In our most recent mins that we had a good review of outstanding f2f action items <https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_Meeting_2017-10-05>, one thing we are missing is following up on our well attended, entertaining, annual general meeting.
I am (CCing) the discussion list here as this is a fun update. The main action item is to invite projects and committees who missed the AGM to the next board meeting (Board Meeting 2017-11-02 <https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_Meeting_2017-11-02>). Anita has also identified this as an opportunity to start thinking about next years budget. The slides are here: osgeo-agm <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1T9QRcCdyd8PLQnXB2VfZ2k3ReX-9CH_YXRg0VKqtgeQ/edit?usp=drive_web> We had reports from the board and core officers (or delegate): - president: delegated to helena as vice-president - treasurer - secretary - elections - annual short term position Initiatives: - Website/rebranding - temporary initiative - OSGeo-Live Projects: - GRASS GIS - GeoMOOSE - ORFEO ToolBox - welcome to new graduate! - pycsw - geonode - pywps* - MapServer - ZOO project - brought up external slides - GeoServer *via incubation committee Aside: t*here was some confusion for projects who had had a state-of talk during the conference. The AGM update is focused on the project health and happiness, rather than technology updates.* Local Chapters - OSGeo Korean Chapter - GfOSS.it - OSGeo Ireland - D-A-Ch: FOSSGIS e.V. - OSGeo:UK - OSGeo.JP - geo-spatial.org (OSGeo.RO) - And more - OSGeo Finland Chapter Report - OSGeo Spanish Language Chapter - OSGeo Africa - OSGeo European *Aside: There was a lot of friendly encouragement from the European chapters considering considering bidding for FOSS4G 2019.* *Note: Local chapter updates are the highlight of any AGM (and inspirational). There is no expectation for a report from local chapters - they do not have an officer representative in our organization. I think this makes sense since they are regional in nature and need to have the freedom to incorporate in accordance with local laws*. Committees: - United Nations Committee - GeoForAll - Conference Committee - OpenGeoScience Committee - Marketing Committee - Incubation Committee - GSoC - is this a committee or initiative? -- Jody Garnett
