Hi everyone, a recent chat I was asked about our vision for OSGeo over
the next 3 and 5 years. I'd really like to hear thoughts on the matter
and pool a few of the ideas together for further discussions amongst
committees, projects, chapters and the board.
It's also a good way for the board
What I'd like to see within the next 5 years would be more analytical
tools. Most of the projects in OSGeo are very much enablers: they put
the facilities in place for people to program their own tools. However,
as I have noticed over the years, people are reluctant to move to open
source
I received a surprising number (+20) of responses to this, many off-list. My
unscientific summary is as follows:
* some people responded privately, indicating they do not have insurance and
would rather I not
publicize the issue lest their erstwhile employees suddenly take notice :-)
* in
OSGeo Members,
The OSGeo Board Election for 2009 is now underway. The first stage is
the nomination of candidates for the board. Board membership is for a
two year term, and half the Board is refreshed each year. This year
there are five seats up for election.
Thank you for the summary MPG. The logic described in the example
response seems quite sensible.

Having contracted as both a sole proprietorship and a corporation, I'd
qualify that one. Sole proprietorship is easy, but.

Best of both worlds... LLC. Fall through taxation, but offers protection
too.

Libraries and tools that can be used across different OSGEO apps.
data format libraries - done!
algorithm/analytic libraries = +1 . GRASS has an extensive collection.
Would be good for other OSGEO projects to reuse them.
cartographic libraries = +1
