|Languages=English; Italian; German; French; Spanish; Romansh;
|Info=I am an open-source advocate, consultant, teacher, and developer. My background is in geography with a specialization in geographic information science. I live in Switzerland in a small Romansh-speaking mountain village where I love scrambling around the mountains to enjoy the feeling of freedom it gives me. I’m a very communicative person, I fluently speak Italian, German, French English, and Spanish and love travelling.

I work as director of OPENGIS.ch which I founded in 2011. Since 2015 I share the company ownership with Matthias Kuhn. At OPENGIS.ch we are core developers, senior architects, full-stack ninjas and GIS wizards. We love open-source and are committed to the sustainable growth of the tools we work on.

My first QGIS (to be correct for that time QuantumGIS) ever was “Simon (0.6)” during my BSc when the University of Zurich was teaching us proprietary products and I started looking around for Open Source alternatives. In 2008, when starting my MSc, I made the definitive switch to Ubuntu and I started working more and more with QGIS Metis (0.11) and ended up developing some plugins and part of Globe as my master's thesis. Since three years the University of Zurich invites me to hold two seminars on Entrepreneurship and Open Source. In November 2011 I attended my first Hackfest in Zürich where I started porting all QGIS dependencies and developing QGIS for Android under a Google Summer of Code. A couple of years and a lot of work later QField was born. Since then I’ve always tried to attend at least one Hackfest per year to be able to feel first-hand the strong bonds within our very welcoming community.

In 2013 I was lucky enough to have a release named after a suggestion I saved you all from having QGIS 2.0 - Hönggerberg and giving you instead QGIS 2.0 - Dufour

Besides my long story with QGIS as a user and passionate advocate, I have a long story as a QGIS service provider where we are fully committed to its stability, feature-richness and sustainable development. Furthermore, as a consultant, I am lucky enough to be sent now and then to spread the QGIS goodness in less fortunate countries.

|Info=Tim started his career by working in Nature Conservation in South Africa. Some years later, around 1998, an opening in the newly formed GIS group in the organisation where he worked presented an opportunity to combine his love of the environment with his enthusiasm for computers. What followed quickly became a deep dive into GIS (including obtaining a Master's Degree in GIS and Environmental Studies) and Open Source. He discovered Linux, also around 1998, and became an ardent fan of using and creating Open Source software. The announcement of the first release of QGIS in 2002 was another key milestone, with Tim quickly becoming deeply involved in the development of QGIS, as well as helping to build the community platforms and governance structures around the project. Formerly the QGIS.org Board Chair, Tim was awarded perpetual Honorary QGIS PSC Member status in 2018 and continues to play an active role in many aspects of the QGIS project. Tim is also engaged in the broader Open Source GIS ecosystem, including having the honour of being an OSGEO Charter Member and promoting the wide array of world-changing Open Source GIS tools provided under the OSGEO umbrella (and beyond) to pretty much anyone who will listen.

Recognising the need for professional services around the Open Source GIS ecosystem, Tim started his own company, Linfiniti, in 2008. Through a merger with Afrispatial, Tim co-founded Kartoza (https://kartoza.com) in 2014. The company helps Tim to achieve his personal vision of making spatial decision-making tools broadly available to everyone so that we can responsibly manage our precious earth and properly serve the societies that inhabit it. Today Tim's work at Kartoza focuses mainly on humanitarian, social upliftment, and environmental projects. Kartoza as a whole uses its skills in software development, consulting, training, and applied GIS to support customers in a broad range of disciplines from creating the building blocks of cloud-native GIS, smart farming, infrastructure management, energy planning and provision, national metadata initiatives, and many more interesting applications.

Two other key OSGEO achievements have been co-chair for the 2008 FOSS4G Conference in Cape Town and on the organising committee for the 2018.

= Initiatives =

While the board is focused on decision making occasionally there is a call for a long term activity in support of our goals and objectives. We are especially proud of joint initiatives undertaken with other parties as a tangible result of collaboration and community building.

[https://www.osgeo.org/initiatives/ Initiatives]:

* [https://www.osgeo.org/initiatives/geo-for-all/ GeoForAll] - education and research outreach

* [https://www.osgeo.org/initiatives/foss4g/ FOSS4G (Events)] - managed by the conference committee

* [https://www.osgeo.org/initiatives/foss4g-travel-grant-program/ Travel Grant Program] - facilitate accessibility and diversity at our global and regional FOSS4G events

* [https://www.osgeo.org/initiatives/open-geoscience/ Open GeoScience] - make scientific research, data and results transparent and accessible for science and society

* [https://www.osgeo.org/initiatives/un-initiative/ UN Initiatve] - support the UN migration to Open Source Geospatial software solutions

* [https://www.osgeo.org/initiatives/gsoc/ Google Summer of Code (GSoC)] - encourage university student participation in open source software development

* [https://www.osgeo.org/initiatives/osgeo-live-initiative/ OSGeoLive Initiative]

* [[OSGeo Community Project Initiative]]: created foster innovation and collaboration resulting in a lower barrier of entry to join the OSGeo Family. Managed by the board with the assistance of the incubation committee to [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Incubation_Committee#Step_2:_Join_Community_Projects_Program review applicants].

* [[OSGeo Code Sprints Initiative]] - sponsorship program for projects and communities planning targeted software development.

* [[OSGeo Security Initiative]] - sponsorship program providing emergency funds for projects faced with an urgent security vulnerability.

* [https://www.osgeo.org/meta-crs-initiative/ Meta CRS Initiative] - gathers together interested parties from across several projections, and coordinate system related technologies

* [https://www.osgeo.org/opengis-harmonization/ OpenGIS Harmonization] - untangle the use of org.opengis java package between OSGeo GeoTools project and OGC GeoAPI Standard. This is a cross-project initiative as many projects in our Java family are affected by any change.

While the board is responsible for defining the scope and responsibilities of these activities, initiatives require participation for success. OSGeo projects and committees may have additional initiatives of interest beyond the ones listed here as overseen by the board.

Creating an initiative is a great way to setup for a recurring activity (such as GSoC) without the "overhead" of establishing a full OSGeo committee.

= Working Groups =

While the board is focused on decision making occasionally there is a call for action. The following working groups are focused on accomplishing a specific 2-3 week objective and will report back to the board list when completed. This is in contrast to long term activities handled by committees.

== 2021 Working Groups ==

* none at present

== 2015 Working Groups ==

* [[2015 Sponsorship Drive Working Group]] - contact prior sponsors, blog post inviting new sponsors
* [[GeoForAll OSGeo Relationship]]: Revised Education Committee mandate pending clarification of relationship with Geo4All advisory board (our GeoForAll representatives are Venkatesh Raghavan and Jeff McKenna)

= Planning =

* [[Sponsorship Opportunities for 2017]]

The following has been published as the following [http://www.osgeo.org/node/1755 blog post] and [http://www.osgeo.org/sponsorship how to sponsor page].

== 2016 Planning ==

=== Operational Budget for 2016 ===

Thanks to our sponsors, and a series of successful events, OSGeo does has an operational budget for 2016.

* [[OSGeo Budget 2016]]

The Board has divided the above budget up according to our priority as an organization. Please keep in mind that prior boards have taken this approach - and spent nothing due to lack of volunteers willing to lead the charge. The following is budget and does not provide a commitment to spend money on the actives listed - to do that we need your commitment as a volunteer!

=== Strategic Plan 2016 ===

''From Anne'': See the parallel Skate-Boarding of Fedora at http://fedoramagazine.org/lets-talk-about-fedora-project-objectives/ - I really like the idea of having 18 months goals, that are measurable, backed up by community agreement. Let's discuss this at the first Sprint. There are also [http://www.jonobacon.org/2014/11/14/ubuntu-governance-reboot/ some thoughts on Ubuntu governance] that can inspire us, but I haven't gone through the whole discussion yet, and there are many differences between OSGeo and Ubuntu; so I'm not sure on how much we can learn from it.

This section outlines OSGeo strategic plan for 2016 - this is a result of the [http://www.osgeo.org/about vision, mission and goals] established at the [[Board_Face_to_Face_Meeting_2016|2016 face to face meeting]].

Strategic objectives for 2016:

* S01: showcasing excellence in our communities
* S02: proactively engage with external partners
* S03: Fostering our mission, vision and goals
* S04: Empowering our communities and extending our reach

These objectives were taken to the community for concrete / measurable actions volunteers were interested in tackling over the course of 2016.

Update: We did not receive enough feedback to form a strategic plan.

== 2013 Planning ==

* [[OSGeo Board : Board Priorities 2013]] - establish OSGeo as a low capital, volunteer focused organization focused supporting communities and initiatives which support themselves

== 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 (2026) to the projects mailing list.
* Board decided to not assign a default budget this year.
* This is a budget, representing planned spending in 2026 - 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

Total Projects Budget for 2025: $18,000 USD

Total Projects spending for 2025: -$4,459 USD

Total Projects Budget for 2026: $43,600 USD

== Community Projects ==

Community projects act through the board as they do not have a project officer.

* Community Projects can ask the Board for spending approval (since they do not have a Project Officer) from the approved Community Projects budget.
* Projects that have been accepted into the incubation program can ask the Incubation Committee for assistance to work on incubation (such requests are included in the incubation committee budget not here).

= Events =

== Community Events ==

We have set aside a budget for community events in 2025:

* 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.
* Our 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 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 (2026) to the projects mailing list.
* Board decided to not assign a default budget this year.
* This is a budget, representing planned spending in 2026 - 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

* Projects that have been accepted into the incubation program can ask the Incubation Committee for assistance to work on incubation (such requests are included in the incubation committee budget not here).

= Events =

== Community Events ==

We have set aside a budget for community events in 2025:

* 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.
* Our 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.

Election 2025 Candidate Manifestos

2025-12-02T08:29:43Z

Ticheler: /* Jeroen Ticheler - The Netherlands (OSGeo profile) */

A space for the candidates for 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.

You are welcome to follow the template, and add further relevant info as you need:

== ''Name Template'' - ''Country'' ([https://www.osgeo.org/member/''name''/ OSGeo profile]) ==

=== About me ===

=== My vision ===

=== What you have done within the community in the past ===

=== What your interests are in terms of the board ===

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

=== What role you would wish to fulfill on the board (if any) ===

== ''Vicky Vergara'' - ''Mexico'' ([https://www.osgeo.org/member/vicky-vergara/ OSGeo profile]) ==

=== About me ===

I haven't changed much from the last times I wrote a manifesto:
* On [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Election_2023_Candidate_Manifestos#Vicky_Vergara_-_Mexico_.28OSGeo_profile.29 2023] I wrote about my hobbies and what I like to do during a FOSS4G.
* On [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Election_2021_Candidate_Manifestos#Vicky_Vergara.2C_Mexico_.28OSGeo_profile.29 2021] I wrote about what the 9 year old me thought about where I live and how it has changed.
* On [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Election_2019_Candidate_Manifestos#5._Vicky_Vergara.2C_Mexico_.28OSGeo_profile.29 2019] I wrote about that my laziness make me do and redo things until I figure out how to do them efficient and fast, so the next time I do them I can be lazy.
* On [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Election_2017_Candidate_Manifestos#Vicky_Vergara 2017] I wrote about how I arrived to OSGeo

My conclusion re-reading the ''about me'' in those manifestos: I like to talk and write.

Some day I would like share with you the autographs I have gathered during the FOSS4G, that is I made people talk and write :-), in all languages, for example, this year I have in Nepali, Bengali, Japanese

This time I will leave my autograph in Spanish here:

Deseo que todo en su vida personal y profesional sea de lo mejor para todos.
Vicky

(Translation: I hope that everything in your personal or professional life is the best for you all.)

=== My vision ===

Summary if my Vision of OSGeo:

* OSGeo Foundation is here to serve the Flora of the world.
* OSGeo Foundation is here to serve the Fauna of the world.
* OSGeo Foundation is here to serve the Climate of the world.
* OSGeo Foundation is here to serve the People of the world.
* OSGeo Foundation is here to serve the Countries of the world.
* All OSGeo community members are PSC (Propose, Suggest and Comment)

=== What you have done within the community in the past ===

Normal life in front of the computer:
* Developing any of the pgRouting software:
** pgRouting
** vrpRouting
** osm2pgrouting
** pgRouting workshop
* Work on OSGeoLive:
** Documentation
** Checking the installed software
* Member of committees:
** Code of Conduct Committee
** System Administration Committee
** Board Member
* Other tasks
** Google Summer of Code mentor
** Read and answer mails

=== What your interests are in terms of the board ===

* The right to be the best one can be.
* Promote the development and use of Open Source Software.

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

'''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 X country?
* Why do we have mostly sponsors from North America and Europe?
* 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"?
* Are we scalable?
* Why ....

=== What role you would wish to fulfill on the board (if any) ===

Vice president of the Latin America Area

== ''Jeroen Ticheler'' - ''The Netherlands'' ([https://www.osgeo.org/member/jeroen-ticheler/ OSGeo profile]) ==

=== About me ===

I’m Jeroen Ticheler, director and owner of ([https://www.geocat.net GeoCat]), founder of ([https://www.geonetwork-opensource.org GeoNetwork]) and current member of the board of directors of OSGeo.

I’m obsessed with helping organising and publishing (geospatial) data using free and open source software in a sustainable way. I started my career at the United Nations supporting Early Warning Systems with satellite imagery and quickly moved to also support the management of geospatial data.

Now, 25 years onwards, the GeoNetwork software we develop runs at over 85% of national geoportals in Europe (find thousands of harmonized, authoritative datasets ([https://inspire-geoportal.ec.europa.eu/srv/eng/catalog.search#/datathemes here]) ) and is in use at all levels in governments around the world.

A bit more background on me can be found in ([https://www.osgeo.org/member/jeroen-ticheler/ my OSGeo profile]) and in ([https://wiki.osgeo.org/w/index.php?title=Election_2023_Candidate_Manifestos#About_me the description]) for the 2023 elections.

=== My vision ===

For the coming two years I want to focus on change in OSGeo. For this I have written ([https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KRdCKB8HvI9FctF1Ulg6UfoCImjEYKaQkgg9l1HueZs '''a vision document''']) that is currently up for comments by the community. My goal is to ''Get Things Done''. More specifically those things described in the vision document that have traction within the community.

=== What you have done within the community in the past ===

Besides my involvement as PSC chair in the GeoNetwork opensource project, I have been involved as Charter member from 2006 onwards, served on the OSGeo Marketing and Conference Committees, as well as on the OSGeo Board (2007-2009 and 2023-now).

In the last 10+ years my involvement has also been in the form of a sponsor to OSGeo and FOSS4G (both global, regional and local) and by organising a yearly Code Sprint in Bolsena 2007-2023.

In the run up to the vision document mentioned above, I have taken time to talk face to face with numerous people and the current board membership.

=== What your interests are in terms of the board ===

As a member of the board I can help to '''make OSGeo future proof'''. This requires several concrete actions and needs our community to step up to the tasks to make that happen. As a community member with a long history, I'm convinced I can bring ideas to the table and move them forward.

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

Yes, many. But the main ones would be:

# Numbered list item to '''make OSGeo financially solid''' so it can support its mission: To foster global adoption of open geospatial technology by being an inclusive software foundation devoted to an open philosophy and participatory community driven development.
# make sure there are new options for '''paid/supporting membership''' and for '''sponsoring''' that are attractive for both the community, sponsors, OSGeo and FOSS4G conference organisers.
# make sure there is '''a European legal entity of OSGeo''' that can serve its European membership, Local Chapters and the global OSGeo mission.

Furthermore one of the things that absolutely has my attention is responsible entrepreneurship. OSGeo needs to be a well balanced community of people from all parts of society, including volunteers, students and scientists, public servants and businesses.

=== What role you would wish to fulfill on the board (if any) ===

The role of president or vice president.

* [https://about.zenodo.org/ Introduction to the Zenodo open access repository]
* [https://help.zenodo.org/ Zenodo FAQ]

== Howto information for GitHub Repo maintainers (source [https://help.zenodo.org/ Zenodo FAQ]) ==

=== My organizational repository does not show up on the GitHub list ===

''"In order to see and archive your organizational repositories on Zenodo you will need to have "Admin" permissions on said repository, either as an Admin of the organization or an Admin of one of your organization's repositories. Additionally, please make sure that the OAuth application on GitHub is granting permissions not only to your personal repositories but also to your organizational ones - to verify that go to your GitHub OAuth settings in your profile, and click on the Zenodo application to see more details. Make sure that Zenodo is given access (green tick) to your organization under "Organization access".

After that, navigate to your Zenodo GitHub settings page and click the "Sync now" button at the top."''

=== I made a GitHub release, but it does not show up on Zenodo. ===

''"Make sure the repository was enabled before the release was made, otherwise feel free to contact ZENODO."
''

=== Is it possible to archive a GitHub repository, before it was enabled on Zenodo? ===

''"Only the repositories which were enabled before a release was made will be archived automatically. If you want to archive some of your old releases, you can always download a release ZIP from GitHub and upload it to Zenodo using our web interface as a regular upload."''

=== How to change the default metadata for my GitHub releases? ===

''"You can include metadata in a .zenodo.json file at the root of your GitHub repository. This file's contents should be in line with the Zenodo deposit metadata schema and will be used to update the metadata from future GitHub releases. For more information on how to create a .zenodo.json file, you can have a look at our GitHub integration documenation."''

=== Do you support other software metadata files, like CITATION.cff or codemeta.json? ===

''"Part of our plans and ongoing work is to take into account or improve our integration of other software metadata schemas such as the Citation File Format (CFF) and CodeMeta. We are working closely with our users and scholarly software and citation communities to figure out exactly when, in what form, and how all these different metadata schemas and their files will be integrated into Zenodo."''

=== How does a CITATION.cff file affect the metadata of my GitHub release? ===

''"When we find a CITATION.cff file in your GitHub repository's root folder, we make a best-effort attempt at parsing Zenodo-compatible metadata from it.
For backwards-compatibility, if you have a .zenodo.json file in the repository, only the .zenodo.json's metadata will be taken into account. Of course, any existing valid CITATION.cff file will still be used to display the citation box on the GitHub repository page, but will not affect in any way the metadata we extract for your published release Zenodo record."''

=== Do you support versioning for already existing records? ===

''"Yes. However, for uploads published before the 30th of May 2017, you have to first upgrade your record to support versioning. This is done by clicking the “Upgrade to versioned record” button on the record page.

IMPORTANT If you have previously uploaded multiple versions of an upload as individual records on Zenodo, then DO NOT click the button to upgrade your record with versioning support. Please contact us so we can link the records under one versioning scheme.

Clicking the “Upgrade to versioned record” button on any of the records you would like to link, will irreversibly register them as individually-versioned records.

If you used the GitHub integration to archive your software on Zenodo, then we have already migrated and linked your records to support versioning."''

== DOI acknowledgement by Publishers and Journals ==

References in indexed scientific literature to research software, including the OSGeo software projects, can be counted as citations and due scientific credit for the persons developing and maintaining the research software).

The emerging best practice for software references is reference by DOI. Such a DOI reference can either refer to the software project as a whole (concept DOI), or a particular release of the codebase (version DOI).

Keeping track of DOI-based software citations can both be done manually or by automated analysis of metadata about the publication provided centrally by CrossRef or DataCite.

The prerequisite for automated analysis and reporting (as in FA'''''I'''''R: machine-actionable and interoperable) is the provision of a full references list for the publication as a complete set of metadata to CrossRef.

If only a limited subset of the reference list is provided to CrossRef, metadata-based automated analysis and reporting will return no result, meaning no information about the citation.

In such a case, despite the best intentions by the publication authors by using DOI-based software citations in their publication, because of the lack of metadata, automated reporting will return no result and there will be no due credit by citation to the software project.

This also affects the software developer team, as there will be no credit / recognition of their roles as (research-)software authors, because there is no automated transitive credit to their individual ORCID accounts will be triggered.

Currently it is difficult at best for propective authors to assess prior to a publication whether software-references by DOI will be indexed by CrossRef, resulting in FAIR credit.

To mitigate this, incomplete lists are being compiled (below) of journals, for convenience of prospective authors, to assess wheter software-references will result in credit propagation to the software project and developer team.

* A greenlist collects journals and publications with confirmed software citations derived from CrossRef metadata.

* A whitelist compiles journals and publications with identical metadata practices to the greenlist, but where no DOI-based software citation has been confirmed yet.

* A greylist collects journals, where OSGeo-DOI have been used in publications, yet currently are not being indexed by CrossRef.

For scientific authors, the difference between a publication in a green-, whitelist or greylist journal is wether DOI-based references to OSGeo software, -data or -video will be automagically attributed ("due scientific credit") to the respective OSGeo community / persons. For greylist journals, such attribution needs to be compiled manually.

| Ariel Anthieni
| Argentina
| Ariel is an entrepreneur and a passionate advocate for the transformative potential of geospatial technologies as key enablers of sustainable development, particularly in emerging economies.

He has held key roles in numerous geospatial events, including chairing FOSS4G Argentina 2016 and organizing subsequent editions in 2017 and 2019, as well as SOTM Argentina 2017 and SOTM LATAM 2018. In 2018, Ariel co-founded the Geolibres Association, which supports geospatial communities in Argentina, and he currently serves as its President. As one of the main organizers of FOSS4G 2021 Buenos Aires and FOSS4G 2024 Belém, Ariel has played a pivotal role in expanding OSGeo’s integration with global regions.

Beyond organizing events, Ariel is an active speaker at international conferences such as FOSS4G Bucharest, Firenze, and Kosovo, where he focuses on bringing Open Source geospatial technologies closer to Spanish-speaking audiences. He also manages local OpenStreetMap (OSM) and QGIS chapters in Argentina and actively promotes open-source applications in areas such as cadastre, urban management, Smart Cities, and Digital Twins technology.

Ariel’s continued presence on the Board is essential for strengthening the connection between Latin American communities and the global ecosystem. He is deeply committed to fostering opportunities that drive the adoption of technologies to enhance regional integration. By challenging the prevailing belief that proprietary software is the only solution for specific needs, Ariel advocates for the inclusion of open-source alternatives as viable options supported by communities and businesses—an approach already widely adopted in other parts of the world.

| Michael Smith
| United States Of America
| ''Marco Bernasocchi says'':

Michael has done a fantastic job as treasurer and deserves recognition for his contributions. His diligent management of financial matters has been instrumental in maintaining the organization's stability and enabling its continued growth. I believe his expertise and commitment would be invaluable assets to the Board.

''Daniel Morissette says'':

Mike works for the US Army Corps of Engineers Remote Sensing GIS Center of Expertise and has been a long time power user, supporter and contributor of MapServer, GDAL/OGR, PDAL and other OSGeo projects. He is a member of the MapServer and PDAL project PSC's and was actually one of the instigators behind the PDAL project, the GDAL of Point Clouds.

Mike has been active on the OSGeo Board since 2014 as treasurer. The great job that he does behind the scene as treasurer doesn't get noticed publicly by the members, but it includes several tasks and responsibilities which are instrumental to keeping OSGeo running smoothly.

In addition to his experience within OSGeo projects and its community, he also brings to the board the perspective of government organizations, which is a very important group of users and contributors of OSGeo software. Plus, the voice of reason that he brings to the day to day operation of the board is also of great value.

All this makes him a perfect candidate to continue serving on the board.

== Howto information for GitHub Repo maintainers (source [https://help.zenodo.org/ Zenodo FAQ]) ==

=== My organizational repository does not show up on the GitHub list ===

''"In order to see and archive your organizational repositories on Zenodo you will need to have "Admin" permissions on said repository, either as an Admin of the organization or an Admin of one of your organization's repositories. Additionally, please make sure that the OAuth application on GitHub is granting permissions not only to your personal repositories but also to your organizational ones - to verify that go to your GitHub OAuth settings in your profile, and click on the Zenodo application to see more details. Make sure that Zenodo is given access (green tick) to your organization under "Organization access".

After that, navigate to your Zenodo GitHub settings page and click the "Sync now" button at the top."''

=== I made a GitHub release, but it does not show up on Zenodo. ===

''"Make sure the repository was enabled before the release was made, otherwise feel free to contact ZENODO."
''

=== Is it possible to archive a GitHub repository, before it was enabled on Zenodo? ===

''"Only the repositories which were enabled before a release was made will be archived automatically. If you want to archive some of your old releases, you can always download a release ZIP from GitHub and upload it to Zenodo using our web interface as a regular upload."''

=== How to change the default metadata for my GitHub releases? ===

''"You can include metadata in a .zenodo.json file at the root of your GitHub repository. This file's contents should be in line with the Zenodo deposit metadata schema and will be used to update the metadata from future GitHub releases. For more information on how to create a .zenodo.json file, you can have a look at our GitHub integration documenation."''

=== Do you support other software metadata files, like CITATION.cff or codemeta.json? ===

''"Part of our plans and ongoing work is to take into account or improve our integration of other software metadata schemas such as the Citation File Format (CFF) and CodeMeta. We are working closely with our users and scholarly software and citation communities to figure out exactly when, in what form, and how all these different metadata schemas and their files will be integrated into Zenodo."''

=== How does a CITATION.cff file affect the metadata of my GitHub release? ===

''"When we find a CITATION.cff file in your GitHub repository's root folder, we make a best-effort attempt at parsing Zenodo-compatible metadata from it.
For backwards-compatibility, if you have a .zenodo.json file in the repository, only the .zenodo.json's metadata will be taken into account. Of course, any existing valid CITATION.cff file will still be used to display the citation box on the GitHub repository page, but will not affect in any way the metadata we extract for your published release Zenodo record."''

=== Do you support versioning for already existing records? ===

''"Yes. However, for uploads published before the 30th of May 2017, you have to first upgrade your record to support versioning. This is done by clicking the “Upgrade to versioned record” button on the record page.

IMPORTANT If you have previously uploaded multiple versions of an upload as individual records on Zenodo, then DO NOT click the button to upgrade your record with versioning support. Please contact us so we can link the records under one versioning scheme.

Clicking the “Upgrade to versioned record” button on any of the records you would like to link, will irreversibly register them as individually-versioned records.

If you used the GitHub integration to archive your software on Zenodo, then we have already migrated and linked your records to support versioning."''

== DOI acknowledgement by Publishers and Journals ==

References in indexed scientific literature to research software, including the OSGeo software projects, can be counted as citations and due scientific credit for the persons developing and maintaining the research software).

The emerging best practice for software references is reference by DOI. Such a DOI reference can either refer to the software project as a whole (concept DOI), or a particular release of the codebase (version DOI).

Keeping track of DOI-based software citations can both be done manually or by automated analysis of metadata about the publication provided centrally by CrossRef or DataCite.

The prerequisite for automated analysis and reporting (as in FA'''''I'''''R: machine-actionable and interoperable) is the provision of a full references list for the publication as a complete set of metadata to CrossRef.

If only a limited subset of the reference list is provided to CrossRef, metadata-based automated analysis and reporting will return no result, meaning no information about the citation.

In such a case, despite the best intentions by the publication authors by using DOI-based software citations in their publication, because of the lack of metadata, automated reporting will return no result and there will be no due credit by citation to the software project.

This also affects the software developer team, as there will be no credit / recognition of their roles as (research-)software authors, because there is no automated transitive credit to their individual ORCID accounts will be triggered.

Currently it is difficult at best for propective authors to assess prior to a publication whether software-references by DOI will be indexed by CrossRef, resulting in FAIR credit.

To mitigate this, incomplete lists are being compiled (below) of journals, for convenience of prospective authors, to assess wheter software-references will result in credit propagation to the software project and developer team.

* A greenlist collects journals and publications with confirmed software citations derived from CrossRef metadata.

* A whitelist compiles journals and publications with indentical metadata practices to the greenlist, but where no DOI-based software citation has been confirmed yet.

* A greylist collects journals, where OSGeo-DOI have been used in publications, yet currently are not being indexed by CrossRef.

For scientific authors, the difference between a publication in a green-, whitelist or greylist journal is wether DOI-based references to OSGeo software, -data or -video will be automagically attributed ("due scientific credit") to the respective OSGeo community / persons. For greylist journals, such attribution needs to be compiled manually.

== Howto information for GitHub Repo maintainers (source [https://help.zenodo.org/ Zenodo FAQ]) ==

=== My organizational repository does not show up on the GitHub list ===

''"In order to see and archive your organizational repositories on Zenodo you will need to have "Admin" permissions on said repository, either as an Admin of the organization or an Admin of one of your organization's repositories. Additionally, please make sure that the OAuth application on GitHub is granting permissions not only to your personal repositories but also to your organizational ones - to verify that go to your GitHub OAuth settings in your profile, and click on the Zenodo application to see more details. Make sure that Zenodo is given access (green tick) to your organization under "Organization access".

After that, navigate to your Zenodo GitHub settings page and click the "Sync now" button at the top."''

=== I made a GitHub release, but it does not show up on Zenodo. ===

''"Make sure the repository was enabled before the release was made, otherwise feel free to contact ZENODO."
''

=== Is it possible to archive a GitHub repository, before it was enabled on Zenodo? ===

''"Only the repositories which were enabled before a release was made will be archived automatically. If you want to archive some of your old releases, you can always download a release ZIP from GitHub and upload it to Zenodo using our web interface as a regular upload."''

=== How to change the default metadata for my GitHub releases? ===

''"You can include metadata in a .zenodo.json file at the root of your GitHub repository. This file's contents should be in line with the Zenodo deposit metadata schema and will be used to update the metadata from future GitHub releases. For more information on how to create a .zenodo.json file, you can have a look at our GitHub integration documenation."''

=== Do you support other software metadata files, like CITATION.cff or codemeta.json? ===

''"Part of our plans and ongoing work is to take into account or improve our integration of other software metadata schemas such as the Citation File Format (CFF) and CodeMeta. We are working closely with our users and scholarly software and citation communities to figure out exactly when, in what form, and how all these different metadata schemas and their files will be integrated into Zenodo."''

=== How does a CITATION.cff file affect the metadata of my GitHub release? ===

''"When we find a CITATION.cff file in your GitHub repository's root folder, we make a best-effort attempt at parsing Zenodo-compatible metadata from it.
For backwards-compatibility, if you have a .zenodo.json file in the repository, only the .zenodo.json's metadata will be taken into account. Of course, any existing valid CITATION.cff file will still be used to display the citation box on the GitHub repository page, but will not affect in any way the metadata we extract for your published release Zenodo record."''

=== Do you support versioning for already existing records? ===

''"Yes. However, for uploads published before the 30th of May 2017, you have to first upgrade your record to support versioning. This is done by clicking the “Upgrade to versioned record” button on the record page.

IMPORTANT If you have previously uploaded multiple versions of an upload as individual records on Zenodo, then DO NOT click the button to upgrade your record with versioning support. Please contact us so we can link the records under one versioning scheme.

Clicking the “Upgrade to versioned record” button on any of the records you would like to link, will irreversibly register them as individually-versioned records.

If you used the GitHub integration to archive your software on Zenodo, then we have already migrated and linked your records to support versioning."''

== DOI acknowledgement by Publishers and Journals ==

References in indexed scientific literature to research software, including the OSGeo software projects, can be counted as citations and due scientific credit for the persons developing and maintaining the research software).

The emerging best practice for software references is reference by DOI. Such a DOI reference can either refer to the software project as a whole (concept DOI), or a particular release of the codebase (version DOI).

Keeping track of DOI-based software citations can both be done manually or by automated analysis of metadata about the publication provided centrally by CrossRef or DataCite.

The prerequisite for automated analysis and reporting (as in FA'''''I'''''R: machine-actionable and interoperable) is the provision of a full references list for the publication as a complete set of metadata to CrossRef.

If only a limited subset of the reference list is provided to CrossRef, metadata-based automated analysis and reporting will return no result, meaning no information about the citation.

In such a case, despite the best intentions by the publication authors by using DOI-based software citations in their publication, because of the lack of metadata, automated reporting will return no result and there will be no due credit by citation to the software project.

This also affects the software developer team, as there will be no credit / recognition of their roles as (research-)software authors, because there is no automated transitive credit to their individual ORCID accounts will be triggered.

Currently it is difficult at best for propective authors to assess prior to a publication whether software-references by DOI will be indexed by CrossRef, resulting in FAIR credit.

To mitigate this, incomplete lists are being compiled (below) of journals, for convenience of prospective authors, to assess wheter software-references will result in credit propagation to the software project and developer team.

* A greenlist collects journals and publications with confirmed software citations derived from CrossRef metadata.

* A whitelist compiles journals and publications with indentical metadata practices to the greenlist, but where no DOI-based software citation has been confirmed yet.

* A greylist collects journals, where OSGeo-DOI have been used in publications, yet currently are not being indexed by CrossRef.

For scientific authors, the difference between a publication in a green-, whitelist or greylist journal is wether DOI-based references to OSGeo software, -data or -video will be automagically attributed ("due scientific credit") to the respective OSGeo community / persons. For greylist journals, such attribution needs to be compiled manually.
