Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] planning for an osgeo local chapter in the Philippines
Just to add to Arnulf's message: you might want to start by creating a wiki page your Philippine chapter, similar to the Vietnam chapter (http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Vietnam). Be sure to include the tag [[Category:Local Chapters]] in your wiki page so that your chapter page appears on: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Category:Local_Chapters You can also request for your own mailing list hosted by OSGeo...and you can follow Arnulf's advice to ask these requests/questions on the Local Chapter list. I'm happy to see a new chapter forming in your country! :) -jeff -- Jeff McKenna MapServer Consulting and Training Services http://www.gatewaygeomatics.com/ On 11-05-12 10:20 AM, Seven (aka Arnulf) wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 maning sambale wrote: Dear everyone, We are planning to start the osgeo local chapter in the Philippines.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Introduction to geospatial open source event at FOSS4G
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I would be interested in contributing to this introductory day. We have been doing this in Germany since 2003 with great success. I could imagine to give a talk about Open Source, Free Software, associated concepts and the business modles around it. Or give an overview of use cases in large installation in Germany, Austrid, Switzerland and the UK. Just let me know whether you are interested. Best regards, Arnulf Peter Batty wrote: Hi all, This has already been mentioned on the FOSS4G list, but I wanted to make sure that everyone was aware that we'll be a doing a one day introduction to geospatial open source event the day before the main conference starts, in parallel with the pre-conference workshops. This will be aimed at a broad audience, but in particular at users, developers and managers involved with geospatial software / GIS who haven’t yet had significant involvement with open source. It will work equally well as a standalone event, or as a way of getting up to speed to get the most out of the full FOSS4G conference. More details at http://2011.foss4g.org/intro-details/. If you know of people who could benefit from this, please let them know! We'll be publicizing it through various channels. The event is being organized by Brian Timoney, who has previously run several similar events locally. We have several speakers lined up already, and we'll be looking over the abstracts submitted to the main conference also, and may ask some people to participate based on those. If you have suggestions or interest in participating feel free to contact Brian or myself.

It's a good question and I didn't capture that kind of information - though I did skim through the list of emails that were provided and I didn't notice too many .edu or related addresses, but that's not definitive for sure. There is another set of questions around improvements that tied in nicely too. The takeaway from my perspective - majority of voters think docs/training material need significant improvement and that they believe having OSGeo software in the labs at academic institutions is a good idea. I am guessing that business didn't score higher on the first question simply because most businesses aren't thinking that they need OSGeo to do something to help them. Lots more conversation to have to get our finger on the true pulse there though too! It's going to be a fun summer hashing through some of these ideas for sure.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] A few survey stats
Are you thinking more like looking for ways to encourage new developers or to specifically funding new development? I've always had the sense that, organisationally speaking, it's harder to do specific things like that since OSGeo doesn't really get involved in the development side of the projects (outside of incubation requirements). My other sense has assumed that the projects themselves know the best ways to help enlist more programmers or find funding for more programming - but I've been wrong before! There were one or two comments in the survey suggesting that OSGeo should NOT be so outward focused (e.g. into marketing the projects), but should be focused more on software development. I struggle to wrap my mind around this since I have always seen OSGeo's goal as primarily for outreach to get the software products into more hands. As far I can recall, no one ever said hey, we should start an organisation to improve development and share a code repository - since the projects had been chugging away pretty well long before the .org ever existed. Instead the idea was to collaborate on outreach, with shared web services and project-level sponsorship programs being a nice side effect. My memory might be selective here though, I am aging. ;) I don't think that's where you were aiming though, but would love to hear more details about what you were thinking. Make sense? Thanks!

You can still chime in with your thoughts on the direction and priorities for OSGeo: http://bit.ly/osgeosurvey The first two questions were around priority target areas, basically constituents/groups/areas that we should, collectively, spend more time working with e.g. Academic, business, government, etc. The first question just asked if they were good ideas and the results were all pretty much positive - but with Academic development coming out on top with the highest number of this is important votes. The second question forced voters to make a decision and rank the ideas from least to most important. Again, Academic development came out on top. I'll crunch some more stats later, but thought you might find this graph interesting. Sorry if you don't like 6 axis graphs :) See the graph: http://bit.ly/osgeosurvey2 The area within the blue line represents those who voted unimportant for the topic and within the red line those who voted important. These are aggregates of least important, low importance vs fairly, very, most important. Marginal importance was ignored for this graph. Note the larger the gap between the red and blue lines on an axis shows a greater difference in voting preference. The two rings represent 50% and 100% of votes. Even from this perspective it shows a very strong support for the academic idea, with Government in second. Then Open Standards and Open Data. Not a perfect summary but it's got me thinking and thought you might find it interesting too. More to come when I get a chance to dig through the numbers.
