FOSS4G Handbook

2017-01-30T13:04:40Z

Wiki-Bastian: /* TiB */

This FOSS4G Handbook aims to provide guidance to future FOSS4G and FOSS4G related events, based upon the collective wisdom gained during prior events. It is a continuous work in progress and is a '''guide''' rather than a '''rulebook'''. Feel free to modify any aspect. If in doubt, ask the community what they think. This event is designed for the OSGeo community. We encourage all FOSS4G organizers to contribute to and enhance this Handbook.

= About FOSS4G =
Free and Open Source for Geospatial (FOSS4G) conferences refer to a series of events which provides presentations, workshops, and networking opportunities based around Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial.

FOSS4G includes one annual global event which rotates around the world, as well as a number of regional events which follow similar principles.

= Editing this document =

This FOSS4G Handbook aims to be concise, so that it is easy to read and follow. We also aim to collaboratively edit and continuously build this document based upon our collective experience running conferences. As such, we will need to continuously update and delete old text as new ideas come to hand.

The process to follow in updating this wiki is:
* Feel free to make trivial tweaks to grammar and syntax.
* If you would like to introduce a new idea, maybe add a new section, or improve an old section:
** Raise your suggestion on the [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/conference_dev OSGeo Conference] email list.
** Once a rough consensus has been reached on the list, you may then update the Handbook with the collective wisdom of the list.
** If writing a new section, consider starting the section with: Draft, awaiting review
** After updating your text, notify the list again to give others the opportunity to review and tweak.

= Section Writing Guide =
Draft, awaiting review

The first sentence(s) of a section should describe the meaning of the heading. Eg, if this section is on "Birds of a Feather", then the first sentence should start with: ''Birds of a Feather sessions refer to semi-formal gatherings of like minded delegates to discuss a topic of interest.''

=Preparing FOSS4G RFP=
Draft, awaiting review

Selection of the international FOSS4G venue, involves two stages, a "Letter of Intent" (LOI) followed by a full "Request for Proposal" (RFQ). Only cities which attract two or more committee member votes from the LOI move onto the RFQ.

; Relevance:

The process for preparing an RFP for the annual FOSS4G is:
* Copy the previous year's FOSS4G RFP directory to the next year, as per: http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/foss4g/rfp/
* Choose a set of dates for submission deadlines and review periods and very very carefully go through the document making sure they are all reflected in the right places.
* Get in touch with the conference_dev and teams from previous year or two and get their feedback on the process for RFP changes
* Do a quick search of the conference_dev archives and see if there's other RFP process / info concerns to be addressed (like Board Face ot Face Meeting, OSGeo Annual Gathering, other requirements that are assumed but not articulated)
* Update doc appropriately
* Stub out Wiki pages using the skeletons from previous years and the dates you already put into the doc
* Get someone to review your changes
* Announce

== Press Releases ==
Draft, awaiting review

You should send out public announcements about your conference, especially around conference milestones.

; Relevance:
: International FOSS4G: Required
: Regional FOSS4G: Recommended
: FOSS4G stream / Local Event: Recommended

Make regular use the OSGeo News feed:
* initial announcement
* Call for Papers
* Start of registration, end of early booking approaching
* Program published
* etc.

Publish an official press release for the initial announcement of the conference and when the program is stable and published. Coordinate this with high level sponsors i.e. let them know when it will happen so that they can react accordingly! Get a quote form the highest available sponsor.

You will likely want to collaboratively edit press releases in a wiki page. The wiki then becomes an archive which can be handed down to future events.

Work out where you will send your announcements. It should include:
* You should submit to [http://www.osgeo.org/content/news/submit_news.html OSGeo Announcements] for inclusion on the OSGeo web site
* [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss OSGeo Discuss]

==FOSS4G Branding==
Draft, awaiting review

FOSS4G is the acronym used to describe events which are predominantly about "Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial".

; Relevance:
: International FOSS4G: [Mandatory]
: Regional FOSS4G: [Mandatory]
: FOSS4G stream / Local Event: [Mandatory]

FOSS4G is not registered as a trademark but has a long tradition of being used in the context of Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial. The domain was [[FOSS4G#History_of_the_Acronym|originally]] registered by Venkatesh Raghavan (Venka) who later graciously donated it to OSGeo - under the condition that using the name should stay open to anybody who does something reasonably related to Free and Open Source Geospatial.

A FOSS4G event can be the main international FOSS4G conference, as well as a regional event such as FOSS4G-North America. It can also be a local FOSS4G seminar drawing from one city, a FOSS4G stream in a bigger conference, a workshop or a code sprint. The number of participants can vary from ten people (code sprint) up to 1000+ people (global FOSS4G).

Use of the name "FOSS4G" is managed by the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Conference_Committee OSGeo Conference Committee]. As a courtesy, events which wish to make use of the "FOSS4G" name should request permission to do so from the conference committee. Permission will be granted if the event being described is predominantly (say >90%) about Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial and promotes OSGeo.

==OSGeo Branding==
Draft, awaiting review

FOSS4G events should suitably acknowledge the OSGeo foundation in promotion material.
This would typically include:
* the OSGeo logo being included on the website with words similar to "presented by OSGeo" and a link back to the OSGeo web site.
* presentation(s) by organisers (and others) should reference OSGeo

For larger events e.g. the annual international event and any event receiving OSGeo financial assistance, there should be an OSGeo booth of reasonable size and prominence provided at no charge to the foundation

=City and Date Selection=

== International FOSS4G Rotation ==
The International FOSS4G event rotates around the world, and cities compete to be selected to host the event, as described in the RFP process.

; Relevance:
: International FOSS4G: Mandatory
: Regional FOSS4G: Not Relevant
: FOSS4G stream / Local Event: Not Relevant

The regions FOSS4G rotates through are:
* Europe
* North America
* Rest of world
This is caveatted by the OSGeo Conference committee feeling confident that the proposed city/region will attract the majority of the international FOSS4G audience.

So our rotation policy is:

# Strong preference is given to the region which hasn't had FOSS4G for 2 years
# We next consider the region which had FOSS4G 2 years ago
# Only as a last resort would we consider a region which had FOSS4G last year

Prior International FOSS4G event locations have been:

==Regional and Local FOSS4G selection==

Location and date selection of FOSS4G regional and local events should be coordinated with other FOSS4G events.

Regional and Local FOSS4G events are encouraged
; Relevance:
: International FOSS4G: Not Relevant
: Regional FOSS4G: Recommended
: FOSS4G stream / Local Event: Recommended

There is a tension between supplying sufficient FOSS4G related conferences to meet demand, verses over-supply as multiple conferences potentially compete for the same speakers, sponsors and delegates. FOSS4G History, starting from around 2012 has demonstrated that there is sufficient demand to support both an international conference, as well as multiple regional conferences in the same year. This is in keeping with review of [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Al9zh8DjmU_RdEZoOUtSeVZRVWtKQzV6R2N5ekdSdlE#gid=57 FOSS4G attendee profiles], which show over half of FOSS4G attendees tend to be drawn from the local region.
As such, OSGeo is supportive of multiple FOSS4G events being run in a year. However, OSGeo recommends scheduling FOSS4G events such that they don't overlap, and such that there is limited direct competition within regions between events.

Coordination between FOSS4G events is provided via the [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/conference_dev OSGeo Conference email list]. All FOSS4G Conference Organising Committees should:
* Have at least one representative subscribe the the conference_dev email list.
* Announce intent of running a FOSS4G conference on the email list, including brief description of proposed event, proposed date(s), location, language, request to use FOSS4G name (if relevant).
* Network with others within the region. Discuss options of merging potential FOSS4G events and/or ensuring dates and locations don't conflict.
* Once location and date have been selected, list the event at http://www.osgeo.org/events.
* Also list at [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_History OSGeo-Live History] if making use of [http://live.osgeo.org OSGeo-Live] DVDs and/or presentation, to ensure DVDs are ready for your conference, and describe breadth of reach of OSGeo-Live to contributors and sponsors.

==Guarantees==
Draft, awaiting review

The OSGeo foundation can be approached to provide financial guarantees for major FOSS4G events.

; Relevance:
: International FOSS4G: Recommended
: Regional FOSS4G: Optional
: FOSS4G stream / Local Event: Not Relevant

As per our board priorities:

Conferences are financially risky events. They need to be planned well in advance, and you are never sure how many people will turn up, or whether some global event will have a substantial impact on registrations. Consequently, conferences such as FOSS4G require financial advances up front in order to secure a venue and possibly a guarantee to underwrite potential losses or liabilities additional to the advance.

To support and enable these conferences, OSGeo will endevour to retain sufficient capital to offer such guarantees for any FOSS4G event requesting it. August 2015: The Board has been requested to determine the the extent of reserves that it will set aside for this purpose, could be a % or a minimum absolute some or some other formula.

If OSGeo's support is requested, then OSGeo would require a legal body, such as the Local Organising Committee (LOC), or Professional Conference Organisor (PCO), or similar, to enter into an agreement with OSGeo that commits both parties. Cameron Shorter: Noted that legal body need not be the LOC. For FOSS4G 2009, OSGeo signed a contract directly with the PCO.

What follows is a draft set of conditions suggested by [[User:Stevenfeldman | Steven Feldman]] for further comment:

#Any FOSS4G seeking OSGeo’s financial backing should provide a financial plan, which includes:
## Initial advance(s) required and timing
## Potential loss through cancellation at different stages
## Potential loss if conference goes ahead but attendance is less than target
## Cameron Shorter added: Financial reporting schedule, noting how often reports will be provided, and by who (typically by a PCO).
## Cameron Shorter added: Mitigation actions which will be initiated should financial targets not be reached. Eg: If we have not received $XXX funds by YYY date, we will cancel the conference, which will result in loosing $ZZZ.
#OSGeo will confirm the maximum level that it will underwrite
#OSGeo will need to set aside a reserve to cover the maximum underwritten losses of all FOSS4G events that it is supporting. This will probably limit OSGeo's ability to underwrite multiple events and may require the Conference Committee to select between competing regional events if there are several applications
#The Conference Committee will require a member to join the LOC with financial oversight of expenditure, forecasts and risks. This relies on Conference Committee members volunteering for a very high level of effort joining a LOC and keeping close track of finances and the volume of email. [[User:EliL | - Eli Adam]] 
#The Conference Committee will need to continuously review financial risk and may require changes to the financial and operational plans of an event. Likewise requires the Conference Committee to be very engaged and deeply aware of the details of potentially two or more conferences. [[User:EliL | - Eli Adam]] 
#The LOC recognises and understands that OSGeo will not accept unlimited financial liability for their event, any losses exceeding the maximum level underwritten will need to be borne by the LOC or insured locally.
#The LOC agrees to remit xx% of any surplus to OSGeo to support future events and other OSGeo activities (I would suggest at least 85% but no doubt this could be a subject for discussion across the community but it should be standard for all events)
#OSGeo will need to draft a legal agreement with the LOC that sets out these terms

=Metrics=
Draft, awaiting review

Past FOSS4G metrics are very valuable for planning future FOSS4G events, and should be collected for all events.

; Relevance:
: International FOSS4G: Mandatory
: Regional FOSS4G: Recommended
: FOSS4G stream / Local Event: Optional

Key questions that we wish to ask of our metrics:
# How many people are likely to come from a future FOSS4G event in region X?

# In lead up, when do sponsors sign up?
# Schedule and workshop planners wish to understand the technical expertise of participants. What is the percentage of OSGeo newbies (requiring "Introduction to ..." presentation/workshop).
# Schedule and workshop planners wish to understand which presenters and topics were popular.
# When considering whether to sponsor, and how to target spsonsorship messages, FOSS4G sponsors wish to understand the makeup of FOSS4G attendees. In particular, are attendees likely to influence decisions to purchase future software systems.
# How much sponsorship should we expect? Where in the world did previous sponsors come from?
# What is the most effective way to market FOSS4G? How did people hear about FOSS4G?

Key metrics we wish to collect from attendees:

=OSGeo Branding=
Draft, awaiting review

FOSS4G conferences are expected to promote the OSGeo Foundation at events.

; Relevance:
: International FOSS4G: Mandatory
: Regional FOSS4G: Recommeded
: FOSS4G stream / Local Event: Recommended

There is a symbiotic relationship between the OSGeo Foundation, OSGeo projects and FOSS4G conferences around branding. The Foundation and projects maintain valuable promotional material for FOSS4G conferences, and in return the FOSS4G conferences provides a valuable marketing pipeline.

The extent and nature of OSGeo promotion is dependent upon the size and nature of the event, and availability of volunteers to support the promotional activities. Activities which should be considered are:

* Include a presentation on an OSGeo topic, often as a keynote. You can find good local presenters at [[OSGeo_Advocate]].
* Provide a free OSGeo booth or stand. Refer to your OSGeo Local Chapter and/or [[OSGeo_Advocate]] list to source volunteer(s) to man the stand. Local Chapters can approach the OSGeo Marketing committee for an [[Exhibition_Pack]].
* Include an OSGeo logo included in the program and on the conference website.
* Make use of OSGeo-Live, either handing out a USB or DVD to delegates, using OSGeo-Live Virtual Machine in workshops, making use of the OSGeo-Live presentation, displaying the OSGeo-Live Poster. Options listed here: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#Including_OSGeo-Live_at_your_event

; See Also:
:* [[OSGeo_Advocate]]
:* http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#Including_OSGeo-Live_at_your_event
:* [[Exhibition_Pack]]

=Time Frame=

=Program=

Previous global FOSS4G conferences have had a program similar to the following (regional and local events typically have a similar structure, reduced to match the size of the audience):
* One to two days of workshops. Workshops are generally 3.5 hour instructional sessions, in a computer lab setting. Workshop instructors provide software, data, and materials in exchange for free conference admission. Attended by 200 to 300 people, depending on facilities.
* An “ice breaker” event on the evening before the first day. Usually held in a large bar or restaurant, but could be in any venue that allowed for easy mixing and mingling.
* Three days of Main Conference
** Opening and closing plenary sessions with all attendees at the start and end. Sometimes additional plenary sessions at the start and/or end of conference days.
** Approximately five parallel tracks of presentations, with each presentation consisting of a 20-25 minute talk, 5 minutes of Q&A, and 5 minutes of transition time between talks. Attended by 500-900 people, depending on conference attendance.
** Make the schedule simple. It is far easier to have the lunch break from 12:30 to 14:00 than from 12:20 to 13.50. Try to schedule in no less than half hour slots.
** A “banquet” event on the evening of the second day. Usually held in a “showcase” venue, examples have included: art museum, castle, harbor cruise, cultural restaurant. This '''does not have to be''' a "Gala Dinner" but can be quite informal.
** [Global FOSS4G only] The Sol Katz Award, presented during the closing plenary session. The award is selected and presented by the Sol Katz committee, the conference organizers need only include 15 minutes in the closing plenary schedule for the presentation.
** The OSGeo Annual General Meeting. Interested OSGeo members hear from local chapters, the board, and other speakers on the state of OSGeo. It is up to the Local Committee how to place and organize this (maybe exchange ideas with the [[Board of Directors]]). This could be made into one of the most central events of the conference. So far it was usually places at either end of the conference and up to 200 people showed up.
** Birds of a Feather Sessions. Held after the days presentations, groups self-organize to discuss topics of common interest.
** A lunch time allocated for poster creators to stand next to their posters and talk about them.
* OSGeo Directors Face-to-Face Meeting. Held before or after the conference, in a board room or meeting room provided by the conference organizers.

== Workshops ==

Draft, awaiting review

Workshops are an valuable component of every FOSS4G conference. They require a lot of preparation for both presenters and conference organizers! As such, be sure to have a dedicated team manage everything around workshops.

Workshops are generally 3.5 hour instructional sessions, in a computer lab setting. Workshop instructors provide software, data, and materials in exchange for free conference admission. Attended by 200 to 300 people, depending on facilities.

; Workshop Call for Proposal
The Call for Proposal can be aligned with the regular presentation Call for Papers (see below).

; Workshop Selection
The workshops selection starts with a Call for Proposal. Anybody can submit a workshop proposal. The selection follows a few clear rules:
* Graduated OSGeo projects get precedence over incubating projects over others.
* Each graduated OSGeo project will receive one slot provided there are enough in total. If not first come first serve.
** Graduated OSGeo projects have to submit a workshop proposal just like anybody else.
** The Local Organizing Committee can decide to not accept a workshop but has to provide valid reasons to the submitting party. This should not be done on public mailing lists. In case of bitter resentment include the board of directors.
** If a graduated project does not convincingly confirm their participation slots are filled up by other active projects.
** Workshop leader/s have to register until x weeks before the conference.
* Individuals and organizations are encouraged to collaborate on joint workshops.
* Ideally a few slots should be reserved for workshops that may be not tech related for example for the Education and Data committees.

Final adjudication lies with the LOC!!!

=== Workshop Venue ===
The workshop venue requires careful planning! The computer lab systems need to be able to boot from USB. Internet connectivity is a must, both broad and fast. Ports need to be open, besides regular HTTP and HTTPS especially SSH but also "strange" manually configured ports. In general this should not pose a threat to the surrounding network or hardware because we boot from a self contained environment. All the same this must be communicated to the system admins of the host systems so that they are comfortable.

=== Software Environment ===
It is recommended to prepare USB memory sticks with the most recent OSGeo Live Environment. Ideally everything should already equipped with workshop specific software and data. This requires some pushing and nudging of the workshop teacher who may in some cases be very hard to get.

== Presentations ==
Presentations are the heart and soul of the conference and form a large part of the attractiveness. A lot of time and energy will go into making a good program. There are at least as many opinions on how a program should look like as there are people in the community. There is no silver bullet that will solve every problem and insure that everybody will be happy. Therefore it is good practice to make the Program Committee have the last say.

=== Call for Papers ===
The Call for Papers typically starts x months before the conference and runs for x weeks. The exact dates depend on local conditions, time of the years, size of the program committee and so on. It should be as late as possible to allow up-to-date information. The program should be published as soon as possible to attract local attendees who will only come if the program is attractive.

The LOC has to expect that more than half of the submissions are submitted within last two days of the CfP and that up to 30% are submitted with '''the last hours''' of the call. Relax, there have always been enough submission. Still, many conferences extend the CfP. If the LOC does '''not''' plan to extend the CfP it should be very vocal about this.

=== Submission of papers ===
Abstracts for talks are usually submitted via an online system. This can be based on the system developed over the past years by OSGeo community members or something new, this is entirely up to the LOC. Successful submission of an abstract should be acknowledged, preferably automatically.

=== Strategic Talks ===
The Program Committee should make sure that the program is balanced and that specific topics are not left out. One topic that is easily forgotten is a general introduction to Open Source development, licensing and associated business models. Both the actively voting community and the program committee members are usually deeply involved with Open Source and want to learn about the "bleeding edge" and are bored by annually recurring talks about things well known. But the FOSS4G conference also attracts a large group of "Open Source Newbies" who have no or very little understanding of the Open Source geospatial environment and ecosystem.

Other topics of strategic interest may be geared towards the specific region, remember that typically more than 50% of the attendees come from region where the conference takes place.

=== Selection and Evaluation of the Presentations ===
'''WARNING: ''' ''The selection process has lead to some unhappiness in the community in past iterations of the conference. The most important take away from related discussions appears to be that the process has to be communicated openly. Having said that it has always been OSGeo policy to give the Local Organizing Committee the final say and fully support its decisions. ''

==== Step 1: Community Voting ====
The selection process has '''so far''' been to allow the community (that is anybody) a chance to read the abstracts and make a positive vote:
* 0 = no interest
* 1 = medium interest
* 2 = high interest

==== Step 2: Program Committee Voting ====
After community voting the Program Committee goes through the list and checks for duplicates, both in content and also to make sure that presenter / submitting organization are not over represented, skewed. Presentation which miss the point of the conference (for example not related to Free and Open Source and Geo) are usually filtered out reliably. Then the Program Committee votes on

==== Step 3: Program Compilation ====
One topic that is easily forgotten is a general introduction to Open Source development, licensing and associated business models (see also "Strategic Talks"). Another topic that might be underrepresented if it is only compiled by involved experts are Use Cases with Open Source. In general the program should cater for the following areas of interest:
# Introduction to Open source and the OSGeo Foundation
# Business models and the "way of Open Source"
# Tech talks
# Use cases

===Classification of Papers in Sessions===
===Details about Speakers and Publication of the Program===

== Academic Track ==
[[FOSS4G Notes on Academic Track]]
==Community Sessions==
==Birds of a Feather Sessions (BoF)==
==Posters==
==Conference Opening==
== Keynotes ==
Keynotes are selected by the LOC and Program Committee at their own discretion. Typically one keynote is given by a high ranking OSGeo officer, for example the president or a board representative and reflects on OSGeo, addresses the community and invites Newbies to join the party.

== Closing Session ==
It is a good habit to have a drawing with prizes (often donated by sponsors) at the end of the conference. It is also a good habit to have a prominent speaker or well known guest close the conference with a keynote. Both will help to have a captivate and keep attendees until the end of the event.

=== Drawing ===
Feedback from attendees is invaluable. Therefore the conference package should include a feedback form (potentially also as an online version?). Returned feedback forms participate in the drawing and can win a prize at the end of the conference.

== OSGeo-Live ==
* [http://live.osgeo.org OSGeo Live]
* The OSGeo-Live team that provides an image of a collection of over 50 software projects and data and tutorials every 6 months
* The OSGeo-live team prepares a version before FOSS4G that can be used at the conference in the workshops, at presentation notebooks & and can be given away to the delegates as bootable USB drives. This is a great opportunity to spread OSGeo software and promote OSGeo!
* The OSGeo-Live team adds OSM data from the region where FOSS4G takes place (e.g. data from Bonn was added in 2016)
* The OSGeo-live team can add your FOSS4G-Logo or material on the image
* The OSGeo-Live team will help you with USB and image - please contact them on the mailing list
* Get information about the OSGeo-Live team [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc here]
* Workshops with OSGeo-Live: trainer can refer to Workshop material [[https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/wiki/Live_GIS_Workshop_Install here]] (there is a link on the desktop of OSGeo-Live which will open the url)

==Location, Directions==
==Hotels==
==Other local information==
== Internet Access ==
Most venues do not have enough bandwidth or access points, so consider paying for extra if you can and start early in working with the venue! It can take a lot of planning simply to upgrade the access at the site, even after convincing the venue of the requirements. Be aware that conference venues may be used to large events, but may not realize that "tech-events" have a much larger bandwidth requirement per delegate than other conferences. Delegates are likely to have more than one device, may require non-default ports to be opened (for committing code and so on) and may wish to download large files such as new software during the event.

=== Ports ===
All ports should be open. This includes the lower levels for SSH, FTP, etc. but also "odd" ports like 6667 and neighboring for IRC, etc.
* FTP (20 and 21)
* SSH (22)
* TELNET (23)
* SMTP (25)
* IMAP (143, 456, 465, 587, 993, ++)
* SSL (443) and HTTP (80)
* TCP ports 6660–6669, 7000

You may need to work quite hard to convince the conference venue of your requirements, but success or failure with connectivity can make or break an event. Past FOSS4G Local Teams suggested a penalty clause in the contract in the case of WiFi underperformance and an action plan to agree the provision. Apparently this was then never done but it may be an idea to make sure that things work.

==How to do your screencast==
please add your suggestions on how you did your screencast.
Please try to use and suggest Free Software.

===Linux===
* Easist way: [http://recordmydesktop.sourceforge.net/ recordmydesktop] (on Mandriva, install with 'urpmi gtk-recordmydesktop')
* [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/openweekfeisty/screencast Ubuntu discussion over screencast]

===Mac===
* [http://crschmidt.net/blog/archives/203/openlayers-screencast/ Chris Schmidt experience on Os X]

===Windows===
* [http://www.menasoft.com/blog/?p=30 Taksi - Desktop Screenshot, Video Capture/Recorder] - worked well for capturing OpenGL output (I used it to record from [http://vterrain.org/Doc/Enviro/overview.html VTerrain's Enviro viewer])

==Where to publish your screencast==

Actually main free video hosting are using a strong dowsampling that does not allow a good video quality to present screencast.

Then you'll need to find your own web hosting or a free one that can host just the video without resampling.

===Hosting Portals===

There are specialized hosting services for tutorials:

* [http://www.learn2use.de/index.php Learn2Use] (German)

===Suggestions===
* What about distribution the videos with a bittorrent-style distribution? Maybe OSGeo could provide the infrastructure for this?

=== German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB) ===
FOSS4G cooperates with the German National Library of Science and Technology ([https://www.tib.eu/ TIB]). TIB is one of the world’s largest specialised libraries for science and technology. It is publicly funded and has no commercial interest. TIB provides a scientific open access video portal ([https://av.tib.eu AV-Portal]), where recordings from OSGeo conferences (in English and German) can be stored, long term preserved and made citable using persistent digital object identifers (DOI). TIB provides this services free of charge for OSGeo. If you wish to publish your video in the AV Portal, you have different options to do so:

'''How does TIB get the videofiles?'''

*Register via the respective tab on the AV Portal.
*Log in by using your customer name and password.
*Use the tab "Upload" and fill out the upload form.
*Specify the publisher as „FOSS4G“ and title of series as „FOSS4G +year”

2. Large data transmissions via an FTP server:
(to obtain the FTP access data, please contact KNM@tib.eu)

3. Videos from a webserver via wget:
You can provide TIB with a file with all wget requests to load the mp4 files to their server.

For example wget_foss4g2016.sh:

wget http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/misc/openstreetmap/FOSS4G-2016/foss4g-2016-1047-provide_applications_with_geoportal_framework_mapbender3-hd.mp4

Astrid can give you a php script to create this file.

'''Requirements by TIB (if you do not use the upload form)'''

The video file in mp4 and the metadatafile in xml. The name of the video file and the metadata file must be identical, so that they can be matched automatically. For example:
*name of the video file: Prof_Mueller_LA_2016.mp4
*name of the XML-file: Prof_Mueller_LA_2016.xml

'''How to generate the metadata files'''
*for every mp4 file we have to upload (on an ftp server) a metadata file
*the metadata file has the same name as the mp4 file with ending xml
*the xml-files can be generated by the schedule.jspn file from frab (http://frab.fossgis-konferenz.de/en/foss4g-2016/public/schedule.json)
*Astrid (astrid_emde@osgeo.org) can give you a script to generate the file for each mp4 file
*for example see: https://git.osgeo.org/gogs/astrid_emde/video.foss4g.org/src/master/foss4g2016/example

'''What licence to use'''

Example 1: For the international community we recommend:

[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Creative Commons BY 4.0 International ]

Example 2: If the video is published in Germany and/or addresses the German community we recommend:

[https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/de/deed.en Creative Commons BY 3.0 Germany]

==Where to publish your screencast==

Actually main free video hosting are using a strong dowsampling that does not allow a good video quality to present screencast.

Then you'll need to find your own web hosting or a free one that can host just the video without resampling.

===Hosting Portals===

There are specialized hosting services for tutorials:

* [http://www.learn2use.de/index.php Learn2Use] (German)

===Suggestions===
* What about distribution the videos with a bittorrent-style distribution? Maybe OSGeo could provide the infrastructure for this?

=== German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB) ===
FOSS4G cooperates with the German National Library of Science and Technology ([https://www.tib.eu/ TIB]). TIB is one of the world’s largest specialised libraries for science and technology. It is publicly funded and has no commercial interest. TIB provides a scientific open access video portal ([https://av.tib.eu AV-Portal]), where recordings from OSGeo conferences (in English and German) can be stored, long term preserved and made citable using persistent digital object identifers (DOI). TIB provides this services free of charge for OSGeo. If you wish to publish your video in the AV Portal, you have different options to do so:

'''How does TIB get the videofiles?'''

1. Single videos via the TIB AV-Portal upload form:
If you wish to upload a video, please [https://av.tib.eu/registration register] in the AV Portal and follow the instructions. The upload form helps you to insert the metadata to describe the video.
Registration and upload steps:

a. Register via the respective tab on the AV Portal.

b. Log in by using your customer name and password.

c. Use the tab "Upload" and fill out the upload form.

d. Specify the publisher as „FOSS4G“ and title of series as „FOSS4G +year”

===Suggestions===
* What about distribution the videos with a bittorrent-style distribution? Maybe OSGeo could provide the infrastructure for this?

=== TiB ===
* TIB AV-Portal - Technical Information Library located in Hannover (Germany)
* TIB AV-Portal provides access to high grade scientific films from the fields of engineering, architecture, chemistry, computer science, mathematics and physics.
* FOSS4G and FOSSGIS conferences are published here
* [[Peter_Loewe_Videoquotes | Peter Löwe]] works at TiB
* https://av.tib.eu
* Example Search for FOSS4G https://av.tib.eu/search?198&q=FOSS4G

==== Process to publish the videos from a conference at TiB ====
* he videas are needed as mp4
* it takes some weeks till the videos are published by TiB. This is why you have to publish the videos on a public server before and pass them to TiB afterwards

==== Contact persons at TiB ====
* Peter Löwe
* Tolga Karaarslan

==== Contact persons at OSGeo ====
Some people worked together with TiB already ([User:Astrid Emde | Astrid Emde]) You are welcome to aks for information.

==== What TiB needs ====
* video file in mp4 (example foss4g-2016-1047-provide_applications_with_geoportal_framework_mapbender3-hd.mp4)
* metadatafile (example foss4g-2016-1047-provide_applications_with_geoportal_framework_mapbender3-hd.xml)
* for example see: https://git.osgeo.org/gogs/astrid_emde/video.foss4g.org/src/master/foss4g2016/example

==== How TiB gets the videofiles? ====
You can give Tib a file with all wget requests to load the mp4 files to their server.

For example wget_foss4g2016.sh:

wget http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/misc/openstreetmap/FOSS4G-2016/foss4g-2016-1047-provide_applications_with_geoportal_framework_mapbender3-hd.mp4

Astrid can give you a php script to create this file.

==== How to generate the metadata files ====
* for every mp4 file we have to upload (on an ftp server) a metadata file
* the metadata file has the same name as the mp4 file with ending xml
* this file can look like see https://git.osgeo.org/gogs/astrid_emde/video.foss4g.org/src/master/foss4g2016/example
* the xml-files can be generated by the schedule.json file from frab (http://frab.fossgis-konferenz.de/en/foss4g-2016/public/schedule.json)
* Astrid can give you a script to generate the file for each mp4 file

== GIS- and Geo-related Podcasts ==

Some suggestions from the hivemind (note these are not necessarily open source specific):

* Directions Magazine http://www.directionsmag.com/ offers regular podcasts. They occasionally have open source related content by Adena Schutzberg (Directions staff) and others.

* http://www.opengeodata.org/?cat=13

* http://hobu.biz/category/podcast/ (note: links seem to be dead as of 15 Jan '08)

* IT Conversations has a lot of good content, http://itc.conversationsnetwork.org/index.html

== OSGeo-related videos preserved at the German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB) ==
The German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB) ‒ Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology is a central specialised library, it is a national infrastructure facility for the provision of scientific information. TIB is actively collecting videos from past, current and upcoming OSGeo conferences and similar events.

All videos preserved by TIB receive a digital object identifier (DOI) to make them directly citable in scientific publications and wikis and blogs. [[Peter_Loewe_Videoquotes|Details on such video quotes]]

==How to do your screencast==
please add your suggestions on how you did your screencast.
Please try to use and suggest Free Software.

===Linux===
* Easist way: [http://recordmydesktop.sourceforge.net/ recordmydesktop] (on Mandriva, install with 'urpmi gtk-recordmydesktop')
* [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/openweekfeisty/screencast Ubuntu discussion over screencast]
* [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam/RecordingScreencasts Ubuntu screencast how to]
* [http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/vnc2swf/ vnc2swf] to record a flash movie ([http://www-pool.math.tu-berlin.de/~soeren/grass/modules/screenshots/vnc2swf_usage.html short vnc2swf usage tutorial])

===Mac===
* [http://crschmidt.net/blog/archives/203/openlayers-screencast/ Chris Schmidt experience on Os X]

===Windows===
* [http://www.menasoft.com/blog/?p=30 Taksi - Desktop Screenshot, Video Capture/Recorder] - worked well for capturing OpenGL output (I used it to record from [http://vterrain.org/Doc/Enviro/overview.html VTerrain's Enviro viewer])

==Where to publish your screencast==

Actually main free video hosting are using a strong dowsampling that does not allow a good video quality to present screencast.

Then you'll need to find your own web hosting or a free one that can host just the video without resampling.

===Hosting Portals===

There are specialized hosting services for tutorials:

* [http://www.learn2use.de/index.php Learn2Use] (German)

===Suggestions===
* What about distribution the videos with a bittorrent-style distribution? Maybe OSGeo could provide the infrastructure for this?

=== TiB ===
* TIB AV-Portal - Technical Information Library located in Hannover (Germany)
* TIB AV-Portal provides access to high grade scientific films from the fields of engineering, architecture, chemistry, computer science, mathematics and physics.
* FOSS4G and FOSSGIS conferences are published here
* [[Peter_Loewe_Videoquotes | Peter Löwe]] works at TiB
* https://av.tib.eu
* Example Search for FOSS4G https://av.tib.eu/search?198&q=FOSS4G

==== Process to publish the videos from a conference at TiB ====
* he videas are needed as mp4
* it takes some weeks till the videos are published by TiB. This is why you have to publish the videos on a public server before and pass them to TiB afterwards

==== Contact persons at TiB ====
* Peter Löwe
* Tolga Karaarslan

==== Contact persons at OSGeo ====
Some people worked together with TiB already ([User:Astrid Emde | Astrid Emde]) You are welcome to aks for information.

==== What TiB needs ====
* video file in mp4 (example foss4g-2016-1047-provide_applications_with_geoportal_framework_mapbender3-hd.mp4)
* metadatafile (example foss4g-2016-1047-provide_applications_with_geoportal_framework_mapbender3-hd.xml)
* for example see: https://git.osgeo.org/gogs/astrid_emde/video.foss4g.org/src/master/foss4g2016/example

==== How TiB gets the videofiles? ====
You can give Tib a file with all wget requests to load the mp4 files to their server.

For example wget_foss4g2016.sh:

wget http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/misc/openstreetmap/FOSS4G-2016/foss4g-2016-1047-provide_applications_with_geoportal_framework_mapbender3-hd.mp4

Astrid can give you a php script to create this file.

==== How to generate the metadata files ====
* for every mp4 file we have to upload (on an ftp server) a metadata file
* the metadata file has the same name as the mp4 file with ending xml
* this file can look like see https://git.osgeo.org/gogs/astrid_emde/video.foss4g.org/src/master/foss4g2016/example
* the xml-files can be generated by the schedule.json file from frab (http://frab.fossgis-konferenz.de/en/foss4g-2016/public/schedule.json)
* Astrid can give you a script to generate the file for each mp4 file

== GIS- and Geo-related Podcasts ==

Some suggestions from the hivemind (note these are not necessarily open source specific):

* Directions Magazine http://www.directionsmag.com/ offers regular podcasts. They occasionally have open source related content by Adena Schutzberg (Directions staff) and others.

* http://www.opengeodata.org/?cat=13

* http://hobu.biz/category/podcast/ (note: links seem to be dead as of 15 Jan '08)

* IT Conversations has a lot of good content, http://itc.conversationsnetwork.org/index.html
