Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Flickr FOSS4G and OSGeo photo history deadline Feb 5th

[Jody Garnett]

Ian can I ask where you backed your photos up to? The only thing i use
flickr for is joining the osgeo group, and would *love* to see our group
photos backed up somewhere.

 As covered on discuss a couple months ago, And covered in the board
 meeting on Monday:

 Our OSGeo, FOSS4G and FOSS4G-NA photos on flicker may be reduced on Feb
 5th as some photos are removed.

 Since these photos were shared with our groups we do not really know
 which ones will be removed. Photographers are asked to subscribe with a
 monthly fee (or have a limit of 1000 photos).

 It is not really possible for us as a group to do much, which is a
 shame for the internet as Flickr has a wide range of CC images (since they
 did a good job of explaining open licenses and making them easily to use.)

 Q: Can we throw the images on OSGeo next cloud?

 Q: Should we only copy the CC images? Or should we copy everything and
 try and reach authors before sharing?

 Aside: Many participants missed the CC license step - which is too bad
 as it is a good “first time” experience at contributing open content.

 Q: Anyone know of an API we could use to grab our images?

 Q: Any other Flickr groups we should capture for our history?

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] GSoC 2020 need new Lead Admin to take over

[Rajat Shinde]

Dear OSGeo Community Members and OSGeo GSoC Admins,

Greetings!

Sincere thanks to all the Admins for their constant help and support
throughout the past years in organizing the Summer of Code. For me, GSoC
plays a very important part of my career and I feel it would be same for a
lot of us.

Having mentioned that, I personally believe that it would be sad if the
GSoC is not continued. I feel that this also calls for an opportunity to
people like me who can jump into new shoes under the guidance of ex-Admins
to carry forward the continous open-source contribution in the geospatial
domain under the umbrella of the OSGeo.

So, I would be honored to be a part of the GSoC Admin team. It would be a
great learning experience for me and a progressive step moving ahead in my
life. In the past, I have completed GSoC 2017 as a student under the OSGeo
(MapMint project). I also got an amazing opportunity to co-mentor the
projects for MapMint in 2018 and 2019. Unfortunately, I missed out the
opportunity to be a part of the OSGeo representative committee for the GSoC
Mentor Summit in 2019 due to visa issues. Currently, I am mentoring for the
OSGeo Google Code-in.

Before taking this step, I wanted to be sure that I would be able to carry
forward this responsibility and hence, I tried to do a bit of research on
the basis of conversations stored in the Archives. Please be assured that I
am making a well thought decision, and my commitment in this new endeavour
is 100%.

Thanks!

[OSGeo-Discuss] Rails Girls Summer of Code 2020 projects

[Karl Dickinson]

-- Please reply above this line --
---
## Karl sent a message, on Jan 27 @ 3:53pm (UTC):

Hello,

My name is Karl, lead contact for Rails Girls Summer of Code [1], a
program run by Travis Foundation [2] aiming to improve diversity and
opportunities in tech for people from underrepresented groups.

We're currently appealing for open source projects to apply to RGSoC
2020 and would love for members and friends of the OSGeo Foundation
community to get involved.

This may be especially of interest to those of you familiar with
Google's Summer of Code. As a global program, I wanted to reach out to
OSGeo chapters all around the world to offer you the opportunity to
get involved.

WHAT'S IT ABOUT?
Rails Girls Summer of Code provides experienced-beginner level female
and non-binary coders scholarships to work on established open source
projects. Students, who can apply from anywhere in the world, work
alongside their mentor and coaches from July-September. They gain
valuable skills and experience while OS projects benefit from their
contribution.

I include further information below this email. Full details can be
found at https://railsgirlssummerofcode.org/ [3].

SUBMIT YOUR OPEN SOURCE PROJECTS
It would be awesome if anyone working on an OS project that could be a
great fit for the program would consider being a mentor this year.
Projects can be submitted to our Teams App [4] until 10 February 2020.

The project can be in any programming language, it is not restricted
to Rails.

Our guide for mentors [5] contains everything project maintainers need
to know but if you or they have any further questions please do not
hesitate to contact me.

Could you help us spread the word among your community? It really
would be appreciated. Even a retweet [6] or share on Facebook [7]
would be extremely helpful.

Many thanks and kind regards,
Karl

 

Rails Girls Summer of Code will return in 2020 for its 7th edition,
continuing our mission to bring more women and non-binary people into
Open Source. 

In 2018 we introduced part-time scholarships and received a staggering
195 applications from student teams for the 13 places we could offer,
with 7 full- and 6 part-time teams participating.

Here are some choice statistics from the first 6 years: 

RGSoC is not confined to any programming language. In the past, we
have had project submissions in Javascript, Python, PHP, Rust,
Clojure, Ruby, Java, C++ and more. 

According to a survey conducted among our students in 2017, more than
half continue to contribute to Open Source after the season. Over 90%
of participants end up in a technical position in the industry, most
of the time as developers. We want to build on this success.

We also invite you to follow RGSoC on Twitter [8] and Facebook [9] and
help us reach out across the globe.
