MOU HOT

2021-07-02T22:36:36Z

Helena:

=== MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU) ===

between

=== HUMANITARIAN OPENSTREETMAP TEAM UNITED STATES INC. ===

and

=== THE OPEN SOURCE GEOSPATIAL FOUNDATION ===

=== ''DRAFT'' ===

This Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is entered into by and between Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, located at 1100 13th Street NW, Suite #800 Washington, DC 20005, USA, hereinafter referred to as HOT and the Open Source Geospatial Foundation, hereinafter referred to as OSGeo, a non-governmental non-profit organisation, located at 9450 SW Gemini Dr. #42523 Beaverton, Oregon 97008, USA (also hereinafter referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”).

==== I. PURPOSE & SCOPE ====

The purpose of this MoU is to establish a collaborative relationship between OSGeo and HOT. Both parties to this MoU share the goal of fostering the use of open source geospatial software, to enable participatory community-driven development.

==== II. BACKGROUND ====

The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team United States, Inc. (HOT), applies the principles of open source and open data sharing for humanitarian response and economic development. Founded in the wake of the Haiti earthquake of 2010, responders and organizations recognized the need for accurate, accessible maps to aid in humanitarian response and the potential for international development interventions. Since then, HOT has utilized its network of tens of thousands of volunteers to contribute to OpenStreetMap, the free and editable map of the world. HOT’s network and tools enable everyone, local or international, to have an impact by putting places and areas home to people on the map.

The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to support and promote the collaborative development of open source geospatial software, data and education. The foundation provides financial, organizational and legal support to the broader open source geospatial community. It also serves as an independent legal entity to which community members can contribute code, funding and other resources, secure in the knowledge that their contributions will be maintained for public benefit. OSGeo also serves as an outreach and advocacy organization for the open source geospatial community, and provides a common forum and shared infrastructure for improving cross-project collaboration. The foundation's projects are all freely available at www.osgeo.org and usable under an OSI-certified open source license.

==== III. PROPOSED COMMITMENT - HOT AND OSGEO ====

Starting in 2021, HOT and OSGeo will work together to contribute to the following shared objectives:

* A. OSGeo to communicate about HOT's tools on OSGeo Live
* B. HOT and OSGeo to promote development of open geospatial communities (e.g. OSGeo chapters and OSM community groups) in HOT priority countries (list of 94 countries). This should include connecting OSGeo local chapters with Open Mapping Hubs supported by HOT in Asia Pacific, Eastern & Southern Africa (ESA), West Africa, and Latin America & the Caribbean, with the goal of facilitating delivery of training and funding (Microgrants) where relevant to OSGeo local chapters.
* C. HOT to promote use of open source geospatial tools (such as Geonode and QGIS) in HOT projects and with the humanitarian mapping community
* D. HOT and OSGeo to show visibility of partners on both sides during events
* E. HOT and OSGeo to work together over conferences including HOT Summit & FOSS4G

==== VII. COMMUNICATIONS ====

Both organizations commit to:

* A. Promote the partnership between OSGeo and HOT in all relevant communications materials and HOT/OSGeo websites.
* B. Cross-promote opportunities (jobs, training/webinars) to the HOT and OSGeo networks as applicable.
* C. Abide by each other’s communication guidelines (any external communications OSGeo creates about partnering with HOT must be reviewed and approved by HOT before sharing and vice versa (as part of a review phase in HOT’s Standard Operating Procedure))

==== IV. ENTRY INTO FORCE, MODIFICATION, AND DURATION ====

* A. This MOU will be reviewed biannually by both parties at which time revisions may be made.
* B. This MOU shall enter into force on the date of its signature by the duly authorized representatives of the Parties.
* C. This MOU may be amended by mutual consent of the Parties. The proposed amendment should be made in writing to the other Party and shall enter into force upon its acceptance in writing by the Parties.
* D. This MoU includes no further legal or financial responsibilities by either party. The MoU can be cancelled by either party by simple notification in writing to the other Party.

==OSGeo Memoranda of Understanding==

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is a common synonym for a letter of intent. MoUs are typically signed by parties with a common interest but so far little organizational contacts. It is intended as a signal to the outside and broader community and can over time become the foundation for closer cooperation.

OSGeo has signed MoUs with several organizations - this page provides an overview of MoUs that are active,
in various stages of preparation and those that expired or were replaced by a different type of collaborative relationship.

We would like to request three prizes, each to the value of USD 3,000. The number of prizes and amounts are based on previous years, however, we understand that 2020 was a difficult year and that there could be budget constraints because the conference could not take place.

We plan to arrange the OSGeo Educational Challenge similarly to that in 2018 [1] and 2019 [2], for which the material is now available on the OSGeo Wiki, see e.g. [3], [4] and [5]. The challenge supports the objectives of the OSGeo UN Committee [6], i.e. promoting the development and use of open source software that meets UN needs and supports the aims of the UN. For various reasons, we were not able to arrange the challenge in 2020, but we are planning to have the next one in 2021. Vicky Vergara has already expressed interest in mentoring a challenge related to developing training material for pgrouting. The other two challenges are planned on topics related to COVID-19 (with QGIS) and Geo Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI), a topic of interest in the UN Open GIS initiative.

== OSGeo Projects ==

OSGeo Projects each have a project steering committee, the chair of which is acknowledged as a foundation officer with spending authority on behalf of their committee.

Notes:

* We have reached out (2020) to the projects mailing list with a default suggestion of 2000 for any project that responds
* Projects with a plan may of course ask for increased funding
* This is a budget, representing planned spending in 2021 - actual balance available to each PSC (from fundraising, donations and sponsorship) may be considered when planning.
* If a project did not respond (or runs into an unforeseen expense) please contact the board throughout the year as budgets can be amended

== Community Events ==

We have set aside a budget for community events in 2021:

* Supporting community building events is distinct from the development focused code-sprints below
* We are inviting community members to contact us about events (rather than try and adjust their event to fit into our code sprint guidelines)
* OSGeo is is focused on our outreach goals as an organization as such our primary contribution to events is free software and enthusiasm rather than finical, we use funding to enable our members rather than for sponsorship and visibility.
* Please note our [https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/blob/master/board/documents/osgeo_financial_guidance.pdf financial guidance document]

== Code Sprints ==

We have asked project teams for guidance to help set our code sprint budget:

* Please note our [https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/blob/master/board/documents/osgeo_financial_guidance.pdf financial guidance document] ask for event details, budget and fundraising on your part.
* Out priority is to share the risk with organizers allowing access to funds early to book facilities as required
* Code sprint budget is structured carry funds from one event to the next allowing us to hold more code-sprints with a smaller annual budget.

==OSGeo Memoranda of Understanding==

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is a common synonym for a letter of intent. MoUs are typically signed by parties with a common interest but so far little organizational contacts. It is intended as a signal to the outside and broader community and can over time become the foundation for closer cooperation.

== OSGeo Education and Curriculum Current Initiatives ==

'''The official website is online at ''http://www.geoforall.org''''' - locations: [https://www.osgeo.org/initiatives/geo-for-all/#map Geo for All Map]

=== 1) Continue to build up our educational material federated content databases ===

* [http://old.www.osgeo.org/educational_content OSGeo edu's educational content metadatabase] -- a place for metadata and links to external material we are posting on our own websites

* [[Webinar Series ]]

===2) Continue to expand the "Geo for All" initiative ===

This initiative is led by Suchith Anand.

In September 2011, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) and the International Cartographic Association (ICA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the aim of developing on a global basis collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data. The MoU aims to provide expertise and support for the establishment of Open Source Geospatial Laboratories across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software, open data, open standards training and expertise. ISPRS joined this initiative in 2014. The motto of Geo for All Lab initiative is "Geo For All".Central to "Geo for All" mission is the belief that knowledge is a public good and Open Principles in Education will provide great opportunities for everyone. Details at [[MOU_ICA]].

All interested organisations must be committed to contribute to the vision outlined in the Geo for All MoU http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in free and open source GIS software , FOSS, open data , open access (publications) and contribute to open education in the future. All participants should contribute to Education, Research and Service for the betterment of humanity as the key guiding principle and work towards the vision of the UN Millennium Development Goals http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ for building a better world.

== Current members of the Geo for All Labs Network ==



Feel free to join the mailing list http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/geoforall to follow the discussions among the participants of this initiative.

There are two tables, the first one for university/education/schools members ; second table for Industry ,Government and NGO partners of "Geo for All" mission, please select one accordingly.All interested organisations joining as "labs" or "partners"must be committed to contribute to the vision outlined in the Geo for All MoU http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in free and open source GIS software , FOSS, open data , open access (publications) and contribute to open education in the future. All participants should contribute to Education, Research and Service for the betterment of humanity as the key guiding principle and work towards the vision of the UN Millennium Development Goals http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ for building a better world.

To add a new member copy an existing table entry (uses Mediawiki syntax) and input your information. The coordinates are '''WGS84 decimal coordinates''' in format '''longitude, latitude'''; if you don't add the coordinates following this rule your institution will not show on the [https://www.osgeo.org/initiatives/geo-for-all/#map Geo for All Map].
The script to generate the map is available here http://www.geoforall.org/locations/update_geojson.py

== Interested in joining or supporting the "Geo for All" initiative? ==

As the lab network is expanding fast, we have also setup nodal contacts for each regions:

# North America - Helena Mitasova (USA), Charles Schweik (USA), Phillip Davis (USA)
# South America - Sergio Acosta y Lara (Uruguay) and Silvana Camboim (Brazil)
# Europe - Maria Brovelli (Italy) and Peter Mooney (Ireland)
# Asia (including Australia)- Tuong Thuy Vu (Malaysia/Vietnam) and Venkatesh Raghavan (Japan/India)
# Africa - Rania Elsayed Ibrahim (Egypt), Serena Coetzee (South Africa) and Bridget Fleming (South Africa)

Email the regonial mailing lists and contact the region chairs to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process. The full criteria at http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoforall_criteria

=== Key requirements for joining the "Geo for All Labs" initiative ===

(A) Your local organisation MUST BE COMMITTED TO CONTRIBUTE to the vision outlined in the Geo for All MoU [1]http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in free and open source GIS software , FOSS, open data , open access (publications) and contribute to open education in the future. All participants should contribute to Education, Research and Service for the benefit and betterment of humanity as the key guiding principle and work towards the vision of the UN Millennium Development Goals [2] http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ for building a better world.

(B) At least one person at your institution or organization should have strong knowledge in geospatial information science and vision to lead this activity and to build a team of people, locally. This person should act as a liaison officer to the initiative.

(C) There should be a website established for your Open Source Geospatial Laboratory listing current research, people, and training information. This web presence will allow other nodes in the network and the general public to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches. The website should be established within a year of the lab announcement and has to be maintained at least annually.

(D) GEO4ALL MAKES A COMMITMENT TO promote the initiative widely through OSGeo, ICA and ISPRS channels to help build up collaboration opportunities for the future. We will also do a joint press release to announce the initiative and start building collaborations. A primary collaborative initiative continues to be the creation and maintenance of shared open access educational resources and/or active participation in the open source software and data development. We will also add the information of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.

Open Education is the simple and powerful idea that the world’s knowledge is a public good and that technology in general and the Worldwide Web in particular provide an extraordinary opportunity for everyone to share, use, and reuse knowledge. Open educational resources (OERs) are free and openly licensed educational materials that can be used for teaching and learning. Open educational resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge.
We especially welcome applications from universities, educational institutes, government organisations in developing countries to help develop capacity building in geospatial education by establishing Open Source Geo Labs and support Open Education initiatives worldwide.

Election 2019 Candidate Manifestos

2019-11-16T22:27:48Z

Helena: /* Vicky Vergara */

A space for the candidates for [[Election 2019|election]] to the Board to share some information about themselves, their aspirations for OSGeo, what they would like to change, improve or introduce and what role they would like to play on the board.

== Vicky Vergara ==

=== About me ===

I am an experimenting person, perfectionist, a test freak, and lazy. (Maybe
you have not noticed the lazy part, but, I spend days, days and more days
to figure out if there is a fastest/better way to do a particular task, so
that when the task is done, its in seconds, instead of hours).

=== What you have done within the community in the past ===
Back in 2013, I was jobless then my only way to contribute, because of the use I was making of OSGeo projects, was to become a translator on pgRouting:

* July 25, 2013 [https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/issues/157#issuecomment-21562472 I offered my self as translator] of pgrouting
** Note that I was new to everything: [https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/issues/157#issuecomment-21584629 comment about my ignorance]
* August 16, 2013: I was invited to contribute code to pgRouting: [https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/issues/178#issuecomment-22802017 Invitation]
* August 23, 2013: My first code contribution [https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/pull/185 the modifying 75 files Pull request].
* July 2015:
** Version 2.1.0 released
** OSGeo-GSoC mentor for pgRouting.
* September 2015: My first FOSS4G participation
* September 2015: Became a Charter member
* June 2017, I accepted to be part of PSC of OSGeoLive: [https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/osgeolive/2017-June/012175.html Accepting statement]
* 2017 elections: I was nominated to be member of the Board of Directors, did not make it to the Board ;-)
* 2018: I still can do a lot, so I volunteered to be member of the System Administration Committee (SAC)
* 2018: I also volunteered for CRO, because as member of SAC and because I imagined
what the CRO where doing to handle the elections, and I thought I can do a lot to facilitate that Job.
* 2019: I still can do much more, I became member and co-chair of the Code of Conduct Committee.

=== My vision ===

'''The right to be the best one can be'''

* Who am I?
* What do I do?
* Am I the best of what I can be?
* Do I have a dream?
Those are questions that we can ask to ourselves.

Before I answer those questions, I think in society, everything starts with the family:
* My father gladly goes with me to events (gives me some family time).
* When on vacation on Paris with my mother, a brother and his wife. We met a colleague from OSGeoLive and
we had a great evening. (family time mixed with OSGeo time)
* One of my sons went to Argentina and volunteered on the reception desk on FOSS4G-Argentina 2017. (allows me family time)
* My other son is letting us use his AZURE code on transifex for OSGeoLive and on pgRouting.
* My husband, well what can I tell, he "let me go" a full year with my kid to study my masters, he
knows that I will do what I need to do to be the best of what I can be.
* My niece is doing the Spanish translations on OSGeoLive and on pgRouting and made a presentation on
FOSS4G Argentina 2019 about point clouds. (more family time)

I am a lucky person, my family is participating in what I do. I consider that my family
is doing all what they can do, so that my ''right to be the best I can be'' is fulfilled.
And my family is growing with OSGeo.

Now lets answer those questions:
* Who am I? I am Vicky. I was thought to be a fighter and not to give up.
* What do I do? I do whatever I need to do to make this world a better place.
* Am I the best of what I can be? No, as for tomorrow I want to be better than today.
* Do I have a dream? I want to make this world be a better place.

The best of all is that I have my family support.

OSGeo, is as small part of the society, but its an international part of it.
And we are part of OSGeo.

We don't have borders and the people are:
* members from everywhere,
* users who live in any country
* volunteers from any part of the world.

I have being one of the fortunate that has met many of them
* on FOSS4G events
* on code sprint events.
* some only thru video conference
* most of them by IRC/chat

I consider them as my heroes.

They give up:
* social time
* work opportunities
* and most important: family time
** I cheat, some family time I make up when taking a family member to an OSGeo event.

I feel blessed as I have, from some of those heroes of mine, their autograph, I am their FAN #1.

Here are the next questions as a charter member I ask:
* IS OSGeo helping people to be the best of what they can be?
* Is OSGeo encouraging?
* IS OSGeo a safe place?

From my experience the answers to all questions is yes.

There might be limitations, for example of local cultural limitations:
A lady I met in India who is a student. Her father, who lives 300km away, forbids her
to go out of the campus, not even to the restaurant in 50 mts away, and she complies
to her father wishes. (I wonder if ever she will go to an international FOOS4G).

The reason that form my experience the answer is yes, is because when rephrasing the questions:
* Am I helping people to be the best of what they can be?
* Am I encouraging?
* Am I a safe person?

I can answer, without a doubt, YES.

Am I doing enough?

That I don't think so, but I am trying to enforce the '''right to be the best on can be''' on our members, volunteers, users, etc.

=== What your interests are in terms of the board ===
* In general: promote the use and development of Free and Open Source Software
* In particular: promote the use and development of the OSGeo projects, OSGeo incubation and OSGeo community Free Open Source Software.

=== Any things that you would like to change or introduce ===

Given my location and maternal language, the following points have a stronger implied emphasis to Latin America, but its not limited to this area.

''' Let the kitten be known'''

* Encourage developers to build open projects using OSGeo projects that can help communities from pot hole control to emergency plans, from planting trees to avoid forest deprivation, from Archaeology to Economics, etc.
* Promote the use of open source as tools, in particular OSGeo projects that give an ample variety of backend and frontend tools for systems development.
* Promote the participation of Latin American students/developers/users to participate from simple tasks as translation up to code contributions on OSGeo Projects
* Promote the participation of Latin American students/developers/users to create new OSGeo Community projects that can be used by local communities.
* I went to the OGP summit in Mexico 2015 https://www.opengovpartnership.org/ and I think there is a lot of possibilities for using OSGeo projects. Do more research, and maybe starting to see how my own country is advancing towards the openness and more details on how OSGeo can be/its being used.
* Support and encourage smaller open source projects to join OSGeo, and make OSGeo more valuable for them
* Reach out to Latin-American local chapters and encourage them to play an active role in OSGeo

'''Curiosity killed the cat'''

Normally people tend to see, what's going wrong, on things that are happening. What becomes difficult to observe is what is wrong that things/activities that should be going are not even started yet.

Lets not forget to think about why things are not happening.

* Why "[abc] is NOT [xyz] OSGeo".
* Why do some projects, do not start incubation?
* Why is there no local OSGeo chapter in, for example, Mexico?
* Why do we have mostly sponsors from North America and Europe?
* Why there are so few participation from Latin American countries in OSGeo even if they have conferences every year ... same for Japan actually.
* Why we only hear (and see) those, who raise their voice and shout out loud. But we miss to reach the silent majority?
* What causes the "inactivity"?
* Why ....

=== What role you would wish to fulfill on the board (if any) ===
* As an Economist, I don't want to handle money (It was by accident that I studied economics).
* Get things done! Solving issues and making decision.
* Ask: why? what? how?

== Helena Mitasova ==

=== About me ===
I am a Professor at the Center for Geospatial Analytics and Department of Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC, USA, and lead the Geoforall Lab at NCSU (one of the founding labs).

=== My vision ===
Make the world a better place with open source geospatial: promote sustainable, long term use of open source through research and teaching.

=== What you have done within the community in the past ===
I have been on GRASS GIS development team since 1991 and I have been involved with OSGeo since its founding in 2006, first serving on committees (conference, education) and then on the board.
Since elected to the board I served as vice-president, working with geoforall initiative and managing partnerships through memoranda of understanding. I also work with my students contributing new methods, techniques and tools to GRASS GIS and developing and delivering workshops and courses - see our [https://geospatial.ncsu.edu/geoforall/publications.html publications]
and [https://geospatial.ncsu.edu/geoforall/courses.html courses]

=== What your interests are in terms of the board ===
I would like to make sure that the OSGeo board provides effective support to the projects through resources for code and community sprints and many other activities.
I would also like to continue my previous work with geoforall and our MoU partners and provide a voice for academic community to help open source geospatial grow
new generation of passionate developers, users and community builders.

=== Any things that you would like to change or introduce ===
Encouraging educational institutions not only to use FOSS4G but also increase the contributions at several levels - from educational material to the code. Also, I think that we may need to revisit the OSGeo website management issues to make sure it is always up to date and helps the community.

=== What role you would wish to fulfil on the board (if any) ===
Coordination with geo4all initiative and working with partner organizations.

=== 1) Continue to build up our educational material federated content databases ===

* [http://www.osgeo.org/educational_content OSGeo edu's educational content metadatabase] -- a place for metadata and links to external material we are posting on our own websites

* [[Webinar Series ]]

===2) Continue to expand the "Geo for All" initiative ===

This initiative is led by Suchith Anand.

In September 2011, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) and the International Cartographic Association (ICA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the aim of developing on a global basis collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data. The MoU aims to provide expertise and support for the establishment of Open Source Geospatial Laboratories across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software, open data, open standards training and expertise. ISPRS joined this initiative in 2014. The motto of Geo for All Lab initiative is "Geo For All".Central to "Geo for All" mission is the belief that knowledge is a public good and Open Principles in Education will provide great opportunities for everyone. Details at [[MOU_ICA]].

All interested organisations must be committed to contribute to the vision outlined in the Geo for All MoU http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in free and open source GIS software , FOSS, open data , open access (publications) and contribute to open education in the future. All participants should contribute to Education, Research and Service for the betterment of humanity as the key guiding principle and work towards the vision of the UN Millennium Development Goals http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ for building a better world.

== Current members of the Geo for All Labs Network ==



Feel free to join the mailing list http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/geoforall to follow the discussions among the participants of this initiative.

There are two tables, the first one for university/education/schools members ; second table for Industry ,Government and NGO partners of "Geo for All" mission, please select one accordingly.All interested organisations joining as "labs" or "partners"must be committed to contribute to the vision outlined in the Geo for All MoU http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in free and open source GIS software , FOSS, open data , open access (publications) and contribute to open education in the future. All participants should contribute to Education, Research and Service for the betterment of humanity as the key guiding principle and work towards the vision of the UN Millennium Development Goals http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ for building a better world.

# Africa - Rania Elsayed Ibrahim (Egypt), Serena Coetzee (South Africa) and Bridget Fleming (South Africa)

Email the regonial mailing lists and contact the region chairs to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process. The full criteria at http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoforall_criteria

=== Key requirements for joining the "Geo for All Labs" initiative ===

(A) Your local organisation MUST BE COMMITTED TO CONTRIBUTE to the vision outlined in the Geo for All MoU [1]http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in free and open source GIS software , FOSS, open data , open access (publications) and contribute to open education in the future. All participants should contribute to Education, Research and Service for the benefit and betterment of humanity as the key guiding principle and work towards the vision of the UN Millennium Development Goals [2] http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ for building a better world.

(B) At least one person at your institution or organization should have strong knowledge in geospatial information science and vision to lead this activity and to build a team of people, locally. This person should act as a liaison officer to the initiative.

(C) There should be a website established for your Open Source Geospatial Laboratory listing current research, people, and training information. This web presence will allow other nodes in the network and the general public to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches. The website should be established within a year of the lab announcement and has to be maintained at least annually.

(D) GEO4ALL MAKES A COMMITMENT TO promote the initiative widely through OSGeo, ICA and ISPRS channels to help build up collaboration opportunities for the future. We will also do a joint press release to announce the initiative and start building collaborations. A primary collaborative initiative continues to be the creation and maintenance of shared open access educational resources and/or active participation in the open source software and data development. We will also add the information of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.

Open Education is the simple and powerful idea that the world’s knowledge is a public good and that technology in general and the Worldwide Web in particular provide an extraordinary opportunity for everyone to share, use, and reuse knowledge. Open educational resources (OERs) are free and openly licensed educational materials that can be used for teaching and learning. Open educational resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge.
We especially welcome applications from universities, educational institutes, government organisations in developing countries to help develop capacity building in geospatial education by establishing Open Source Geo Labs and support Open Education initiatives worldwide.

===2) Continue to expand the "Geo for All" initiative ===

This initiative is led by Suchith Anand.

In September 2011, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) and the International Cartographic Association (ICA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the aim of developing on a global basis collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data. The MoU aims to provide expertise and support for the establishment of Open Source Geospatial Laboratories across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software, open data, open standards training and expertise. ISPRS joined this initiative in 2014. The motto of Geo for All Lab initiative is "Geo For All".Central to "Geo for All" mission is the belief that knowledge is a public good and Open Principles in Education will provide great opportunities for everyone. Details at [[MOU_ICA]].

All interested organisations must be committed to contribute to the vision outlined in the Geo for All MoU http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in free and open source GIS software , FOSS, open data , open access (publications) and contribute to open education in the future. All participants should contribute to Education, Research and Service for the betterment of humanity as the key guiding principle and work towards the vision of the UN Millennium Development Goals http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ for building a better world.

== Current members of the Geo for All Labs Network ==

== Interested in joining or supporting the "Geo for All" initiative? ==

As the lab network is expanding fast, we have also setup nodal contacts for each regions:

# North America - Helena Mitasova (USA), Charles Schweik (USA), Phillip Davis (USA)
# South America - Sergio Acosta y Lara (Uruguay) and Silvana Camboim (Brazil)
# Europe - Maria Brovelli (Italy) and Peter Mooney (Ireland)
# Asia (including Australia)- Tuong Thuy Vu (Malaysia/Vietnam) and Venkatesh Raghavan (Japan/India)
# Africa - Rania Elsayed Ibrahim (Egypt), Serena Coetzee (South Africa) and Bridget Fleming (South Africa)

Email the regonial mailing lists and contact the region chairs to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process. The full criteria at http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoforall_criteria

=== Key requirements for joining the "Geo for All Labs" initiative ===

(A) Your local organisation MUST BE COMMITTED TO CONTRIBUTE to the vision outlined in the Geo for All MoU [1]http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in free and open source GIS software , FOSS, open data , open access (publications) and contribute to open education in the future. All participants should contribute to Education, Research and Service for the benefit and betterment of humanity as the key guiding principle and work towards the vision of the UN Millennium Development Goals [2] http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ for building a better world.

(B) At least one person at your institution or organization should have strong knowledge in geospatial information science and vision to lead this activity and to build a team of people, locally. This person should act as a liaison officer to the initiative.

(C) There should be a website established for your Open Source Geospatial Laboratory listing current research, people, and training information. This web presence will allow other nodes in the network and the general public to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches. The website should be established within a year of the lab announcement and has to be maintained at least annually.

(D) GEO4ALL MAKES A COMMITMENT TO promote the initiative widely through OSGeo, ICA and ISPRS channels to help build up collaboration opportunities for the future. We will also do a joint press release to announce the initiative and start building collaborations. A primary collaborative initiative continues to be the creation and maintenance of shared open access educational resources and/or active participation in the open source software and data development. We will also add the information of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.

Open Education is the simple and powerful idea that the world’s knowledge is a public good and that technology in general and the Worldwide Web in particular provide an extraordinary opportunity for everyone to share, use, and reuse knowledge. Open educational resources (OERs) are free and openly licensed educational materials that can be used for teaching and learning. Open educational resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge.
We especially welcome applications from universities, educational institutes, government organisations in developing countries to help develop capacity building in geospatial education by establishing Open Source Geo Labs and support Open Education initiatives worldwide.

==OSGeo Memoranda of Understanding==

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is a common synonym for a letter of intent. MoUs are typically signed by parties with a common interest but so far little organizational contacts. It is intended as a signal to the outside and broader community and can over time become the foundation for closer cooperation.

OSGeo has signed MoUs with several organizations - this page provides an overview of MoUs that are active,
in various stages of preparation and those that expired or were replaced by a different type of collaborative relationship.

***ii. contribute to online educational material repositories and a framework to educate academic faculty to leverage open educational resources;
***iii. utilize and contribute to the GeoForAll network;
***iv. encourage joint proposals between UNIGIS and OSGeo institutions.
**c. Contribute to a research agenda for open source geospatial science that
***i. identifies priority areas and opportunities for open source geospatial development;
***ii. initiates joint proposals between UNIGIS and OSGeo institutions.
**d. Utilize online communication platforms to develop, share, and exchange ideas and information, for instance by inviting members and associates to webinars;
**e. Refer to this MoU in the promotional and communication materials of each organization, such as their websites;
**f. Exchange designated official representatives to the principal annual meeting of each organization. Registration fees for one official representative will be waived;
**g. Any other activity agreed by the governing bodies of both organizations.

*2. This MoU applies to UNIGIS and OSGeo as organizations in their entirety. It does not provide any individual members of UNIGIS or OSGeo membership rights in the other, and does not create any obligations for individual members.

*3. This MOU between UNIGIS and OSGeo shall be reviewed every two years by the governing bodies of both organizations, with the understanding that it may be terminated by either organization by providing sixty (60) days advance written notice to the other. In the absence of any notice of termination, this MoU will be prolonged for another two years.

== OSGeo Projects ==

OSGeo Projects each have a project steering committee, the chair of which is acknowledged as a foundation officer with spending authority on behalf of their committee.

Notes:

* We have reached out to the projects mailing list with a default suggestion of 2000 for any project that responds
* Projects with a plan may of course ask for increased funding
* This is a budget, representing planned spending in 2019 - actual balance available to each PSC (from fundraising, donations and sponsorship) may be considered when planning.
* If a project did not respond (or runs into an unforeseen expense) please contact the board throughout the year as budgets can be amended

* OSGeo is is focused on our outreach goals as an organization as such our primary contribution to events is free software and enthusiasm rather than finical, we use funding to enable our members rather than for sponsorship and visibility.
* Previously we have had requests to fund a "community day" or "community sprints" as part a larger event as distinct from sponsorship, the have been funded to the best of our ability

MOU OSGeo All

Helena:

==OSGeo Memoranda of Understanding==

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is a common synonym for a letter of intent. MoUs are typically signed by parties with a common interest but so far little organizational contacts. It is intended as a signal to the outside and broader community and can over time become the foundation for closer cooperation.

OSGeo has signed MoUs with several organizations - this page provides an overview of MoUs that are active,
in various stages of preparation and those that expired or were replaced by a different type of collaborative relationship.

'''Active MoUs'''
