code+Ideas+List OpenJUMP/deegree Ideas List]: deegree and OpenJUMP share code derived from the original JUMP. Both programs maintain separate development lists and source code repositories but look for opportunities to collaborate.

* [http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/HACK/Summer+of+Code uDig SoC 2009]: User-friendly Desktop GIS is a Java application written with the Eclipse RCP framework. The project has a community svn area to host student plug-ins, tutorials cover how to package up a custom application to show off your work.
* [http://openjump.org/wiki/show/Google+Summer+Of+Code+Ideas+List OpenJUMP/deegree Ideas List]: deegree and OpenJUMP share code derived from the original JUMP. Both programs maintain separate development lists and source code repositories but look for opportunities to collaborate.

Wiki-Testbaudson: /* Mitgliederliste */

''This is the start page of the German Language Chapter as per [[Local Chapter Guidelines]]''

''Das ist die deutschsprachige Einstiegsseite zur OSGeo Foundation, die zu einer regionalen Gruppe werden könnte wie sie in den [[Local Chapter Guidelines]] beschrieben wird.

== Presse ==

Artikel über die OSGeo (erschienen in der "GIS-Zeitschrift für Geoinformatik", 11/07, S.38-41)

[http://wiki.osgeo.org/images/c/c6/GIS_OSGeo.pdf Download]

== Einführung ==
Bitte tragen Sie sich in die [[Deutsch#Mitgliederliste | Mitgliederliste]] ein, wenn Sie Interesse an einem deutschsprachigen [[Local Chapters]] haben. Der Eintrag ist freiwillig, dieses Wiki und alle enthaltenen Informationen sind öffentlich sichtbar. Die Kommunikation erfolgt über die [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/viscom-discuss-de Mailing-Liste discuss-de] ([http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/viscom-discuss-de/ Archiv]) oder dieses Wiki.
Eingeladen an dem deutschsprachigen Local Chapter mitzuwirken sind ausdrücklich alle Interessierten, völlig unabhängig davon ob Anwender oder Entwickler, völlig unabhängig davon ob erfahren im Umgang mit OS-GIS-Software oder "Neuling". Die OSGeo lebt von der Beteiligung jedes Einzelnen, jeder Beitrag ist willkommen.

== Unser Name ==
Wir brauchen einen offiziellen Namen für die deutschsprachige Gruppe der OSGeo, z.B.:
* [[FOSSGIS e.V.]]
* OSGeo DACH

== Rechtsform, Konto ==
Die OSGeo Foundation ist als non-profit Firma in Delaware, USA gegründet worden. Dort gibt es auch ein Konto und wird das Budget verwaltet. Für formale Arbeiten und als zentrale Anlaufstelle für Fragen rund um die OSGeo wurde Tyler Mitchell als Executive Director angestellt, seine Stelle wird auch aus diesem Budget finanziert. Unabhängig davon werden wir nationale Konten benötigen, da die Transferkosten und der Aufwand, Geld über internationale Grenzen zu transportieren, nach wie vor unsinnig ist.

In Deutschland gibt es bereits ein Netzwerk und Organisation für die Förderung Freier Software. Die GAV e.V. (GRASS Anwender-Vereinigung) ist eine formale Organisation der Rechtsform "eingetragener Verein", die bereits seit 1999 die gleichen Ziele verfolgt wie die OSGeo. Der GAV und OSGeo sind im Gespräch, wie eine Kooperation gestaltet werden kann. Eine erste, pragmatische Kooperation betrifft die Überschüsse der letzten FOSSGIS-Konferenzen, die das Organisationsteam zweckgebunden an den GAV e.V. gespendet hat. Bei Konferenzen und zu Marketing-Zwecken der OSGeo auf Messen im deutschsprachigen Raum konnte dieser Überschuß bereits sinnvoll genutzt werden, z.B. um den Druck von Informationsmaterial zu finanzieren.
* [http://www.fossgis.de/ FOSSGIS e.V.] (FOSSGIS e.V.)

== Ziele ==
Die Ziele der deutschsprachigen OSGeo Arbeitsgruppe entwickeln sich durch die Beiträge der Mitglieder. Eine erste Orientierung geben die [[Local Chapter Guidelines | Richtlinien für lokale Gruppen]], einzelne Schwerpunkte werden sich im Laufe der Arbeit herauskristallisieren.
* Bereitstellung eines Netzwerkes für die Mitglieder, ggf. mit Job-Börse.
* Organisation der jährlichen deutschsprachigen Konferenz (siehe [[FOSSGIS]])
* Kontaktstelle für neue Mitglieder und Sponsoren
* Führung eines Regionalbüros mit Konto, Telefon, Ansprechpartner
* Übersetzung von Dokumenten, Inhalten, Webseiten und Lokalisierung von Software (Anpassung an örtliche Besonderheiten)
* Lösungen im deutschsprachigen Raum bewerben
* Erstellung von regionalisierten Software-Paketen
* Training, Support und Entwicklung von e-Learning Inhalten in deutscher Sprache
* Förderung von offenen Standards und freien Zugang zu räumlichen Daten im deutschsprachigen Umfeld.
* Förderung der OSGeo Foundation durch Präsentationen, Informationsveranstaltungen, Messestände, etc.

== Komitees ==

An dieser Stelle folgen nach und nach die Komitees der deutschsprachigen OSGeo Gemeinschaft. Fühlen Sie sich frei selber ein Komitee zu gründen oder sich einem bestehenden anzuschließen.

* [[Komitee für Bildung und Dokumentationserstellung | Komitee für Bildung und Dokumentationserstellung]]
* [[FOSSGIS Konferenzkomitee | Konferenzkomitee (für FOSSGIS)]]

== Kommunikation ==
Die Kommunikaiton läuft über dieses Wiki, Mailing Listen, Webseite und natürlich das persönliche Gespräch auf Messen, Konferenzen und Anwendertreffen. Das neue OSGeo Portal bietet eine einfache Möglichkeit zur Übersetzung ins Deutsche. Falls Sie bei der Übersetzung gerne helfen möchten wenden Sie sich bitte an die Translation Group des [[WebCom | Website Committee]].

Zur Zeit gibt es die folgenden Mailinglisten, auf denen vornehmlich in deutscher Sprache kommuniziert wird:

== Steuerung ==
Die deutschprachige Gruppe der OSGeo ist noch informell. Beteiligen Sie sich an der Gestaltung, indem Sie sich einbringen. Entscheidungen werden wie bei Open Source üblich per Email an die Mailing Liste geschickt und diskutiert. Beschlussfähige Vorschläge werden von einem Mitglied vorgeschlagen und von einem zweiten Mitglied unterstützt.

=== Wahl ===
Die Wahl erfolgt über Ablehung, Zustimmung oder Gleichgültigkeit:
-1 = Veto, Ablehung
-0 = nicht einverstanden, beugt sich aber der Mehrheit
0 = trägt die Entscheidung der anderen mit, kann aber nicht beurteilen, ob sie gut ist (zu wenig Information, keine Zeit sich zu informieren, etc.)
+0 = unterstützt den Antrag passiv, kann aber nicht aktiv zum Thema beisteuern
+1 = Zustimmung, unterstützt den Antrag voll und arbeitet auch mit

=== Veto ===
Wer mit -1 wählt legt ein Veto ein. Damit das Veto angenommen werden kann muss es innerhalb der Wahlfrist begründet und am besten gleich mit einem Alternativvorschlag eingebracht werden.

=== Unterstützung ===
Wer mit +1 wählt muss auch bereit sein aktiv mit der Lösung mitzumachen. Sonst gibt es zu viele faule Beobachter und zu wenige Arbeiter.

=== Veto überstimmen ===
Ein Veto kann überstimmt werden
* durch eine absolute Mehrheit der Mitglieder
* oder wenn mindestens vier Mitglieder mit einer +1 wählen.

Alle Ergebnis können immer angefochten werden (bis uns was besseres einfällt).

== Offizieller Status und Dokumente ==
Die Open Source Geospatial Foundation ist eine rechtliche Organisation aus 73 Satzungsmitgliedern (Charter Members), 9 gewählten Direktoren, einem vom Direktorium benannten Executive Director (Tyler Mitchell) und dem Präsidenten (Frank Warmerdam). Alle offiziellen Projekte und Dokumente müssen von dem Direktorium abgenommen werden bevor sie offiziellen Status erreichen. Offizielle Dokumente werden im CMS auf http://www.osgeo.org hinterlegt und dadurch "Official Policy" der OSGeo. Alle Informationen in diesem Wiki sind lediglich informativer Natur, auch wenn die Inhalte in vielen Fällen durch die Community als bindend betrachtet werden.

In der Jahreshauptversammlung 2008 des GRASS Anwenderverein wurde eine deutlichere Formulierung der Verbindung mit OSGeo beschlossen, da sich die Ziele weitgehend decken. Weitere Einzelheiten dazu werden nach der nächsten Mitgliederversammlung am 20. September 2008 bekanntgegeben.

Press Release Indonesia

2008-11-20T08:43:34Z

Wiki-Testbaudson: linked to user page

'''''Press release'''''
==Lembaga OSGeo didirikan untuk memperkuat kerjasama pengembangan Teknologi Open Geospatial==

'''Suatu induk organisasi yang menaungi perhimpunan GIS dan beberapa Proyek yang berdasarkan peta.'''

Maret 6, 2006, perhimpunan Open Source Geospatial telah mengumumkan suatu susunan lembaga Open Source Geospatial ([http://www.osgeo.org]) sebuah organisasi non profit yang misinya adalah untuk mendukung dan mempromosikan suatu kerjasama pengembangan Teknologi Open Geospatial dan data. Lembaga yang bersangkutan telah dibentuk pada awal bulan ini untuk mengurus keuangan, pengorganisiasian dan bantuan secara hukum untuk memperluas perhimpunan Open Source Geospatial. Itu juga akan melayani suatu instansi independen secara hukum, dimana anggota-anggota perhimpunan itu bisa turut membantu pengkodean, penyediaan dana, dan sumber lainnya. Pastinya dibawah sepengetahuan, bahwa bantuan-bantuan mereka dipertahankan untuk kepentingan umum.

Pada tanggal 4 Februari, OSGeo telah mengadakan pertemuan pertama di Chicago dengan 25 peserta yang mewakili 18 kelompok dan lebih dari 20 proyek berbeda Open Source Geospatial, dan 39 partai lain yang turut ambil bagian melalui Internet Relay Chat. Pada rapat ini para peserta telah mengambil langkah-langkah penting dalam pembentukan dan pengorganisasian sebuah lembaga untuk mengembangkan dan mendukung beberapa teknologi Open Source Geospatial, termasuk penentuan nama lembaga, struktur dan gambaran ke depan. Kesepakatan yang telah dicapai pada pertemuan di Chicago merintis jalan untuk menghasilkan suatu lembaga yang produktif.

Pertemuan Chicago telah menghasilkan juga pengangkatan pertama dewan direksi yang bertanggung jawab atas rancangan dan realisasi anggaran dasar lembaga. Lima dewan direksi pertama berasal dari Amerika Utara dan Eropa mewakili beberapa aneka ragam proyek dan teknologi Open Source. Kelima dewan direksi pertama OSGeo terdiri

* Arnulf Christl - [http://www.mapbender.org Mapbender], CCGIS, Jerman;
* Chris Holmes - [http://www.geoserver.org/ GeoServer]/[http://www.geotools.org/ GeoTools], The Open Planning Project, Amerika Serikat;
* Gary Lang - [http://www.osgeo.org/mapguide/ MapGuide], Autodesk, Amerika Serikat;
* Markus Neteler - [http://grass.itc.it/ GRASS], Istituto Trentino Di Cultura, Italia;
* Frank Warmerdam - [http://www.gdal.org/ GDAL/OGR], Kanada.

Lembaga ini menantikan empat tambahan dewan direksi untuk di tempatkan pada beberapa minggu mendatang, untuk membantu dewan direksi sementara sampai rapat tahunan anggota lembaga berikutnya.

OSGeo berinspirasi dari berbagai macam aspek Apache Foundation (http://www.apache.org) dengan anggota dari beberapa proyek di lembaga, anggota ini dipilih berdasarkan status mereka di dalam suatu lembaga dan bantuan aktif mereka pada bebreapa proyek.

Keanggotaan pertama berdasarkan lima keanggotaan awal ditambah 16 peserta lainnya, yang telah menghadiri pertemuan Organisasi di Chicago.

Lembaga ini mencari 24 anggota tambahan dari perluasan perhimpunan Open Source Geospatial melalui suatu proses pengangkatan terbuka. Anggota tambahan akan dipilih deh anggota tetap pada bulan Februari, beberapa anggota baru akan diumumkan segera setelah disetujui oleh dewan direksi.

Beberapa Proyek OSGeo pertama adalah [http://www.geotools.org/ GeoTools], [http://www.mapbender.org Mapbender], [http://mapbuilder.sourceforge.net/ MapBuilder], [http://www.osgeo.org/mapguide/ MapGuide], [http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/ MapServer], [http://www.gdal.org/ GDAL/OGR], [http://grass.itc.it/ GRASS], dan [http://www.ossim.org/ OSSIM].

Beberapa proyek software OSGeo yang diizinkan dibawah suatu lisensi tertentu Open Source tidak akan diperlukan oleh lembaga, lembaga membutuhkan pengeluaran seluruh OSGeo Software dibawah suatu izin Open Source (Open Source License) yang disetujui oleh the [http://www.opensource.org Open Source Initiative (OSI)]. Target jangka panjang adalah untuk merangsang lisensi yang mengizinkan beberapa proyek yang berbeda untuk bekerjasama lebih baik, ini akan membuat pedoman yang mengatur kontribusi dan intelektual properti, agar dapat dihindarkan penyalahgunaan kode yang dilindungi dan hak Paten di beberapa OSGeo proyek. Beberapa proyek lembaga berfokus pada kemampuan untuk saling bekerjasama, baik didalam suatu proyek itu sendiri, tetapi juga kerjasama antara satu proyek dengan proyek lainnya melalui penggunaan standart terbuka.

Lembaga ini akan mengejar sasaran-sasaran di luar batas pengembangan Software, seperti mempromosikan beberapa jalan masuk (access) ke spatial data yang dihasilkan oleh pemerintah dimana itu adalah sebuah masalah utama di luar Amerika Utara.

Mengenai Lembaga Open Source Geospatial

Lembaga Open Source Geospatial ([http://www.osgeo.org]), suatu organisasi non profit yang misinya adalah untuk mendukung dan mempromosikan Kerjasama Pengembangan Teknologi dan data dari Open Geospatial. Lembaga ini dibentuk untuk mengurus Keuangan, Pengorganisasian dan membantu secara hukum untuk memperluas perhimpunan Open Source Geospatial. Itu juga akan melayani suatu instansi secara hukum, dimana anggota-anggota perhimpunan itu bisa turut membantu Pengkodean, Penyediaan Dana, dan sumber-sumber lainnya.
Pastinya dibawah sepengetahunan bahwa bantuan-bantuan mereka dipertahankan untuk kepentingan umum.
