[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo code sprint at Big Data from Space 2023, November ?

[Codrina Maria Ilie via Discuss]

Dear OSGeo community,

The European Commission through the Joint Research Center, the EU Satellite Center and the European 
Space Agency organize the Big Data from Space 2023 - BiDS 2023 between 6-9 November, in Vienna, 
Austria (https://www.bigdatafromspace2023.org/).


In the context of the increasing very good interactions between OSGeo and both the EC and ESA, we've 
approached one of the organizers to inquire whether it could be an opportunity to have an OSGeo code 
sprint during the event. We've received a very positive response from their side, proposing multiple 
ways in which they could support the initiative, such as having an OSGeo dedicated room at the venue 
for us to organize ourselves or proposing a Satellite Event 
(https://www.bigdatafromspace2023.org/satellite-events). The discussions are still in a very early 
phase and to go further we'd like to see if there is interest from the community for a Code Sprint 
in November.



Greetings from Bucharest,
Codrina
on behalf of the OSGeo Board.

[OSGeo-Discuss] [info] open tender on open standards and open source tools

[Codrina Maria Ilie via Discuss]

Hi, all,

FYI

There is an open tender aimed to better align existing open source tooling for OGC API Features with 
a number of standards relevant to Dutch government organizations.


This mainly concerns the following standards:
OGC standards: OGC-API-Features Part 1:Core and then the new OGC-API-Features Part 2 about 
coordinate systems.

Dutch API Design Rules : https://publicatie.centrumvoorstandaarden.nl/api/adr/
INSPIRE Requirements : 
https://github.com/INSPIRE-MIF/gp-ogc-api-features/blob/master/spec/oapif-inspire-download.md

Hi all,

Between 6 and 10 of September an open workshop - Open Data Science
Europe workshop - will be organized in Wageningen, The Netherlands. The
event is a 5-day event with the first 2 days of training sessions in
processing data cubes and using machine learning to extract content, and
the following 3 days with oral talks and keynotes.

Due to the current situation, the event will be hybrid, online via Zoom
webinars and streamed live on the OpenGeoHub Youtube channel
[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6HFFFYiV4zEYJlQMIXemWA

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] foss4g and open data event - Open Data Science Europe Workshop

[Codrina Maria Ilie]

Hi, Duncan,

Thanks for sharing the news!

The Open Data Science Europe Workshop is an event organized within the 
framework of an European project, called the Geo-harmonizer 
[https://maps.opendatascience.eu/]. The acronym stands for EU-wide 
automated mapping system for harmonization of Open Data based on FOSS4G 
and Machine Learning. Thus, all tools for data production used/developed 
in the project are open source and all datasets obtained are openly 
licensed - hence the 'foss4g' and 'open data' in the subject of the email.
We know that there are FOSS solutions for hybrid events like this one, 
however the Zoom/Youtube setup has already been successfully tested by 
the organization hosting the event and we don't have enough resources 
(time, people etc.) at this point to change.


Warm regards,
Codrina

Hi Codrina

foss4g sounds exciting, I will certainly promote it via osarch.org.

Can I ask why Zoom and Youtube will be tools for sharing content rather 
than using FOSS tools? That seems like a strange choice for a FOSS 
event. I'm sure the people behind LibrePlanet ( 
https://media.libreplanet.org/ ) and FOSSDEM ( https://fosdem.org/2021/ 
) would be happy to share their experience og hosting huge conferences 
on Free Software platforms that respect privacy and freedom. I attended 
both conferences and they worked very well.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Board] Congratulations and Future collaborations - Board2Board

[Codrina Maria Ilie]

Dear Miriam,

Let me start by warmly congratulate you for your election!
You've got an impressive dedicated track record and I am happy and 
hopeful for even more seeing you in this position.


The HOT goal is as important as, I believe, challenging and I thank you 
for approaching us. The next OSGeo board meeting will be on the 28th of 
December with a focus on the on-boarding topics and we'll also discuss 
our collaboration and forward tentative dates to meet.


All the very best from Bucharest,

Dear Miriam and OSGeo Friends,

Firstly, I want to make it very clear that I offer these thoughts on a

That being said… Congratulations on your election!! I believe that yours 
and HOT’s success in your ‘audacious’ goals will ultimately bring a new 
generation of mappers to the fore! In the coming years, I truly hope 
that we collectively can deliver on the promise that, hopefully, we 
started to collectively define at FOSS4G 2018 in Dar es Salaam.


Your proposal to convene a "Board to Board" is a very interesting one, 
especially as we have unique challenge in front us; I hope that it is an 
event that it would be possible to participate as an observer :-). 
Wishing you the very best in your new role and really hope that we can 
bring the communities closer together :-)

Dear fellow OsGeo Board Members,

First of all I hope this email finds you and your loved ones healthy.
On behalf of the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Board I would like to 
congratulate you for the recent elections and having a diverse Board 
full of talented people (that personally I admire so much!!!).


As you might know in HOT we have the goal to map during the next 5 
years 1 billion people who live in 94 countries which face different 
challenges. Some of the discussions we are having are related  to how 
we can make sure the data created is linked with tools (specially Open 
Source) that can change people's realities.


I would like to have a first approach Board to Board to introduce 
ourselves and find a way to collaborate together in the future.


If you like this idea, I would like to hear your thoughts and set up 
some tentative dates to meet.


Looking forward to start a collaboration,

[OSGeo-Discuss] invitation to check out a new initiative - OSGeo Geolexica

[Codrina Maria Ilie]

Hi all,

I am writing to let you know of a new initiative within our community - 
the OSGeo Glossary - led by the Lexicon committee (in formation) with 
the scope of defining and managing geospatial terms across communities. 
First operative steps have already been made with setting up OSGeo 
Geolexica [1] for managing the lexicon database, as well as an initial 
load of terms that was done by a bulk load from cleaned terms and 
definitions compiled by the GeoForAll group.


The work is done in collaboration with folks from ISO/TC 211, OGC and 
The Good Docs Project [2] that have joined the Lexicon committee, which 
is very constructive given their decades long experience in terminology, 
as well as helping us with cross-organization alignment of concepts or 
avoiding term duplication.


Gracefully helping us with the groundwork are two experienced technical 
writers that I’d like to introduce to our community, Ankita and Naini - 
in cc. Their contributions will support us in doing a clean, sharp job 
when it comes to the actual process of glossary construction.


A next big step for the Lexicon Committee is setting up pilot glossary 
projects for specific OSGeo projects, irrespective of their status, 
incubated, in the process or community. So, if this could be of interest 
to you, please let me, Cameron, Ankita or Naini know or by joining and 
presenting yourself on the Lexicon mailing list [3] or Slack channel [4].



Cheers and stay safe,
Codrina

[OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G2019 - list of all contributions accepted

[Codrina Maria Ilie]

Dear all,

The moment you’ve been all waiting and anticipating is finally here! Who 
will you listen to at FOSS4G2019 Bucharest? Who will dazzle you with a 
brand new concept and who will teach you how to do business with open 
source? What about understanding how this diverse community even 
functions? And what state of the art workshops will you attend? Until 
now, you could only guess, but that time is over!


With great joy we share with you the list of all the awesome submissions 
the Program Committee [1], the Workshop Committee[2] and the Academic 
Committee[3] have selected to build the perfect FOSS4G 2019 conference! 
And what a challenge the selection was! We were keen in having all OSGeo 
projects present, the geographical and gender based diversity of our 
community represented and also keep a fair amount of 
talks/person/company. And, we have a little surprise for you. FOSS4G 
Labs are back! As we have received an impressive number of workshops, as 
much as we had to refuse 50% of submissions, the BLOC tried and 
succeeded in securing space for running 9 labs during the conference. 
Here is the hands-on quick dive into various FOSS topics [4]. We hope 
you will be pleased with our FOSS4G2019 program work.


All the general track and workshops contributors with accepted 
submissions are kindly asked to quickly use their pretalx account (the 
one used to submit the proposal(s)) to confirm their participation to 
FOSS4G2019, so we can build the conference detailed program as swiftly 
as possible.


All the general track and workshops contributors with accepted 
submissions are kindly asked to quickly use their pretalx account (the 
one used to submit the proposal(s)) to confirm their participation to 
FOSS4G2019, so we can build the conference detailed program as swiftly 
as possible.


As we very well understand the important combination between the 
conference program and EarlyBird registration, we will extend the 
EarlyBird registration until 10th of June 24:00 UTC!


Workshops will be available for your choosing when you register in about 
1 – 2 days. As, sadly, we don’t have a mechanism of adding workshops to 
already made registrations, participants will have to make a new 
registration selecting only the workshops.


FOSS4G2019 Bucharest is just 88 days away. Secure your seat [5] to the 
biggest and most animated geospatial event of 2019!


We would like to end by offering the Bucharest Local Organizing 
Committee official apologies to all contributors of FOSS4G2019 for the 
hiccups in the announcement emailing system. We deeply hope the 
situation did not cause any major inconvenience to anyone.

Dear all,

FOSS4G2019 is less than a 100 days away and I know that all of you and 
mostly those that sent contributions to FOSS4G2019 are eagerly  awaiting 
for the submissions' evaluation results.


Please be patient, the announcement emails are on their way. The lag is 
a result of technical limitations for the number of safe emails send/day.


We’ll also make sure that every foss4g2019 contributor will have the 
opportunity to register as an early bird.

[OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G 2019 Bucharest - building the program

[Codrina Maria Ilie]

Dear friends and colleagues,

With great excitement, we announce that today the second major step in 
building the FOSS4G 2019 program has begun!


As the Call for Contributions closed, we were overwhelmed by the great 
response of the community. With joy, we announce that we have received 
295 submissions for the general track and 73 for the workshop section!


The global FOSS4G is the flagship event of OSGeo, a grassroots community

Hello,

this time I follow the process: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Election_2017
* nomination was confirmed with Tönis
* email: Tõnis Kärdi tonis.ka...@gmaail.com
* more information: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:Tkardi



I would like to nominate Tõnis Kärdi from Estonia for OSGeo charter
membership.

Tönis was present at FOSS4G 2016 and FOSS4G Europe 2017 and it was great
to discuss with him. He gave talks on FOSS4G Europe and was involved in
the code sprint.

And he has now the chance to create an Estonian OSGeo Local Chapter and
build up a great local community.

Tõnis has been active in the geo field for approximately 15 years but is
a relative newcomer to the world of osgeo  and works with open data and
open source GIS solutions at his work at Estonian Ministry of
Environment IT Center (KEMIT).

http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:Tkardi

Would be a pleasure to welcome him as a charter member.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] R: [Board] Not graduated OSGeo project...

[Codrina Maria Ilie]

Dear Maxi,

I agree with Maria.

In my understanding, the Data4All initiative should be self standing 
within OSGeo.


My reasons revolve around the idea that open (geo)data extends far 
beyond the public sector (data collected and/or produced by national 
agencies within monitoring activities) or the academic sector (data 
produced and/or collected within various research projects or by 
students for their thesis). OSM, HOT wouldn't really fit in any of the 
mentioned.
Furthermore, open (geo)data extended further than the realm of 
geoscience, thus I think Data4All should be a initiative, project (call 
it as one may) with a broad perspective and not confined within the 
boundaries of what we have now within OSGeo.


My2c.

Cheers,
Codrina

Dear Codrina and Angelos,
as co-chair of the Open Geoscience committe as you showed interest in
re-vitalising the open data stuff, I would like to invite you to form
and lead a specific working group within the Open Geoscience Committee.
We have already set a WG for open monitoring system which is very
oriented to produce Open Data from field observations in "near real time".

I also think it would be great to set-up an OSGeo CKan server for
promoting this and I would be very interested in contributing to this.

please, let me know your opinion on this.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo and Open Data?

[Codrina Maria Ilie]

Dear all,

Probably the best argument for the strong connection between the 
'software development foundation' we fundamentally are and data is the 
talk Arnulf gave at FOSS4G Bonn: Software comes and goes. Mind the Data! 
[https://vimeo.com/187556741]. Furthermore, I believe that the affinity 
between the philosophy of open source and open data is indisputable.


That being said, I would like to mention a discussion me and Vasile 
prepared and facilitated within the workshop 'Open data priorities and 
engagement — identifying data sets for publication' 
[https://www.w3.org/2013/share-psi/workshop/Timisoara/agenda].


Context: workshop organized within the share PSI 2.0 project: The 
network for innovation in European public sector information 
[https://www.w3.org/2013/share-psi/].


The name of our session was Free our Maps and the preparation can be 
found here 
[https://www.w3.org/2013/share-psi/wiki/images/b/b5/Abstract_free_our_maps.pdf]. 
Notes take by Ingo Simonis fron OGC can be found here 
[https://www.w3.org/2013/share-psi/workshop/Timisoara/Freemaps]. The 
issues we tried to tackle there were identified during the work we did 
in the http://geoidea.ro/ project, a project for catalyzing and pushing 
forward the open gov geodata initiative in Romania.


Warm regards,
Codrina

Open data is a big part of what makes this community awesome.

That said OSGeo originally had open data as part of our mandate (with a
committee etc...). This mandate was scaled back last year, to recognize
that OSGeo is now pursuing open data through relationships with other
communities (such as the open layers community).

So to fit in with your theme, OSM / GeoNames / Natural Earth provide the
"open data" and OSGeo provides the "in action".

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2016] Board nomination for Vasile Craciunescu

Dear OSGeo community,

I strongly support Vasile's nomination.

I've known and worked with Vasile for several years now.
Needless to say that apart from his technical and scientific relevant 
skills, his positive energy is beyond limits. Even in times of 
tiredness, he keeps a kind, unbiased eye and year, sharing his 
well-thought-out views with responsibility and politeness.
I think OSGeo would greatly benefit from a second term seen through by 
Vasile.

 Dear Cro,
 please find bellow the nomination for Vasile for this year election
 of OSGeo Board of Director.

 I would like to nominate Vasile Craciunescu for this year election.
 Vasile is a researcher at Romanian National Meteorological
 Administration, he is organizing conferences and workshops using
the
 OSGeo technology and is a convinced and convincing FOSS4G promoter.
 He is very active in the Romanian community, he is one of the
 founder of the OSGeo romanian local chapter and always bring many
 members to the FOSS4G, to both local and international editions.
 Vasile was one of the pioneer, with Jachym, of the FoSS4G-Europe
 conferences after he had organized the second edition the
FOSS4G-CEE
 in his country in Bucharest. He has taken responsibilities in many
 technical tasks for the board to accomplish his task and to
 facilitate the work of every board members. He has a good
experience
 in working and leading research projects, he is the Romanian
 representative in Copernicus User Forum (the European Earth
 observation programme) and the representative of Meteo Romania
at OGC.

 Vasile has proven his dedication to OSGeo over the year and, by
 competing again, he is proving, one more time, his dedication to
the
 foundation.

 Vasile is a community leader and as such should be part of the
Board
 of Director.

 All the best,

FOSS4G technologies since 2006; he is a Charter Member since 2011 and
a Marketing Committee member since 2012.

He co-founded the ZOO-Project, the Open WPS platform, and is part of
its PSC and contributors since 2009. He is also a regular attendee of
global and regional FOSS4G events since 2008, for which he is often
helping on organization and marketing.

Nicolas is a geospatial expert and designer, with complementary
research, development and business experiences. He is also maintaining
a vast network of users, developers and researchers within OSGeo and
also beyond in a broader geospatial community.

Active at project, chapter, conference and committee levels, Nicolas
is strongly committed to open source and has inspiring vision for the
Foundation. He also has a deep understanding of the evolution of OSGeo
into a global volunteer organization and a clear roadmap to further
strengthen our Foundation.

Nicolas has a keen interest in geospatial innovation which he manages
to also leverage for community related issues. His deep insight into
media design, branding and marketing will greatly help OSGeo to grow
as a top class volunteer geospatial organization.

Given his wealth of experience, his international profile and
excellent communication skills, I believe Nicolas would be a great
addition to the OSGeo board.


Best regards,

Markus

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] parcel data in US

[Codrina Maria Ilie]

Hi Jachym,

The first place I would look for USA parcel data is data.gov. The portal 
could be considered as an official gov aggregator of data. Therefore, if 
a gov agency has it then there you should find it (open or just 
reference to it).


Open Knowledge[1] is conducting a worldwide open data census[2]. This 
year, they introduced land ownership info. I am copy-pasting here what 
has been submitted by volunteers on US, related to the subject:


"It does not seem that federal / national government has a database... 
The Bureau of Land Management has a pretty antiquated website[3] that 
does not have a great cadastre survey page. There is a company[4] that 
sells parcel-level data, and a client they note is the government. The 
state of Montana has a pretty good cadastre map[5] and Oregon[6] 
something similar but I don’t think there is a national map that has all 
the aggregated cadastre maps."

I would mention that the submitted info has not yet been reviewed.

for business purpose, I was asked to find out, where we could get some
parcel data in USA - not necessary for free (assumed, we would like to
start our business with the data, reasonable prise is expected).

Could anybody point me to agency/private business company, who is
providing such kind of data? Where would you say is the best starting point?

I want to nominate:

motivations:


It is my great pleasure to nominate Marco Minghini (known as Mingo)
for
OSGeo Charter membership.  Mingo has been an active advocate of Open
Source
GIS software and a regular presenter at FOSS4G events. Recently he
was the
co-organizer of the very successful FOSS4G 2015 Europe at Como,
Italy. He
has been working tirelessly to promote the development of Open Source
software and data in academia and within the COST Networks (an EU funded
inter-disciplinary network that involves almost 30 countries) where
he is
an active member. In July he organized in Como an amazing Training
School
FOSS4VGI - Using Free and Open Source Software with VGI: integration,
analysis and visualisation (supported by the COST Action TD1202 -
Mapping
and the Citizen Sensor initiative), gathering students and young
scientists from all over Europe.  I have known and worked with Mingo for
many years, starting from his bachelor thesis; he was one of my
brightest
students and is now an excellent researcher and promoter of Open Source
geo.  Those who know Mingo know his big bright smile and his endless
enthusiasm.  Please welcome Mingo as an OSGeo Charter member.

For the sake of simplicity I put him in CC, in such a way that he can
directly confirm to be interested in such nomination.

Best regards.
Maria

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [OSGeo Elections 2015] Nomination for Asger Sigurd Petersen

[Codrina Maria Ilie]

+1

I had the opportunity to meet Asger a few years ago and I enjoyed his 
enthusiasm and openness towards his open source work. Over time, he has 
been participating to many foss4g events. Even more, I remember that at 
FOSS4G 2013, his map won 'Best open source integration' and 2. place in 
'Best overall cartographic display'.
He has been actively involved in organizing the first Danish QGis Dev 
Conference this year [1].
I think that through his interests, contributions and organizing 
activities, Asger deserves to be named a Charter Member of OSGeo.



All the best,

It is my pleasure to nominate Asger Sigurd Petersen

Denmark, as an OSGeo Charter Member.  Asger is a long-time FOSS4G vocal
advocate and developer in the Danish community.  When the Danish
national mapping agency (Danish Geodata Agency) released all of their
data as Open, Asger and others formed Septima, a company focusing on
delivering innovative solutions to Danish citizens through Open software
and Open data.  Asger is also involved in several OSGeo projects,
contributing patches and plugins for QGIS, GDAL, and others.

Asger is very well spoken, in several languages, and has been presenting
at the global FOSS4G events for many years.

I ran into Asger in the hallway of FOSS4G-Como, and it was once of the
most interesting talks I had that week, hearing his opinions on Open
data and Open software.

Please welcome Asger's passion and knowledge into the OSGeo foundation,
as a Charter member.

programming chatting. FOSS4G-CEE 2013 is no exception. Therefore, On 
Thursday the 20th of June, we’ll bring comfy hacking spaces with one of 
the greatest view over Dâmbovița river, wireless internet, pizza and 
beverages. You bring your high spirits, enthusiasm and ideas. In our 
attempt to make the Code Sprint Day as best as possible, we prepared a 
wiki page where we kindly invite you to write your name and a short 
project/idea description.
