<p>Jbryant: /* Localized FOSS4G Conferences */</p> <hr /> <div>== Introduction ==<br /> FOSS4G is the acronym for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial. It is the annual recurring global event hosted by OSGeo since it's inception in 2006. Its predecessors were rooted in the GRASS and MapServer communities and can be traced back to the beginning of this millennium. Find all recent conference web sites under the year followed by foss4g.org as in http://2011.foss4g.org/<br /> <br /> == History of the Acronym ==<br /> <br /> The FOSS4G was first coined in early 2004 as an acronym for Free and Open Source Software for Geoinformatics by a research group working on I18N of GRASS and MapServer. The first publication defining and using the FOSS4G acronym was published in Japan in March 2004 in a paper entitled [http://dlisv03.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/contents/osakacu/kiyo/DB00011169.pdf &quot;Development of training material and internationalization of GRASS GIS and MapServer for advancing FOSS4G solutions&quot;] published in the Bulletin of Osaka City University Media Center(ISSN: 1345-4145). It was later used at the<br /> &lt;!-- [http://gisws.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/grass04/index.php Free/Libre and Open Source Software for Geoinformatics: GIS-GRASS Users Conference] --&gt;<br /> [http://www.ces.iisc.ernet.in/energy/water/paper/fossgrdss/conference.htm Free/Libre and Open Source Software for Geoinformatics: GIS-GRASS Users Conference]<br /> held between September 12 - 14, 2004 in Bangkok, Thailand in a publication entitled [http://gisws.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/grass04/viewabstract.php?id=33 Implementation of Web Map Server Test-bed and Development of Training Material for Advancing FOSS4G Solutions] and subsequently in several other international and national conferences and meetings.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:foss4g2004bkk.jpg]]<br /> <br /> == History of foss4g.org domain name ==<br /> <br /> The foss4g.org (and grass-japan.org) domain was registered to make available to the public the outcome of the project on Internationalization of GRASS5.0 and MapServer. The project was funded by IPA (Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan). The project was carried in cooperation between Orkney Inc. and Osaka City University (OCU). Apart from software internationalization (i18n), OCU was also responsible for testing, preparation of test data, sample applications and implementation and management of the portal site. The main portal site was made available at www.foss4g.org/FOSS4G/ and also www.grass-japan.org/FOSS4G/<br /> <br /> The domains were registered with [[Venkatesh Raghavan]] (aka Venka) and Shinji Masumoto of Osaka City University, Japan in 2003 and the project portal site went online in March 2004. Venkatesh Raghavan (aka Venka) and Shinji Masumoto agreed to donate the foss4g.org domain name to OSGeo on 3rd October 2007 with the understanding that there will be no restrictions on the free usage of the FOSS4G acronym for the legitimate purpose of promoting Free and Open Source Software for Geoinformatics. Subsequent to the transfer of foss4g.org domain name to OSGeo, it was used as a domain name for FOSS4G events since FOSS4G2008 held in Cape Town, South Africa.<br /> <br /> == Organizing FOSS4G ==<br /> The OSGeo [[Conference Committee]] is the steadying factor of FOSS4G over the years. Organization of FOSS4G starts roughly 2 years in advance as the venue rotates around the world when a call for bids is sent out.<br /> <br /> === Local Organizing Committee ===<br /> All the hands-on ground work is done by a volunteering Local Organizing Committees that form each year and have so far always excelled themselves at putting together a great conference. OSGeo is very thankful and excited to see this much effort going into each conference. As of 2007 all conference web sites can be found under the generic OSGeo URL by replacing the year as in http://2010.foss4g.org/ <br /> <br /> === Overview of past conferences and attendances ===<br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot;<br /> !

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].<br /> <br /> ==== OpenStreetMap Oceania ====<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> As the official local chapter, 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. <br /> <br /> In 2020, a prospective working group was convened to focus specifically on OpenStreetMap and our role as a local chapter. Minutes from the inaugural meeting [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TOTHXim1USSbmgR_AftmRRk2GWOwiYM8OhFm0AuA1A8/edit# can be found here].

One example would be a national entity that determines their interests would better represented as an independent local chapter.

They should at least show us that you have people committed to organising the conference, and have given some thought to the financial aspects of the event.

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].<br /> <br /> ==== OpenStreetMap Oceania ====<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> As the official local chapter, 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. <br /> <br /> In 2020, a prospective working group was convened to focus specifically on OpenStreetMap and our role as a local chapter. Minutes from the inaugural meeting [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TOTHXim1USSbmgR_AftmRRk2GWOwiYM8OhFm0AuA1A8/edit# can be found here]. The working group discussed long term priorities, so [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vjb5ALk_KedSVoFVacw3QCEvVvyTKLafu4ji_g0bfqM/edit?usp=sharing feel free to contribute to the discussion here].<br /> <br /> The SIG is not currently active (as of February 2024).<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> == Events ==<br /> * [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_SotM_Oceania_2023 FOSS4G SotM Oceania 2023]<br /> * [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Pacific_Geospatial_Conference_2022 Pacific Geospatial Conference 2022]<br /> * [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_SotM_Oceania_2021 FOSS4G SotM Oceania 2021]<br /> * [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_SotM_Oceania_2020 FOSS4G SotM Oceania 2020]<br /> * [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_SotM_Oceania_2019 FOSS4G SotM Oceania 2019]<br /> * [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_SotM_Oceania_2018 FOSS4G SotM Oceania 2018]<br /> &lt;!-- this part is hidden until the call for EoIs goes out in 2020<br /> === Call for Expressions of Interest for FOSS4G SotM Oceania 2021 ===<br /> We are seeking Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from the Oceania community for hosting FOSS4G SotM Oceania in 2021. This is a wonderful opportunity to bring the open geospatial community to your city, drive the growth of your local community, and contribute to a regional and global phenomenon.<br /> <br /> EOIs need not be full proposals, as we can work with you to develop your plans further. They should at least show us that you have people committed to organising the conference, and have given some thought to the financial aspects of the event. It would be helpful if you can provide some information on potential venues. Basically, tell us why your location is a good choice for FOSS4G SotM Oceania 2021.

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].<br /> <br /> ==== OpenStreetMap Oceania ====<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> As the official local chapter, 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. <br /> <br /> In 2020, a prospective working group was convened to focus specifically on OpenStreetMap and our role as a local chapter. Minutes from the inaugural meeting [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TOTHXim1USSbmgR_AftmRRk2GWOwiYM8OhFm0AuA1A8/edit# can be found here].

One example would be a national entity that determines their interests would better represented as an independent local chapter.

They should at least show us that you have people committed to organising the conference, and have given some thought to the financial aspects of the event.

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].<br /> <br /> ==== OpenStreetMap Oceania ====<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> As the official local chapter, 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. <br /> <br /> In 2020, a prospective working group was convened to focus specifically on OpenStreetMap and our role as a local chapter. Minutes from the inaugural meeting [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TOTHXim1USSbmgR_AftmRRk2GWOwiYM8OhFm0AuA1A8/edit# can be found here].

One example would be a national entity that determines their interests would better represented as an independent local chapter.

They should at least show us that you have people committed to organising the conference, and have given some thought to the financial aspects of the event.

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].<br /> <br /> ==== OpenStreetMap Oceania ====<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> As the official local chapter, 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. <br /> <br /> In 2020, a prospective working group was convened to focus specifically on OpenStreetMap and our role as a local chapter. Minutes from the inaugural meeting [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TOTHXim1USSbmgR_AftmRRk2GWOwiYM8OhFm0AuA1A8/edit# can be found here].

One example would be a national entity that determines their interests would better represented as an independent local chapter.

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].<br /> <br /> ==== OpenStreetMap Oceania ====<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> As the official local chapter, 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. <br /> <br /> In 2020, a prospective working group was convened to focus specifically on OpenStreetMap and our role as a local chapter. Minutes from the inaugural meeting [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TOTHXim1USSbmgR_AftmRRk2GWOwiYM8OhFm0AuA1A8/edit# can be found here].

One example would be a national entity that determines their interests would better represented as an independent local chapter.

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].<br /> <br /> ==== OpenStreetMap Oceania ====<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> As the official local chapter, 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. <br /> <br /> In 2020, a prospective working group was convened to focus specifically on OpenStreetMap and our role as a local chapter. Minutes from the inaugural meeting [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TOTHXim1USSbmgR_AftmRRk2GWOwiYM8OhFm0AuA1A8/edit# can be found here].

One example would be a national entity that determines their interests would better represented as an independent local chapter.

They should at least show us that you have people committed to organising the conference, and have given some thought to the financial aspects of the event.

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.<br /> <br /> The QGIS SIG charter is [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lrewntrC0N1r6mfZdo1AdPhe2qTEaN5hDA2pcL0mrvI here].<br /> <br /> Steering committee: Andrew Jeffrey, Emma Hain, John Bryant, Nathan Woodrow, Nyall Dawson<br /> <br /> ==== OpenStreetMap Oceania ====<br /> 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.

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.<br /> <br /> The QGIS SIG charter is [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lrewntrC0N1r6mfZdo1AdPhe2qTEaN5hDA2pcL0mrvI here].<br /> <br /> Steering committee: Andrew Jeffrey, Emma Hain, John Bryant, Nathan Woodrow, Nyall Dawson<br /> <br /> ==== OpenStreetMap Oceania ====<br /> 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.

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.<br /> <br /> The QGIS SIG charter is [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lrewntrC0N1r6mfZdo1AdPhe2qTEaN5hDA2pcL0mrvI here].<br /> <br /> Steering committee: Andrew Jeffrey, Emma Hain, John Bryant, Nathan Woodrow, Nyall Dawson<br /> <br /> ==== OpenStreetMap Oceania ====<br /> 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.

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.<br /> <br /> The QGIS SIG charter is [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lrewntrC0N1r6mfZdo1AdPhe2qTEaN5hDA2pcL0mrvI here].<br /> <br /> Steering committee: Andrew Jeffrey, Emma Hain, John Bryant, Nathan Woodrow, Nyall Dawson<br /> <br /> ==== OpenStreetMap Oceania ====<br /> 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.

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.<br /> <br /> The QGIS SIG charter is [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lrewntrC0N1r6mfZdo1AdPhe2qTEaN5hDA2pcL0mrvI here].<br /> <br /> Steering committee: Andrew Jeffrey, Emma Hain, John Bryant, Nathan Woodrow, Nyall Dawson<br /> <br /> ==== OpenStreetMap Oceania ====<br /> 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.

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].<br /> <br /> ==== QGIS Oceania ====<br /> QGIS Oceania is a &quot;Special Interest Group&quot; 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.<br /> <br /> The QGIS SIG charter is [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lrewntrC0N1r6mfZdo1AdPhe2qTEaN5hDA2pcL0mrvI here].<br /> <br /> Steering committee: Andrew Jeffrey, Emma Hain, John Bryant, Nathan Woodrow, Nyall Dawson<br /> <br /> ==== OpenStreetMap Oceania ====<br /> 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.

A working group has been established under OSGeo Oceania to focus specifically on OpenStreetMap and our role as a local chapter.
