<p>Krdeepak: </p> <hr /> <div>== Background ==<br /> The OSGeo Board of Directors met with the UN GIS team at FOSS4G in Seoul, Korea in September 2015. The UN GIS team is very interested in having OSGeo &quot;at the table&quot;. Mr. Kyoung-Soo Eom, chief of the UN Geospatial Information Section, has invited OSGeo to be part of a working group on Geospatial Information and Services for Disasters to support the UN migration to Open Source Geospatial software solutions.<br /> <br /> ===UN Open GIS initiative=== <br /> &quot;... it is to identify and develop an Open Source GIS bundle that meets the requirements of UN operations, taking full advantage of the expertise of mission partners (partner nations, technology contributing countries, international organizations, academia, NGOs, private sector). The strategic approach shall be developed with best and shared principles, standards and ownership, in a prioritized manner that addresses capability gaps and needs without duplicating efforts of other Member States or entities. The UN OpenGIS Initiative strategy shall collaboratively and cooperatively develop, validate, assess, migrate, and implement sound technical capabilities with all the appropriate documentation and training that in the end provides a united effort to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of utilizing Open Source GIS around the world.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> ===UN Open GIS Initiative Terms of Reference ===<br /> <br /> 1. Objectives<br /> <br /> The Objective of the UN Open GIS Initiative is to identify and develop open source geospatial software and services that meet the requirements of UN operations, taking full advantage of the expertise of mission partners including partner nations, technology developed by contributing countries, international organizations, academia, NGOs, and private sector.<br /> <br /> 2. Terms of Reference<br /> <br /> These Terms of Reference are effective as of (date) and will be ongoing until terminated by agreement of the Strategic Board (SB).<br /> <br /> 3. Membership<br /> <br /> The members of the UN Open GIS Initiative are composed of:<br /> <br /> * Contributors: Any organization who agrees with the objectives of the UN Open GIS and actively contributes to the UN Open GIS Initiative in terms of financial, materials, solutions, technologies, or human resources. The Contributor membership shall be decided by the Strategic Board.<br /> <br /> * Observers: Any individual person or organization who agrees with the objectives of the UN Open GIS and participate in the UN Open GIS Initiative activity. The Observer membership shall be granted by the Strategic Board.<br /> <br /> 4. Roles and Responsibilities<br /> <br /> The governance structure of the UN Open GIS Initiative comprises of:<br /> <br /> * Strategic Board:<br /> <br /> * Co-Chairs and Secretariats<br /> <br /> * Technical Advisory Group<br /> <br /> * Requirement Advisory Group<br /> <br /> * Assessment Team<br /> <br /> * Spirals<br /> <br /> 4.1 Strategic Board (SB)<br /> <br /> The Strategic Board consists of representatives from each contributor where each contributor nominates one representative to the Strategic Board. The Strategic Board is responsible for deciding goals, strategic planning, creation of new spiral, election of co-chairs, appointment of technical advisory group members, requirement advisory group members, and assessment team members.<br /> <br /> 4.2 Co-Chairs<br /> <br /> There are three Co-Chairs, where one Co-Chair is appointed from UN and two Co-Chairs are elected among the Strategic Board members. They chair the Strategic Board meeting and take the responsibility of all UN Open GIS Initiative activities.<br /> <br /> 4.3 Secretariat<br /> <br /> The secretariat is made of representatives of the contributors in support of the Co-Chairs and the activities of the UN Open GIS.<br /> <br /> 4.4 Technical Advisory Group (TAG)<br /> <br /> The Technical Advisory Group consists of key technical experts from the contributors and specialists, appointed by the SB. This group is responsible for the synchronization of spirals and technical decisions on the UN Open GIS architecture. The TAG will elect one group leader and co-leaders, who organize and moderate the activities of the group.<br /> <br /> 4.5 Requirement Advisory Group (RAG)<br /> <br /> The Requirement Advisory Group consists of key experts from UN and the contributors appointed by the SB. This group is responsible for identifying and providing the requirements of geospatial solutions and services for UN operations. The RAG will elect one group leader and co-leaders, who organize and moderate the activities of the group.<br /> <br /> 4.5 Assessment Team (AT)<br /> <br /> The Assessment Team consists of key experts from UN and the contributors appointed by the SB. This team defines proper assessment methods and procedures, and carries out assessments of the deliverables. The AT elects one leader and co-leaders, who are responsible for maintaining the activities of the team.<br /> <br /> 4.6 Spirals<br /> <br /> Since each goal of the UN Open GIS Initiative is achieved in incremental ways, we operate working group, called Spiral, for each specific goal. New Spirals are created by the SB for specific goals. The SB will designate one leader and co-leaders. The leader and co-leaders will develop a work plan to achieve the goals.<br /> <br /> Annex<br /> <br /> A. Definition of Open Source<br /> <br /> Open Source encompasses two related concepts regarding the way software is developed and licensed. They are codified in the &quot;Free Software&quot; and the &quot;Open Source&quot; definitions. &quot;Free and Open Source Software&quot; refers to software which has been made available under a free software license with the rights to run the program for any purpose, to study how the program works, to adapt it, and to redistribute copies, including modifications. These freedoms enable Open Source software development, a public, collaborative model that promotes early publishing and frequent releases. The Open Source Initiative has developed a set of 10 requirements of any software license that is to be considered an Open Source license under the Open Source Definition.<br /> <br /> B.

The Platform is based on Geoshape-Exchange, developed by Boundless and supported by US DoD.<br /> <br /> *Spiral 2 (WG2): capacity building for UN staff members on open source geospatial technologies. The initiative is supported by volunteer activity of OSGeo and GeoForAll members. QGIS (concluded) and PostGIS (in progress) have been taught by using as educational platform that of Politecnico di Milano.<br /> <br /> *Spiral 3 (WG3): geospatial analysis. More than 140 new geospatial functions for Web and Desktop available at [2]. Those pieces of software were made avaialable by OpenGDS (South Korea). Educational material will be provided soon. The original material is available in Korean. It will be translated in English but some help in cleaning it by English native speakers is more than welcome.<br /> <br /> *Spiral 4 (WG4): tools for data collection. The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) based Rapid Geospatial Solution is part of the WG activities and the software will be available soon. The development is part of the activity of OpenGDS (South Korea). Some South Korean companies are contributing to the development; among them Gaia3D, Inc.<br /> <br /> * I discussed with Kyoung-Soo Eom and Ki-Joune Li (the two chairs of UN Open GIS Initiative) the document “Resourcing ​Open​ ​Source​ ​Geospatial Training​ ​for​ ​the​ ​United​ ​Nations” [3]. The theme of sustainability is very relevant to UN Open GIS initiative (and more in general to UN). We agreed to organize a first exploratory Skype or hangout meeting, together with Cameron Shorter (who promoted this initiative) to discuss the document before presenting it to the next UN Open GIS Initiative VTC.<br /> <br /> I recall you that the UN Open GIS Initiative VTC meeting is scheduled the second Wednesday of every month at 1 pm UTC. People interested can attend. Just let me know in such a way that I communicate your interest to the chairs.<br /> <br /> [1] https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3dBcNKACjRlcDZTa0JsNUlab0U/view?usp=sharing <br /> <br /> [2] https://github.com/MapPlus/spatial_statistics_for_geotools_udig <br /> <br /> [3] https://docs.google.com/document/d/19Di-WxImfPq5oF2jeBblxNjY0JYJoXegLc5jaTPjufM/edit#heading=h.g1mf7fn4rfea<br /> <br /> === August 2017 ===<br /> * '''Presentation of the UN Open GIS Initiative at FOSS4G in Boston'''<br /> <br /> === March 2018 ===<br /> <br /> The Initiative &quot;UN Open GIS&quot; is going ahead regularly.<br /> <br /> 1) Jeff has started his activity as Chair of the Technical Advisory Group (thanks to Sanghee for beinng the Chair before and for having done a wonderful work).<br /> <br /> 2) For those interested, there is a a regular VTC of UN Open GIS Initiative every month (the second Wednesday of the month at 3 pm Italy time).<br /> <br /> <br /> 3) Serena and Maria have been working hard for preparing the Open Call &quot;Capacity Building for UN&quot;. Unfortunately we didn't get from the OSGeo Board the whole budget for the three Calls we had in mind, but Maria and Serena were able to find a solution: Boundless will sponsor the first Call. The Calls are meant for (young) researchers and educators and the proposal, as said, is to produce training material similar to what is already available for other projects (like QGIS GeoAcademy or Boundless GIS, just to mention the two that we already used for the UN Open GIS Capacity Building).<br /> <br /> The Open Call will be for producing Training Material for:<br /> <br /> a) UN Open GIS Spiral 1 (The web geo platform of the project and the mobile app: GeoSHAPE Exchange and GeoSHAPE Anywhere)<br /> [[Training Material for UN Open GIS Spiral 1]]<br /> <br /> <br /> b) UN Open GIS Spiral 2 (specific functionalities developed following the requests of the UN staff and not yet available in OS products. They are now available as WPSs)<br /> <br /> c) global open data (high resolution included) and open source GIS.<br /> <br /> The three calls will be hopefully launched by the end of this month.<br /> <br /> <br /> 4) There are two important appointments for the UN Open GIS Initiative:<br /> . Operational Demonstration of Spiral 1 in Entebbe (April 2018)<br /> . 3rd UN Open GIS Workshop in Berlin (May 2018)<br /> <br /> Due to economic restrictions (the small budget we have as Committee), only Maria will be able only to participate only to the former. Maria will report after the event about the progress in Spiral 1.<br /> <br /> === April 2018 ===<br /> <br /> 1 April 2018 <br /> Announcement of the OSGeo UN Committee Educational Challenge.

<p>Krdeepak: </p> <hr /> <div>The project incubation committee is responsible for overseeing the incubation process for new projects entering the foundation. The incubation committee provides resources to assist new projects to reach full membership, and makes recommendations to the board when they feel projects have completed incubation.<br /> <br /> == About the Incubation Committee ==<br /> <br /> The OSGeo Incubation Committee is an open source advocacy and outreach activity welcoming projects and development teams to our foundation.<br /> <br /> The committee is responsible for:<br /> <br /> # [https://www.osgeo.org/projects/ OSGeo project website] review<br /> #* Reviewing applications to list projects on the OSGeo website<br /> #* Preparing and recommend criteria and review process for projects to be listed on the OSGeo website<br /> # [https://www.osgeo.org/projects/#community Community project program]<br /> #* Reviewing community project applications and recommending projects to the board to be accepted as community projects<br /> #* Reporting on the status of projects in the community project program to the board periodically (via Chair)<br /> #* Preparing and recommending community project process and criteria to the board.<br /> #* See [[OSGeo_Community_Projects]] for more information<br /> # [https://www.osgeo.org/about/committees/incubation/incubation-process/ OSGeo Incubation process]<br /> #* Reviewing applications for incubation and making recommendations to the board on projects that should be admitted into incubation.<br /> #* Appointing [https://www.osgeo.org/about/committees/incubation/mentor/ mentors] for incubation projects.<br /> #* Reviewing progress of projects against incubation requirements, and recommending projects for full project status to the board, when deemed appropriate.<br /> #* Reporting on the status of projects in incubation and the incubation process to the board periodically (via Chair).<br /> #* Preparing and recommending incubation process and criteria to the board.<br /> <br /> The OSGeo incubation committee is not responsible for graduated OSGeo Projects. Graduated OSGeo projects are recognized as a committee who report directly to the board via their project officer.<br /> <br /> == Supporting project teams ==<br /> <br /> If you would like your software project to listed on the website, or apply to become an OSGeo Community project, please send a description of your project to the OSGeo Incubation Committee Mailing List. <br /> <br /> We look forward to helping you!<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; width=&quot;310&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center; font-weight: bold;&quot; | Responsibility<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; width=&quot;155&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center; font-weight: bold;&quot; | Website Listing<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; width=&quot;155&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center; font-weight: bold;&quot; | OSGeo Community<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; width=&quot;155&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center; font-weight: bold;&quot; | OSGeo Project<br /> |-<br /> | Geospatial &lt;br /&gt;<br /> - README or project description<br /> | X<br /> | X<br /> | X<br /> |-<br /> | Geospatial &lt;br /&gt;<br /> - User guide or quickstart<br /> | <br /> | X<br /> | X<br /> |-<br /> | Free or Open Source License &lt;br /&gt;<br /> - See LICENSE.md<br /> | X<br /> | X<br /> | X<br /> |-<br /> | Free or Open Source License &lt;br /&gt;<br /> - Check headers<br /> | <br /> | X<br /> | X<br /> |-<br /> | Free or Open Source License &lt;br /&gt;<br /> - Providence Review<br /> | <br /> | <br /> | X<br /> |-<br /> | Participatory&lt;br /&gt;<br /> - See CONTRIBUTING.md<br /> | X<br /> | X<br /> | X<br /> |-<br /> | Participatory&lt;br /&gt;<br /> - History of pull requests or patches<br /> | <br /> | X<br /> | X<br /> |-<br /> | Participatory&lt;br /&gt;<br /> - CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md<br /> | <br /> | X<br /> | X<br /> |-<br /> | Open Community&lt;br /&gt;<br /> - communication channel&lt;br /&gt;<br /> - decision making process<br /> |<br /> | <br /> | X<br /> |-<br /> | Active Healthy Community&lt;br /&gt;<br /> - user and developer collaboration&lt;br /&gt;<br /> - long term viability<br /> |<br /> | <br /> | X<br /> |-<br /> | Development Process&lt;br /&gt;<br /> - version control&lt;br /&gt;<br /> - issue tracker&lt;br /&gt;<br /> - leadership open to new members&lt;br /&gt;<br /> - transparent decision making<br /> |<br /> | <br /> | X<br /> |-<br /> | Documentation&lt;br /&gt;<br /> - user documentation&lt;br /&gt;<br /> - developer documentation<br /> |<br /> | <br /> | X<br /> |-<br /> | Release Procedure&lt;br /&gt;<br /> - release process&lt;br /&gt;<br /> - documented testing process&lt;br /&gt;<br /> |<br /> | <br /> | X<br /> |-<br /> | style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot; | Foundation Resources<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; width=&quot;155&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center; font-weight: bold;&quot; | Website Listing<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; width=&quot;155&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center; font-weight: bold;&quot; | OSGeo Community<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; width=&quot;155&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center; font-weight: bold;&quot; | OSGeo Project<br /> |-<br /> | website project list<br /> | X<br /> | X<br /> | X<br /> |-<br /> | website choose-a-project<br /> | X<br /> | X<br /> | X<br /> |-<br /> | OSGeo Live<br /> | X<br /> | X<br /> | X<br /> |-<br /> | Marketing Collateral<br /> | <br /> | X<br /> | X<br /> |-<br /> | Representation<br /> |<br /> |<br /> | project officer<br /> |-<br /> | infrastructure and facilities<br /> |<br /> | X<br /> | X<br /> |-<br /> | promotion &amp; marketing<br /> | <br /> | X<br /> | X<br /> |-<br /> | budget<br /> |<br /> | osgeo board<br /> | project budget<br /> |-<br /> | fundraising<br /> |<br /> | X<br /> | X<br /> |}<br /> <br /> === Financial support ===<br /> <br /> The incubation process establishes a project as a full fledged OSGeo committee, with a project project officer, with direct access to OSGeo treasurer, and reporting to the board during annual general meeting.<br /> <br /> While Community projects are not recognized as an independent committee, the OSGeo board maintains an &quot;OSGeo Community&quot; initiative with budget to support your activities. Attend one of the OSGeo board monthly meetings, or ask on the board mailing list, if your project has an activity that can benefit from financial support.<br /> <br /> For more information see [https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/blob/master/board/documents/osgeo_financial_guidance.pdf osgeo_financial_guidence.pdf] <br /> <br /> === Branding ===<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; width=&quot;310&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center; font-weight: bold;&quot; | Community<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; width=&quot;310&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center; font-weight: bold;&quot; | Project<br /> |-<br /> | [[File:OSGeo community.png|frameless|OSGeo Community Project]]<br /> | [[File:OSGeo project.png|frameless|OSGeo Project]]<br /> |}<br /> <br /> == Step 1: Add OSGeo Website Project Page ==<br /> <br /> To be listed on the OSGeo website:<br /> <br /> # Be geospatial<br /> #* Confirm by checking README or project description<br /> # Have a free license or open source license<br /> #* The license must be OSI approved<br /> # Welcome participation and new contributors.<br /> #* We look for a clear contribution policy<br /> <br /> If you have questions about the above, or would like guidance on setting up your open source project, please reach out to us.<br /> <br /> Here is an example email request ([https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/incubator mailing list sign up required]):<br /> <br /> : '''to''': incubator@lists.osgeo.org<br /> :<br /> : '''subject''': water topology api <br /> : <br /> : '''message''':<br /> :<br /> :: Incubation committee:<br /> ::<br /> :: I would like to ask permission to to list my project &quot;water topology api&quot; on the OSGeo website in order to share my work with more people!<br /> ::<br /> :: The project is built on PostGIS topology providing a REST API to help with watershed analysis and maintenance.<br /> ::<br /> :: The repository is located here: https://gitlab.host.net/watertopo/ released using GPL license.<br /> ::<br /> :: My OSGeo userid is &quot;atlantis&quot; and I will need permission to create a project page.<br /> ::<br /> :: Thanks!<br /> <br /> == Step 2: Join OSGeo Community Projects Initiative ==<br /> <br /> Projects applying to the *OSGeo Community Projects* initiative are asked to:<br /> <br /> # Be geospatial <br /> #* Confirm by checking README or project description<br /> #* project page on the osgeo website<br /> #* We ask projects have some user documentation, for example an OSGeo Live quickstart<br /> # Have a free license or an open source license.<br /> #* The license must be OSI approved<br /> #* We ask that the project team check the file headers and double check the license has been appropriately applied<br /> # Welcome participation and new contributors.<br /> #* We look for a clear contribution policy<br /> #* We ask that the project demonstrate collaboration, perhaps with a history of bug report or pull requests<br /> #* Projects are required to have a code of conduct<br /> <br /> OSGeo provides [https://www.osgeo.org/code_of_conduct/ code of conduct guidance], many projects selecting [https://www.contributor-covenant.org/ contribution covenant]).<br /> <br /> OSGeo [[Community Projects]] can take part in the incubation committee for guidance on open source use, setting up project governance, promoting the project, and building the project community.

Successful projects are teamed up with an experienced open source mentor to help answer questions, obtain legal council, and help guide work on transparency and community development as required.<br /> <br /> Although incubation is a lot of work, this is opportunity for project teams to grow and improve and be publicly recognized for their accomplishment.<br /> <br /> To be recognized as an *OSGeo Project* we ask that project teams excel in each of areas mentioned above, see [https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/blob/master/incubation/documents/graduation_checklist.pdf graduation checklist] ( [https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/blob/master/incubation/documents/graduation_checklist.md markdown] ) or the comparison table on this page for more detail.<br /> <br /> The OSGeo incubation process takes place in three stages:<br /> <br /> # Initial Application<br /> ## Application request <br /> ## Mentor volunteer<br /> # Incubator<br /> ## Project Status: project details, and a few resourcing questions for the system admin committee (see [[Project Status Template]]).<br /> ## Provenance Review: project team check to ensure the project is open source and has permission to distribute its source code.<br /> ## Project team and mentor work on [https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/blob/master/incubation/documents/graduation_checklist.pdf graduation checklist] ( [https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/blob/master/incubation/documents/graduation_checklist.md markdown] ) priorities<br /> # Graduation<br /> ## Mentor recommends project for graduation with motion to the incubation committee<br /> ## Committee chair informs the OSGeo board, who appoints the project team as a newly formed OSGeo committee<br /> <br /> == Incubation ==<br /> <br /> The following projects are currently in OSGeo incubation. The links provided are used to track the progress of incubation projects and are used by the developer team (and OSGeo mentor). In many cases the links will take you to a project specific wiki or website in order to be closer to their target community.<br /> <br /> When projects have completed the graduation checklist their mentor will recommend them to the Incubation committee for graduation.<br /> <br /> === IstSOS ===<br /> <br /> '''IstSOS''': http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/IstSOS<br /> # [[IstSOS Provenance Review]]<br

The initial projects to go through the incubation process helped define what is required. The above pages tracked the progress (and capture the experience) of these projects.<br /> <br /> == Withdrawn == <br /> <br /> The following projects did not complete incubation:<br /> <br /> * '''[http://www.rasdaman.org rasdaman]''': : [[ rasdaman Incubation Status ]] | [http://rasdaman.org/wiki/OSGeoCodeProvenance Code Provenance] | [http://www.rasdaman.org/wiki/OSGeoIncubationChecklist Incubation Checklist] (Mentor [[User: Bruce.bannerman|Bruce Bannerman]] )<br /> * '''[http://trac.osgeo.org/metacrs/ MetaCRS]''': :: [[MetaCRS Incubation Status]] (Mentor: Daniel Morissette)<br /> <br /> == Committee Operation ==<br /> <br /> The incubation committee operates within the OSGeo committee guidelines, operating in a close working relationship with the OSGeo board as reflected in our responsibilities above.<br /> <br /> * Voting members: Voting members are maintained on this page as outlined below. This committee is volunteer based with committee member ship driven by email request to be added or removed. Inactive members (see below) are removed as needed to preserve committee function.<br /> * Project mentors: Have volunteered to represent our organization at a personal level as a guest on the projects email list and meetings. Project mentors are responsible for recommending when a project is ready for graduation based on this first hand experience. For more information see mentor guidelines.<br /> * Committee chair: Committee chair appointed by motion, result forward to the board for approval and recognition as an officer of the foundation. Committee chair is responsible for operation of the committee.<br /> * Communication: This committee operates on the [https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/incubator incubator mailing list]. With the occasional breakout IRC meeting, hangout, or phone call to explore specific issues.<br /> * Decision making: Decision making is performed by email motion. Motions are held open for a two week period. Each motion requires a 50% quorum within the two week period. Voting consists of +1 (approval), +0 (slight agreement), -0 (slight disagreement), -1 (against). The committee chair is responsible for replying to the email thread with voting results and motion resolution.<br /> ** Email motions should be clearly worded and have a subject line “Motion:”.<br /> ** Motions are held open for a two week period to give everyone a chance to respond, this accounts for volunteers that are only available on weekends.<br /> ** At discretion of the chair a motion may be held open longer than two weeks.<br /> ** If a motion does not gather a 50% response within a two week period we may need to revisit our active member list – removing members that have not voted within the last year.<br /> ** Voting +0 and -0 are a good way to reach quorum for volunteers that have not had a chance to follow the discussion, or to abstain if you feel uncomfortable voting on a topic.<br /> ** There is no veto in the incubation committee, but we tend to respect -1 votes and withdraw motions that are divisive. It is noted that when reviewing graduation checklists -1 votes tend to track outstanding issues that are then addressed within the voting period.<br /> * Independence: Our mandate is focused on providing to the OSGeo board as outlined above.<br /> <br /> Example email:<br /> <br /> Subject: motion: accept project x as a community project<br /> <br /> The following motion has been made by Firstname Lastname:<br /> <br /> Motion to accept project x as an community project.<br /> <br /> This motion is held open for two weeks closing MONTH DAY, requiring 50% quorum,<br /> from the following incubation committee members:<br /> <br /> * LINE BY LINE BULLETED LIST OF CURRENT MEMBERS<br /> <br /> A subsequent email will be sent when the motion is completed, either by the elapsed time period, or by unanimous consent before the closing period.<br /> <br /> === Committee Members ===<br /> <br /> '''Volunteers Welcome''' - if you would like to take part we are always looking for new members, sign up to the [https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/incubator email list], and introduce yourself to volunteer.<br /> <br /> Current members:<br /> <br /> * [[User:Kalxas|Angelos Tzotsos]]<br /> * Arnulf Christl<br /> * Bob (CI-StPaul) Basques<br /> * [[User:darkblueb|Brian M Hamlin]] <br /> * Daniel Morissette<br /> * [[Krdeepak|Deepak Kumar]]<br /> * Dimitris Kotzinos<br /> * Frank Warmerdam<br /> * [[User:Jive|Jody Garnett]] (chair)<br /> * Michael Smith<br /> * [[User:Nickbearman|Nick Bearman]]<br /> * [[User:Robe|Regina Obe]]<br /> * Steve Lime<br /> * Tom Kralidis<br /> <br /> '''Thank you''' - we ask that volunteers remain active, joining the discussion and voting on the email list.

<p>Krdeepak: </p> <hr /> <div>The Code Of Conduct Committee is responsible for defining internal workflows and sharing organization knowledge related to the maintenance, implementation, and continued improvement of the OSGeo Code of Conduct ([[Code_Of_Conduct | background-wiki]], [http://www.osgeo.org/code_of_conduct Official OSGeo Code of Conduct]) which was approved by the OSGeo Board in 2015. (For more on the committee scope, see below.)<br /> <br /> == Code of Conduct Comminication ==<br /> l<br /> OSGeo requires our projects, events and communities establish and follow a code of conduct, see [http://www.osgeo.org/code_of_conduct Official OSGeo Code of Conduct] website page:<br /> <br /> * [https://berlincodeofconduct.org Berlin Code of Conduct] a community managed code of conduct for events and user groups<br /> * [https://www.contributor-covenant.org/ contributor-covenant] a community managed code of conduct for open source projects<br /> * [https://www.osgeo.org/resources/osgeo-code-of-conduct/ OSGeo Code of Conduct Version 1.0] initial OSGeo code of conduct approved May 2015<br /> <br /> Reporting:<br /> <br /> * conduct-report@osgeo.org<br /> <br /> Committee:<br /> <br /> * coc-discuss@osgeo.org is used by committee members, and is available to assist OSGeo groups establish their code of conduct<br /> <br /> == Membership ==<br /> <br /> The inaugural co-chairs (serving for a term of one year) were Kristin Bott and Camille Acey. (Note: [https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/coc-discuss/2015-November/000027.html Camille stepped down] 2015/11/18.)The committee will be open and maintain an open mailing list (coc-discuss@osgeo.org) but will maintain a smaller voting committee (which can be contacted on their private mailing list at conduct-report@osgeo.org) to report conduct incidents and violations. This smaller committee will consist of a total of 5 members also serving one year terms. The additional 3 members will be appointed by the co-chairs.<br /> <br /> Membership:<br /> <br /> * Chair: Vicky Vergara<br /> * Jody Garnett<br /> * Deepak Kumar<br /> * Michael Smith<br /> * Adam Steer<br /> <br /> Prior members:<br /> <br /> * Kristin Bot<br /> * Camille Acey<br /> <br /> == Mission ==<br /> Our mission is to assist in making sure that OSGeo continues to be an inclusive and welcoming organization; we will accomplish this by (1) guiding policy around the CoC and other initiatives to increase diversity and (2) dealing with reports of violations of the CoC. The CoC committee will continue to iterate on the CoC, its implementation, and committee membership in order to ensure that they represent, nurture, and encourage diversity in our community.<br /> <br /> == Name ==<br /> We believe that an explicitly-named committee evidences OSGeo’s commitment to the CoC. As such we wish to retain the name of “Code of Conduct Committee”.<br /> <br /> === Scope ===<br /> * The committee will be responsible for developing and receiving board approval for Code of Conduct (CoC) implementation policy. Once approved, this policy and associated documentation will be circulated amongst the community.<br /> * In support of the OSGeo Code of Conduct, the committee will work with all community members, with a strong focus on those who moderate OSGeo IRC channels, organize OSGeo gatherings and events (including FOSS4G), as well as those who steer existing OSGeo projects and/or incubate new projects.<br /> * The committee will review and respond to reports of violations of the CoC from participants in OSGeo projects, gatherings, events, and IRC channels. “Violations” refers to any acts by individuals or groups who repeatedly act in a way that is contrary to the stated priorities of OSGeo as an organization (i.e. the board-approved CoC). <br /> * The committee will maintain an archive/repository of such violations as well as any organizational decisions around individuals’ conduct/participation (e.g. names of banned individuals); the OSGeo LOCs, moderators, and/or board will absolutely continue to determine whether/not individuals are welcome to participate in OSGeo events / projects / forums.<br /> * The committee will serve as a resource to Local Organizing Committees (LOC's), moderators, and other individuals and groups leading OSGeo activities, projects, and events.<br /> <br /> == Dealing With Code of Conduct Violations/ Reports of Violations ==<br /> The CoC committee has no desire to blacklist individuals or provide a heavy-handed &quot;police-like&quot; role. Instead, we aim to serve as a resource to LOCs, moderators and the board, and to continue to iterate towards more inclusive practice/policy, as well as to help to maintain institutional knowledge about CoC violations and the decisions the LOCs, moderators, and/or board make with regard to those violations. “Violations” refers to any acts by individuals or groups who repeatedly act in a way that is contrary to the stated priorities of OSGeo as an organization (i.e. the board-approved CoC). <br /> <br /> We intend to maintain an archive/repository of such incidents as well as any organizational (e.g. board or LOC) decisions around individuals’ conduct/participation (e.g. official warnings issues, any official investigations, and names of banned individuals). The OSGeo LOCs, moderators, and/or board will continue to determine whether/not individuals are welcome to participate in OSGeo events / projects / forums.<br /> <br /> == Communication and Privacy ==<br /> <br /> The group will maintain a public mailing list at [https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/coc-discuss coc-discuss@osgeo.org] ([https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/coc-discuss/ list archives]).<br /> <br /> The email address conduct-report@osgeo.org is intended for confidential and sensitive information, with incidents discussed privately (not recorded on a public mailing list). The Code of Conduct Committee meetings are held private meeting (in their venue of choice). The committee is available to hold public meetings upon request (e.g. in IRC to help a project team establish a code of conduct).<br /> <br /> == Documents/Resources ==<br /> <br /> Additional committee documents and resources can be found at [[CodeofConduct_Documents]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Committees]]<br /> [[Category:Board Approval Pending]]</div>

This will help students better appreciate the 'benefits of' and *their* 'responsibility for' open source, open standards and open data in geospatial technology. <br /> <br /> Widespread application of e-learning tools and open source GIS will increase access to GIS education. Free and open GI software helps make geospatial education available to students from economically poor backgrounds worldwide (removing the need for high cost proprietary GI software). Our key aim is to make it possible for students in developing and poor countries to also be able to receive highest quality geospatial education and have the tools to build their own solutions! One area that needs attention is &quot;Train the Trainer&quot; GIS programs for school teachers all over the world. Can you help? <br /> <br /> It is very important we have open source GIS and standards-based solutions (OGC, ISO TC 211) to achieve widespread application of geotools at the grassroots level, especially in developing countries. Open source GIS increases accessibility, low cost solutions and also lowers entry barriers for use of geospatial technologies by all.<br /> <br /> GeoForAll is setup as an OSGeo committee with representation by initiative members, for more information see [[GeoForAll History]].<br /> <br /> == Regions ==<br /> <br /> * Africa <br /> ** Chairs: Rania Elsayed Ibrahim (Egypt) , Serena Coetzee (South Africa), Bridget Fleming (South Africa)<br /> ** Mail list: geoforall-africa@lists.osgeo.org <br /> ** Webpage: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GeoForAll_Africa<br /> <br /> <br /> * Asia (including Australia)<br /> ** Chairs: Tuong Thuy Vu (Malaysia/Vietnam), Deepak Kumar (India/Nepal), Venkatesh Raghavan (Japan/India) <br /> ** Mail list: geoforall-asiaaustralia@lists.osgeo.org<br /> ** Webpage: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GeoForAll_Asia<br /> <br /> <br /> * Europe <br /> ** Chairs: Maria Brovelli (Italy), Peter Mooney (Ireland) <br /> ** Mail list: geoforall-europe@lists.osgeo.org <br /> ** Webpage: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GeoForAll_Europe<br /> <br /> <br /> * North America <br /> ** Chairs: Helena Mitasova (USA), Charles Schweik (USA), Phillip Davis (USA) <br /> ** Mail list: geoforall-northamerica@lists.osgeo.org<br /> ** Webpage: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GeoForAll_North_America<br /> <br /> <br /> * South America <br /> ** Chairs: Sergio Acosta y Lara (Uruguay), Silvana Camboim (Brazil) <br /> ** Mail list: geoforall-southamerica@lists.osgeo.org<br /> ** Webpage: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GeoForAll_South_America<br /> <br /> == Themes ==<br /> <br /> * GeoForAll Labs Educational Collaboration<br /> ** Chairs: Charlie Schweik (USA), Deepak Kumar (India), '''others'''?<br /> ** Website: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GeoForAll_Labs_Edu_Collaborations<br /> <br /> <br /> * Urban Science - City Analytics: ''''''CitySmart App Road Map''''''<br /> ** Chairs: Chris Pettit (Australia), Patrick Hogan (USA) <br /> ** Mail list: geoforall-urbanscience@lists.osgeo.org<br /> ** Website: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Opencitysmart<br /> <br /> <br /> * Teacher Training &amp; School Education<br /> ** Chairs: Elżbieta Wołoszyńska-Wiśniewska (Poland), Nikos Lambrinos (Greece), Deepak Kumar (India)<br /> ** Mail list: geoforall-teachertraining@lists.osgeo.org<br /> ** Website: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GeoForAll_TeacherTraining_SchoolEducation<br /> <br /> <br /> * GeoForAll (GeoParaTodos) Themes in Spanish<br /> ** Chairs: Sergio Acosta y Lara (Uruguay), Antoni Pérez Navarro (Spain)<br /> ** Mail list: Spanish : geoforall-iberoamerica@lists.osgeo.org<br /> ** Website: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GeoForAll_Iberoam%C3%A9rica<br /> <br /> [[Category: GeoForAll]]</div>
