Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] New incubation procedure

I agree Community Projects is a confusing name.

What about incubator projects? That’s the term that Apache uses.

Well, I'm not particularly fond of "Community Projects" as a name. Even

mature FOSS projects are community projects in one way or the other.

How about "Nascent Projects"?

Vaclav,

Please accept my sincere apologies as it was my mistake that i did not

think on this  when we started the ICA-OSGeo Labs initiative (so many
things were going on at that time!).

In universities, we generally use the "Labs" term to refer to

infrastructure/people/facilities for a particular subject. For example
Botany Lab, Robotics Lab etc. And we wanted to make sure there is a
dedicated Open Source Geospatial Lab in universities worldwide  (which
includes bringing together people from various disciplines, infrastructure
(the physical space) and facilities to make this happen. Also it is easier
to make use of the same terminology/structure of "Labs" which is widely
used in the university environment to get academics start the initiative in
their respective universities (also it is easier for them to convince their
higher management on a structure that is known to them than reinvent a new
term for this) .

So it will very helpful for us if you can make use of new

"OSGeo-projects" and metioned star (or similar) rating system for the
incubation as then there is no confusion in the future. Many thanks for
your consideration.

My idea would rather be to get rid of current OSGeo- "labs" and

Hi Jachym,

do you think that with the renewal you can replace the name "OSGeo Labs"

by something else? Now we have also ISPRS-ICA-OSGeo Research and
Educational laboratories which might be often shortened to OSGeo Labs,
although I prefer OSGeoRELs for writing. The mainling list is

Hello,

I'm trying to find an open source remote sensing software that is able
to perform
atmospheric correction on imagery data. I have minimal programming knowledge
so something that I can operate via a GUI is of preference. Would you be
able to help me or point me in the right direction? It. would also help if
there were tutorials or detailed user manuals included.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [OSGeo-Conf] FOSS4G 2016 host city & Planning to make use of our FOSS4G conferences to launch new Educational initiatives every year

2015-03-04 Thread Suchith Anand 
Congrats to Bonn Team and great work by Dublin Team.

I hope the Dublin Team will apply for FOSS4G 2017 Europe and build up your 
excellent efforts.

Also my humble suggestion for all LOCs (present and future) and to our wider 
community (hence ccing in) is that we see and make use of the global and 
regional conferences not just as events but excellent platforms to launch new 
initiatives.

When we hosted FOSS4G 2013 in Nottingham, the energy and momentum build up the  
whole LOC Team inspired me to launch "Geo for All" Education mission publicly 
without any funding or backup plan. When i look back at that email 
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2013-September/012387.htmli 
thought maybe i was very over ambitious (esp. the targets set for Africa) to 
put these big targets without any funding  but seeing the volunteer commitments 
put in by the whole LOC Team (who had worked hard over the whole year juggling 
their work and family commitments) and the wider FOSS4G community first hand, i 
was fully confident that we will achieve this over the years.

So my suggestion is that from now, we use our conferences (esp. the main global 
conference) to launch new initiatives . From "Geo for All" i can confirm that 
we will be happy to arrange one new educational initiative launch at each 
global FOSS4G conference. We will invite ideas from the community for this and 
select the best ones to announce and launch them.

Best wishes,

Suchith
