Asunto: [*Correo Sospechoso*] Change in mailing list configuration

We've changed the configuration of this mailing list to respect the
recomendations from the SysAdmin team:

https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/SAC:Mailing_Lists#Configuring_the_mailing_list

Notable changes are:

  1. No more [OSGeo-Discuss] prefix in email subjects
  2. No more added footer
  3. Real sender address in the From field
  4. DKIM signed emails will not be considered maliciously tampered \o/

For filtering the emails or finding mailing list address to change
user preferences you will be able to use the email headers.

Many mail user agents should be able to figure this out by themselves,
others might need manual configuration.

Just as an example, my mail configuration for the PostGIS Developers
looks like this (procmail recipe):

  :0
  * ^List-ID:.*postgis-devel.lists.osgeo.org
  * !^X-List-Administrivia: yes
  .postgis-devel/

Happy mailing !

Dear all,
My 2cents...

Discourse seems an appealing solution for query and answer but I agree with 
Bruce that before we move we should have a nice open discussion, since it's not 
gonna be the magic stick...
I've seen the platform used at some universities and seeing last post dated one 
year ago didn't attract people to use it..

I also believe we have a low engagement rate in the latest year and deep open 
reflections should be done in my opinion to revamp it... Since our community 
have been highly relevant and has more to say in my opinion..


Il 28 dic 2023 23:53, Bruce Bannerman via Discuss  ha 
scritto:
Apart from these few emails telling me that a move to something called 
Discourse is happening, I have not seen any discussion on our lists explaining 
the pros and cons of such a move.

I find this lack of community engagement on this issue to be troubling.

This does not seem to be a very open source community way of making such a 
significant move.

Personally, what we have now has been working nicely for me for close on 20 
years.

The lists have been very quiet for quite a while now, but that is a community 
engagement issue. It is not something that technology will magically fix.

It seems to me that we have a case of the tail wagging the dog.

Kind regards,

Bruce

And the thinking here is that discourse is easier for people who want to ask a

Yes, so you can have the mirror in one category and another catergory for Q

Sorry for intervening but I think that type of "reproach" should be done 
privately. I know Suchith and I am sure that he does it with the best

 I’m missing something.

Can you explain how this is relevant to OSGeo? Today is also the birthday of 
King Richard 3rd of England, Groucho Marx, Coco the Clown, Robert Henry 
Lawrence Jr and many others but I don’t think any of them were open source 
digital geographers.

I understand why you might admire Gandhi but others may not agree. OSGeo 
Discuss is not the place for these conversations imo, which is evidenced by the 
lack of response that such posts receive

Perhaps the GeoforAll list is a more relevant place?

Dear colleagues,


A Historic moment, ISRO - Indian Space Research Organization Chandrayaan-3’s 
lander touches down on the lunar surface, making India the first country to 
successfully land a spacecraft near the Moon’s south pole.


All previous missions to the Moon have touched down near the equator - but 
exploring the south pole is key to the hunt for water. Scientists now hope to 
deploy a rover to send images and data back to Earth.  Thank you to all 
scientists and engineers who worked over many years to make this possible.


More details at https://www.isro.gov.in/Chandrayaan3.html

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-asia-india-66576580


Tune in to the official ISRO YouTube channel for a high-definition, immersive 
experience at

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DLA_64yz8Ss


It is important to thank the women scientists who took India into space

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-38253471.amp

This mission will inspire students from all over the world to STEM education 
and space science education.


Now it is time to study the Sun...


ISRO is going for the Aditya L1 mission. ADITYA-L1 shall be the first space 
based Indian mission to study the Sun. This will be launched by PSLV from 
Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota.  The spacecraft shall be placed in a 
halo orbit around the Lagrange point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system, which is 
about 1.5 million km from the Earth.


Details of the major science objectives of Aditya-L1 mission are at

Dear colleagues,

Congratulations to all scientists at Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) 
for launching of Chandrayaan-3 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota, 
India.


Chandrayaan-3 is the third lunar exploration mission by the Indian Space 
Research Organization  (ISRO). The launch of Chandrayaan-3 took place at 14 
July 2023, at 2:35 pm IST and injection of 100 km circular polar orbit was 
completed successfully as part of phase one. The lander and rover is expected 
to land near the lunar south pole region on 23 August 2023.


Chandrayaan-3 consists of an indigenous Lander module (LM), Propulsion module 
(PM) and a Rover with an objective of developing and demonstrating new 
technologies required for Inter planetary missions. The Lander will have the 
capability to soft land at a specified lunar site and deploy the Rover which 
will carry out in-situ chemical analysis of the lunar surface during the course 
of its mobility. The Lander and the Rover have scientific payloads to carry out 
experiments on the lunar surface.

Asunto: [*Correo Sospechoso*] [Geo4All] Tech CEOs want us to believe that
generative AI will benefit humanity

This article on “AI machines aren’t ‘hallucinating’. But their makers are” in
The Guardian by Naomi Klein might be of interest . She is the bestselling
author of No Logo and The Shock Doctrine and Professor of Climate Justice and
Co-director of the Centre for Climate Justice at the University of British
Columbia.

"Generative AI will end poverty, they tell us. It will cure all disease. It
will solve climate change. It will make our jobs more meaningful and exciting.
It will unleash lives of leisure and contemplation, helping us reclaim the
humanity we have lost to late capitalist mechanization. It will end loneliness.
It will make our governments rational and responsive. These, I fear, are the
real AI hallucinations and we have all been hearing them on a loop ever since
Chat GPT launched at the end of last year.

There is a world in which generative AI, as a powerful predictive research tool
and a performer of tedious tasks, could indeed be marshalled to benefit
humanity, other species and our shared home. But for that to happen, these
technologies would need to be deployed inside a vastly different economic and
social order than our own, one that had as its purpose the meeting of human
needs and the protection of the planetary systems that support all life.

And as those of us who are not currently tripping well understand, our current
system is nothing like that. Rather, it is built to maximize the extraction of
wealth and profit – from both humans and the natural world – a reality that has
brought us to what we might think of it as capitalism’s techno-necro stage. In
that reality of hyper-concentrated power and wealth, AI – far from living up to
all those utopian hallucinations – is much more likely to become a fearsome
tool of further dispossession and despoilation.”

Dear colleagues,


The African Association of Universities (a University Association counting over 
400 Universities across the African Continent), together with the University of 
Nottingham and the Ethical Data Initiative, are launching a campaign for the 
inclusion of Data Ethics in Data Science education on a global scale.


The campaign – seeking to highlight the importance of teaching researchers and 
future data practitioners about the ethical considerations in the collection, 
use, reuse and storage of data as part of their training – will begin with a 
series of informative panel events to be aired on AAU TV, with the inaugural 
show on Data Ethics Policy in Education starting at 10h00 (British Summer Time) 
on Tuesday May 23, 2023. The AAU TV network was established in 2018 to deliver 
news and information on important higher education-related issues on the 
African Continent such as advancements in education policy, STEM innovation and 
important research findings. The Ethical Data Discussion series will explore 
pressing ethical questions inherent in digital technology, data collection and 
data-driven research; highlighting the need for training digital practitioners 
in the ethics of their craft.


We are delighted to invite you to an African Association of Universities, 
University of Nottingham and Ethical Data Initiative event:

Data Ethics Policy in Education
May 23, 2023 at 10h00 (British Summer Time)

We are living in a digitally transformed society. Data drives problem-solving 
and better decision-making. While the digital revolution has transformed the 
way we live, solving many issues; it has also given rise to numerous questions 
and challenges which affect everyone.


The panel, made up of experts in International Development, Data Science, 
Technology and Education will discuss key questions such as:

• Who owns our data? Who benefits from our data?
• How we might avoid the pitfalls of feudalism and colonialism in this new and 
constantly evolving landscape.
• Whether, and why, it might be time for data ethics to become an integral part 
of the education curriculum in schools and universities.
• How can we can build capacity for Data Ethics in universities and industry.

translators, pointed out the need for the translation and will use it at
GIS courses at University in Budapest.
- 100 % translation to Spanish. Special thanks to Martha Vergara that
did 99% of the translation.
- Command line introduction.
- Improved Quickstart for OpenStretMap? thanks to Enock Seth Nyamador.


Marco Minghini, Scientific Project Officer at the European Commission,
says
"Open source geospatial software is a key building block of many data
infrastructures managed and operated by the European Commission,
powering high-level, pan-European initiatives such as INSPIRE and
Copernicus. The role of OSGeoLive to teach and promote the use of open
source geospatial software has no equivalent. Big thanks to OSGeo and
the OSGeoLive team!"

[OSGeo-Discuss] India emergency appeal

2021-05-05 Thread SERGIO ACOSTAYLARA

?I received an email asking for help regarding the pandemic situation in India. 
A colleague (assistant professor at the University of Geneva and originally 
from a region that is being hit hard by the pandemic) is looking for a way to 
count the number of people affected and estimate mortality rates. For this 
reason, he is calling on experts whose research areas include GIS or remote 
sensing. I suggested contacting HOT. They did but it looks they didn't get any 
answer yet. I would appreciate if you could contribute by distributing this 
email, or contact him directly (mridul.tho...@unige.ch) to do our bit and help, 
even if only minimally, in this health emergency situation.

Dear OSGeo friends,

It is with deep sorrow that I inform of the sudden passing of Malena Liebman.
Malena was admitted to a healthcare facility last week after having tested
positive for COVID-19.

Among many other things, Malena was the president of the Argentinian OSGeo
Chapter (GeoLibres), chair of the FOSS4G 2021, and worked in the field of
Spatial Data Infrastructures.

IDERA (the Argentinian SDI) has made a brief announcement at https://
twitter.com/ide_argentina/status/1387054979941240843

I, as well as many of Malena's friends and colleagues, am socked and at a loss
of words.

There is always cost to making software.

James is pointing out the meaning of "free" in this context. There is an

I think there may be some confusion over the meaning of "free" in FOSS.  "Free" 
in FOSS means free as in libre, referencing the "Four Essential Freedoms", not 
free as in no cost.  It is actually a stronger statement than "open".

HI Sergio,

well it might not be open source but is 'free just as in the acronym FOSS = 
Free and Open Source Software  (as for example the OSGEO flagship conference

also part of FOSS. That is just to say one potentially should not prevent 
someone presenting on that software based only because it is free but not open

Just my 2 cents

Hi Sergio,

while it appears to be free to me it see,s not to be open source because in 
that case one would be be to find the source code (and I could not).
Also note that this tool might be kind of outdated (seems to use an old version 
of extjs as a JS library as user GUI) so be ware that it might be a bit 
outdated.

Asunto: [OSGeo-Discuss] Women and Digitalization in Agriculture : Overcoming 
the Data Divide



Dear colleagues,


In celebration of International Women's Day 2021 and Open Data Day 2021,  
Global Open Data in Agriculture and Nutrition (GODAN) and Unique Mappers Team 
(one of the key GeoForAll labs in Africa) are teaming up to bring you an event 
bringing together these two topics and exploring gender equality in data 
technologies in West Africa.


Despite women making up around 50% of the agricultural workforce in the ACP 
region, the gender gap in relation to access to information and communication 
technologies (ICTs) continues to grow, making it particularly difficult for 
women to access important information, financial products and markets.


The digital transformation of the agricultural sector, through the 
proliferation of digital technologies, tools and services has only served to 
exacerbate preexisting inequalities. While challenges such as access to 
education, access to financial services, connectivity, availability of 
electricity and cost of essential services only serve to widen the gender data 
gap.


Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition (GODAN) has been strongly 
supporting capacity development for  women small holder farmers worldwide.  In 
2020 , GODAN organised a webinar with speakers from GODAN, LandPortal 
Foundation and UniqueMappersTeam to share ideas on  Empowering Women for Open 
Data Mapping in Agriculture: Implications for Land Rights and the SDGs in 
Africa.


Details at 
https://landportal.org/blog-post/2020/05/empowering-women-open-data-mapping-agriculture-implications-land-rights-and-sdgs


https://www.godan.info/news/godan-webinar-empowering-women-open-data-mapping-agriculture-implications-land-rights



The work that UniqueMappersTeam are doing for SDG2 and  women smallholder 
farmers land rights is very important for  Zero Hunger and SDG aims.  
UniqueMappersTeam have contributed to the "GeoForAll contributions to the 
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals" aims 
https://www.osgeo.org/foundation-news/geoforall-miniconference-at-world-commons-week-2019/




Empowerment of women would not only empower individuals, increasing their 
earnings; but would also serve to empower families and entire farming 
communities, and partnership is a key factor to effectuating that change.


Please register for the webinars on both days (6th March and 8th March) at


https://www.godan.info/events/women-and-digitalisation-agriculture-overcoming-data-divide



I am grateful to millions of women small holder farmers from all over the world 
for their contributions for Zero Hunger Aim.


Best wishes,


Suchith

[OSGeo-Discuss] Developers are invited to the 2021 Joint ASF – OGC – OSGeo Code Sprint

2021-01-27 Thread SERGIO ACOSTAYLARA

FYI:


 [OGC] 




Developers are invited to the 2021 Joint ASF – OGC – OSGeo Code Sprint

Code sprint will advance multiple ASF, OSGeo projects, and OGC standards - 
including OGC API standards, the building blocks for location.

[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

Asunto: [OSGeo-Discuss] 2020 OSGeo AGM – First virtual annual general meeting

News item at,
https://www.osgeo.org/foundation-news/2020-osgeo-agm-first-virtual-annual-general-meeting/

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we held our annual general meeting (AGM)
virtually this year on 10 September 2020. In this news article, we provide a
short report on this successful event.

This year’s OSGeo annual general meeting (AGM) was dedicated to the memory of
Olivier Courtin (charter member from 2014) who recently passed. Olivier was a
member of the MapServer PSC, co-founder of the Oslandia chapter and creator of
the TinyOWS project. He was a beloved member of the OSGeo community and will be
missed by all. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

The OSGeo annual general meeting (AGM) took place on 10 September 2020 and had
over 100 participants worldwide that attended the event. Since then, the
recording on YouTube has been
viewed over 460 times. The aim of the AGM was to provide an update on the
activities of the Board of Directors, upcoming events, projects, committees and
many more. You can view the full slide deck
here.

To start the AGM off, our President, Angelos Tzotsos provided a quick overview
of OSGeo including membership, sponsor and local chapters as this meeting was
open to the general community and not only charter members. This was followed
by reports from the chair of the board, the treasurer and secretary. Next the
chief returning officer (CRO) presented the information from the 2019 election
at which 38 nominees were confirmed as charter members. OSGeo currently has 456
active charter members.

OSGeo is also excited to announce that we are a Category A liaison with ISO/TC
211 which will allow our members to
access documentation and also participate in the standardising process.
Additionally over the last 2 years we have also strengthened our relationship
with OGC, and relevant projects are working hard on certification services for
OGC compliance. We have also participated in the OGC code
sprints and hope to do more joint events in the future.

Unfortunately, the 2020 global conference, called FOSS4G, had to be cancelled
due to the current COVID-19 pandemic and travel restrictions. The board and all
OSGeo members thank the local organising committee for their hard work. But
this event led into the discussion of how we will handle conferences and events
in a post-COVID society. At the moment, the 2021 FOSS4G in Buenos Aires is
still confirmed. There were also a number of successful online events (i.e.
conferences, code sprints, etc) that were held in 2020 and we thank all the
organisers.

This was followed by the reports from various projects, committees and
initiatives. All 8 current committees present on their work since the last AGM
and plans for the upcoming year. Additionally, the Lexicon committee also
presented their work as they were in formation. Next was the OSGeo projects,
and a total of 20 projects presented their activities and how they are working
under the current circumstances. There are currently 4 active projects in
incubation working hard to graduate to full OSGeo projects, and 6 community
projects. An advantage of the virtual AGM was that projects had a bit more
time, and it was great to hear about all their accomplishments. All
participants were amazed by the amount of work that all the projects have done
over the last year and we like to thank all the contributors and leadership
teams.

OSGeo is proud of the fact that we have over 60 local chapters world-wide on
all continents (apart from Antartica). These chapters provide a way for members
across the world to connect with like minded individuals in their own country
and language. Every year there is a large number of local events, and this
would not be possible without the local leadership and enthusiastic community,
thank you all! We have 24 local chapters that presented their activities during
the AGM.

OSGeo and its members are also involved in various initiatives, such as the
Google Summer of Code (GSoC), Google Code-in (GCI) and Google Season of Docs
(GSoD). Each of these presented what happened in the 2019/2020 edition of these
activities as they are key to attract students to open source development

About the award
---
The Sol Katz Award for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial
(FOSS4G) is awarded annually by OSGeo to individuals who have
demonstrated leadership in the FOSS4G community. Recipients of the award
have contributed significantly through their activities to advance open
source ideals in the geospatial realm. The award acknowledges both the
work of community members, and pay tribute to one of its founders, for
years to come.

https://www.osgeo.org/community/awards/


Anita Graser’s speech after receiving the Sol Katz Award
-
“As people working in open source projects, we are constantly reminded
that we are all standing on the shoulders of giants.
However, particularly this year, we also see just how important small
personal connections are. For me, my involvement with open source
communities really took off when I joined the QGIS hackfest in Vienna in
2009 and I felt that my participation was really appreciated and
welcome. I couldn’t imagine being without these connections anymore.

Thank you to the whole QGIS community, particularly my fellow PSC
members both current and former: Tim, Andreas, Jürgen, Richard, Paolo,
Otto, Marco Hugentobler, Alessandro, our new chair Marco Bernasocchi,
and of course QGIS founder Gary Sherman for starting this awesome
project and for still being around and actively promoting geospatial
open source by publishing so many great books covering multiple
different OSGeo projects.

I’d also like to thank my partner and my family for being incredibly
understanding whenever I’m spend my time geeking out over a new
programming project, data analysis, forum question, or conference talk.

Thank you also to my friends, colleagues and fellow members of the
larger OSGeo community for sharing ideas, providing valuable feedback,
and spreading the word about all the great work that’s going on all
around us.

I’m constantly amazed by all the innovation happening to nourish and
grow our community. And I’m looking forward to continue being a part of
these efforts.

Thank you! “

Wanted to pass on to a link provided by the open source initiative 
(https://opensource.org). As you know OSGeo relies on OSI to short-list free 
software and open source licenses that are acceptable to the Foundation.  And 
then OSGeo adds on a host of additional requirements to ensure our projects are 
open in other respects (communication, decisions, docs, ...).

OSI started a group https://clearlydefined.io/about that looks at some of these 
other concerns and may be of interest to folks here.

Hi Sergio,

have you tried with advanced labelling on gvSIG? You can access to "Labels 
defined by user" and at "Placement" button you can select how you want to show 
the labels (Orientation, Location, Duplicates...). Here you have the Labelling 
options at the manual:
- Spanish: 
http://downloads.gvsig.org/download/web/es/build/html/user_manual/2.3/manual/018.html
- English: 
http://downloads.gvsig.org/download/web/en/build/html/user_manual/2.3/manual/018.html

Placement options are shown at the end of the web page.

Best regards,
  Mario

Hi everybody!

As you have seen I was in the recent months looking for various covd-19 maps 
and making an exercise of analysing them. In those I notice that I have no 
access or less to "oriental" or "non-occidental" maps; I mean, maps created in 
China or India or Vietnam or may be in Congo or Zambia... I wonder if they look 
different... if the colours are different because of their meaning.. or if they 
are displaying in another form. Which kind of symbols are they using? Or is 
really everybody usinfg just the ESRI platform? Do you have any idea or 
examples of that?
I thank you very much for your ideas, links or suggestions.

Got a couple of these in the bank now, and I see us doing this into the future 
on a monthly basis.   Currently linking to the them from our Local Chapter page:

https://www.osgeo.org/local-chapters/twin-cities-mn-usa-chapter/

We're running these once a month, and  currently announce over a few of the 
OSGeo lists,  but it's been suggested to cast a wider audience and the idea cam 
up of sending in a news item to OSGeo.  Is this something worthy of a news

Dear all,


The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development 
(ICIMOD) has been organizing the "Empowering women in 
geospatial information technology" training under its SERVIR Hindu Kush 
Himalaya (SERVIR-HKH) Initiative for the past two 
years. The training course, extended exclusively to young women from Nepal, 
provides them with theoretical as well as practical knowledge in the use of EO 
data and GIT using real-world examples from the HKH region. In its third 
iteration and in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this intensive 
four-day course is being offered online to eligible women in Nepal. The 
training covers a wide range of topics, including principles of geographic 
information science (GIS), basic concepts of remote sensing (RS), image 
calculation and spectral indices, and mapping using open source tools to solve 
emerging environmental problems. Details at 
https://servir.icimod.org/events/empowering-women-in-geospatial-information-technology


It is great to see that ICIMOD are using Free and Open GIS in their training 
programs. Details on their recent training event for Virtually empowering women 
in Nepal with geospatial skills during the COVID-19 lockdown at  
https://servir.icimod.org/news/virtually-empowering-women-in-nepal-with-geospatial-skills-during-the-COVID-19-lockdown


GeoForAll community would like to send our congratulations to ICIMOD for 
organising this important initiative . This is an excellent example of  
Bridging the Geospatial Digital Divide and providing geo digital economy 
opportunities for all [1],[2],[3],[4].


On behalf of GeoForAll, I would also like to thank Women in GIS, Kenya [5] for 
their contributions to GeoForAll. Details at

Hello Victoria and the whole OSGeo GCI team,

thanks a lot for sharing this information.

Sad to hear that there will be not GCI in the future.

It os so impressive to see your numbers about only 3 year that OSGeo
participated - 898 students and 2096 completed tasks. Wow. Amazing.

Thanks a lot to the OSGeo GCI Admins team and all mentors, people and
projects involved in GCI. GCI was a great way to get young people
introduced and involved in Open Source Software and bring people from
all over the world together and inspire to collaborate. Thanks a lot.

Asunto: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Analysis] Geospatial server deployment statistics

Hi All,
At the risk of engaging in self-promotion, this may be of interest to
the community.

I've just finished an analysis of what geospatial server software's
behind the ~2.2 million WMS/WFS/WCS/WMTS datasets that GeoSeer has in
its search-engine index.

The extremely short version of things likely of interest here:

* ArcGIS has by far the most deployments: 2,755 (53.70%); other
proprietary is a rounding error.

* GeoServer is the second most popular for deployments (964 (18.79%)),
and hosts by far the most datasets: 963,603 (43.26%).

* MapServer has a very healthy deployment count too: 544 (10.6%), and
serves a considerable number of datasets: 389,709 (17.49%).

* Put another way, at least 2/3rds of the world's geospatial data that's
served via OGC standards is served by Open Source software (mostly
OSGeo). And over 60% between GeoServer and MapServer alone.

* So basically it looks like many city/county/provincials have an ArcGIS
Server install and use that for (occasionally token!) compliance with
"open data" edicts, but the full-on SDI data warehouses almost all go
for Open Source.

You can find (much) more detail (+ numbers for a bunch of the other
OSGeo projects) in the (ad-free, tracking-free, cookie-free,
javascript-free, in fact both free and Free!) blog post:
https://www.geoseer.net/blog/?p=2020-06-04_geospatial_server_software


So yes, good job to everyone who contributes in any way to all these
projects! Hopefully this reinforces how useful they are; maybe you can
use it in future work-bids too (its the sort of thing that reassures
management). Could also be be useful when it comes to figuring out where
limited OSGeo funds will have most impact.

Comments/thoughts/discussion/feedback welcome (on or off list).
Cheers,
Jonathan

[OSGeo-Discuss] Space Apps Challenge global virtual hackathon 30-31 May

2020-05-15 Thread SERGIO ACOSTAYLARA

Space Apps Challenge global virtual hackathon 30-31 May is being launched by 
NASA, ESA, and JAXA to develop COVID-19 solutions. For the first time, the 
hackathon will offer an opportunity to use open-source data generated by these 
three space agencies:

Participants from around the world will create teams in chat rooms which - 
during a 48-hour period - will use Earth observation data to come up with 
solutions to COVID-19-related challenges ranging from studying the coronavirus 
that causes COVID-19 and its spread to the impact the disease is having on the 
Earth system.

The 4 themes of the Global hackathon are:

  *   Learning about the virus and its spread using space-based data;
  *   Local response/change and solution;
  *   Impacts of COVID-19 on the Earth System / Earth system response;
  *   Economic opportunity, impact, and recovery during and following COVID-19.


Volunteers to act as subject-matter experts are invited (deadline 15 May): 
https://forms.gle/sXdfEh1YEt1UD9nw7

Participant registration is now open: After your registration you will receive 
the challenges which will be sent out a week before the event.

FYI online webinars organised dy QGIS  mexico user groups have the following 
setup (all video are available here 
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwd223Om2zRQdsU1ghRz_zQ/videos yesterday live 
is https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwd223Om2zRQdsU1ghRz_zQ/videos)

- Jitsi meet for speakers
- a Streamer person to who all speakers ar connected with Jitsi meet.
- The streamer person, with a good laptop and good upload network, use OBS to 
stream his jitsi window + audio directly to a video streaming platform (they 
use youtube)
Attenders chat and interact using the streaming platform chat, but they can use 
telegram or something else, but having in the same streaming platform can allow 
playback having chat recorded
- Every one can enter in jitsi meet (e.g voice questions with or without video) 
just rising hand => the moderator (e.g. the streamer person) pass him the 
conference link (shared privatly) to connect to the conf.
- an alternative audio setup with really low latency just for question and 
discussion is using mumble.

IMHO for a conference there are really good FOSS alternatives to Zoom o other 
proprietary stuffs.

We (Spanish QGIS user group) are plannign AGM next month using similar setup... 
adding voting stuffs or via Telegram/polls or via others as star.vote...

some tools listed in:

Trying a second time because the first post did not seem to get through

Hi

A couple of weeks back the OSGeo:UK team (Jo Cook, Dave Barter, Steven Feldman, 
Alastair Graham, Antony Scott and Matt Travis) mentioned on twitter that we 
were trying to put together an online FOSS4G event.

We are delighted to now formally announce that we will be running FOSS4GUK 
Online on 17th June.

This will be an online-only event intended to give us a little FOSS4G fix while 
we are in, or just coming out of, lock-down. It will be a chance to share some 
of the work we’ve been doing during (or in spite of) this strange time, as well 
as a useful experiment in how we can run online conferences alongside our face 
to face events in the future.

We hope that the online format will allow our community across the UK and from 
further afield to participate from their desktops whether it is for the whole 
day or dipping in and out for an hour or two. We want to make the online event 
as interactive and engaging as possible so we are open to your suggestions via 
the Call for Presentations.

Technology
We have decided to use zoom to run this event, we looked at most of the 
alternatives (open and proprietary) and we concluded that zoom offered the best 
platform for us to run this event in terms of stability, scalability, features 
and ease of use for delegates and admins. We have tested on Linux, Mac, 
Windows, Android and iOS. It is also very reasonably priced so we are able to 
run the event as a free event for hundreds of delegates, we will probably 
encourage delegates to make a charitable donation but that will not be 
mandatory.

Call for Presentations
We welcome technical talks, demos, user stories (particularly ones about the 
use of FOSS4G tech during the Covid19 crisis), thought pieces... In fact we 
welcome any talks that are based on Open Source Geo and are not pushing a sales 
message.

We will also be offering a small number of workshops (ca 90 minutes) which will 
need to be instruction style rather than fully interactive.

Our call for 
presentations
 has been extended until the 18th May, we hope you give us a hard choice 
choosing what to include in the programme.

Volunteering
We need volunteers to help in the planning and build-up stages and also to help

the challenges results



Dear colleagues,


We would like to invite you  to join the online event on 6th May 2020 at 12 PM 
CEST  concluding the Kampala INSPIRE hackathon. You will learn about the 
results achieved by 10 teams who have addressed the 10 challenges that covers 
agriculture, food security,  citizen science and more.


The INSPIRE hackathons are not a competition, rather the main focus is building 
relationships, making rapid developments, and collecting ideas for future 
research and innovation. The goal of the Kampala INSPIRE Virtual Hackathon 2020 
is to continue to build and strengthen relationships between several EU 
projects and African communities that started in 2019 with the Nairobi INSPIRE 
hackathon.


You are invited to join us in celebrating the fruits of this international 
collaboration to support a sustainable Africa. The INSPIRE hackathon is not an 
event, it is a process. You can read more about the projects at 
https://www.plan4all.eu/updates/kampala-inspire-hackathon-2020-challenges/


The awards ceremony is where the top 3 teams/results will be announced by the 
jury. The results from the Kampala INSPIRE hackathon are an important basis for 
further collaborations, for new project developments, and for inspiration and 
use.


Registration link at 
https://plan4all.lpages.co/2020-kampala-inspire-hackathon-workshop/

In response to the COVID-19 crisis, an unprecedented coalition has come 
together to launch "Earth School," a free, high quality educational portal to 
help students, parents and teachers around the world who are currently at home 
to explore the science and beauty of planet Earth.


Launched today on the 50th anniversary of Earth Day by the United Nations 
Environment Programme (UNEP), 
TED-Ed, and supported by more than 30 other collaborators 
including the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) and over 100 individual 
contributors, Earth School is a new educational platform available to teachers, 
students, and curious global citizens.


More details at http://www.earthobservations.org/geo_blog_obs.php?id=424


We take this occasion of Earth Day to reaffirm the ever important role of Earth 
observations for understanding and protecting our planet and our shared future.

Dear OSGeo Community,

at the last board meeting the new elected OSGeo Board 2019 appointed the
Executive Positions for OSGeo.

At our last board meeting (2019-12-30) the new elected OSGeo Board
appointed the Executive Positions for OSGeo. We had a very productive
discussion and appointed the positions with full consensus.

The OSGeo Board is pleased to announce the following executive positions
[1]

Executive
President: Angelos Tzotsos
Vice-President: Vicky Vergara
Vice-President: Helena Mitasova
Vice-President: Victoria Rautenbach
Vice-President: Codrina Maria Ilie
Treasurer: Michael Smith
Secretary: Astrid Emde

Board
Chair: Till Adams

We are pleased to welcome the new OSGeo President Angelos Tzotsos.
Angelos is well known in the community and active in many projects. He
is part of the OSGeo Board since 2016 and he served as OSGeo
Vice-President since 2018. His leadership will be an asset going forward
with OSGeo.

We decided to accompany the OSGeo President with four Vice-Presidents to
share all the commitments an OSGeo President has to satisfy and
represent OSGeo at events all over the world; we therefore also welcome
Helena Mitasova, Vicky Vergara, Victoria Rautenbach and Codrina Maria
Ilie as Vice-Presidents of OSGeo.

The Board would like to thank Michael Smith for again volunteering for
the role of OSGeo treasurer for another year and continuing to help
OSGeo with financial matters.

The Board would also like to thank Astrid Emde for again volunteering

Dear colleagues,



I wish to take this opportunity to thank  everyone for your support and 
contributions for Open Principles in Science and Education.


Access to quality education opportunities is everyone’s birthright. Open 
Education is a simple and powerful idea that the world’s knowledge is a public 
good. I am grateful to all of you for your contributions for making education 
opportunities available for everyone.  Let us all work to bridge the  digital 
divide and provide digital economy opportunities for everyone.


I wish you and your families very happy holidays and a successful New Year 2020.



Best wishes,


Suchith

Dear OSGeo members,

The 2019 OSGeo board of directors election is still running.

Unfortunately, today our LimeSurvey instance was down, from early
morning (first problem reported at 5:56) until 18:00 (UTC time).

Fortunately, our SAC team was able (even on a Saturday) to put it back
online. Thank you to Markus and Regina (she did the magic!) for
recovering LimeSurvey.

Due to this inconvenience, we extended the voting period until tomorrow
night, Sunday, 2019-12-01, 23:59 (UTC time).

Please cast your vote, if you didn't do it yet.

Best regards,

Jorge Gustavo Rocha and Anne Ghisla

Dear Community,

just passed and survived the last FOSS4G in Bucharest, the community is
looking forward for the next global FOSS4G conferences. We, OSGeo's
Conference Committee, are happy to announce the call for location for the

"Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial Conference 2021"

to be held in "other regions". Precisely this means that the conference
can be anywhere on the world, except Europe and North America. Only in
case that we do not receive any appropriate bid from these parts of the
world, we will consider to accept bids from Europe or North America.

Summer holidays are over, no reason not to start your work, grab some
people together, build a team, have fun and work out your bid! 2021 is
right around the corner and be proud to get all the FOSS4G folks to your
country, to your city, to your pub and introduce them to your local
environment!

Please find all details on [1] and more background information on [2].
In case that you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask the
conference committee or your barkeeper ;-)!


Have fun!

Till, on behalf of OSGeo's Conference committee

I came across a recent op-ed by Prof. Mariana Mazzucato on "Digital Feudalism"
at

https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/platform-economy-digital-feudalism-by-mariana-mazzucato-2019-10?utm_source=Project+Syndicate+Newsletter_campaign=d192f2bc47-sunday_newsletter_6_10_2019_medium=email_term=0_73bad5b7d8-d192f2bc47-105013549_cid=d192f2bc47_eid=a8cee90b20

Prof. Mazzucato is a leading researcher and thinker on Technology and
Innovation, advisor to the European Commission on research and innovation
strategy, and author of two important books on the subject "The Value of
Everything" and "The Entrepreneurial State".

The report on "Mission-oriented Research and Innovation in the European Union"
might be of interest

https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info/files/mazzucato_report_2018.pdf

Since the use of cloud platforms for GIS data analysis is having a huge impact
on the GIS community, the subject is of relevance. I would like learn more on
this

1. Are there any examples of Digital Feudalism in GIS?
2. How will Digital Feudalism in GIS affect our future generations?
3. What policies are governments, regulators doing to reduce Digital
Feudalism in GIS?
4. What policies and curriculum are universities, educators adopting to
reduce Digital Feudalism in GIS?

Best wishes,

Suchith

I volunteer to  help you and be the "organizing chair/moderator" of this 
GeoForAll community miniconference for the World Commons Week. Please let me 
know the exact day/time and I will coordinate this with Rafael. I thank all 
colleagues who volunteered to present for this webinar mini conference.  Your 
help and support is greatly appreciated.


I would also like to add one more agenda item on GeoForAll support for STEM 
education in schools especially for economically poor students globally. I came 
across an excellent initiative for widening STEM education opportunities for 
female students that GEO is involved in Ghana at 
http://earthobservations.org/geo_blog_obs.php?id=368



GeoForAll is committed to support STEM education opportunities for women. As 
many  GEO colleagues will be at FOSS4G, I suggest that we reach out to GEO and 
explore ways for working together for expanding STEM education opportunities 
for students globally.


Best wishes,

on geoeducation

Hi Andreea, Suchith and other GeoForAll/OSGeo colleagues,

(Sorry I won't be there next week).

Again, one tangible GeoForAll community building effort we can do is to start 
an annual GeoForAll community webinar mini-conference, as part of this World 
Commons Week (October 6-12) I 
am organizing. Open Source Geospatial projects are an important subset of 
"world commons" digital projects. I hope in the GeoForAll BOF meeting this idea 
of a mini-conference as part of this global event can be discussed and refined. 
It will also help draw attention to OSGeo/GeoForAll by others who need 
geospatial technologies to study natural resource commons who don't know about 
them.

But from my previous posts on this idea, here are the colleagues who responded 
and signaled their interest to do this (thanks to those below!). I'm not sure 
each wanted to present something or not?

  *   Victor N.Sunday, Team Coordinator, UniqueMappersTeam, Port Harcourt 
Nigeria. -- Open Source and Open Data for All
  *   Suchith Anand Dr. Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition By 
webinar United Kingdom  -- Open Principles in Science and Education
  *   Sergio Acosta y Lara, Architect Comunidad gvSIG, Uruguay, Montevideo 
Uruguay -- Experiences from the 3rd edition of the course-contest Projects with 
students and gvSIG Batoví
  *   Victoria Rautenbach, Dr University of Pretoria Pretoria South Africa.  
GeoNode for data management and sharing
  *   Paulo Cesar Coronado, Engineer, Universidad Distrital Francsico José de 
Caldas, Bogota Colombia. SIG con herramientas OSGeo (GIS with OSGeo tools)

But this is a nice cross-section of some of the GeoForAll labs. Raphael Moreno 
has nicely agreed to use his webinar platform.

QUESTIONS, maybe for the BOF meeting:

1) What is the goal of such a online "mini-conference"? I would argue it would 
be to learn what other labs are doing and to build a richer dialog across labs.
2) Would each of these people listed want to present, say, for 15-30 minutes 
about their topics or lab activities? Anyone else want to participate?
3) What day/time range during the week of October 6-12 would we want to run 
this GeoForAll community online miniconference?
4) Is there someone in the GeoForAll community

(too much GIS in this title)

It is in French and show a complete processing run through with QGIS, PostGIS, 
GeoServer and Leaflet. All captures were done in OSGeoLive and an appendix

Hello GeoFolks!

We are already editing the AGM slides for this year. All chapters,
projects and initiatives are invited to present on our annual meeting
their status updates, their plans for the future and their past
achievements. This is going to be one minute of fame and shine, don't
let it pass! It is important for all of us to know what is happening
everywhere. OSGeo is huge and this is the best way to get a summary of
all the amazing work we are doing!

The slides are here:
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1imiG7x09ry7lGvmS15FCVq2Z7yaICY00fcpXBK27TXY/edit?usp=sharing
If you want to edit it and still don't have privileges to do so,
please let me know and tell me which team you represent so I can give
you privileges.

The rule is KISS[0]: We all have to fit in the time slot of the
closing plenary session[1], so make sure you use only one (or two)
slides per team. Be quick and fair. I will be moderating and I am
going to be very strict: those who exceed their time assigned will
walk the plank[2] out of the scenario. I won't make exceptions because
that means that the latest groups will have less time (or no time) to
shine. If I have to cut a phrase in half, don't doubt it, I will.

We won't know how much time each team will have until we know how many
teams are going to present. But considering previous years, in
average, you will have 45 seconds, including the time to enter
scenario and moving out. This means: every speaker has to be already
on the back of the scenario while the previous presenter is talking.
Don't wait for any moderator to introduce you, just start talking when
the previous speaker is done. You only have one minute for everything
you are going to do on the scenario. If you are not on the scenario
when your time starts, you may not be able to present.

I will contact each group in the following days to make sure everyone
is aware, but don't wait for me to start assembling a team to work on
this!

Some examples of good slides:
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1imiG7x09ry7lGvmS15FCVq2Z7yaICY00fcpXBK27TXY/edit?ts=5d3686f8#slide=id.g403f0344e9_1_0

Hi folks,
Google has emailed us to let us know that our OSGeo Foundation application to 
join their Season of Docs initiative has been successful. (We are one of 50 
selected out of 200 organisation applications).

This means that we are likely to get 1 or 2 senior technical writers to work on 
some of the writing tasks proposed. 
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Season_of_Docs_Ideas_2019

A lot of people helped put this proposal together, and I'd like to thank them 
for their help.

Cheers,

OSGeo folks,

As per below, Google's Season of Docs is inviting Open Source projects to put 
in proposals. I'll be putting in an OSGeoLive proposal [1], and suggest we do 
so under the name of the OSGeo Foundation (along with other OSGeo projects). 
The QGIS documentation team have also noted their interest.

Are their any other OSGeo projects wishing to take part?

I plan to follow the same format as prior OSGeo's Summer of Code initiatives, 
and will put together wiki pages over the next week or so.

I'm looking for a few others to co-mentor with me. Anyone interested?

From:   'Andrew Chen' via Season of Docs - Announce 

Reply-To:   Andrew Chen 
To: Season of Docs - Announce 




Open source organizations can now submit applications to participate in Season 
of Docs. The application form is at this link: 
https://forms.gle/axk8AvV561K2cT6S6. The form is also available in the 
organization administrator 
guide on the 
Season of Docs website.


Your application should include one or more projects that you'd like a 
technical writer to work on. Take a look at the examples of project 
ideas, then 
describe one or more specific projects based on your open source project's 
actual documentation needs. See the application 
guidelines.
 Your goal is to attract technical writers to your organization, making them 
feel comfortable about approaching the organization and excited about what they 
can achieve in collaboration with your mentors.


Reach out to your community members to see who'd like to be a mentor for Season 
of Docs. They may also have great suggestions for project ideas. Mentors don't 
need technical writing skills. Instead, they're members of the open source 
organization who know the value of good documentation and who are experienced 
in your organization's processes and tools. See the guidelines on working with 
a technical 
writer.
 Once you have selected mentors for your organization, have them register with 
Season of Docs using this form: https://forms.gle/a1x26WQGzURLerv66.


Organization applications close on April 23. From April 30, technical writers 
can explore the list of participating open source organizations and their 
project ideas. See the full 
timeline on the 
Season of Docs website.

If you have any questions about the program, please email us at 
season-of-docs-supp...@googlegroups.com.

Asunto: [OSGeo-Discuss] Applicaiton for your regional Event Travel Grant 
Programme (TGP) for 2019

Dear OSGeo community,

- sorry for the delay in the procedure -

The board dedicated the OSGeo conference committee a budget for
supporting travel grant programmes for our global FOSS4G event, but also
for supporting regional FOSS4G events.

We will share the budget, so that one major part will support the global
FOSS4G event, but there is still budget, with which we want to support
regional events.

As we have no clue, how many regional events will apply for support, we,
OSGeo's Conference Committee (CC) decided to first *call for
applications*. Depending on the number of applications, we decide later
whether selection is necessary and how to select events to support. What
we do not want to have is a "first comes, first serves", because that
would favour events, that take place earlier in the year.

Applicants should email the CC list with the info requested at [1],
please send your application until 19th of April.

If possible, it would be great if you would also number the amount of
support that you would like to receive.

When we see how many applications we receive, we will then decide
whether CC needs to set up a basic set of requirements for decision.


Till and Steven for OSgeo's CC

@All members of the community: be prepared and responsive in the coming days to

and then succeed. We encourage you to get to know the students and help them 
get to know you! Please continue to flesh out your ideas lists and 
documentation over the next few weeks."

Please, forward this email to your developer and community mailing list.

@Students:
According to the official timeline [2], student application period will be 
March 25, 2019 - April 9, 2019.

For your convenience, this year you can also download the proposal template 
from [3]. After filling the template and detailing the proposal, it must be 
submitted following the guidelines given by Google.

Remember to submit your proposal well in advance, so that you can make the most 
out of the feedback from mentors and the community at large and refine your 
proposal until final deadline. Read the application instructions here [4]. The 
same page contains all the info you need before taking action, read it all 
carefully! Good luck everyone!

We admins will be available as always at http://osgeo.org>>, however, consider using public channels if the 
topic is not sensitive, i.e. soc mailing list [5]

We are looking forward to working with you towards another awesome edition of

I am very grateful to see the amazing contributions from the student community 
globally to OSGeo. This is very inspiring to see their volunteer work . 
GeoForAll is committed to provide geoeducation and Digital economy 
opportunities to all .


We are planning to have a GeoForAll meeting at FOSS4G 2019 to discuss and plan 
ideas for the future. It will be similar to FOSS4G 2018 GeoForAll meeting [1] 
and aimed  to bring together colleagues from GeoForAll labs globally to discuss 
and plan actions for the future . Having FOSS4G 2019 in Romania will be a great 
opportunity for us bring together (esp. for all GeoForAll labs in Europe , this 
is a great opportunity to meet) to plan ideas for expanding OSGeo in School 
education through Teacher training programs.


Andreea Marin (Faculty of Geography,University of Bucharest) [1]  has kindly 
agreed to be local contact for the GeoForAll meeting at FOSS4G 2019. Andreea 
worked to establish  the first Romanian Open Source Geospatial Lab at the 
University of Bucharest.


May I request that  colleagues who are planning to be at FOSS4G 2019  to please 
volunteer  as co-organiser of this meeting  and help Andreea for this. Please 
contact Andreea directly if you can help with this. I want to thank FOSS4G 2019 
LOC  colleagues for their work and efforts. I wish you all success.


Best wishes,

Asunto: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G2019 Bucharest: registration open

Dear FOSS4G enthusiast,

It is with great honor and joy that we announce that the registration
for FOSS4G 2019 Bucharest is open [1]! And more..

We promised to do our best to make this global FOSS4G the most
affordable of all times and we kept our word. Joining the geospatial
international community for one week packed with dynamic, valuable,
timely events in a vibrant European capital city is more at hand than
ever before. The EarlyBird for FOSS4G 2019 Bucharest is at the
historical level of 330 EUR and it offers you everything you could ever
need for such a tech gathering:

- Access to plenary session (28- 30 august)
- Access to conference tracks (28- 30 august)
- Access to 300+ talks
- Access to mobile app
- Ability to contact attendees
- Access to Ice Breaker Party (29 august)
- Access to Gala Dinner (29 august)
- Access to Pub Race Offers (28-30 august)
- Access to Academic papers post event
- Access to presentations post event
- Conference kit
- Email support

The #historicalearlybird registration is coupled with the unbelievable
accessible accommodation and traveling expenses. Bucharest is a
significant European traffic node and one of the low-cost favorite
destination points, more than 70 airports have direct connections [2]
with Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport (also check our CARTO
interactive map with estimated prices [3]). Browsing through the
accommodation page on the FOSS4G 2019 website [4], you’ll find all
types, ranging from a wonderful downtown hostel with a sky bar to city
center 5* hotels, we have special negotiated deals for any taste and
wallet. Please be aware that, due to high demand, the special prices are
available only until the end of January.

Not convinced yet? To show our appreciation for our early participants,
we have prepared 100 special T-shirts for the first 100 registered
participants. Not convinced yet? Be among the first 100, and you will
also receive the Romanian Curios Passport. Curious? Be among the first
100 registered participants.

No FOSS4G would be possible without the valuable input of sponsors. They
are the conference’s backbone contributing to the values, principles and
progress of our community. Support us in our work to organize FOSS4G2019
Bucharest as one of the most memorable FOSS4G events. The call for
sponsors is now open. Please, take a look at our suggestions [5] and
find the one that best suits your needs and preferences.

Sponsoring is not yet possible but you want to actively contribute to
the success of FOSS4G 2019 Bucharest? Become a volunteer! Besides
valuable input in making FOSS4G 2019 happen, you will receive a free
ticket to the conference (including the ice breaker and gala dinner).
Interested [6]?

Sponsorship is not for you, neither volunteering but you still want to
help FOSS4G 2019, then Spread the Word [7]!

Yet of course, traveling to a FOSS4G is meeting the geospatial gurus,
old friends and collaborators, making new friends, finding new
opportunities and presenting your own work. Within the next week,
another important call will open, the Call for Papers and Workshops. The
committees are almost fully  formed and ready for action. We are honored
to say that the FOSS4G 2019 program will be shaped by remarkable people
in the geospatial international community. Check out the Committee
webpage [8] to see who will review your FOSS4G 2019 contribution.

In the weeks to come, important steps will follow, as opening the call
for academic papers, announcing keynote speakers, so stay tuned
[9][10][11]! We promise our #historicalearlybird will prove to be even
more convincing, as FOSS4G2019 Bucharest wheels turn.

With hope to see you all here in Bucharest, best wishes for a Happy New
Year!

Announcing OSGeo’s 2018 Google Code-in winners

Google Code-in (GCI) is an annual online competition aimed at introducing 
pre-university students (13-17 years old) to open source projects, development 
and communities, through short 3-5 hour tasks [1]. As opposed to the Google 
Summer of Code program, in GCI students are not selected by the organizations, 
but freely pick up tasks from one or more mentoring organizations and complete 
them. Students qualify for different prizes (i.e. certificate, t-shirts, 
hoodies and the grand prize of visiting Google’s main headquarters in San 
Francisco) depending on the number of tasks they complete. During GCI, OSGeo 
project members have a unique opportunity to interact with pre-university 
students and to encourage them to become part of their respective projects.

The OSGeo team consisted of 18 community members that contributed 132 tasks 
from 10 projects (e.g. istSOS, GRASS GIS, GeoServer, MapServer, pgRouting, 
PostGIS, and Leaflet) and also OSGeo and FOSS4G.

The 2018 Google Code-in (GCI) took place 23 October - 12 December 2018 and 
OSGeo had 218 students that completed a task with us. These 218 students 
completed 471 tasks [2]. This is slightly down from last year, but this can be 
contributed to the change in dates of the competition. The completed tasks 
range from designing badges for the OSGeo website, to tests for GRASS GIS, or 
bug fixes for PostGIS. These tasks might seem simplistic in some cases, but the 
combined results are of great value to OSGeo.

OSGeo is pleased to announce the 2018 Google Code-in Grand Prize winners, who 
each receive a free trip to Google headquarters in California, along with a 
parent/guardian, are students (note that these are the student’s account names, 
due to privacy concerns):

  *   Mattoopackoo
  *   ShubhamSharama

OSGeo’s Google Code-in finalists (who receive Google hoodies) are:

  *   Armaan
  *   Flash
  *   Shivam Rai
  *   SunveerSingh

See here: https://codein.withgoogle.com/winners/#winners the winners from all 
organisations [3].

Congratulations to the winners and finalists! But also a special 
congratulations to all students that received a certificate and/or t-shirt. We 
greatly appreciate your contribution to OSGeo!

Lastly, thank you to the OSGeo mentors for the time they spent on the tasks and 
mentoring the students. Without your commitment this would not have been 
possible.

Thank you to everyone involved, mentors and students.

Dear colleagues and friends,


I wish to take this opportunity to thank  everyone for your support and 
contributions for Open Principles in Science and Education.


Access to quality education opportunities is everyone’s birthright. Open 
Education is a simple and powerful idea that the world’s knowledge is a public 
good. Openness is key for true empowerment and sustainability.   GeoForAll is 
committed to work towards the vision of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for 
Sustainable Development for building a better world for everyone. Let us all 
keep working together to enable open principles in education to help create a 
world that is more accessible, equitable and full of innovation and 
opportunities for everyone.


I am grateful to all of you for your contributions for making geoeducation 
opportunities available for everyone.  Let us all work to bridge the geospatial 
digital divide and provide digital economy opportunities for everyone.  I wish 
you and your families very happy holidays and a successful new year.

Hi all, I can't remember if I've told everyone yet, but all presentation videos 
are now finished and posted. A few quick notes:


  *   one video was not published by request of the presenter

  *   total published: 51 videos, 8.26 GB

  *   published with CC-BY licence

  *   videos are posted on the FOSS4G SotM Oceania YouTube channel [1] and 
embedded in the website [2]

  *   Also to be hosted at TIB [3]

[2] https://foss4g-oceania.org/videos

[3] https://av.tib.eu

They are getting a lot of views - I think Nyall's 'QGIS for Exploratory Data 
Analysis and Visualisation' is #1 right now with 249 views... so I feel we're 
successfully reaching the broader audience, which makes it all seem worth it :)

If no one objects, I'll grab a handful of USB thumb drives and make a few 
copies to send to our friends in low-bandwidth areas (esp Pacific Islands), 
will aim to do that this weekend so the expense falls in with the current event 
financials. Greg would you be keen to help me distribute these?

Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo web style guide

Hi all,

Greetings from the FOSS4G-Asia code sprint in Colombo, Sri Lanka !

Taking advantage of this session to finally wrap up and publish a very first 
version of the OSGeo style guide as HTML.

This is an entry point to our branding material, aimed at providing guidelines 
in a more accessible way (only PDF is available for now).

A preview of the style guide is available here:
https://nbozon.github.io/OSGeo/styleguide/

Code is available here:
https://github.com/nbozon/osgeo/tree/OSGeo-styleguide/marketing/branding/styleguide

This is built on top of mdwiki, 
using markdown as a simple structure, rendered with Javascript only.
As markdown styling capabilities are limited, you may notice that i had to 
include quite a bit of inline HTML to make it work and meet the guidelines (for 
proper use of fonts, colors, reponsive images...). A specific CSS file was also 
written with love to make it as shiny as possible :)

This is a first version that needs your feedbacks and remarks to be completed. 
I hope we as Marketing Committee can work together to review, correct, enhance 
and make it live.
Please review and comment on the dedicated PR available here:
https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/pull/208

The initial idea (discussed earlier this year with Jeffrey and Jody) would be 
to host this work on a subdomain such as https://brand.osgeo.org that should 
become the entry point to all the material and guidelines we have on Github. I 
would be happy to collaborate with Marketing and SAC to make this happen.

Code sprint is coming to and end now, all ready for lunch !
This was an awesome FOSS4G-Asia event this week, and i would like to deeply 
thank the Sri Lankan LOC again for the great work they did and perfect 
organization they provided.

Best regards,

Nick

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Election 2018 Board of Directors elections results

2018-12-04 Thread SERGIO ACOSTAYLARA

Thank you very much Vasile. Great work from you and others from the CRO. Big 
welcome to new members. I'm glad to see that the board is more and more 
balanced in terms of gender. On the other hand other balances are still hard to 
achieve: six of the nine members of the new Board (if I'm not wrong) come from 
countries that have English as its official language; all members are from the 
so-called First World (we could probably take out Victoria from it). This 
doesn't mean I'm confident the new Board will do a very good job. This only 
means we need to continue working towards a more equitable and democratic 
-OSGeo- world. I think we're on the right path. Maybe slower than we wish 
but... As Italians say: piano piano si va lontano.
I'm very happy and proud to be part of this Community.

Nicolas, these symbols look very impressive!

As Kristian noticed, there are a few OSGeoLive projects which have logos which 
are not as creative as what you have been creating. (See 
https://live.osgeo.org/en/presentation.html ) I'd be happy to help point you to 
our OSGeoLive points of contact for each project if you would like to ask them 
if you'd like to draw them a logo.

What are your thoughts on logo colours? I'm guessing it would be quite a bit of 
work to adopt logo colours into the SVG?

Once you are done, we should probably be including your logos into the 
OSGeoLive documentation.

Nice work, Cameron

Nicolas,

Very impressive work!

Regarding projects that doesn't already have logo, would you be interested in 
coming up with logo suggestions for those projects? I can only speak for the 
PROJ project, but I am sure all projects without a logo would be interested in 
having one. At least a new logo for PROJ would be very welcome!

Good job,

Kristian

Hello all,

I have finally been able to put together and publish a first version of the 
OSGeo symbols set.

This is a visual representation of the OSGeo projects and activities aimed at 
supplementing the Foundation branding material.

A preview of the OSGeo symbols set is available here:
https://nbozon.github.io/OSGeo/symbols-set/

The 48 symbols fall into four categories:
- Foundation (OSGeo fundamentals represented by 'Variations on the Compass')
- Initiatives (mostly based on the compass shape too)
- Projects (derived OSGeo project logos)
- Community (derived Community projects logos)

The set is made of two parts, both copyrighted OSGeo:
- The source SVG documents, licensed under CC-BY-SA
 (see 
https://github.com/nbozon/osgeo/tree/OSGeo-symbols-set/marketing/branding/symbols/svg)
- A cross-browser webfont, licensed under OFL.
(see 
https://github.com/nbozon/osgeo/tree/OSGeo-symbols-set/marketing/branding/symbols/font)

Important notes:
- Some projects do not have a logotype, only logotext, and cannot be included 
in the set at this stage (namely PROJ, GEOS, OSSIM and Degree).
- Some projects logos were heavily modified or redrawn, in order to ensure 
constistency and scalability. I'm listening to project owners feedbacks and 
will be glad to work towards better solutions if needed.
- All 48 symbols are made available as black SVG. The 16 Foundation and 
Initiatives icons are also available in color, based on our brand guidelines.
- This work may not be exhaustive and is subject to change.

Hope you will like it !

Reviews, comments and ideas are most welcome in the related PR:

Dear all,

With roughly two hours before the board nomination deadline, we have
only 4 nominations for 4 seats. From what I know, this is without
precedent in our history. As CRO, I cannot comment on the apparent low
interest for the most important decision structure in OSGeo. However, I
know that it's in the best interest of our community to have a real
competition for the board of directors. That's why I propose to extend
the nomination deadline with one more week. I'm confident that this
extra time will help OSGeo to grow the already strong candidate list for
our board.

Asunto: [Geo4All] Harnessing the digital potential to drive higher education 
transformation in Africa


Dear colleagues,


Science and Education Ministers from some African countries, over  85 Vice 
Chancellors from universities across Africa as well as key scientists from 
across the world came together last week (22-26 October 2018) in Nairobi, Kenya 
as part of the  Sixth African Higher Education Week and the RUFORUM Biennial 
Conference  for discussing ideas 
for "Aligning African Universities to accelerate attainment of Africa's Agenda 
2063". These meetings were hosted by the Government of Kenya through the 
Ministry of Education and 12 RUFORUM member universities in Kenya.


I was invited as lead speaker to address on the topic of  "Harnessing the 
digital potential to drive higher education transformation in Africa". I used 
the opportunity to share ideas on GeoForAll and requested all Vice Chancellors 
and colleagues to contribute ideas for enabling the Right to Benefit from 
Scientific Progress for everyone through Open Principles in Science and 
Education. We need to take urgent steps to reduce the digital divide and enable 
opportunities for everyone to benefit from digital economy opportunities.


GeoForAll is a simple idea powered by a global community who are all working 
for a selfless aim on providing Open Education opportunities for all. I want to 
thank the organisers to inviting me and providing me the opportunity to share 
ideas on Open principles in Science and Education.  Access to quality education 
and  entrepreneurship opportunities is key for getting rid of extreme poverty 
and enable broadly shared prosperity for all. We look forward to working and 
building collaborations with all interested on our open education mission.


Best wishes,


Suchith

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Elections 2018 update

2018-10-08 Thread SERGIO ACOSTAYLARA

I feel bad about this because I would have liked to be more active in the 
election process and being busy with other tasks I forgot about the dates. I 
was planning to introduce strongly GeoForAll Iberoamérica in these elections so 
as to have more charter members from this region. My apologies for not being 
able to do it. I will try it the next time.

Asunto: [OSGeo-Discuss] Elections 2018 update

Dear all,

Just a quick recap of the 2018 Elections:

- Vicky Vergara and Jorge Gustavo Rocha volunteer to help the CRO. Thanks!

- We got 36 valid nominations. We are still expecting some confirmations
from the nominees. For this reasons we are extending the first stage of
the charter members elections with 48 hours. However, no new nominations
will be accepted. Only confirmations of nomination acceptance from the
nominees.

- The electronic voting system is ready for charter members to second
the nominations, preventing the last year stress of seconding via the
discuss mailing list. Nominal vote invitations will be sent to all our
charter members on 10 of October. Thanks to SAC for setting up the
electronic voting system and to Vicky for her magic scripts.

Thank you all for caring about OSGeo,
Vasile + Vicky & Jorge
