Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Board] AGM Followup - what our foundation is doing in 2017

Agreed, that is where it was listed in the slides. On the website GSOC it
is under initiatives :)

I love seeing a balance, initiatives provided a great oppeetunity for
members who cannot commit to an ongoing committee.

Thanks Angelos you are appreciated, we should reach out to the project
officers etc...

I note as GeoTools representative I did not make a report yet. In previous
years the AGM used links,
https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/geotools-report-2012, that also
works well for email and IRC.

I think for the much smaller list of committees updates can be included in
the normal meeting.

​I'm sure there was a state of QGIS presentation​ but if you need input, I
volunteer to provide info during the next board meeting
​ - or probably better - here on the list.

GSoC is surely no committee: the "members" are not stable, volunteer
mentors change from one year to another, there is no  "less active" members
as sometimes happens in committees; there is no much voting, admins are
responsible for administrative stuff, mentors are responsible for their own
mentoring activity; etc. I think the definition of initiative suits better.
I'm not sure about the actual definition in use in OSGeo, but if OSGeo-Live
is an initiative, I see similarities with GSoC: cross-project initiative,
aiming at outreach and growing projects.

Thank you

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Board] AGM Followup - what our foundation is doing in 2017

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Thanks Jody,

It looks like the following projects have not provided an update during 
the AGM and should be called to attend our next board meeting:


- gvSIG
- Marble
- QGIS
- FDO
- GDAL/OGR
- GEOS
- GeoTools
- OSSIM
- PostGIS
- GeoNetwork
- deegree
- geomajas
- Mapbender
- MapFish
- MapGuide Open Source
- OpenLayers

Given the number of the projects in that list, perhaps it would be 
easier to organize separate meetings (or video calls), asking projects 
and board members to attend.


I volunteer to follow up with the project officers and arrange those 
meetings if the board approves.


Best,
Angelos

I am (CCing) the discussion list here as this is a fun update.

The main action item is to invite projects and committees who missed the
AGM to the next board meeting (Board Meeting 2017-11-02
). Anita has also
identified this as an opportunity to start thinking about next years budget.

The slides are here:

We had reports from the board and core officers (or delegate):

Committees:

- Incubation Committee
- GSoC - is this a committee or initiative?
