Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Re: OSGeo Board Election 2010 Results
Hi Tim, I'm sure we'll talk lots more about your questions shortly but a couple things while I have a few minutes... I don't recall the board list requiring approval. Note there are a couple other lists with the term 'board' in them I think, maybe you chose to join one lof those accidentally. I will double check for you though. It's worth noting on the discuss list that *EVERYONE* is welcome to join the board list and participate in discussions there: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/board There is also a rarely used private board alias used that one of us with systems access will have to add you guys to. The board meets once a month in IRC. To vote on some items/motions they will also flip over to use a skype call to vote by voice when needed. The president acts as chair and I usually take the minutes and try to rally any stragglers. Meeting agendas and minutes are all posted on the wiki: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board That's probably enough for now and any time you can put into the face to face meeting will be very useful too. A few scheduling/announcement items have fallen through the crack this past month as a couple of us have been on extended holidays. Sorry for not laying this stuff out sooner!

[OSGeo-Discuss] Re: OSGeo Board Election 2010 Results
All- I'm excited to start serving as a new board member. Thanks for the votes. Current members- Are there any details new members should know? I've just put in a subscription request for the Board list (http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/board/). Looks like that is pending approval. I've also just come across the wiki page about the F2F meeting (http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Face_to_Face_Meeting_Barcelona_2010). I regret that I didn't know about this earlier, as I would have made different arrangements. As it is, I am leaving early Sunday and had made plans for Saturday. I put my name down and can try to make it for a good part of the meeting (or all). Let me know if there is anything else we should be aware of as new board members.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Commercial support (Company profile improvement options)
That is indeed tricky. Since support includes both community and paid but support is the more likely term used in searching we might need to rethink the navigation strategy to have a page specific to "Support that mentions both and links to the service providers and the other forms of support.

All, I know this has to be created and managed somehow, but here are some ideas on this: * Could there be some way of collecting business information related to not only OpenSource software but also a means for companies to describe themselves in their own words, even as it pertains to non-open products, as these are often a concern when bidding on projects. * A simple one pager type of thing, listing software (open and proprietary, possibly with the Open source stuff highlighted and linked) and a general company resume, maybe even including a link section for past projects. * Inclusion of the prospective company logo on the profile page. * A list of company partners. * It would be real nice as a company owner for example, to be able to link directly to a OSGEO "support" registry page. I think a system like this would keep things updated regularly. I keep forgetting the entry is even in there for my interests because I don't touch it enough. Some possible enhancements to such a business registry: * A means to link back to the prospective companies information pages directly, then the information only needs to be built once. Is there a Company Resume data format standard for this already?) * A method of standardizing the data constructs for such an information page so that the same company profile could be used for other similar discovery mechanisms like the proprietary side of the equation. Who has experience with Oracle and PostGIS, etc. Is this sounding like it does to me, like a Project unto itself, like LiveDVD? Such an enhancement should be able to be populated by the existing data initially, and then expanded upon by each business. Is there some similar project already out there that might be leveraged for the same tasks? bobb On 9/3/2010 6:52 AM, Paolo Cavallini wrote: Il 03/09/2010 11:49, Sebastian E.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Commercial support
Well, while we're mentioning specific companies... OA Digital (http://oadigital.net) provides assistance and support on a wide range of OSGeo solution components. Even support for solutions still encumbered with legacy stuff. Actually a Google search in your native language or with your country of residence appended for " support" should get you a whole bunch of people who can help. And help to the level that only, for example, Oracle can help with Oracle stuff i.e. there is more support out there for open source solutions than there are for closed ones.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Commercial support
Hi Guys, I generalize here a question that I have posted in the Mapserver-user mailing list, as it concerns the whole OSGeo world and not only MapServer. Some companies choose commercial software such as Oracle MapViewer, Oracle Spatial etc.. because they offer the security of commercial support. So if the companies have any problem configuring it (or any other problem) they will use the support that they have paid for. IT engineers in general can learn for them self and with the help of the community support (mailing list) they are able to solve virtually any problem. And the OSGEO mailing lists are the perfect examples of that. Nevertheless, CEOs and boards of directors still need some kind of security and they prefer to use software that provide commercial support. Are you guys aware of companies that provide commercial support for OSGeo ? thanks, -- Sebastian E.
