North America Regional

2011-11-03T18:06:49Z

Wiki-Davemac: /* People */

== Mission ==

The primary focus of the North America regional charter will be to organize and run annual North American conferences. It is not the intent of this chapter to duplicate or compete with established local chapters or the international organization's ongoing efforts.

The North America regional conference will also support and collaborate with other like minded organizations for smaller technical and business focused conferences within the region.

'''Background'''
The OSGeo Board of Directors has recently discussed establishing regional focus groups and conferences that could more effectively address the needs of those areas. This would allow OSGeo to act as more of an umbrella international organization. It is anticipated that the International OSGeo conference will rotate around the globe and will be combined with the regional conference when that region is selected.

'''Objectives'''

*Organize and run an annual North American regional conference
*Increased focus on open source business models
*Provide an interface for National, Regional and Local government agencies as they adopt open source solutions
*Coordinate with local North American chapters for planned events within those localities
*Support OSGeo board for international events

In addition we will be coordinating closely with other regional organizations:

*[http://mil-oss.org/ MIL-OSS ] Military Open Source Software
*[http://usgif.org/ USGIF] United States Geospatial Intelligence Agency
*[http://www.oss-institute.org/ OSSI] Open Source Software Institute
*[http://opensourceforamerica.org/ OSFA] Open Source for America

'''Official representative'''

[[User:mlucas17|Mark Lucas]]
Principal Scientist
RadiantBlue Technologies Inc.

If the majority of chapter members wish, the post of official representative will be elected on a periodic basis.

== Organization ==
The intent is to organize as a 501c non profit organization.

== Mailing List ==

http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/northamerica

== Meetings and Events ==

No meetings have been planned yet, the intent will be to establish formal quarterly meetings to review conference and organizational planning.

=== Upcoming Events ===

''' FOSS4g 2012 - Beijing [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2012]

'''North American Regional OSGeo/foss4g Conference''' Initial discussion will be focused on organizing a follow on North American regional conference in 2012. We will work to deconflict this event with the OSGeo/foss4g international conference in Beijing as well as the as the annual Geoint conference.

'''USGIF Technology Day]''' [http://usgif.org/events/GEOINTCommWeek/Day2 USGIF Technology Day]

=== Recent Events ===

''' MIL-OSS WG3 ''' [http://mil-oss.org/wg3-overview MIL-OSS Working Group 3]

FOSS4G 2009 Demonstration Theatre

2009-09-10T13:30:43Z

Wiki-Davemac: /* Demo Schedule */

Welcome to the 2009 Demonstration Theatre - a chance to show off what your team or community is capable of (to a willing audience since they are having their coffee).

== Hapless Volunteers ==

* [[User:Jive | Jody Garnett]]
* You! (add your name to this list to volunteer)

Where possible we will try and have community leaders introduce the members of their community that are offering demos.

= Demo Theatre =

Demo Venue:
* This year we are taking over one of the presentations spaces during the lunch break and afternoon tea.

Demo Facilities:
* We will have two overheads projectors (so one team can set up as another is presenting)

== Demo Schedule ==

The demo schedule is being set now (over the month of August) as it is one of the last things to be placed into the program.

August:
* 3 Aug, 2009: Sponsors -- Initial email contact
* 10 Aug, 2009: Sponsors -- Contacted via Phone
September:
* 7 Sep 2009: Community Leaders asked to contact their email lists and FOSS4G Submissions Contacted (Workshops/Tutorials/Presentations)
* 14 Sep 2009: Demo Schedule Finalized
* 21 Sep 2009: Printed Program Deadline

Please keep in mind:
* Primary spots are at the start of Lunch and the afternoon tea break (these time slots have the most walk-by traffic to feed on)
* We will group similar content together (both to allow direct comparison and to let those interested in a topic to mark off a block of time)
* Demos are the last thing to be Scheduled in terms of conference priorities - we do not anticipate any conflicts since we are running in the breaks this year
* If you would like to do a demonstration in the theatre, please contact the theatre coordinator [mailto:jody.garnett@lisasoft.com?Subject=FOSS4G Demonstration demos]
* We will open the demo theatre up to sponsors first (they are paying for this party after all) and then to the general community
* When the call goes out it will be first come first served (no fancy attempt to balance the content or match the conference agenda - this is a simple activity)

note: * note a poster session has also been scheduled for this timeslot

= Giving a Demo =

The first step is to have something to demo:
* You have 10 minutes
* You must demo software (really - it is an open source software conference)
* Show us, rather that talk. It is better to show software and leave time for questions than to try and handle this as a presentation.
* Source code is hard to read and does not qualify for "show us"
* You will have 5 mins to set up prior, and 5 mins to tear down. Please be prompt as there is someone waiting to start after you.
* Sponsors (or anyone starting a session): you will have access to the room for a bit before the session starts - if you want to take the time drag in a poster (or put hand outs on the chairs) more power to you.

The second step is to email us:
* [mailto:jody.garnett@lisasoft.com?Subject=FOSS4G Demonstration demos]
* Let us know of any schedule constraints (perhaps you are presenting or giving a lab)
* We will get back to you with a timeslot (we will be organizing the demos according to subject matter or community).

== Suggestions ==

Is this your first time doing a demo?
* If you are used to doing presentations; try this approach: Show the software and hand out your presentation in paper form.
* Be excited, what you are showing is *cool* and meeting people like you is why we come to these conferences anyways
* Hang around to the end of the session, many people that would like to ask you questions will be hesitant to walk out of the room to chase you down.

You may also wish to bring:
* Something to hand out (Your business card, demo-CDs, academic papers, t-shirts)

If you would like to have someone introduce you please warn them before hand:
- Your professor? Your company's marketing department? Your open source project lead?

Let people know where to find you:
* For sponsors - be sure to include a slide showing the location of your booth
* For academics - let them know if you have a poster up

== Warning ==

Bring your own laptop, do not expect to install software during your demo (you only have 10 minutes).
* This advice can be ignored if you want to demo the fact you have a slick installer now
* You may wish to make a back up "flash" demo (use http://debugmode.com/wink/ for example) in case the worst happens (THIS IS GOOD ADVICE)
* Turn off virus checkers, ebay bidding tools, email applications and anything else that is going to leap up and ask for attention in an embarrassing manner

With respect to the Internet:
* Ensure you can connect to the wireless network before starting your presentation
* We will try and have a LAN drop for you
* Expect the Internet to be slow (there are a lot of fun toys at a conference like this all of which want their piece of the packet pie)
* Run from a local service installed on your laptop if you can

== Questions ==

==== Is there a PC with Internet? ====

Please bring your own laptop (that way you can be sure it is set up correctly for your demo), there will be a LAN drop (or you can make use of the conference wireless).

==== How long should a demo be? ====

The demo slot is 10 mins, you may want to use the entire time to show your application. Or you may want to show the application for for 5 mins and answer a few questions.

==== Do demo's have to be visual? ====

It depends on what you are showing, if you want to show that "Using JTS Prepaired Geometry is 120% faster" a simple JUnit test and a code example may be all that is needed. If you want to demonstrate an open source compass based on two GPS units you may wish to dance around the room in an entertaining manner.

=Banner adds for web sites=
In 2007, 26% of delegates learned about the international FOSS4G conference from weblinks. So again, the FOSS4G Organising Committee is asking FOSS4G sponsors, Geospatial Open Source and Open Standards companies, and Community Leaders to add a FOSS4G logo to their websites and blogs.

Promote FOSS4G and your companies Open Source / Open Standards credentials by adding one of these web banner to your website or blog, and link back to http://2009.foss4g.org.

If you are attending FOSS4G, or presenting, why not say "Look out for my presentation on ''_topic_'' at FOSS4G".
