Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Broken GPG signatures (was: Change in mailing list configuration)

[Jorge Sanz via Discuss]

On 2024-02-01 7:00, Sandro Santilli via Discuss wrote:

Check the headers if you want to compare. Which headers are DKIM signed ? By 
whom ? What address is in the From header ?

The GPG issue is related to how the MUA searches for a public key associated 
with the From address, which is always an @osgeo.org address for messages 
coming to this mailing list.

I should have not signed an email sent to a mailing list knowing that it 
would mess things since the list modifies headers and content. It just 
makes no sense.


Apologies everyone for the noise.

Dear Jorge,

thanks a lot for info, much appreciated. I have an OSGeo login and I 
am able to create a ticket.


If I understood you correctly, then [2] is the more general 
discussion, but I could open already a ticket for Estonia, referencing 
[2] saying Estonia would like a QGIS Estonia Discourse place, and we 
are happy to joint/await the discussion how to organise this in general?


Best,

Alex

Yep please, go ahead and create a ticket with your group specifics.

If your group is about QGIS then there's already a category for you at 
[1] hosting at this moment only QGIS-fr discussions. If your group is 
not going to host more broad OSGeo discussions then you can track the 
discussion I started.

Dear OSGeo admin team,

we from Estonia haven't had a mailing list before and wanted to 
consider to apply for a qgis or osgeo mailing list for Estonia. Now 
with the Discourse option, we would be really keen to get a QGIS 
usergroup forum for our Estonian community.


How can we "apply" ?

Best,

Alex


Hi Alex, thanks for your request.

Usually asking for new mailing lists has been discussed at OSGeo 
Trac[1]. I think we can do the same for Discourse. Please feel free to 
open a new ticket there for a focused discussion on your needs or let me 
know and I can open it for you.


I've opened a ticket about creating a parent category for all 
chapters[2]. I could create the Estonia category right away but better 
decide on the place for all this type of discussions and then we can 
give you the space to not open chances for confusion to your colleagues.


Cheers!

renewed, after many years (10?) of inactivity. The style is the same (yes, from 
the beginning of this century), but the data is now up to date. It includes 
modern formats that didn't exist back then like WKT2 or PROJJSON. As Howard

generate the webpage (and the webpage itself) is at

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Mailing lists to discourse migration

[Jorge Sanz via Discuss]

Hi Vicky, allVicky, can you please confirm that Discourse can be used from 
email so members of migrated lists like QGIS-Fr can keep interacting with the 
community on the new system from their mails as before, just using a different 
email address?I've seen your tests, but it'd be nice if you can provide more 
reassurance on this front.For what it is worth, Discourse is a mature Open 
Source discussion software that has been used for years now. Many Open Source 
projects, private companies, etc. are using it like OpenStreetMap, GNOME, 
Elastic, Atlassian, Ruby on Rails, etc. Many of those have migrated from 
mailman. For example, for GNOME, this is the main issue for the migration 
(where one of the goals is to keep allowing email 
interface)https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/Initiatives/-/issues/18As Vicky 
mentioned, this is a new option, and the objective is to increase the ways for 
members to interact.My personal opinion is that being the main forum for the 
Foundation, I'd play conservative and wait a bit for Discuss to be migrated 
until we have more experience and see how it works for other groups. There's no 
rush at all!On the other hand, as one of the administrators of the mailman 
instance, I can assure some admin tasks are much easier in the new system. For 
example,  the most common request is to remove messages and for that, mailman 
only offers to get into the server, remove the message from an mbox file, and 
rebuild the 
archives.https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/SAC:Mailing_Lists#Remove_Mails_from_ArchiveDiscourse
 offers proper moderation tools like flagging, hiding, removing, etc.Hope it 
helps--Jorge Sanzhttps://jorgesanz.netSent from my phone, excuse my brevity and

Hi Vicky, Astrid

Happy to get back to the team and start taking news to post on the website
and the announce mailing list again.

I can also help with social media as well.

I'm usually around on the SAC and General Matrix chatrooms. Is there a
dedicated room to coordinate this kind of thing? If not, should we create
one for transparency?

[OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: Your Nabble Forum

[Jorge Sanz via Discuss]

Hi all,

Unfortunately, Nabble <http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/>, a popular
interface to OSGeo mailing lists, is shutting down. Nabble has been very
useful to users that are not keen to use email to interact with their
community but rather a web interface. It also conveniently offered a way to
search through many mailing lists under a single entry point.

This is not really surprising, as the service has been struggling for a
couple of years. The OSGeo tickets 2574
<https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/2574> and 2616
<https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/2616> are just the most recent
examples.

Please find below the link to the official announcement, and forward this
message to anyone interested.

Happy to answer any questions.
Jorge

[OSGeo-Discuss] MapLibre

[Jorge Sanz]

Hello OSGeo,

Some of you may have heard about yesterday's announcement regarding Mapbox
GL JS v2 having a license change[1] from BSD into a closed license. Since
Mapbox GL JS v1.13 is still Open Source (BSD), several people forked the
main repository to continue with the project.

Today, a few community members met to coordinate those initiatives and
agreed to use the "MapLibre" name as the Github and NPM namespaces to host
the library's future development.

One of the objectives pointed out during the meeting was to contact and
start establishing a relationship with the OSGeo Foundation so hence this
email :-)

I think I can speak in the name of everyone that met today, to thank and
acknowledge Mapbox for the amazing job done in the library and the Open
Source world, respecting their decision, and hoping they maintain their
commitment to the vast number of many other Open Source libraries and
components they have developed over the years.

You can find more details about MapLibre in this initial coordinating
document[2]. If you are interested in this effort, please keep an eye on
the document, feel free to join the communication channels that suit you,
and stay tuned for a first release of the library under the MapLibre name.

Thanks!

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Which dialect of Spanish should I declare?

[Jorge Sanz]

Hi Pierre

Just forwarded
<https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/spanish/2020-October/008937.html> to the
Spanish Language list, let's see if someone has experience in translating
from Spanish.

I understand software presenting interfaces into Spanish should be fine on
picking your "es-US" code since it's one of the (apparently) supported
codes, at least on my computer.

$ cat /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED | grep -o "es_.." | uniq
es_AR
es_BO
es_CL
es_CO
es_CR
es_CU
es_DO

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Time for me to move on from OSGeo

[Jorge Sanz]

Cameron,

Thanks for all these years, I was always impressed with your level of
professionalism when coordinating OSGeo Live in the early days when I was
active as part of the gvSIG team. You were always supportive and patient,
yet persuasive to keep us all engaged in testing, translating, doc writing,
etc.

I'm sure you'll be successful in any endeavor you start and looking forward
to what's next for you and crossing paths again!!

Cheers!!

Hi Scott,

I'm the main admin for the OSGeo mailing lists. The ideal situation would
be for any of the current admins to create a ticket asking for adding your
as admin of the list. This is only for transparency purposes since the
administration password in mailman is not tied to any account in
particular. Please remember to assign the ticket to the Mailing Lists
component so I'm notified directly.



Happy to answer any other questions regarding this service.

Best regards

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] How big is OSGeo?

[Jorge Sanz]

Just for comparison as I happen to maintain three meetups for groups in
Spain (kind of microchapters called Geoinquietos[1]), mailing list versus
meetup is as follows:

* Valencia: list 71; meetup: 729; telegram: 36
* Seville: list 80; meetup: 899; whatsapp: 16
* Madrid: list: 157; 887; telegram; 61

Still, for me the absolute numbers are not that meaningful. Over the years
we have seen a clear migration of the conversation from mailing lists to
othe channels: stackoverflow, social media networks, meet up networks, chat
rooms and such.

Telegram, for example, is actually where these days most of the Spanish
language OSGeo, Geoinquietos, and OSM conversations happen.

Cheers!

Hi Sandro,

The planet software is intended to show only the X last posts from the
aggregation list and not as a full archive. On the other hand, you can get
older posts reaching the feed archived at the main OSGeo website at
https://www.osgeo.org/community-news/

Best regards

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] PlanetOSGeo revamp

[Jorge Sanz]

Hi all again,

I've made the change[1] and new planet theme is in production. Let's see
how it works and later we can iterate over it to make it even better (maybe
we should put Foundation sponsor logos there?).

My sure next step here will be to purge all planet entries that are
pointing to non-existent blogs, or that have not published any post in
2017. I'll notify back when that clean-up is done.

All the best

I preferred to put it on top. On the bottom forces you to scroll if you
want to collapse it again. Ideally it should be inside the post (so
betweent the second and the third paragraph) but to be honest I didn't
wanted to spend more time parsing DOM elements and better work on other

My approach (since this was all pure JS code) was to only parse the first
level of DOM elements. Since images are inside paragraphs and in general
other images where not that bad*, well I thought it was good enough. The
planet is always going to be a bit messy since it's an aggregation of all
types of contents, it's impossible to have a consistent look.

* I can remember for example a graph from one of PaulR posts

Same, we capture the language of the posts when people apply, but the
software itself does not allow any type of filtering. Personally I like to
see posts in all languages because it shows the diversity. And this
approach of collapsing the posts help to go through those you don't
understand quickly, as you'd do in your RSS reader.

Thanks for your feedback Sandro.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] PlanetOSGeo revamp

[Jorge Sanz]

Hi again, hopefully, my last update this topic :-)

Back from holidays, I think I'm finished with the planet revamp.

I've removed the j/k navigation (was too buggy) and implemented the
suggestion of stripping the entries to the first two paragraphs so it's
easier to browse the planet and just clicking on a "Read more" link at the
beginning of the post will display the rest of the entry. Mind that some
blogs only offer the post title (like Geotools) and others just an
excerpt), nothing I can do on that front so, on those cases, you are forced
to visit the original website.

Take a look and if there are no complains I'll update the planet theme next
week.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] PlanetOSGeo revamp

[Jorge Sanz]

OK hi again,

I did some updates to the design, and also added a small JS library for
j/k/o navigation that sincerely, does not work that well. Result in the
same url [1].

I've also moved the full new theme to a new folder[2], so in theory,
switching to the new theme would be as easy as committing here[3] the theme
name. If you are happy with the current status, please feel free to deploy
the change, otherwise, I'll do that as soon as possible.

For me, next step on this small project is a big clean-up of blogs (say any
wrong url or no new content over the last two years) and then try to get
new sources.

Cheers!

Well this really is up to every blogger because the planet softaware just
takes the RSS content and some people put the full article, others and
excerpt, others nothing.

What I can do in the planet web interface is use javascript to reduce the
content to a couple of lines so you have to navigate to the blogger
website. Maybe optionally I can allow to click somewhere to get the full
content displayed.

Ok so someone else was using that, apart from me :-) For sorme reason (I
never investigated) that feature stopped working at some point and frankly,
as everything else on the planet part, never had the energy to fix it,
until now.

I'll take a look and try to get it working again ^_^

I'm almost on holidays, but if the weather is really bad here this weekend
I may have some time to work on this, otherwise it will have to wait until
March when I come back to RealWorld(TM).

[OSGeo-Discuss] PlanetOSGeo revamp

[Jorge Sanz]

Hi everyone,

Our blogs aggregator has been in "maintenance" mode for a long time so I
spent a few hours in trying to modernize a bit its appearance and I'd like
to get your input before I commit the changes.

Please take a look and let me know if you see anything you'd like to
address:

http://planet.osgeo.org/new_planet/

The website is responsive so on narrow screens the sidebar moves to the
bottom. I need to put a specific header or even maybe makes more sense to
just have the intro at the beginning instead and remove the rest of the
sidebar content for that use case.

After we get the new "continent", I'll start another thread regarding the
content itself (that needs a serious cleaning).

Cheers!!

[Jorge Sanz]

In fact, the logo is available here in many formats and forms

https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/tree/master/marketing/branding/logo

The fact that the software generating the file was not Free Software does
not make the asset less open.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Happy GISDay and be prepared for PostGISDay

[Jorge Sanz]

Hi all,

As many of you know today, as third Wednesday of November is GIS Day. You
can follow the global conversation about GIS outreach activities on
Twitter[1].

A few years ago I created with some friends a silly website[2] to celebrate
the cooler PostGIS Day happening (obviously) tomorrow. This year I'd love
to see along with the joke meme images more good content around Postgres
and PostGIS so if you have any good resource like an insightful blog post,
a great workshop material, an amazing query that blows your mind or
whatever, please answer this mail, send it directly to me or use the
website form[3].

Feel free to forward this message to whoever you think may be interested :-)

That's all, have a great day!

congrats to you, Vasile, for your commitment to this community. You are an
invaluable asset to OSGeo, I'm very proud to have shared a small piece of
all this work with you.

Cheers from FOSS4G + State of The Map 2017 in Buenos Aires, Argentina,

HI Eli,

If I recall correctly, we answered you that Jeff immediately resigned from
his position as CRO and he has not been involved at all in any Board
elections CRO activity so everything is correctly handled except (and we
apologized for that) the lack of a Trac ticket for the alias change.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: Board nomination: Astrid Emde

[Jorge Sanz]

Super happy to see Astrid willing to get into the Board.

As Jachym and others said, it's impossible not to love her. Astrid is
always attentive, hard worker, always close giving a hand and a great
colleague on any project you are lucky enough to coincide with her, in my
case OSGeo Live and as a backup on the OSGeo News editors team that I can
recall now.

All the best

HI all

I heartedly second this nomination.

Many of you know María from her last talks on diversity but she's been
active in all kinds of activities in OSGeo and OSGeo Spanish Local Chapter
since 2011 or so, leading the Spanish spoken community and especially, the
local group in Seville that simply would not happen with her tireless
energy and passion.

I'm totally sure she'll do a great job as a Director of the Foundation.

That was me :)

I subscribed (again) Nabble to the list and the mailing list server sent

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Membership process & email

[Jorge Sanz]

Agree, I don't think I'd like a nomination period + election being carried
on with some editings in the wiki and a silent mailing list except by some
announcements.

On the other hand, answering with a +1 on a mailing list is quick and easy
(and annoying if you don't use filters on your email).

The off list option, like adding a comment on the wiki, (IMO) would be
followed by fewer people and read by even fewer people. We are all lazy by
nature, and an election process is not the most exciting activity we do.

I agree the process can be improved, but when thinking about election
procedures, as boring as they are, we need to put the reduction of
participation barriers as a top priority if we want to reach the broadest
audience, at least once per year.

Anyway, I'm super happy to see such a big number of nominations, and I want
to thank Vasile for the hard work and long hours he's dedicating to try to
cup with such a demonstration of enthusiasm.

My 2 cents

[OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2016] Board of Directors elections results

[Jorge Sanz]

Dear OSGeo community,

These are the results from the 2016 elections[1] for the 4 open
seats[2]  of the OSGeo Board of Directors. The results in alphabetical
order are:

* Angelos Tzotsos
* Maria Antonia Brovelli
* Michael Smith
* Vasile Craciunescu

Thanks to all candidates to oging through the elections process.
Election figures are:

* 78.8% participation (246 of 312)
* 6 incomplete responses
* 60 members not opened the voting

There were no scores to arbitrate. Thank you all who voted!!

The complete resulting Board for 2016/2017 is:

* Angelos Tzotsos
* Anita Graser
* Helena Mitasova
* Jody Garnett
* Maria Antonia Brovelli
* Michael Smith
* Sanghee Shin
* Vasile Craciunescu
* Venkatesh Raghavan

Maybe it's my impression but is not the most diverse Board we've had?
Anyway, I will update the wiki pages for the Board of Directors ASAP.

Please congratulate the new OSGeo Directors!

A warm thank you for the outgoing Directors Maxi and Dirk for all your
efforts for the Foundation, looking forward to keep seeing your hard
work for the community in many other fronts.

My job as CRO is almost finished now, I will update the wiki with the
detailed results[3] as soon as possible. I want to give a big thank
you to everyone for your cooperation but specially to Jeff McKenna for
his always close look to all my actions fixing small issues and taking
care of the job when I was absent. I will open a separate thread for a
couple of discussions about this process and also a small
retrospective and lessons learnt.

Kind regards

Another update,

Maybe because I sent 624 emails from a sender on behalf of a different

HI,

I can help on organizing this, no problem.

But we need support from the rest of the candidates, since it wasn't
planned and can be challenging with the different timezones but since
it's just US/Europe, it's doable.

What other candidates think? Personally I'm fine with the nominations
+ manifestos but if you think an open discussion is worth I'm glad to
do it ASAP.

Cheers

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2016] Nominations reminder and campaign proposal

[Jorge Sanz]

Thank you all for your suggestions and feedback.

We'll have a week of campaigning and discussion once the candidates
list is closed. I've added a section for this on the elections page[1]
and created a page following last year template[2].

I'd ask candidates that once they are happy with their text to forward
it to Discuss so they can open a conversation if needed. The template
is just that, a framework of questions that candidates can answer in
their own way.

Voting will be delayed one week then (calendar has been updated on the
Elections page).

Candidates can start publishing their manifestos from this Wednesday 21st (UTC).

Please let me know if there's anything else we can do to improve the process.

Best regards
Jorge

Hi Maxi

Sending it to this list will be more effective. For reference, last
year manifestos are here

https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Election_2015_Candidate_Manifestos

I recommend following the same schema, nicely proposed by Steven
Feldman at that time IIRC.

I can always put them all together on a wiki page like that one so
charter members can review it before voting.

[OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2016] Nominations reminder and campaign proposal

[Jorge Sanz]

Dear OSGeo community and charter members

This is a reminder that there's still some days for nominations to the
Board of Directors elections. We have already nine great candidates,
including all the present Board members running for re-election. Take
a look at [1] for an overview of the nominations and support
expressions. Maybe there's a candidate that is worth your support or
someone special that you think should run to join our Board?

The other point of this email is to follow up with Gert-Jan
proposal[2] to put a week between the nominations period and the
actual voting to let candidates to express their intentions for their
term.

I'm inclined to accept it because I think is a good idea and no one
has opposed but also because next week I'll be out of the office for
the GEOSTAT course first here in Spain (20/21) and SoTM in Brussels
(22/26) later and I'll be pretty busy.

What do you think? Looking forward for your opinions.

All the best
Jorge

Forwarding Nicolas Bozon nomination for the Board of Directors by
Markus Neteler.

All the best

CRO 2016


-- Forwarded message --
From: Markus Neteler 
Date: 14 September 2016 at 12:00
Subject: Board nomination for Nicolas Bozon
To: OSGeo-CRO 
Cc: Nicolas Bozon 


Dear OSGeo community,

It is my pleasure to nominate Nicolas Bozon (nicolas.bo...@gmail.com)
for the OSGeo Board of Directors 2016 elections.

Nicolas is an avid OSGeo advocate from France, with a global approach
of open source and open collaboration. He's been using and promoting
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

[OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2016] Board nomination for Dirk Frigne

[Jorge Sanz]

Forwarding nominations of Moritz Lennert and Gert-Jan van der Weijden for
Dirk Frigne.

Best
Jorge Sanz
CRO 2016

**

Hello,

I would like to nominate Dirk Frigne (dirk.fri...@geosparc.com) from
Belgium as a board member.

Dirk has entered the Board recently and has since worked hard on
advancing OSGeo interests and on pushing an agenda of
professionalizing OSGeo as an organisation. He was one of the
co-founders of OSGeo.be in Belgium and has been one of the leaders of
the OSGeo-EU initiative which led to the creation of this new chapter
and which hopefully will allow breaking the stronghold of proprietary
software in EU institutions and allow the integration of more foss4g in
European initiatives and programmes, by federating European actors
into networks.

He has a strong business perspective and thus ensures a voice for all
the small SME's active in foss4g.

I feel that he has only just begun and that at his current rate of
pouring energy into OSGeo he will bring a lot to the community if he
is allowed to continue in the board.

Moritz

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] board elections: campaign week?

[Jorge Sanz]

Hi Gert-Jan thanks for the reminder :-)

Candidates are encouraged to start, as you say, campaigning anytime. I
already mentioned on the nominations announce that'd be great to see
candidates sharing their ideas for their term on this list.

I'm open to allow an extra week between nominations and voting, or
extending the voting for two weeks, if there's positive feedback about this
idea and our Board does not see any good reason to not delay a week the
results.

All the best

Italy

I would like to nominate Professor Maria Brovelli for the board of directors.
She is very well know in the community for her passion for open source
software and open data,
leader of numerous initiatives, including the latest outreach to United Nations,
hosting FOSS4G Europe in 2015 and organizing several open source and
open data sessions
at the ISPRS congres in Prague in 2016.
Her leadership and contributions to OSGeo were recognized by Sol Katz
award in 2015
and she is on the advisory board and one of the regional directors of
GeoForAll initiative.
She advised many students who made significant contributions to
several OSGeo projects
including GRASS GIS and understands both the community building and
the software development issues.
I feel strongly that she will be able to take on the challenging tasks
and often complex
decision making that comes with the the board of directors membership
given her experience as
Vice Rector for the Como Campus of Politecnico di Milano. See her page

Hi there,

I'd like to nominate Michael Smith from the US as board member.

Mike works as Physical Scientist with the Remote Sensing GIS Center of
Expertise at the Cold Regions Research Engineering Laboratory of the US
Army Corps of Engineers. He has been a long time power user, supporter,
and contributor of MapServer, GDAL/OGR, and other OSGeo projects. He is
a member of the MapServer as well as the PDAL PSC. He is a FOSS4G
regular and hasn't missed a single one since the 2003 MapServer Users
Meeting as far as I know. Mike is the present OSGeo treasurer and has
already served on the board for the last couple of years. I believe he
is really doing a great job representing OSGeo and he is a perfect
candidate to continue serving on the board. See his user page for more
information: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Michael_Smith

[OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2016] Board Nominations

[Jorge Sanz]

Dear all, after a successful FOSS4G and northern hemisphere summer
break, it's time to take the OSGeo Foundation Board Elections.

The nominations for the OSGeo Board of Directors will start tomorrow
[1]. Please take a minute to understand what the board actually
does[2]. A director should plan to spend several hours a week on OSGeo
business in order to do a good job. The current board members will
know best.

To nominate a candidate for the board please first confirm with the
person that they would like to stand for election as a Board member.
Then send an email to c...@osgeo.org CCing the candidate by 12:00 GMT
on Tuesday 20.09.2016[3] consisting of:

- name and e-mail
- current country of residence
- a paragraph describing why you think this person would make a good
Board member.

Remember that only Charter Members are eligible for a seat on the
Board and for voting but that *anybody* can *nominate* a board member.

Last year was asked, after public nomination, to write to the Discuss
mailing list some kind of manifesto about their plans for their term.
This is not mandatory at all but a good starting point for discussions
and to let the community know what are your ideas about the
Foundation.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Jorge

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Creating a Mailing List

Hi just an update:

- Markus and me have been managing the lists recently, we do our best
to attend tickets and as with everything for some we are quick and
fast and for others and for many reasons we're a bit slower than we
should, sorry for that

- For some reason I can't comment on that ticket (I tried twice this
morning) so I've posted to SAC list

Anyway in the meanwhile, if you agree Paolo we can use the SAC list to
coordinate the migration to minimize the downtime on your list.

Best regards
Jorge

[OSGeo-Discuss] Help on maintaining the OSGeo Calendar

[Jorge Sanz]

Hi all,

As you probably know the OSGeo website editors team* maintains a
calendar of events[1], conveniently also exposed as an iCal feed[2] so
you can have it on your own calendar tool of choice.

This mail is just a reminder to ask for your help on submitting those
events related with FOSS4G (in a generic way), Local Chapters
activities or any other event you think fits the OSGeo community.

Details on how to submit your events can be found here[3].

Cheers!

[1] http://www.osgeo.org/event
[2] http://www.osgeo.org/event/ical/all/all
[3] http://www.osgeo.org/events/submit_events

* that's mainly me nowadays so help on maintaining the news/events
list would be great too :-)

Vasile I think you did more than was expected. With the reminders to
the filed e-mail addresses but also Discuss and the Charter Members
list I think it's enough and if a Charter Member is not following any
of those inputs, it's not the CRO responsibility to try to reach them
by any means. We are lucky to have such a big and broad membership and
every year someone will miss the elections for one reason or another.

Of course it's awesome you took that time to do it but I wouldn't
expect that from future CROs, you've done more than enough my friend.

Cheers.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Board election: no re-elections this year?

Not a huge demanding job, I spend more time for the foundation in
other tasks, but it also depends on how much time you want to spend,
there's work for everyone :-)

In my case where I switched jobs this year time was an issue, yes.
Also the lack of energy and the feeling that others could do better
than me. I'm incredibly happy to see so good board candidates.

If I had a clear goal unaccomplished and the energy to do it I'd apply
for re-election, anyway I'd had a hard time to get elected again with
such good candidates this year.

The way the Board is renovated assures projects and know how are well
passed along new members and nobody can be tied to their seat as long
as the community decides they are doing a good job and deserve it.

Finally, I've had a great time working at the Board, I've learned a
lot and enjoyed to team with the rest of the members, they all deserve
my biggest respect. I hope some day to get again the time, energy and
support to apply for the Board and serve this community at the most
committed level.

All the best

That's a great idea Steven, with the membership growing and being more
diverse, we can't expect that all candidates are well known by everyone so
a brief mail answering your questions (and an update on the wiki) would be
really cool.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [OSGeo Elections 2015] Nomination for Gonzalo Pérez

[Jorge Sanz]

+1 to this nomination, as Jeff said, it was great to see the passion
Gonzalo, César, Javier and the rest of the Buenos Aires Geoinquietos
team put not only on that event but also afterwards promoting both
Open Source but also Open Data.

2015-08-27 18:59 GMT+02:00 Mauricio Miranda mmira...@osgeo.org:
 I second this nomination.

 Gonzalo is one of the leaders of the OSM community in Argentina and the
 whole region. I think it's very important to join forces between both
 communities to spread the word about open software and open data in every
 single event, conference or meetup. All of us are working together to make
 that happen and Gonzalo is a very important player in this game.

 It is my pleasure to nominate Gonzalo Gabriel Pérez
 (http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Gonzalo_Perez), from Argentina, as an OSGeo
 Charter Member.  Gonzalo is very well known as the chair of the State of
 the Map (SOTM) conference in 2014, bringing international guests from
 all over the world to Buenos Aires.  He is a passionate and very active
 OSM contributor and leader, and is active both locally and throughout
 Latin America.

 I saw first-hand Gonzalo's passion when I attended FOSS4G-BA in 2013,
 where he helped coordinate an OSM event to go along with the FOSS4G
 activities.

 I think it is extremely important to welcome OSM leaders into OSGeo, so
 please welcome Gonzalo as a Charter Member.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Presenting the Ráfagas

[Jorge Sanz]

Hi,

For many months a very dedicated geogeek from Catalonia called Raf
Roset has been writing almost every working day an email to the
Barcelona and Valencia mailing lists with interesting links about many
topics related with geospatial (not just Open Source but also Open
Data and many other topics). We happily name them Ráfagas*.

Some time ago I started to translate it also everyday to repost them
on a couple Spanish speaking lists. Less time ago I started to
translate them into English to post them on a internal CartoDB mailing
list and I end up only doing the English translation for CartoDB and
Spanish lists.

You can check the last Ráfagas for example here:

http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=search_pagenode=5049752query=R%C3%A1fagasort=date


So, my offer/question to this list is if you think it's interesting to
send them also here or maybe to a new mailing list. It's quite off
topic, but on the other hand every day there's a lot of cool stuff
being sent on those mails so it's a pity the are not spread all over
the internet. I can tell you that people in Spanish lists *love* the
Ráfagas.

We like this format of daily mails sent to a list because it
encourages discussion, way better than a blog. That's something we've
discussed a lot an we always end up confirming that this format is the
best**.

What do you think?

* Ráfaga in Spanish means a burst of shots and it's a doble joke
honouring also Raf :-)
** At some point we want to automatize the process as much as
possible, sending everyday these mails takes some time and the less
steps to do the job the better, but that's another story.

  Hello All,
 
  I hold a Masters in GIS from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria (1997)
 and have
  worked on GIS projects in Nigeria ever since.
  My transition to Opensource software (operating systems, Server, Desktop
 and
  Web) began about 5 years ago. Over time  I have acquired most of the
 basic
  skills required for Opensource (java, python, javascript, html5, CSS
 etc) and
  have become an Opensource advocate of some sort (in public and private
 sectors
  in Nigeria).
 
  I have a group of people that we have held informal meetings and we are
  passionate about Open Source software, GIS, and our part of the world.
 We have
  people from all walks of life - academia, government and business.
 
  We have decided to set-up a Local OSGeo Chapter to assist our current
 drive of
  increasing FOSS4G and Opensource awareness in Nigeria.
 
  I have looked at the guidelines, OSGeo mission and according to
  http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Local_Chapters/Starting a page has been
 set-up at
  http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User_talk:Ayolagos
 

 Please consider moving the content to
 http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Nigeria

  To grow our potential user base, we want to adopt the Ubuntu Linux model
 of
  distributing CDs/Flash drives with FOSS4G videos and software to
 interested
  people and organisations across our country. These costs will be borne
 by us. We
  would like to put the OSGeo logo on all these items.
 

 Please consider building from OSGeoLive http://live.osgeo.org

  A training facility in Lagos Island, Lagos has given us access to one
  of their training rooms that can seat 50 people. The room has all the
 facilities
  required for workshops and trainings. This will form our Lagos base for
 now
  while we will look for other facilities in other parts of the country as
 we move
  along. We intend to start monthly workshops within the next 6 weeks. We
 intend
  to have movable banners at all our events, and would like to put OSGEO
 logo on
  these banners.
 

 Absolutely, you will find example materials for this at
 https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/browser/marketing/exhibitionpack
 https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/browser/marketing/logo/svg

 If you need additional matching funds please contact the Marketing and
 Outreach Committee.

  We also have a couple of businesses (including our company) who have
 pledged at
  least 2 PCs in each of our offices which we will encourage potential
 users to
  come to use for specified periods, to mitigate the issue of users not
 having
  access to an internet facing computer. These will be managed by a
 booking system
  so we do not disturb the commercial activities of these businesses.
 
  We have started discussing with 5 Universities across Nigeria (as a
 start) about
  including Opensource and FOSS4G courses in their related departments. We
  actually found one university already using QGIS!. Introduction letters
 have
  been requested from these organisations and we would like to use the
 OSGeo logo
  as part of these letters.
 

 Please invite them to join the OSGeo-ICE-ISPRS initiative
 http://www.geoforall.org/

  We have started development of a website and still working on the most
  suitable domain name. Suggestions are welcome so we are in line with
 OSGeo best
  practises. We will also like to put the OSGeo logo on the website.
 
  We would also like a mailing list set-up so we can start holding
 conversations
  outside of this main list.
 

 Please file a ticket on https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ to have a mailing
 list created.

 Example:
 https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1487


  I joined this list around January this year and have been reading the
 posts to
  get a proper feel of how things are done. I realise that there will be
 other
  Nigeria residents here and use this as a reach out for them to join us
 and
  participate, since we are looking for more members to follow through on
 specific
  sectors based on the OSGeo mission and ours as well.
 
  I also solicit any support and assistance that can make our mission
 easier to
  achieve.
 
  Thank you.
 
  Regards
 
  Ayo Akinseye
 

 Thanks,
 Alex
