Unfortunately the logo from Maria was withdrawn due to concerns from the committee that it was entirely based on Maori images.

== Logo Entry by Florent Fougères ==

I chose to use four symbols, Auckland's sky tower and a Maori motif represented in boat sails. All with a contour line motif from Rangitoto Island just outside Auckland. For the colors, a mix of blue and green to symbolize the link between mountain and sea, and a hint of red, an important color in Maori culture.

== Logo Entry by Adam Steer ==

The key element in this proposal is spiral motif drawn as a Koru, a traditional polynesian design inspired by an unfurling fern frond. Spirals are an important symbol to almost all cultures globally - this specific rendering is local to Oceania and is an integral part of Māori art and culture. The intention is to represent FOSS4G as a gathering of global cultures and recognising the common bonds we share as a heterogeneous network. Because this is the first gathering of the global FOSS4G community in Oceania since 2009, other symbolic meanings of the Koru apply - new growth, connection, the circle of life.

Using OpenStreetMap data from Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland as a decorative element brings an open geospatial data component to the design - which is also created entirely using open source tools. Colours/text/fonts are almost infinitely adaptable.

Should this concept succeed, any awards will be donated to the FOSS4G 2025 travel grant programme.

== Logo Entry by Natalia Ramsay ==

A brief description of the logo choices:
* The kiwi is a symbol of intuition, and are often associated with all things odd or eccentric considering their unusual ecological niche, anatomy, and behaviors. I wanted to use it because it's a recognisable icon of Aotearoa, and I think that us map makers and geospatial peoples can relate to the bird, as we often find ourselves having to use our intuition or think outside the box.
* The dashed line is a nod to dashed polylines commonly used in cartography, but also represents a trail/track. GIS has come a long way, and the future for it is bright - this line represents the past and future of geospatial.
* The colours and font are definitely modifiable (well, anything in the design can be), but I just chose them to attempt to match the OSGeo branding :).

Get your creative juices flowing - we can’t wait to see what you come up with!

=== How to enter ===
* '''File Formats:''' Create your logo in '''PNG''' format and also in a scalable format, such as '''SVG''' or '''PDF'''. (Think big - your logo might end up on a billboard!)
* '''Not a pro with scalable formats?''' No worries! Submit what you’ve got - we’re here to help make it work
* '''Upload Options:'''
# Upload your logo to the OSGeo Wiki, [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:Upload upload link]

Create a design that dazzles, and you could be the star of the show - literally!

=== Distribution ===
Your logo will be everywhere - truly! It’ll feature on:
*The '''conference website''', '''social media''', '''flyers''', and '''emails'''
*'''Sponsor communications''' and all sorts of '''conference swag''' (think t-shirts, bags, lanyards, pens - you name it)
*'''Printed materials''' at the conference banners and the official conference guide
*'''Web-based button images''' for use on third-party websites, blogs, or wherever people want to proudly promote their speaking gig or attendance

In short, your design will be the face of the conference - seen by geospatial geeks, enthusiasts, and the world!

===Special Interest Groups===
Special Interest Groups (SIG) are ad-hoc groups that have been established to support a specific topic. Their narrow, topic specific focus is what distinguishes them from the functionally focused working groups. Any member of OSGeo Oceania can propose the creation of a new SIG by following the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qeiDdZS84BTgp6Er88YBaPKtLrUBDqt7hguy2dzXqPM/edit#heading=h.16tbdbw1xygl SIG Guidelines outlined here].

==== QGIS Oceania ====
QGIS Oceania is a "Special Interest Group" of OSGeo Oceania. Its purpose is to provide support to the QGIS network in Oceania promoting the use of QGIS, advocating for professional development, and combining resources (time and monetary) to meet targets identified by the community. The SIG is not intended to replace the roles and responsibilities of local QGIS User Groups, but to support them in their endeavours.

The QGIS SIG charter is [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lrewntrC0N1r6mfZdo1AdPhe2qTEaN5hDA2pcL0mrvI here].

Steering committee: Andrew Jeffrey, Emma Hain, John Bryant, Nathan Woodrow, Nyall Dawson

==== OpenStreetMap Oceania ====
OSGeo Oceania [https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Local_Chapters has been recognised] by the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF) as the official local chapter in the region. [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RzMq3p4VAENBkvl1pWIXom4oP6A_j_5EqI7DB_4n0xA/edit?usp=sharing A charter] to establish OpenStreetMap Oceania is a SIG is currently awaiting board approval.

As the official local chapter of the OpenStreetMap Foundation in the region, we are able to support the development of the OpenStreetMap community in Oceania while making sure our diverse range of interests are represented, supported, and promoted. A working group has been established under OSGeo Oceania to focus specifically on OpenStreetMap and our role as a local chapter. The working group is still determining its long term priorities, so [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vjb5ALk_KedSVoFVacw3QCEvVvyTKLafu4ji_g0bfqM/edit?usp=sharing feel free to contribute to the discussion here].

Minutes from the inaugural meeting [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TOTHXim1USSbmgR_AftmRRk2GWOwiYM8OhFm0AuA1A8/edit# can be found here].

Anyone within Oceania is welcome to join the working group and attend working group meetings.

Chair TBD. Interested parties are currently: Edoardo Neerhut, Andrew Harvey, Luke Stewart, Jonah Sullivan, Martin Tomko, David Brown, Angus Scown, Violaine Doutreleau, James Nuccio, Carrol Chan, Kamsin Raju, Greg Lauer, Kasaqa Tora, Edwin Liavaa, Malcolm Archbold, Julie Callebaut, David Garcia

Note, while OSGeo Oceania is currently the recognised local chapter in the region, we are fully supportive of other groups that may form in Oceania with the intent of becoming a local chapter. One example would be a national entity that determines their interests would better represented as an independent local chapter. If this was to occur, OSGeo Oceania would be fully supportive and will not claim to speak for groups who do not wish to be represented.

== Organisation ==

[https://osgeo-oceania.org/ OSGeo Oceania's] purpose is to support and grow the open geospatial community in the Oceania region, including the oversight and stewardship of the FOSS4G SotM Oceania conference series.

The Oceania region includes countries listed in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_geoscheme_for_Oceania United Nations Geoscheme for Oceania]. We have also included Timor-Leste in our Travel Grant Program. We recognise the important cultural and social connections with other countries in the broader region, such as the Philippines.

We recognise the long-established [[Pacific Islands Chapter]] of OSGeo, and work closely with them to build a strong community across our region.

== How to learn more & get involved ==

The best way to stay up to date on what we're doing is to join our mailing lists:
* [https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/oceania oceania] - discussion about the regional open geospatial community and OSGeo Oceania

===Special Interest Groups===
Special Interest Groups (SIG) are ad-hoc groups that have been established to support a specific topic. Their narrow, topic specific focus is what distinguishes them from the functionally focused working groups. Any member of OSGeo Oceania can propose the creation of a new SIG by following the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qeiDdZS84BTgp6Er88YBaPKtLrUBDqt7hguy2dzXqPM/edit#heading=h.16tbdbw1xygl SIG Guidelines outlined here].

==== QGIS Oceania ====
QGIS Oceania is a "Special Interest Group" of OSGeo Oceania. Its purpose is to provide support to the QGIS network in Oceania promoting the use of QGIS, advocating for professional development, and combining resources (time and monetary) to meet targets identified by the community. The SIG is not intended to replace the roles and responsibilities of local QGIS User Groups, but to support them in their endeavours.

The QGIS SIG charter is [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lrewntrC0N1r6mfZdo1AdPhe2qTEaN5hDA2pcL0mrvI here].

Steering committee: Andrew Jeffrey, Emma Hain, John Bryant, Nathan Woodrow, Nyall Dawson

==== OpenStreetMap Oceania ====
OSGeo Oceania [https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Local_Chapters has been recognised] by the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF) as the official local chapter in the region. [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RzMq3p4VAENBkvl1pWIXom4oP6A_j_5EqI7DB_4n0xA/edit?usp=sharing A charter] to establish OpenStreetMap Oceania is a SIG is currently awaiting board approval.

As the official local chapter of the OpenStreetMap Foundation in the region, we are able to support the development of the OpenStreetMap community in Oceania while making sure our diverse range of interests are represented, supported, and promoted. A working group has been established under OSGeo Oceania to focus specifically on OpenStreetMap and our role as a local chapter. The working group is still determining its long term priorities, so [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vjb5ALk_KedSVoFVacw3QCEvVvyTKLafu4ji_g0bfqM/edit?usp=sharing feel free to contribute to the discussion here].

Minutes from the inaugural meeting [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TOTHXim1USSbmgR_AftmRRk2GWOwiYM8OhFm0AuA1A8/edit# can be found here].

Anyone within Oceania is welcome to join the working group and attend working group meetings.

Chair TBD. Interested parties are currently: Edoardo Neerhut, Andrew Harvey, Luke Stewart, Jonah Sullivan, Martin Tomko, David Brown, Angus Scown, Violaine Doutreleau, James Nuccio, Carrol Chan, Kamsin Raju, Greg Lauer, Kasaqa Tora, Edwin Liavaa, Malcolm Archbold, Julie Callebaut, David Garcia

Note, while OSGeo Oceania is currently the recognised local chapter in the region, we are fully supportive of other groups that may form in Oceania with the intent of becoming a local chapter. One example would be a national entity that determines their interests would better represented as an independent local chapter. If this was to occur, OSGeo Oceania would be fully supportive and will not claim to speak for groups who do not wish to be represented.

== Organisation ==

[https://osgeo-oceania.org/ OSGeo Oceania's] purpose is to support and grow the open geospatial community in the Oceania region, including the oversight and stewardship of the FOSS4G SotM Oceania conference series.

The Oceania region includes countries listed in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_geoscheme_for_Oceania United Nations Geoscheme for Oceania]. We have also included Timor-Leste in our Travel Grant Program. We recognise the important cultural and social connections with other countries in the broader region, such as the Philippines.

We recognise the long-established [[Pacific Islands Chapter]] of OSGeo, and work closely with them to build a strong community across our region.

== How to learn more & get involved ==

The best way to stay up to date on what we're doing is to join our mailing lists:
* [https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/oceania oceania] - discussion about the regional open geospatial community and OSGeo Oceania

===Special Interest Groups===
Special Interest Groups (SIG) are ad-hoc groups that have been established to support a specific topic. Their narrow, topic specific focus is what distinguishes them from the functionally focused working groups. Any member of OSGeo Oceania can propose the creation of a new SIG by following the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qeiDdZS84BTgp6Er88YBaPKtLrUBDqt7hguy2dzXqPM/edit#heading=h.16tbdbw1xygl SIG Guidelines outlined here].

==== QGIS Oceania ====
QGIS Oceania is a "Special Interest Group" of OSGeo Oceania. Its purpose is to provide support to the QGIS network in Oceania promoting the use of QGIS, advocating for professional development, and combining resources (time and monetary) to meet targets identified by the community. The SIG is not intended to replace the roles and responsibilities of local QGIS User Groups, but to support them in their endeavours.

The QGIS SIG charter is [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lrewntrC0N1r6mfZdo1AdPhe2qTEaN5hDA2pcL0mrvI here].

Steering committee: Andrew Jeffrey, Emma Hain, John Bryant, Nathan Woodrow, Nyall Dawson

==== OpenStreetMap Oceania ====
OSGeo Oceania [https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Local_Chapters has been recognised] by the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF) as the official local chapter in the region. [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RzMq3p4VAENBkvl1pWIXom4oP6A_j_5EqI7DB_4n0xA/edit?usp=sharing A charter] to establish OpenStreetMap Oceania is a SIG is currently awaiting board approval.

As the official local chapter of the OpenStreetMap Foundation in the region, we are able to support the development of the OpenStreetMap community in Oceania while making sure our diverse range of interests are represented, supported, and promoted. A working group has been established under OSGeo Oceania to focus specifically on OpenStreetMap and our role as a local chapter. The working group is still determining its long term priorities, so [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vjb5ALk_KedSVoFVacw3QCEvVvyTKLafu4ji_g0bfqM/edit?usp=sharing feel free to contribute to the discussion here].

Minutes from the inaugural meeting [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TOTHXim1USSbmgR_AftmRRk2GWOwiYM8OhFm0AuA1A8/edit# can be found here].

Anyone within Oceania is welcome to join the working group and attend working group meetings.

Chair TBD. Interested parties are currently: Edoardo Neerhut, Andrew Harvey, Luke Stewart, Jonah Sullivan, Martin Tomko, David Brown, Angus Scown, Violaine Doutreleau, James Nuccio, Carrol Chan, Kamsin Raju, Greg Lauer, Kasaqa Tora, Edwin Liavaa, Malcolm Archbold, Julie Callebaut, David Garcia

Note, while OSGeo Oceania is currently the recognised local chapter in the region, we are fully supportive of other groups that may form in Oceania with the intent of becoming a local chapter. One example would be a national entity that determines their interests would better represented as an independent local chapter. If this was to occur, OSGeo Oceania would be fully supportive and will not claim to speak for groups who do not wish to be represented.

Alexgleith: Add 2023-24 budget

== Organisation ==

[https://osgeo-oceania.org/ OSGeo Oceania's] purpose is to support and grow the open geospatial community in the Oceania region, including the oversight and stewardship of the FOSS4G SotM Oceania conference series.

The Oceania region includes countries listed in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_geoscheme_for_Oceania United Nations Geoscheme for Oceania]. We have also included Timor-Leste in our Travel Grant Program. We recognise the important cultural and social connections with other countries in the broader region, such as the Philippines.

We recognise the long-established [[Pacific Islands Chapter]] of OSGeo, and work closely with them to build a strong community across our region.

== How to learn more & get involved ==

The best way to stay up to date on what we're doing is to join our mailing lists:
* [https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/oceania oceania] - discussion about the regional open geospatial community and OSGeo Oceania
* [https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/foss4g-oceania foss4g-oceania] - FOSS4G SotM Oceania conference planning
* [https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/oceania-board oceania-board] - OSGeo Oceania board discussion (public, but read only)
* [https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/oceania-board-private oceania-board-private] - non-public OSGeo Oceania board discussion (private, board member access only)

There's also a lot of informal chatter on the Maptime Oceania Slack group: [https://join.slack.com/t/maptimeoceania/shared_invite/enQtNDU3MTU3ODkyMjU2LThiMWU4MjZjNjM0ZWRiMWZlNWE2OTZjYjM0ZTMzZDEwMzc5MTAzN2Q2MzMyZDMzYTMwNjc5NGIxYjY4MDRiMjM join here]

And you can head to the conference website (link below) and join the conference updates mailing list there.

If you want to talk about how you can get involved, feel free to post on any of these lists, or drop us a line at admin@osgeo-oceania.org.

===Special Interest Groups===
Special Interest Groups (SIG) are ad-hoc groups that have been established to support a specific topic. Their narrow, topic specific focus is what distinguishes them from the functionally focused working groups. Any member of OSGeo Oceania can propose the creation of a new SIG by following the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qeiDdZS84BTgp6Er88YBaPKtLrUBDqt7hguy2dzXqPM/edit#heading=h.16tbdbw1xygl SIG Guidelines outlined here].

==== QGIS Oceania ====
QGIS Oceania is a "Special Interest Group" of OSGeo Oceania. Its purpose is to provide support to the QGIS network in Oceania promoting the use of QGIS, advocating for professional development, and combining resources (time and monetary) to meet targets identified by the community. The SIG is not intended to replace the roles and responsibilities of local QGIS User Groups, but to support them in their endeavours.

The QGIS SIG charter is [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lrewntrC0N1r6mfZdo1AdPhe2qTEaN5hDA2pcL0mrvI here].

Steering committee: Andrew Jeffrey, Emma Hain, John Bryant, Nathan Woodrow, Nyall Dawson

==== OpenStreetMap Oceania ====
OSGeo Oceania [https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Local_Chapters has been recognised] by the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF) as the official local chapter in the region. [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RzMq3p4VAENBkvl1pWIXom4oP6A_j_5EqI7DB_4n0xA/edit?usp=sharing A charter] to establish OpenStreetMap Oceania is a SIG is currently awaiting board approval.

As the official local chapter of the OpenStreetMap Foundation in the region, we are able to support the development of the OpenStreetMap community in Oceania while making sure our diverse range of interests are represented, supported, and promoted. A working group has been established under OSGeo Oceania to focus specifically on OpenStreetMap and our role as a local chapter. The working group is still determining its long term priorities, so [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vjb5ALk_KedSVoFVacw3QCEvVvyTKLafu4ji_g0bfqM/edit?usp=sharing feel free to contribute to the discussion here].

Minutes from the inaugural meeting [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TOTHXim1USSbmgR_AftmRRk2GWOwiYM8OhFm0AuA1A8/edit# can be found here].

Anyone within Oceania is welcome to join the working group and attend working group meetings.

Chair TBD. Interested parties are currently: Edoardo Neerhut, Andrew Harvey, Luke Stewart, Jonah Sullivan, Martin Tomko, David Brown, Angus Scown, Violaine Doutreleau, James Nuccio, Carrol Chan, Kamsin Raju, Greg Lauer, Kasaqa Tora, Edwin Liavaa, Malcolm Archbold, Julie Callebaut, David Garcia

Note, while OSGeo Oceania is currently the recognised local chapter in the region, we are fully supportive of other groups that may form in Oceania with the intent of becoming a local chapter. One example would be a national entity that determines their interests would better represented as an independent local chapter. If this was to occur, OSGeo Oceania would be fully supportive and will not claim to speak for groups who do not wish to be represented.

== Organisation ==

[https://osgeo-oceania.org/ OSGeo Oceania's] purpose is to support and grow the open geospatial community in the Oceania region, including the oversight and stewardship of the FOSS4G SotM Oceania conference series.

The Oceania region includes countries listed in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_geoscheme_for_Oceania United Nations Geoscheme for Oceania]. We have also included Timor-Leste in our Travel Grant Program. We recognise the important cultural and social connections with other countries in the broader region, such as the Philippines.

We recognise the long-established [[Pacific Islands Chapter]] of OSGeo, and work closely with them to build a strong community across our region.

== How to learn more & get involved ==

The best way to stay up to date on what we're doing is to join our mailing lists:
* [https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/oceania oceania] - discussion about the regional open geospatial community and OSGeo Oceania
* [https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/foss4g-oceania foss4g-oceania] - FOSS4G SotM Oceania conference planning
* [https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/oceania-board oceania-board] - OSGeo Oceania board discussion (public, but read only)
* [https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/oceania-board-private oceania-board-private] - non-public OSGeo Oceania board discussion (private, board member access only)

There's also a lot of informal chatter on the Maptime Oceania Slack group: [https://join.slack.com/t/maptimeoceania/shared_invite/enQtNDU3MTU3ODkyMjU2LThiMWU4MjZjNjM0ZWRiMWZlNWE2OTZjYjM0ZTMzZDEwMzc5MTAzN2Q2MzMyZDMzYTMwNjc5NGIxYjY4MDRiMjM join here]

And you can head to the conference website (link below) and join the conference updates mailing list there.

If you want to talk about how you can get involved, feel free to post on any of these lists, or drop us a line at admin@osgeo-oceania.org.

===Special Interest Groups===
Special Interest Groups (SIG) are ad-hoc groups that have been established to support a specific topic. Their narrow, topic specific focus is what distinguishes them from the functionally focused working groups. Any member of OSGeo Oceania can propose the creation of a new SIG by following the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qeiDdZS84BTgp6Er88YBaPKtLrUBDqt7hguy2dzXqPM/edit#heading=h.16tbdbw1xygl SIG Guidelines outlined here].

==== QGIS Oceania ====
QGIS Oceania is a "Special Interest Group" of OSGeo Oceania. Its purpose is to provide support to the QGIS network in Oceania promoting the use of QGIS, advocating for professional development, and combining resources (time and monetary) to meet targets identified by the community. The SIG is not intended to replace the roles and responsibilities of local QGIS User Groups, but to support them in their endeavours.

The QGIS SIG charter is [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lrewntrC0N1r6mfZdo1AdPhe2qTEaN5hDA2pcL0mrvI here].

Steering committee: Andrew Jeffrey, Emma Hain, John Bryant, Nathan Woodrow, Nyall Dawson

==== OpenStreetMap Oceania ====
OSGeo Oceania [https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Local_Chapters has been recognised] by the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF) as the official local chapter in the region. [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RzMq3p4VAENBkvl1pWIXom4oP6A_j_5EqI7DB_4n0xA/edit?usp=sharing A charter] to establish OpenStreetMap Oceania is a SIG is currently awaiting board approval.

As the official local chapter of the OpenStreetMap Foundation in the region, we are able to support the development of the OpenStreetMap community in Oceania while making sure our diverse range of interests are represented, supported, and promoted. A working group has been established under OSGeo Oceania to focus specifically on OpenStreetMap and our role as a local chapter. The working group is still determining its long term priorities, so [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vjb5ALk_KedSVoFVacw3QCEvVvyTKLafu4ji_g0bfqM/edit?usp=sharing feel free to contribute to the discussion here].

Minutes from the inaugural meeting [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TOTHXim1USSbmgR_AftmRRk2GWOwiYM8OhFm0AuA1A8/edit# can be found here].

Anyone within Oceania is welcome to join the working group and attend working group meetings.

Chair TBD. Interested parties are currently: Edoardo Neerhut, Andrew Harvey, Luke Stewart, Jonah Sullivan, Martin Tomko, David Brown, Angus Scown, Violaine Doutreleau, James Nuccio, Carrol Chan, Kamsin Raju, Greg Lauer, Kasaqa Tora, Edwin Liavaa, Malcolm Archbold, Julie Callebaut, David Garcia

Note, while OSGeo Oceania is currently the recognised local chapter in the region, we are fully supportive of other groups that may form in Oceania with the intent of becoming a local chapter. One example would be a national entity that determines their interests would better represented as an independent local chapter. If this was to occur, OSGeo Oceania would be fully supportive and will not claim to speak for groups who do not wish to be represented.

Alexgleith: /* Documents & policies */

== Organisation ==

[https://osgeo-oceania.org/ OSGeo Oceania's] purpose is to support and grow the open geospatial community in the Oceania region, including the oversight and stewardship of the FOSS4G SotM Oceania conference series.

The Oceania region includes countries listed in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_geoscheme_for_Oceania United Nations Geoscheme for Oceania]. We have also included Timor-Leste in our Travel Grant Program. We recognise the important cultural and social connections with other countries in the broader region, such as the Philippines.

We recognise the long-established [[Pacific Islands Chapter]] of OSGeo, and work closely with them to build a strong community across our region.

== How to learn more & get involved ==

The best way to stay up to date on what we're doing is to join our mailing lists:
* [https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/oceania oceania] - discussion about the regional open geospatial community and OSGeo Oceania
* [https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/foss4g-oceania foss4g-oceania] - FOSS4G SotM Oceania conference planning
* [https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/oceania-board oceania-board] - OSGeo Oceania board discussion (public, but read only)
* [https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/oceania-board-private oceania-board-private] - non-public OSGeo Oceania board discussion (private, board member access only)

There's also a lot of informal chatter on the Maptime Oceania Slack group: [https://join.slack.com/t/maptimeoceania/shared_invite/enQtNDU3MTU3ODkyMjU2LThiMWU4MjZjNjM0ZWRiMWZlNWE2OTZjYjM0ZTMzZDEwMzc5MTAzN2Q2MzMyZDMzYTMwNjc5NGIxYjY4MDRiMjM join here]

And you can head to the conference website (link below) and join the conference updates mailing list there.

===Special Interest Groups===
Special Interest Groups (SIG) are ad-hoc groups that have been established to support a specific topic. Their narrow, topic specific focus is what distinguishes them from the functionally focused working groups. Any member of OSGeo Oceania can propose the creation of a new SIG by following the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qeiDdZS84BTgp6Er88YBaPKtLrUBDqt7hguy2dzXqPM/edit#heading=h.16tbdbw1xygl SIG Guidelines outlined here].

==== QGIS Oceania ====
QGIS Oceania is a "Special Interest Group" of OSGeo Oceania. Its purpose is to provide support to the QGIS network in Oceania promoting the use of QGIS, advocating for professional development, and combining resources (time and monetary) to meet targets identified by the community. The SIG is not intended to replace the roles and responsibilities of local QGIS User Groups, but to support them in their endeavours.

The QGIS SIG charter is [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lrewntrC0N1r6mfZdo1AdPhe2qTEaN5hDA2pcL0mrvI here].

Steering committee: Andrew Jeffrey, Emma Hain, John Bryant, Nathan Woodrow, Nyall Dawson

==== OpenStreetMap Oceania ====
OSGeo Oceania [https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Local_Chapters has been recognised] by the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF) as the official local chapter in the region. [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RzMq3p4VAENBkvl1pWIXom4oP6A_j_5EqI7DB_4n0xA/edit?usp=sharing A charter] to establish OpenStreetMap Oceania is a SIG is currently awaiting board approval.

As the official local chapter of the OpenStreetMap Foundation in the region, we are able to support the development of the OpenStreetMap community in Oceania while making sure our diverse range of interests are represented, supported, and promoted. A working group has been established under OSGeo Oceania to focus specifically on OpenStreetMap and our role as a local chapter. The working group is still determining its long term priorities, so [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vjb5ALk_KedSVoFVacw3QCEvVvyTKLafu4ji_g0bfqM/edit?usp=sharing feel free to contribute to the discussion here].

Minutes from the inaugural meeting [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TOTHXim1USSbmgR_AftmRRk2GWOwiYM8OhFm0AuA1A8/edit# can be found here].

Anyone within Oceania is welcome to join the working group and attend working group meetings.

Chair TBD. Interested parties are currently: Edoardo Neerhut, Andrew Harvey, Luke Stewart, Jonah Sullivan, Martin Tomko, David Brown, Angus Scown, Violaine Doutreleau, James Nuccio, Carrol Chan, Kamsin Raju, Greg Lauer, Kasaqa Tora, Edwin Liavaa, Malcolm Archbold, Julie Callebaut, David Garcia

Note, while OSGeo Oceania is currently the recognised local chapter in the region, we are fully supportive of other groups that may form in Oceania with the intent of becoming a local chapter. One example would be a national entity that determines their interests would better represented as an independent local chapter. If this was to occur, OSGeo Oceania would be fully supportive and will not claim to speak for groups who do not wish to be represented.

== Organisation ==

[https://osgeo-oceania.org/ OSGeo Oceania's] purpose is to support and grow the open geospatial community in the Oceania region, including the oversight and stewardship of the FOSS4G SotM Oceania conference series.

The Oceania region includes countries listed in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_geoscheme_for_Oceania United Nations Geoscheme for Oceania]. We have also included Timor-Leste in our Travel Grant Program. We recognise the important cultural and social connections with other countries in the broader region, such as the Philippines.

We recognise the long-established [[Pacific Islands Chapter]] of OSGeo, and work closely with them to build a strong community across our region.

== How to learn more & get involved ==

The best way to stay up to date on what we're doing is to join our mailing lists:
* [https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/oceania oceania] - discussion about the regional open geospatial community and OSGeo Oceania

===Special Interest Groups===
Special Interest Groups (SIG) are ad-hoc groups that have been established to support a specific topic. Their narrow, topic specific focus is what distinguishes them from the functionally focused working groups. Any member of OSGeo Oceania can propose the creation of a new SIG by following the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qeiDdZS84BTgp6Er88YBaPKtLrUBDqt7hguy2dzXqPM/edit#heading=h.16tbdbw1xygl SIG Guidelines outlined here].

==== QGIS Oceania ====
QGIS Oceania is a "Special Interest Group" of OSGeo Oceania. Its purpose is to provide support to the QGIS network in Oceania promoting the use of QGIS, advocating for professional development, and combining resources (time and monetary) to meet targets identified by the community. The SIG is not intended to replace the roles and responsibilities of local QGIS User Groups, but to support them in their endeavours.

The QGIS SIG charter is [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lrewntrC0N1r6mfZdo1AdPhe2qTEaN5hDA2pcL0mrvI here].

Steering committee: Andrew Jeffrey, Emma Hain, John Bryant, Nathan Woodrow, Nyall Dawson

==== OpenStreetMap Oceania ====
OSGeo Oceania [https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Local_Chapters has been recognised] by the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF) as the official local chapter in the region. [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RzMq3p4VAENBkvl1pWIXom4oP6A_j_5EqI7DB_4n0xA/edit?usp=sharing A charter] to establish OpenStreetMap Oceania is a SIG is currently awaiting board approval.

As the official local chapter of the OpenStreetMap Foundation in the region, we are able to support the development of the OpenStreetMap community in Oceania while making sure our diverse range of interests are represented, supported, and promoted. A working group has been established under OSGeo Oceania to focus specifically on OpenStreetMap and our role as a local chapter. The working group is still determining its long term priorities, so [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vjb5ALk_KedSVoFVacw3QCEvVvyTKLafu4ji_g0bfqM/edit?usp=sharing feel free to contribute to the discussion here].

Minutes from the inaugural meeting [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TOTHXim1USSbmgR_AftmRRk2GWOwiYM8OhFm0AuA1A8/edit# can be found here].

Anyone within Oceania is welcome to join the working group and attend working group meetings.

Chair TBD. Interested parties are currently: Edoardo Neerhut, Andrew Harvey, Luke Stewart, Jonah Sullivan, Martin Tomko, David Brown, Angus Scown, Violaine Doutreleau, James Nuccio, Carrol Chan, Kamsin Raju, Greg Lauer, Kasaqa Tora, Edwin Liavaa, Malcolm Archbold, Julie Callebaut, David Garcia

Note, while OSGeo Oceania is currently the recognised local chapter in the region, we are fully supportive of other groups that may form in Oceania with the intent of becoming a local chapter. One example would be a national entity that determines their interests would better represented as an independent local chapter. If this was to occur, OSGeo Oceania would be fully supportive and will not claim to speak for groups who do not wish to be represented.

== Organisation ==

OSGeo Oceania's purpose is to support and grow the open geospatial community in the Oceania region, including the oversight and stewardship of the FOSS4G SotM Oceania conference series.

The Oceania region includes countries listed in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_geoscheme_for_Oceania United Nations Geoscheme for Oceania]. We have also included Timor-Leste in our Travel Grant Program. We recognise the important cultural and social connections with other countries in the broader region, such as the Philippines.

We recognise the long-established [[Pacific Islands Chapter]] of OSGeo, and work closely with them to build a strong community across our region.

== How to learn more & get involved ==

The best way to stay up to date on what we're doing is to join our mailing lists:
* [https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/oceania oceania] - discussion about the regional open geospatial community and OSGeo Oceania

===Special Interest Groups===
Special Interest Groups (SIG) are ad-hoc groups that have been established to support a specific topic. Their narrow, topic specific focus is what distinguishes them from the functionally focused working groups. Any member of OSGeo Oceania can propose the creation of a new SIG by following the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qeiDdZS84BTgp6Er88YBaPKtLrUBDqt7hguy2dzXqPM/edit#heading=h.16tbdbw1xygl SIG Guidelines outlined here].

==== QGIS Oceania ====
QGIS Oceania is a "Special Interest Group" of OSGeo Oceania. Its purpose is to provide support to the QGIS network in Oceania promoting the use of QGIS, advocating for professional development, and combining resources (time and monetary) to meet targets identified by the community. The SIG is not intended to replace the roles and responsibilities of local QGIS User Groups, but to support them in their endeavours.

The QGIS SIG charter is [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lrewntrC0N1r6mfZdo1AdPhe2qTEaN5hDA2pcL0mrvI here].

Steering committee: Andrew Jeffrey, Emma Hain, John Bryant, Nathan Woodrow, Nyall Dawson

==== OpenStreetMap Oceania ====
OSGeo Oceania [https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Local_Chapters has been recognised] by the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF) as the official local chapter in the region. [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RzMq3p4VAENBkvl1pWIXom4oP6A_j_5EqI7DB_4n0xA/edit?usp=sharing A charter] to establish OpenStreetMap Oceania is a SIG is currently awaiting board approval.

As the official local chapter of the OpenStreetMap Foundation in the region, we are able to support the development of the OpenStreetMap community in Oceania while making sure our diverse range of interests are represented, supported, and promoted. A working group has been established under OSGeo Oceania to focus specifically on OpenStreetMap and our role as a local chapter. The working group is still determining its long term priorities, so [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vjb5ALk_KedSVoFVacw3QCEvVvyTKLafu4ji_g0bfqM/edit?usp=sharing feel free to contribute to the discussion here].

Minutes from the inaugural meeting [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TOTHXim1USSbmgR_AftmRRk2GWOwiYM8OhFm0AuA1A8/edit# can be found here].

Anyone within Oceania is welcome to join the working group and attend working group meetings.

Chair TBD. Interested parties are currently: Edoardo Neerhut, Andrew Harvey, Luke Stewart, Jonah Sullivan, Martin Tomko, David Brown, Angus Scown, Violaine Doutreleau, James Nuccio, Carrol Chan, Kamsin Raju, Greg Lauer, Kasaqa Tora, Edwin Liavaa, Malcolm Archbold, Julie Callebaut, David Garcia

Note, while OSGeo Oceania is currently the recognised local chapter in the region, we are fully supportive of other groups that may form in Oceania with the intent of becoming a local chapter. One example would be a national entity that determines their interests would better represented as an independent local chapter. If this was to occur, OSGeo Oceania would be fully supportive and will not claim to speak for groups who do not wish to be represented.

== Organisation ==

OSGeo Oceania's purpose is to support and grow the open geospatial community in the Oceania region, including the oversight and stewardship of the FOSS4G SotM Oceania conference series.

The Oceania region includes countries listed in the [https://www.wikiwand.com/en/United_Nations_geoscheme_for_Oceania United Nations Geoscheme for Oceania]. We have also included Timor-Leste in our Travel Grant Program. We recognise the important cultural and social connections with other countries in the broader region, such as the Philippines.

We recognise the long-established [[Pacific Islands Chapter]] of OSGeo, and work closely with them to build a strong community across our region.

== How to learn more & get involved ==

The best way to stay up to date on what we're doing is to join our mailing lists:
* [https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/oceania oceania] - discussion about the regional open geospatial community and OSGeo Oceania

===Special Interest Groups===
Special Interest Groups (SIG) are ad-hoc groups that have been established to support a specific topic. Their narrow, topic specific focus is what distinguishes them from the functionally focused working groups. Any member of OSGeo Oceania can propose the creation of a new SIG by following the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qeiDdZS84BTgp6Er88YBaPKtLrUBDqt7hguy2dzXqPM/edit#heading=h.16tbdbw1xygl SIG Guidelines outlined here].

==== QGIS Oceania ====
QGIS Oceania is a "Special Interest Group" of OSGeo Oceania. Its purpose is to provide support to the QGIS network in Oceania promoting the use of QGIS, advocating for professional development, and combining resources (time and monetary) to meet targets identified by the community. The SIG is not intended to replace the roles and responsibilities of local QGIS User Groups, but to support them in their endeavours.

The QGIS SIG charter is [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lrewntrC0N1r6mfZdo1AdPhe2qTEaN5hDA2pcL0mrvI here].

Steering committee: Andrew Jeffrey, Emma Hain, John Bryant, Nathan Woodrow, Nyall Dawson

==== OpenStreetMap Oceania ====
OSGeo Oceania [https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Local_Chapters has been recognised] by the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF) as the official local chapter in the region. [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RzMq3p4VAENBkvl1pWIXom4oP6A_j_5EqI7DB_4n0xA/edit?usp=sharing A charter] to establish OpenStreetMap Oceania is a SIG is currently awaiting board approval.

As the official local chapter of the OpenStreetMap Foundation in the region, we are able to support the development of the OpenStreetMap community in Oceania while making sure our diverse range of interests are represented, supported, and promoted. A working group has been established under OSGeo Oceania to focus specifically on OpenStreetMap and our role as a local chapter. The working group is still determining its long term priorities, so [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vjb5ALk_KedSVoFVacw3QCEvVvyTKLafu4ji_g0bfqM/edit?usp=sharing feel free to contribute to the discussion here].

Minutes from the inaugural meeting [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TOTHXim1USSbmgR_AftmRRk2GWOwiYM8OhFm0AuA1A8/edit# can be found here].

Anyone within Oceania is welcome to join the working group and attend working group meetings.

Chair TBD. Interested parties are currently: Edoardo Neerhut, Andrew Harvey, Luke Stewart, Jonah Sullivan, Martin Tomko, David Brown, Angus Scown, Violaine Doutreleau, James Nuccio, Carrol Chan, Kamsin Raju, Greg Lauer, Kasaqa Tora, Edwin Liavaa, Malcolm Archbold, Julie Callebaut, David Garcia

Note, while OSGeo Oceania is currently the recognised local chapter in the region, we are fully supportive of other groups that may form in Oceania with the intent of becoming a local chapter. One example would be a national entity that determines their interests would better represented as an independent local chapter. If this was to occur, OSGeo Oceania would be fully supportive and will not claim to speak for groups who do not wish to be represented.
