Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Projects] OSGeo Budget 2021

2021-01-27 Thread Jody Garnett 
With the topic of sponsorship also in the mix perhaps we can add a column
for "donations/sponsorship" for the different projects and committees.
This would communicate the budget each is working with, the commitment from
osgeo, and the financial support from their community.

[Banner announcing 2021 Joint ASF – OGC – OSGeo Code 
Sprint]

Contact: i...@ogc.org

27 January 2021: The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), the Apache Software 
Foundation 
(ASF),
 and Open Source Geospatial Foundation 
(OSGeo)
 invite software developers to a joint Virtual Code Sprint on the 17th-19th of 
February, 2021. The code sprint will run from 7:00am EST until 5:30pm US 
Eastern each day. Registration for the Code Sprint is 
here.

The code sprint will cover multiple ASF, OSGeo projects, and OGC standards - 
including OGC 
API
 standards, the “Building Blocks For Location.” All OGC, 
OSGeo,
 and 
ASF
 projects and working groups are invited to participate. This Sprint is open to 
the general public, even if you are not active members or contributors to the 
efforts of the hosting organizations.

A Code Sprint is a collaborative and inclusive event driven by innovative and 
rapid programming with minimal process and organization constraints to support 
the development of new applications and candidate standards.

To prepare for the code sprint, a webinar will be held on the 12th of February, 
2021, at 10:00am US Eastern. The webinar will set out the scope of the code 
sprint and provide an overview of the participating groups.

The goal of the code sprint is to advance support of open geospatial standards 
within the developer community, whilst also advancing the standards themselves. 
Therefore, the code sprint will enable software developers to focus on projects 
that implement open geospatial standards for a period of three days.

There will be an opportunity for joint discussion with other participants, as 
well as daily briefings from each project and working group. However, the 
majority of the time will be spent in collaboration between participants in 
active coding.

A GitHub repository for the code 
sprint
 has been created for participants in the event.

This Sprint is open to the general public, even if you are not active members 
or contributors to the efforts of the organizers. To register please visit the 
2021 Joint ASF – OGC – OSGeo Code Sprint registration 
page
 on the OGC Portal. Registration closes at 9:00am US Eastern on February 16th, 
2021.



Sprint Sponsorship

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the sprint will be held online only. The only 
costs expected are the web hosting and web-conferencing infrastructure costs.

In order to cover these costs, the following sponsorship levels are available:

  *   Gold: 1700 USD
  *   Silver: 850 USD

Sponsors will benefit from:

  *   Sponsors' logos placed on the sprint website as well as on all official 
presentations used during the sprint
  *   Acknowledgement in blog posts and the report summarizing the outcome

[OSGeo-Discuss] [OSGeoLive] OSGeoLive 14.0 status: beta1

2021-01-27 Thread Angelos Tzotsos 

Hi all,

Today we are releasing the first beta of OSGeoLive 14.0.
This release includes many package updates on top of Lubuntu 20.04.1 
(from DebianGIS and UbuntuGIS) and is expected to be stable enough. Many 
thanks to all the volunteers that are helping us to build this distribution.


For OSGeoLive 14.0 our plan is to release 2 versions of the distribution:
 * the bootable iso which will include 90% of the projects due to file 
system limitation and
 * the virtual machine version which will include all the available 
projects and some extra features that would not fit into the iso (e.g. 
libreoffice, extra developer packages, extra documentation etc)


The OSGeoLive team would like to ask the community for testers, since 
our plan is to move to RC stage in about a month.
Please download [1], [2], test and report any issues found [3]. Change 
log available at [4].


On behalf of the OSGeoLive team,
Angelos
