Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Mentors money

[Margherita Di Leo]

Vicky, why are you saying that?
Mentors money have been so far used as was agreed upon by mentors some
years ago, that is, to donate them to osgeo. Any different proposal should
be agreed upon by all active mentors serving the current year.
I have proposed in two mailing lists to come up with a common proposal, you
have ignored my emails and went on saying that mentors money is not mentors
money.
What is your alternative proposal? What are you requesting?

 Dear Vicky,

 Before going into your question; decisions to spend money on
 codesprints or student conference attendance has not been part of the
 Marketing Committee remit.

 Perhaps the Board can decide on the what/where/how of this type of
 support?

 By suggestion of Margherita I tried to move it to marketing, but it

 To: osgeo-gsoc-ment...@googlegroups.com


 Dear Vicky, Maxi, all,

 The money that OSGeo gets from Google is this year 500USD per student.
 Before i was admin and also before i acted as a mentor, this matter was
 discussed among the mentors at the time, whether to distribute the money
 among the mentors or to destinate them to another use, being this decision
 up to the organizations participating in gsoc. As far as i can tell, the
 problem of distributing the money to the mentors was to make a lot of small
 payments of which a considerable part would be eaten by bank transfers and
 currency changes. So it was agreed that the whole sum should be used to
 support code sprints instead.
 Now, if you guys think this should be discussed over again, you're
 welcome, but this would apply to next year's budget, and should be agreed
 upon by all mentors.
 My personal opinion: I think it more useful to use the budget for a
 common purpose rather than distributing it in small amounts, for example if
 you don't like it destinated to code sprints, would be to use it for
 financial support for students to attend conferences. For example at fosdem
 we have been organizing the geospatial session and i have every year
 invited our gsoc students to present their works but they couldn't afford
 the travel and accommodation.
 Google also gives 500USD for supporting students travel to conferences,
 you mentors will be asked to propose a name of a deserving gsoc student and
 an event that he or she would like to attend and in case of multiple names
 we will either split the aid or choose among the students. Last year if I
 remember correctly this call was made directly to mentors by google to
 provide names to them of deserving students, but i'm not aware if anyone of
 osgeo made the request or got funded.
 Back to your specific request, Vicky, I suggest you address this to the
 osgeo marketing committee , that is administering osgeo's budget, and they
 should be able to give you an answer.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Mentors money

[Massimiliano Cannata]

Jody,
it was never an option to choose if donating the money or not. Someone
decided on the past and this option was never asked to mentors...
I assumed this was part of the game: get one slot by OSGeo and it retains
the mentor's money...

But to me make sense to let project use them for their growing and
promotion, for example I would use them to make t-shirt with istSOS and
OSGeo logos for the community... :-)

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Mentors money

[Jody Garnett]

Trying to hunt through my email, it has been a long time since I did GSOC.
I think it was $500 to OSGeo for each project mentored (really not sure if
that is still the case).

 Google also gives 500USD for supporting students travel to conferences,
 you mentors will be asked to propose a name of a deserving gsoc student and
 an event that he or she would like to attend and in case of multiple names
 we will either split the aid or choose among the students. Last year if I

 provide names to them of deserving students, but i'm not aware if anyone of
 osgeo made the request or got funded.
 Back to your specific request, Vicky, I suggest you address this to the
 osgeo marketing committee , that is administering osgeo's budget, and they
 should be able to give you an answer.

I think at the least we might want to consider giving that money or some 
of it back to the project that did the mentoring and let them decide how 
to use it with some guidelines on use. OSGeo as the sponsoring 
organization should probably get some of it to defray effort of organizing.


Just my 2 cents, after mentoring 8+ students.

Hi all: I would like to nominate Micah Wengren [1] for OSGeo Charter
Membership.  Micah is with the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration and has been a proponent of open source at NOAA (GeoNode,
GeoServer) since 2007. He has been a core committer to the GeoNode project
since 2014.

More recently, he has been active in the open data community, deploying,
developing, and supporting open source software for data discovery within
NOAA and in supporting other US Federal agencies through implementation of
the Federal GeoCloud interagency pilot project from 2012 to 2015.  Currently
he contributes to the open source software ecosystem of the US Integrated
Ocean Observing System (IOOS) [2] to publish ocean observations and forecast
products for US coastal waters.

Micah would be an asset to OSGeo charter membership given his background and
interest in FOSS4G.

 Hi Viky and all,
 sorry to be direct (as always :-D) but..

 As far as I know, nobody ever used the mentor money.
 They were always, silently (I hear some rumors on this), retained by
 OSGeo as organization.

 If is possible to use that money, I think this should be clearly stated
 along with the procedure to access it.
 As long term istSOS mentor, i would also be interested in using these
 money to support dissemination of the project.

 Regards,
 Maxi

therefore I've tried to "translate" it. 

My concern is to change it in the middle of the nomination and voting

Helmut,

The word "hostile" is a bit unfortunate. One of the goals of charter
membership early in the organization was to provide a mechanism to
keep us aligned on roughly our original mission and community. I
personally had a concern that we might get swamped by some other
community and almost accidentally taken over. For instance one might
have imagined if all the folks interested in OSM joined OSGeo they
might have accidentally swamped "us" and we would potentially have
lost the goals of the organization.

Best regards,
Frank

Sara based on the discussion do you have a recommendation for rewording? As
a temporary measure I have added a link to the wikipedia page provided.

The other change made for 2017 was to clarify the diversity section (so it
was not just about diversity of programming language and interests) -
stronger language is needed here.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] "Hostile Takeover" -- what do we mean by this?

[Jody Garnett]

This was something that was explained to me in f2f meeting in 2016.

Apparently other non-profits have had a situation where new members from a
specific community or point of view are voted in due to lax requirements
and come to dominate the board selection process. The wording "hostile" is
a bit unfortunate, a takeover could happen without ill intent because *there
is lots of good our community wants to do in the world*.

An easy example is the "osgeo irrelevant threads" where participants
question if a OSGeo needs to be a software foundation. While our software
foundation is gradually taking on more scope, it would be a shame to lose
site of our primary focus. Specifically we have grown to take on open
geospatial advocacy where the principles we have learned with open source
are being applied to new areas (open source, open standards, open data,
open development ... and now open education and open science).

One strength we have is two pronged approach allowing OSGeo to remain
focused while local chapters tackle regional and national challenges to the
adoption of open geospatial, and initiatives and partnerships take on the

The term comes from the the business world:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeover#Hostile

In the OSGeo context there was concern early on that OSGeo would be the
public puppet of a single company or entity. In particular if the
majority of board members worked for the same entity, or if a single
entity was a majority sponsor of the Foundation. From that perspective
the Charter members who elect the board need to pay attention to the
affiliations of who they elect to the board, and ensure the interests of
the foundation, and it's mission to protect it's member projects is the
top priority. Keep in mind that some projects have their Intellectual
Property 'owned' by OSGeo, which means in an extreme case the board
could re-license those projects to a non free and open source license.

I have no opinion on if and how to reword, or incorporate that more into
the the bylaws. As stated it's really a guidance/reminder to uphold the
original mission of the and maybe should be worded that way, with
hostile takeover as an example.

Thanks,
Alex

[OSGeo-Discuss] "Hostile Takeover" -- what do we mean by this?

[Sara Safavi]

Hi discuss,

In the notification emails from CRO to new charter member nominees, the
following is included (emphasis mine):

*"(Charter Members) have the following responsibilities: (1) annually vote
for OSGeo Board Members; (2) annually vote for new OSGeo Charter Members
and (3) be aware of and protect against a hostile takeover of OSGeo."*

I have had more than one nominee of mine contact me asking what exactly
this means. I agree with their concerns: this is strange language to use,
is not reflected in our bylaws, and frankly does not fit the image I
presented when I first contacted them asking if they would accept a
nomination.

It may be a language barrier or simply a misunderstanding, but can we
clarify what is meant by using this kind of verbiage, and consider a
re-wording?

Thanks,
Sara

I don't mind a change, if anyone wants to lead one.

I have never used Google Photos, so I have no idea if it can aggregate

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] list of open source software for spatial risk modeling (prediction)

[Silvia Franceschi]

Dear Shawn,
the project you presented seems to be very interesting and helpful for all.
I had a quick look at the article you linked and, even if I didn't
investigated in deep which kind of processing tools you will need to do, I
can add to your list the Free and Open Source tools that are integrated in
the gvSIG desktop GIS (www.gvSIG.org):
- the JGrassTools library, which have tools for the analysis of vector and
raster data (http://moovida.github.io/jgrasstools/ -
https://blog.gvsig.org/2017/03/02/on-the-road-to-gvsig-2-4-jgrasstools-and-geopaparazzi-plugins-for-gvsig-desktop/
)
- the Geoprocessing toolbox of gvSIG itself (
http://downloads.gvsig.org/download/web/en/build/html/user_manual/2.3/manual/040.html)
which contains a lot of additional analysis tools especially on vector data.

If you have more specific questions or if you have/nee to find geospatial
data to analyse and have an idea on which kind of analysis you would do,
feel free to contact me in private and I will be very happy to help you for
this research.

Best regards

Silvia

Hi All,

There are two 'official' OSGeo groups on Flickr:

OSGeo [1] (the community)
FOSS4G [2] (the conference)

Both have been there for very long time now.

While the FOSS4G group is maintained by 7 admin members,
I am the only admin of the OSGeo group.

If anyone wants to join me as OSGeo group admin,
please let me know (include your Flickr username).

There is not much/nothing to do most of the time,
but multiple admins will prevent the potential bus factor
and will help to answer join requests.

It is my pleasure to nominate Dr. Rafael Moreno-Sanchez, from USA, as an OSGeo 
Charter Member.  Rafael  is working at the Department of Geography and 
Environmental Sciences at the University of Colorado Denver, USA [1].


Rafael is also very active contributor in the OSGeo's GeoForAll initiative . 
Rafael Moreno led the effort to establish the FOSS4G lab which opened in 2014 
in the Department of Geography and Environmental Sciences at the University of 
Colorado , USA  to fulfill a growing demand for education, research and service 
in Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial applications (FOSS4G) 
development and applications by citizens, businesses, governments, educators, 
students, researchers and geospatial working professionals in the Front Range 
of Colorado and beyond at University of Colorado Denver and constantly 
assisting educators and students.

Rafael also initiated and leads the GeoForAll's "Open Geospatial Science & 
Applications" webinar series [2].  These webinars (and recordings) are viewed 
by hundreds of people around the world and helped us to spread the ideas and 
philosophy of Openness in GeoEducation and Research. We are very grateful for 
his contributions and help.

Thank you Rafael for accepting my request for nomination and  for your 
contributions to our community.

Best wishes,

Suchith

I want to nominate Mark Iliffe as charter member of OSGeo.

Mark has a lot of experience both as researcher and as a consultant of 
important organizations, like World Bank.
His main activities have been in coordinating mapping in developing countries 
examining the emergent phenomenon of community mapping and volunteered.

Das Ramani Huria, one of the project which has been seeing him involved as a 
main actor, is considered as a best practice for developing (and probably could 
also be for developed) countries.

He is also invited delegate to the United Nations Committee of Experts on 
Global Geospatial Information Management (UN GGIM) as an expert on Volunteered 
Geographic Information and geography in emerging countries.

He organised the 2013 FOSS4G Conference as a member of the local organising 
committee and is one of the two chairs of FOSS4G 2018 in Dar Es Salaam.

OSGEO will greatly benefit of the presence of Mark in our community.

Hi CRO,

I would like to nominate Tom Chadwin (tom.chad...@nnpa.org.uk 
) as a charter member of OSGeo. Tom is 
the author of QGIS2Web (https://github.com/tomchadwin/qgis2web), which 
is any incredibly valuable tool, key in enabling a lot of new people to 
get involved with open source web mapping. Tom is also an extremely 
valuable member of the OSGeo community in the UK, successfully promoting 
open source geospatial use in his National Park Authority and beyond.


Thanks

Jo

Hello

I would like to nominate Arne Schubert for OSGeo charter membership.

Arne is active in the Mapbender Project & in the YAGA Development Team.

He was involved in FOSSGIS events and organized the OSGeo & OSM 
Subconference at FrOSCon last week. He is a great value for OSGeo, 
FOSSGIS and FOSS4G.


He may get involved in GSoC next year and get involved in OGC Specs.

And one thing I do not want to keep secret is that he talks about Docker 
every day ;)
