<div>== OSGeo Education and Curriculum Current Initiatives ==<br />
<br />
'''The official website is online at ''http://www.geoforall.org''''' - locations: [http://www.geoforall.org/locations/ ICA-OSGeo Map]<br />
<br />
=== 1) Continue to build up our educational material federated content databases ===<br />
<br />
* [http://www.osgeo.org/educational_content OSGeo edu's educational content metadatabase] -- a place for metadata and links to external material we are posting on our own websites<br />

<br />
===2) Continue to expand the "Geo for All" initiative ===<br />
<br />
This initiative is led by Suchith Anand.<br />
<br />
In September 2011, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) and the International Cartographic Association (ICA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the aim of developing on a global basis collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data. The MoU aims to provide expertise and support for the establishment of Open Source Geospatial Laboratories across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software, open data, open standards training and expertise. ISPRS joined this initiative in 2014. The motto of ICA-OSGeo Lab initiative is "Geo For All".Central to "Geo for All" mission is the belief that knowledge is a public good and Open Principles in Education will provide great opportunities for everyone. Details at [[MOU_ICA]].<br />
<br />
All interested organisations must be committed to contribute to the vision outlined in the ICA-OSGeo MoU http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in free and open source GIS software , FOSS, open data , open access (publications) and contribute to open education in the future. All participants should contribute to Education, Research and Service for the betterment of humanity as the key guiding principle and work towards the vision of the UN Millennium Development Goals http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ for building a better world.<br />

<br />
Email the regonial mailing lists and contact the region chairs to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process. The full criteria at http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoforall_criteria<br />
<br />
=== Key requirements for joining the "ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS Labs" initiative ===<br />
<br />
<br />
(A) Your local organisation MUST BE COMMITTED TO CONTRIBUTE to the vision outlined in the ICA-OSGeo MoU [1]http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in free and open source GIS software , FOSS, open data , open access (publications) and contribute to open education in the future. All participants should contribute to Education, Research and Service for the benefit and betterment of humanity as the key guiding principle and work towards the vision of the UN Millennium Development Goals [2] http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ for building a better world.<br />
<br />
(B) At least one person at your institution or organization should have strong knowledge in geospatial information science and vision to lead this activity and to build a team of people, locally. This person should act as a liaison officer to the initiative.<br />
<br />
(C) There should be a website established for your Open Source Geospatial Laboratory listing current research, people, and training information. This web presence will allow other nodes in the network and the general public to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches. The website should be established within a year of the lab announcement and has to be maintained at least annually.<br />
<br />
(D) GEO4ALL MAKES A COMMITMENT TO promote the initiative widely through OSGeo, ICA and ISPRS channels to help build up collaboration opportunities for the future. We will also do a joint press release to announce the initiative and start building collaborations. A primary collaborative initiative continues to be the creation and maintenance of shared open access educational resources and/or active participation in the open source software and data development. We will also add the information of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.<br />
<br />
Open Education is the simple and powerful idea that the world’s knowledge is a public good and that technology in general and the Worldwide Web in particular provide an extraordinary opportunity for everyone to share, use, and reuse knowledge. Open educational resources (OERs) are free and openly licensed educational materials that can be used for teaching and learning. Open educational resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge.<br />
We especially welcome applications from universities, educational institutes, government organisations in developing countries to help develop capacity building in geospatial education by establishing Open Source Geo Labs and support Open Education initiatives worldwide.<br />

===2) Continue to expand the "Geo for All" initiative ===<br />
<br />
This initiative is led by Suchith Anand.<br />
<br />
In September 2011, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) and the International Cartographic Association (ICA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the aim of developing on a global basis collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organizations in open source GIS software and data. The MoU aims to provide expertise and support for the establishment of Open Source Geospatial Laboratories across the world for supporting development of open-source geospatial software, open data, open standards training and expertise. ISPRS joined this initiative in 2014. The motto of ICA-OSGeo Lab initiative is "Geo For All".Central to "Geo for All" mission is the belief that knowledge is a public good and Open Principles in Education will provide great opportunities for everyone.

== Interested in joining or supporting the "Geo for All" initiative? ==<br />
<br />
<br />
As the lab network is expanding fast, we have also setup nodal contacts for each regions:<br />
<br />
# North America - Helena Mitasova (USA), Charles Schweik (USA), Phillip Davis (USA) <br />
# South America - Sergio Acosta y Lara (Uruguay) and Silvana Camboim (Brazil) <br />
# Europe - Maria Brovelli (Italy) and Peter Mooney (Ireland) <br />
# Asia (including Australia)- Tuong Thuy Vu (Malaysia/Vietnam) and Venkatesh Raghavan (Japan/India) <br />
# Africa - Rania Elsayed Ibrahim (Egypt), Serena Coetzee (South Africa) and Bridget Fleming (South Africa) <br />
<br />
Email the regonial mailing lists and contact the region chairs to start the conversation and they will be happy to discuss details and guide you through the process. The full criteria at http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoforall_criteria<br />
<br />
=== Key requirements for joining the "ICA-OSGeo-ISPRS Labs" initiative ===<br />
<br />
<br />
(A) Your local organisation MUST BE COMMITTED TO CONTRIBUTE to the vision outlined in the ICA-OSGeo MoU [1]http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA to develop collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in free and open source GIS software , FOSS, open data , open access (publications) and contribute to open education in the future. All participants should contribute to Education, Research and Service for the benefit and betterment of humanity as the key guiding principle and work towards the vision of the UN Millennium Development Goals [2] http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/ for building a better world.<br />
<br />
(B) At least one person at your institution or organization should have strong knowledge in geospatial information science and vision to lead this activity and to build a team of people, locally. This person should act as a liaison officer to the initiative.<br />
<br />
(C) There should be a website established for your Open Source Geospatial Laboratory listing current research, people, and training information. This web presence will allow other nodes in the network and the general public to understand and promote your local efforts around research and teaching of open source geospatial technologies and approaches. The website should be established within a year of the lab announcement and has to be maintained at least annually.<br />
<br />
(D) GEO4ALL MAKES A COMMITMENT TO promote the initiative widely through OSGeo, ICA and ISPRS channels to help build up collaboration opportunities for the future. We will also do a joint press release to announce the initiative and start building collaborations. A primary collaborative initiative continues to be the creation and maintenance of shared open access educational resources and/or active participation in the open source software and data development. We will also add the information of all labs in the Open Geospatial Lab network node site within OSGeo website so that all participating labs urls are added and linked.<br />
<br />
Open Education is the simple and powerful idea that the world’s knowledge is a public good and that technology in general and the Worldwide Web in particular provide an extraordinary opportunity for everyone to share, use, and reuse knowledge. Open educational resources (OERs) are free and openly licensed educational materials that can be used for teaching and learning. Open educational resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge.<br />
We especially welcome applications from universities, educational institutes, government organisations in developing countries to help develop capacity building in geospatial education by establishing Open Source Geo Labs and support Open Education initiatives worldwide.<br />

<div>== Background ==<br />
The OSGeo Board of Directors met with the UN GIS team at FOSS4G in Seoul, Korea in September 2015. The UN GIS team is very interested in having OSGeo "at the table", and is interested in an exchange of official letters (an MoU would take many years to pass through on their side apparently) to formalize the relationship. Mr. Kyoung-Soo Eom, chief of the UN Geospatial Information Section, has invited OSGeo to be part of a working group on Geospatial Information and Services for Disasters.<br />
<br />
== Goals ==<br />
<br />
* Develop a closer relationship with the UN.<br />
<br />
* Establish a formal agreement between OSGeo and the UN.<br />
<br />
* Establish communication between the UN GIS team and the OSGeo community.<br />
<br />
* Promote the use of Open Source geospatial tools by the UN's member states and committees.<br />
<br />
== Communication ==<br />
<br />

<div>'''Educational pre-conference workshop (22 August)'''<br />
<br />
:* As Till (the chairman of FOSS2016) declared: "We also have access to two session rooms (for approx. 25 persons each) on 23rd of August (day before core conference starts) in another place, which might be used for Geo4All/Education workshops. We can get this rooms for free, so we would have to care for some coffee and a snack for midday only."<br />
:* In Como we talked about two options: a) having workshop for German school teachers on use of FOSS4G (e.g. QGIS) in education, b) having workshop for teacher trainers to show them how they can motivate and attract teachers to open GIS. <br />
<br />
<br />
To be discussed:<br />
:* Was is/are our target group(s)?<br />
: Looking at the different background of ICA-OsGeo Labs we have at least 5 different groups:<br />
: 1) academics working with students over 19 at the universities,<br />
: 2) school teachers, working with children aged 6-12/14 (primary education) - in different countries we have different educational system so also different age groups<br />
: 3) school teachers, working with young people aged 12/14-19 (secondary education) - in different countries we have different educational system so also different age groups<br />
: 4) teacher trainers, so educators responsible for improving pre-service and/or in-service school teachers skills and knowledge,<br />
: 5) GI educators responsible for improving GIS skills and knowledge of very different groups of users (specialists, scientists, public administration staff, etc.)<br />
<br />
<br />
:* How to make people come to our one-day training(s)?<br />
: We should have no problems to get people from group no 1. and no. 5 - they will be in Bonn :-)<br />
: As far as group no. 2, 3 and 4 are concerned, it will be much harder. How can we support them - get money to cover their travel expenses? Till proposed to ask OsGeo for help.<br />

'''Conference (23-25 August)'''<br />
<br />
:* Education will be mentioned as one of the special topics in the General track. <br />
:* During the general program selection a special focus will be put on education-related presentations. The idea is not to make these presentations too much research-oriented (as in academic track) but really practical.<br />
:* As Volker (chair of program committee) mentioned: "My plan is to give the slots (3 talks in a row) some kind of topic. Those would be then be “education”.</div>Wiki-ElaWoloszynskahttps://wiki.osgeo.org/w/index.php?title=FOSS4G_2016_Education&diff=87431FOSS4G 2016 Education2015-10-29T11:41:53Z<p>Wiki-ElaWoloszynska: </p>

'''Conference (23-25 August)'''<br />
<br />
:* Education will be mentioned as one of the special topics in the General track. <br />
:* During the general program selection a special focus will be put on education-related presentations. The idea is not to make these presentations too much research-oriented (as in academic track) but really practical.<br />
:* As Volker (chair of program committee) mentioned: "My plan is to give the slots (3 talks in a row) some kind of topic. Those would be then be “education”.</div>Wiki-ElaWoloszynskahttps://wiki.osgeo.org/w/index.php?title=FOSS4G_2016_Education&diff=87430FOSS4G 2016 Education2015-10-29T11:41:00Z<p>Wiki-ElaWoloszynska: </p>

<div>'''Educational pre-conference workshop (22 August)'''<br />
<br />
:* As Till (the chairman of FOSS2016) declared: "We also have access to two session rooms (for approx. 25 persons each) on 23rd of August (day before core conference starts) in another place, which might be used for Geo4All/Education workshops. We can get this rooms for free, so we would have to care for some coffee and a snack for midday only."<br />
:* In Como we talked about two options: a) having workshop for German school teachers on use of FOSS4G (e.g. QGIS) in education, b) having workshop for teacher trainers to show them how they can motivate and attract teachers to open GIS. <br />
<br />
<br />
To be discussed:<br />
:* Was is/are our target group(s)?<br />
: Looking at the different background of ICA-OsGeo Labs we have at least 5 different groups:<br />
: 1) academics working with students over 19 at the universities,<br />
: 2) school teachers, working with children aged 6-12/14 (primary education) - in different countries we have different educational system so also different age groups<br />
: 3) school teachers, working with young people aged 12/14-19 (secondary education) - in different countries we have different educational system so also different age groups<br />
: 4) teacher trainers, so educators responsible for improving pre-service and/or in-service school teachers skills and knowledge,<br />
: 5) GI educators responsible for improving GIS skills and knowledge of very different groups of users (specialists, scientists, public administration staff, etc.)<br />
<br />
<br />
:* How to make people come to our one-day training(s)?<br />
: We should have no problems to get people from group no 1. and no. 5 - they will be in Bonn :-)<br />
: As far as group no. 2, 3 and 4 are concerned, it will be much harder. How can we support them - get money to cover their travel expenses? Till proposed to ask OsGeo for help.<br />

<div>__FORCETOC__<br />
<br />
= Introduction =<br />
<br />
OSGeo Advocates are authoritative OSGeo personalities who have volunteered to talk on behalf of the [http://osgeo.org OSGeo foundation]. Advocates should be able to speak well, even better if they are entertaining.<br />
<br />
There are hundreds, if not thousands of conferences around the world which have an interest in seeing presentations from authoritative speakers, with deep insights into topics related to Open Source Geospatial Software. Luckily, OSGeo is fortunate to draw extensive membership from around the world, and has access to such authoritative figures within most countries.<br />
<br />
= Process for becoming an OSGeo Advocate =<br />
<br />
Anyone fitting one of the [[OSGeo_Advocate#Understanding_OSGeo_roles|OSGeo Advocate categories]], may put themselves forward as an OSGeo Advocate. To do so, you will need to:<br />
* Create an OSGeo wiki account, to edit this wiki (See "login" link in top right of this page).<br />
* Add a portrait photo of yourself using the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:Upload Upload file] link in left margin in each page.<br />
* Create a new wiki page http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:YourOSGeoWikiUserName, and populate as per [[User:Template]], (copy and paste from the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=User:Template&action=edit source] so that you see comments in the template).<br />
* You can then add your profile on [[OSGeo_Advocate#OSGeo_Advocates|this wiki page]], under your Region:Country, names ordered alphabetically by First name, using the following:<br />
{{User:<YourOSGeoWikiUserName>}}<br />
<br />
= Annual Refresh of Advocate list =<br />
* The list of OSGeo Advocates will be refreshed annually, after the annual voting of OSGeo Charter Members. This will be achieved by removing lapsed Advocates, then moving all Current Advocates into the Past Advocate section. All Advocates will be invited to update their profile, and move their profile back into the current Advocates section.<br />

= Past OSGeo Advocates =<br />
This section lists prior listed Advocates who have not recently updated their profiles.<br />
<br />
= Understanding OSGeo roles =<br />
<br />
Below is an explanation of roles which Advocates might have been involved in as part of OSGeo:<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_board.png]] [[File:OSGeo_exboard.png]] OSGeo Board Members====<br />
: We only have 9 active OSGeo board members in the world, which have been peer selected based upon their outstanding leadership in the greater OSGeo community.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_charter.png]] OSGeo Charter Members====<br />
: Charter membership is obtained through a strongly contested selection process. Members tend to be developers and leaders in one or more OSGeo projects, and/or OSGeo business leaders, and have a deep understanding in many of the OSGeo projects and principles of Open Source.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:SolKatz.png]] Sol Katz Award ====<br />
: Every year, OSGeo presents the prestigious [http://www.osgeo.org/solkatz Sol Katz Award] to one individual who has demonstrated leadership and contributed significantly to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_chair.png]] [[File:OSGeo_psc.png]] Voted position in an OSGeo community====<br />
: These people hold a position of responsibility within one of the OSGeo sub-communities. This may be a chair of an OSGeo committee or board member of a Regional Chapter, or a member of a project's Project Steering Committee (PSC).<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_coder.png]] [[File:OSGeo_committee.png]] Developers and Committee Members====<br />
: This is where the real work gets done developing and coordinating development of OSGeo Software.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_user.png]] OSGeo Community Members====<br />
: These people are actively involved in one or more OSGeo communities, acting as practitioners, users, promoters or supporters of OSGeo software. These people tend to have a practical understanding about how OSGeo software works.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_translate.png]] OSGeo Translators====<br />
: These people have translated documentation for OSGeo-Live, and/or OSGeo projects. They usually have an established understanding of OSGeo topics and can present them in local languages.<br />
<br />
= Expenses =<br />
<br />
This OSGeo Advocate list has been designed to help event organisors find local authoritative speakers. Events wishing to import keynote speakers should anticipate covering expenses of these speakers. Note that OSGeo is a volunteer driven organisation without paid positions of authority and OSGeo doesn't budget to cover travel expenses. Note also that unlike proprietary companies, a company promoting Open Source software don't earn license fees when a delegate is convinced to start using the free software.<br />
<br />
When budgeting for keynote speakers expect to cover the following expenses:<br />
* Travel, typically including:<br />
** airfare<br />
** visa<br />
** travel insurance (including overseas medical, trip disruption, lost luggage, etc)<br />
** meals during travel<br />
** transit costs to local and host airports<br />
* Accommodation<br />
** standard 3 or 4 star hotel within walking distance of the event<br />
** high speed internet<br />
* Per diem costs<br />
** 3 meals a day<br />
* Speakers fee<br />
** typically $US 1000 per day. (Note that OSGeo volunteer speakers usually have a full time job and will be loosing wages for the duration of the event)<br />
<br />
For a rough guide of travel costs refer to the [http://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp US Department of State costs]<br />
<br />
Individual speakers may waive any of these costs if attracted to the event for other reasons, and final costs are to be negotiated with the selected speaker.<br />
<br />
= Other Resources =<br />
Links to other organizations running a similar process. <br />

<div>__FORCETOC__<br />
<br />
= Introduction =<br />
<br />
OSGeo Advocates are authoritative OSGeo personalities who have volunteered to talk on behalf of the [http://osgeo.org OSGeo foundation]. Advocates should be able to speak well, even better if they are entertaining.<br />
<br />
There are hundreds, if not thousands of conferences around the world which have an interest in seeing presentations from authoritative speakers, with deep insights into topics related to Open Source Geospatial Software. Luckily, OSGeo is fortunate to draw extensive membership from around the world, and has access to such authoritative figures within most countries.<br />
<br />
= Process for becoming an OSGeo Advocate =<br />
<br />
Anyone fitting one of the [[OSGeo_Advocate#Understanding_OSGeo_roles|OSGeo Advocate categories]], may put themselves forward as an OSGeo Advocate. To do so, you will need to:<br />
* Create an OSGeo wiki account, to edit this wiki (See "login" link in top right of this page).<br />
* Add a portrait photo of yourself using the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:Upload Upload file] link in left margin in each page.<br />
* Create a new wiki page http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:YourOSGeoWikiUserName, and populate as per [[User:Template]], (copy and paste from the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=User:Template&action=edit source] so that you see comments in the template).<br />
* You can then add your profile on [[OSGeo_Advocate#OSGeo_Advocates|this wiki page]], under your Region:Country, names ordered alphabetically by First name, using the following:<br />
{{User:<YourOSGeoWikiUserName>}}<br />
<br />
= Annual Refresh of Advocate list =<br />
* The list of OSGeo Advocates will be refreshed annually, after the annual voting of OSGeo Charter Members. This will be achieved by removing lapsed Advocates, then moving all Current Advocates into the Past Advocate section. All Advocates will be invited to update their profile, and move their profile back into the current Advocates section.<br />

= Past OSGeo Advocates =<br />
This section lists prior listed Advocates who have not recently updated their profiles.<br />
<br />
= Understanding OSGeo roles =<br />
<br />
Below is an explanation of roles which Advocates might have been involved in as part of OSGeo:<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_board.png]] [[File:OSGeo_exboard.png]] OSGeo Board Members====<br />
: We only have 9 active OSGeo board members in the world, which have been peer selected based upon their outstanding leadership in the greater OSGeo community.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_charter.png]] OSGeo Charter Members====<br />
: Charter membership is obtained through a strongly contested selection process. Members tend to be developers and leaders in one or more OSGeo projects, and/or OSGeo business leaders, and have a deep understanding in many of the OSGeo projects and principles of Open Source.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:SolKatz.png]] Sol Katz Award ====<br />
: Every year, OSGeo presents the prestigious [http://www.osgeo.org/solkatz Sol Katz Award] to one individual who has demonstrated leadership and contributed significantly to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_chair.png]] [[File:OSGeo_psc.png]] Voted position in an OSGeo community====<br />
: These people hold a position of responsibility within one of the OSGeo sub-communities. This may be a chair of an OSGeo committee or board member of a Regional Chapter, or a member of a project's Project Steering Committee (PSC).<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_coder.png]] [[File:OSGeo_committee.png]] Developers and Committee Members====<br />
: This is where the real work gets done developing and coordinating development of OSGeo Software.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_user.png]] OSGeo Community Members====<br />
: These people are actively involved in one or more OSGeo communities, acting as practitioners, users, promoters or supporters of OSGeo software. These people tend to have a practical understanding about how OSGeo software works.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_translate.png]] OSGeo Translators====<br />
: These people have translated documentation for OSGeo-Live, and/or OSGeo projects. They usually have an established understanding of OSGeo topics and can present them in local languages.<br />
<br />
= Expenses =<br />
<br />
This OSGeo Advocate list has been designed to help event organisors find local authoritative speakers. Events wishing to import keynote speakers should anticipate covering expenses of these speakers. Note that OSGeo is a volunteer driven organisation without paid positions of authority and OSGeo doesn't budget to cover travel expenses. Note also that unlike proprietary companies, a company promoting Open Source software don't earn license fees when a delegate is convinced to start using the free software.<br />
<br />
When budgeting for keynote speakers expect to cover the following expenses:<br />
* Travel, typically including:<br />
** airfare<br />
** visa<br />
** travel insurance (including overseas medical, trip disruption, lost luggage, etc)<br />
** meals during travel<br />
** transit costs to local and host airports<br />
* Accommodation<br />
** standard 3 or 4 star hotel within walking distance of the event<br />
** high speed internet<br />
* Per diem costs<br />
** 3 meals a day<br />
* Speakers fee<br />
** typically $US 1000 per day. (Note that OSGeo volunteer speakers usually have a full time job and will be loosing wages for the duration of the event)<br />
<br />
For a rough guide of travel costs refer to the [http://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp US Department of State costs]<br />
<br />
Individual speakers may waive any of these costs if attracted to the event for other reasons, and final costs are to be negotiated with the selected speaker.<br />

<br />
OSGeo Advocates are authoritative OSGeo personalities who have volunteered to talk on behalf of the [http://osgeo.org OSGeo foundation]. Advocates should be able to speak well, even better if they are entertaining.<br />
<br />
There are hundreds, if not thousands of conferences around the world which have an interest in seeing presentations from authoritative speakers, with deep insights into topics related to Open Source Geospatial Software. Luckily, OSGeo is fortunate to draw extensive membership from around the world, and has access to such authoritative figures within most countries.<br />
<br />
= Process for becoming an OSGeo Advocate =<br />
<br />
Anyone fitting one of the [[OSGeo_Advocate#Understanding_OSGeo_roles|OSGeo Advocate categories]], may put themselves forward as an OSGeo Advocate. To do so, you will need to:<br />
* Create an OSGeo wiki account, to edit this wiki (See "login" link in top right of this page).<br />
* Add a portrait photo of yourself using the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:Upload Upload file] link in left margin in each page.<br />
* Create a new wiki page http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:YourOSGeoWikiUserName, and populate as per [[User:Template]], (copy and paste from the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=User:Template&action=edit source] so that you see comments in the template).<br />
* You can then add your profile on [[OSGeo_Advocate#OSGeo_Advocates|this wiki page]], under your Region:Country, names ordered alphabetically by First name, using the following:<br />
{{User:<YourOSGeoWikiUserName>}}<br />
<br />
= Annual Refresh of Advocate list =<br />
* The list of OSGeo Advocates will be refreshed annually, after the annual voting of OSGeo Charter Members. This will be achieved by removing lapsed Advocates, then moving all Current Advocates into the Past Advocate section. All Advocates will be invited to update their profile, and move their profile back into the current Advocates section.<br />

= Past OSGeo Advocates =<br />
This section lists prior listed Advocates who have not recently updated their profiles.<br />
<br />
= Understanding OSGeo roles =<br />
<br />
Below is an explanation of roles which Advocates might have been involved in as part of OSGeo:<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_board.png]] [[File:OSGeo_exboard.png]] OSGeo Board Members====<br />
: We only have 9 active OSGeo board members in the world, which have been peer selected based upon their outstanding leadership in the greater OSGeo community.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_charter.png]] OSGeo Charter Members====<br />
: Charter membership is obtained through a strongly contested selection process. Members tend to be developers and leaders in one or more OSGeo projects, and/or OSGeo business leaders, and have a deep understanding in many of the OSGeo projects and principles of Open Source.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:SolKatz.png]] Sol Katz Award ====<br />
: Every year, OSGeo presents the prestigious [http://www.osgeo.org/solkatz Sol Katz Award] to one individual who has demonstrated leadership and contributed significantly to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_chair.png]] [[File:OSGeo_psc.png]] Voted position in an OSGeo community====<br />
: These people hold a position of responsibility within one of the OSGeo sub-communities. This may be a chair of an OSGeo committee or board member of a Regional Chapter, or a member of a project's Project Steering Committee (PSC).<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_coder.png]] [[File:OSGeo_committee.png]] Developers and Committee Members====<br />
: This is where the real work gets done developing and coordinating development of OSGeo Software.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_user.png]] OSGeo Community Members====<br />
: These people are actively involved in one or more OSGeo communities, acting as practitioners, users, promoters or supporters of OSGeo software. These people tend to have a practical understanding about how OSGeo software works.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_translate.png]] OSGeo Translators====<br />
: These people have translated documentation for OSGeo-Live, and/or OSGeo projects. They usually have an established understanding of OSGeo topics and can present them in local languages.<br />
<br />
= Expenses =<br />
<br />
This OSGeo Advocate list has been designed to help event organisors find local authoritative speakers. Events wishing to import keynote speakers should anticipate covering expenses of these speakers. Note that OSGeo is a volunteer driven organisation without paid positions of authority and OSGeo doesn't budget to cover travel expenses. Note also that unlike proprietary companies, a company promoting Open Source software don't earn license fees when a delegate is convinced to start using the free software.<br />
<br />
When budgeting for keynote speakers expect to cover the following expenses:<br />
* Travel, typically including:<br />
** airfare<br />
** visa<br />
** travel insurance (including overseas medical, trip disruption, lost luggage, etc)<br />
** meals during travel<br />
** transit costs to local and host airports<br />
* Accommodation<br />
** standard 3 or 4 star hotel within walking distance of the event<br />
** high speed internet<br />
* Per diem costs<br />
** 3 meals a day<br />
* Speakers fee<br />
** typically $US 1000 per day. (Note that OSGeo volunteer speakers usually have a full time job and will be loosing wages for the duration of the event)<br />
<br />
For a rough guide of travel costs refer to the [http://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp US Department of State costs]<br />
<br />
Individual speakers may waive any of these costs if attracted to the event for other reasons, and final costs are to be negotiated with the selected speaker.<br />

<div>__FORCETOC__<br />
<br />
= Introduction =<br />
<br />
OSGeo Advocates are authoritative OSGeo personalities who have volunteered to talk on behalf of the [http://osgeo.org OSGeo foundation]. Advocates should be able to speak well, even better if they are entertaining.<br />
<br />
There are hundreds, if not thousands of conferences around the world which have an interest in seeing presentations from authoritative speakers, with deep insights into topics related to Open Source Geospatial Software. Luckily, OSGeo is fortunate to draw extensive membership from around the world, and has access to such authoritative figures within most countries.<br />
<br />
= Process for becoming an OSGeo Advocate =<br />
<br />
Anyone fitting one of the [[OSGeo_Advocate#Understanding_OSGeo_roles|OSGeo Advocate categories]], may put themselves forward as an OSGeo Advocate. To do so, you will need to:<br />
* Create an OSGeo wiki account, to edit this wiki (See "login" link in top right of this page).<br />
* Add a portrait photo of yourself using the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:Upload Upload file] link in left margin in each page.<br />
* Create a new wiki page http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:YourOSGeoWikiUserName, and populate as per [[User:Template]], (copy and paste from the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=User:Template&action=edit source] so that you see comments in the template).<br />
* You can then add your profile on [[OSGeo_Advocate#OSGeo_Advocates|this wiki page]], under your Region:Country, names ordered alphabetically by First name, using the following:<br />
{{User:<YourOSGeoWikiUserName>}}<br />
<br />
= Annual Refresh of Advocate list =<br />
* The list of OSGeo Advocates will be refreshed annually, after the annual voting of OSGeo Charter Members. This will be achieved by removing lapsed Advocates, then moving all Current Advocates into the Past Advocate section. All Advocates will be invited to update their profile, and move their profile back into the current Advocates section.<br />

= Past OSGeo Advocates =<br />
This section lists prior listed Advocates who have not recently updated their profiles.<br />
<br />
= Understanding OSGeo roles =<br />
<br />
Below is an explanation of roles which Advocates might have been involved in as part of OSGeo:<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_board.png]] [[File:OSGeo_exboard.png]] OSGeo Board Members====<br />
: We only have 9 active OSGeo board members in the world, which have been peer selected based upon their outstanding leadership in the greater OSGeo community.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_charter.png]] OSGeo Charter Members====<br />
: Charter membership is obtained through a strongly contested selection process. Members tend to be developers and leaders in one or more OSGeo projects, and/or OSGeo business leaders, and have a deep understanding in many of the OSGeo projects and principles of Open Source.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:SolKatz.png]] Sol Katz Award ====<br />
: Every year, OSGeo presents the prestigious [http://www.osgeo.org/solkatz Sol Katz Award] to one individual who has demonstrated leadership and contributed significantly to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_chair.png]] [[File:OSGeo_psc.png]] Voted position in an OSGeo community====<br />
: These people hold a position of responsibility within one of the OSGeo sub-communities. This may be a chair of an OSGeo committee or board member of a Regional Chapter, or a member of a project's Project Steering Committee (PSC).<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_coder.png]] [[File:OSGeo_committee.png]] Developers and Committee Members====<br />
: This is where the real work gets done developing and coordinating development of OSGeo Software.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_user.png]] OSGeo Community Members====<br />
: These people are actively involved in one or more OSGeo communities, acting as practitioners, users, promoters or supporters of OSGeo software. These people tend to have a practical understanding about how OSGeo software works.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_translate.png]] OSGeo Translators====<br />
: These people have translated documentation for OSGeo-Live, and/or OSGeo projects. They usually have an established understanding of OSGeo topics and can present them in local languages.<br />
<br />
= Expenses =<br />
<br />
This OSGeo Advocate list has been designed to help event organisors find local authoritative speakers. Events wishing to import keynote speakers should anticipate covering expenses of these speakers. Note that OSGeo is a volunteer driven organisation without paid positions of authority and OSGeo doesn't budget to cover travel expenses. Note also that unlike proprietary companies, a company promoting Open Source software don't earn license fees when a delegate is convinced to start using the free software.<br />
<br />
When budgeting for keynote speakers expect to cover the following expenses:<br />
* Travel, typically including:<br />
** airfare<br />
** visa<br />
** travel insurance (including overseas medical, trip disruption, lost luggage, etc)<br />
** meals during travel<br />
** transit costs to local and host airports<br />
* Accommodation<br />
** standard 3 or 4 star hotel within walking distance of the event<br />
** high speed internet<br />
* Per diem costs<br />
** 3 meals a day<br />
* Speakers fee<br />
** typically $US 1000 per day. (Note that OSGeo volunteer speakers usually have a full time job and will be loosing wages for the duration of the event)<br />
<br />
For a rough guide of travel costs refer to the [http://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp US Department of State costs]<br />
<br />
Individual speakers may waive any of these costs if attracted to the event for other reasons, and final costs are to be negotiated with the selected speaker.<br />
<br />

= Introduction =<br />
<br />
OSGeo Advocates are authoritative OSGeo personalities who have volunteered to talk on behalf of the [http://osgeo.org OSGeo foundation]. Advocates should be able to speak well, even better if they are entertaining.<br />
<br />
There are hundreds, if not thousands of conferences around the world which have an interest in seeing presentations from authoritative speakers, with deep insights into topics related to Open Source Geospatial Software. Luckily, OSGeo is fortunate to draw extensive membership from around the world, and has access to such authoritative figures within most countries.<br />
<br />
= Process for becoming an OSGeo Advocate =<br />
<br />
Anyone fitting one of the [[OSGeo_Advocate#Understanding_OSGeo_roles|OSGeo Advocate categories]], may put themselves forward as an OSGeo Advocate. To do so, you will need to:<br />
* Create an OSGeo wiki account, to edit this wiki (See "login" link in top right of this page).<br />
* Add a portrait photo of yourself using the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:Upload Upload file] link in left margin in each page.<br />
* Create a new wiki page http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:YourOSGeoWikiUserName, and populate as per [[User:Template]], (copy and paste from the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=User:Template&action=edit source] so that you see comments in the template).<br />
* You can then add your profile on [[OSGeo_Advocate#OSGeo_Advocates|this wiki page]], under your Region:Country, names ordered alphabetically by First name, using the following:<br />
{{User:<YourOSGeoWikiUserName>}}<br />
<br />
= Annual Refresh of Advocate list =<br />
* The list of OSGeo Advocates will be refreshed annually, after the annual voting of OSGeo Charter Members. This will be achieved by removing lapsed Advocates, then moving all Current Advocates into the Past Advocate section. All Advocates will be invited to update their profile, and move their profile back into the current Advocates section.<br />

= Past OSGeo Advocates =<br />
This section lists prior listed Advocates who have not recently updated their profiles.<br />
<br />
= Understanding OSGeo roles =<br />
<br />
Below is an explanation of roles which Advocates might have been involved in as part of OSGeo:<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_board.png]] [[File:OSGeo_exboard.png]] OSGeo Board Members====<br />
: We only have 9 active OSGeo board members in the world, which have been peer selected based upon their outstanding leadership in the greater OSGeo community.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_charter.png]] OSGeo Charter Members====<br />
: Charter membership is obtained through a strongly contested selection process. Members tend to be developers and leaders in one or more OSGeo projects, and/or OSGeo business leaders, and have a deep understanding in many of the OSGeo projects and principles of Open Source.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:SolKatz.png]] Sol Katz Award ====<br />
: Every year, OSGeo presents the prestigious [http://www.osgeo.org/solkatz Sol Katz Award] to one individual who has demonstrated leadership and contributed significantly to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_chair.png]] [[File:OSGeo_psc.png]] Voted position in an OSGeo community====<br />
: These people hold a position of responsibility within one of the OSGeo sub-communities. This may be a chair of an OSGeo committee or board member of a Regional Chapter, or a member of a project's Project Steering Committee (PSC).<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_coder.png]] [[File:OSGeo_committee.png]] Developers and Committee Members====<br />
: This is where the real work gets done developing and coordinating development of OSGeo Software.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_user.png]] OSGeo Community Members====<br />
: These people are actively involved in one or more OSGeo communities, acting as practitioners, users, promoters or supporters of OSGeo software. These people tend to have a practical understanding about how OSGeo software works.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_translate.png]] OSGeo Translators====<br />
: These people have translated documentation for OSGeo-Live, and/or OSGeo projects. They usually have an established understanding of OSGeo topics and can present them in local languages.<br />
<br />
= Expenses =<br />
<br />
This OSGeo Advocate list has been designed to help event organisors find local authoritative speakers. Events wishing to import keynote speakers should anticipate covering expenses of these speakers. Note that OSGeo is a volunteer driven organisation without paid positions of authority and OSGeo doesn't budget to cover travel expenses. Note also that unlike proprietary companies, a company promoting Open Source software don't earn license fees when a delegate is convinced to start using the free software.<br />
<br />
When budgeting for keynote speakers expect to cover the following expenses:<br />
* Travel, typically including:<br />
** airfare<br />
** visa<br />
** travel insurance (including overseas medical, trip disruption, lost luggage, etc)<br />
** meals during travel<br />
** transit costs to local and host airports<br />
* Accommodation<br />
** standard 3 or 4 star hotel within walking distance of the event<br />
** high speed internet<br />
* Per diem costs<br />
** 3 meals a day<br />
* Speakers fee<br />
** typically $US 1000 per day. (Note that OSGeo volunteer speakers usually have a full time job and will be loosing wages for the duration of the event)<br />
<br />
For a rough guide of travel costs refer to the [http://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp US Department of State costs]<br />
<br />
Individual speakers may waive any of these costs if attracted to the event for other reasons, and final costs are to be negotiated with the selected speaker.<br />

= Past OSGeo Advocates =<br />
This section lists prior listed Advocates who have not recently updated their profiles.<br />
<br />
= Understanding OSGeo roles =<br />
<br />
Below is an explanation of roles which Advocates might have been involved in as part of OSGeo:<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_board.png]] [[File:OSGeo_exboard.png]] OSGeo Board Members====<br />
: We only have 9 active OSGeo board members in the world, which have been peer selected based upon their outstanding leadership in the greater OSGeo community.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_charter.png]] OSGeo Charter Members====<br />
: Charter membership is obtained through a strongly contested selection process. Members tend to be developers and leaders in one or more OSGeo projects, and/or OSGeo business leaders, and have a deep understanding in many of the OSGeo projects and principles of Open Source.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:SolKatz.png]] Sol Katz Award ====<br />
: Every year, OSGeo presents the prestigious [http://www.osgeo.org/solkatz Sol Katz Award] to one individual who has demonstrated leadership and contributed significantly to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_chair.png]] [[File:OSGeo_psc.png]] Voted position in an OSGeo community====<br />
: These people hold a position of responsibility within one of the OSGeo sub-communities. This may be a chair of an OSGeo committee or board member of a Regional Chapter, or a member of a project's Project Steering Committee (PSC).<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_coder.png]] [[File:OSGeo_committee.png]] Developers and Committee Members====<br />
: This is where the real work gets done developing and coordinating development of OSGeo Software.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_user.png]] OSGeo Community Members====<br />
: These people are actively involved in one or more OSGeo communities, acting as practitioners, users, promoters or supporters of OSGeo software. These people tend to have a practical understanding about how OSGeo software works.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_translate.png]] OSGeo Translators====<br />
: These people have translated documentation for OSGeo-Live, and/or OSGeo projects. They usually have an established understanding of OSGeo topics and can present them in local languages.<br />
<br />
= Expenses =<br />
<br />
This OSGeo Advocate list has been designed to help event organisors find local authoritative speakers. Events wishing to import keynote speakers should anticipate covering expenses of these speakers. Note that OSGeo is a volunteer driven organisation without paid positions of authority and OSGeo doesn't budget to cover travel expenses. Note also that unlike proprietary companies, a company promoting Open Source software don't earn license fees when a delegate is convinced to start using the free software.<br />
<br />
When budgeting for keynote speakers expect to cover the following expenses:<br />
* Travel, typically including:<br />
** airfare<br />
** visa<br />
** travel insurance (including overseas medical, trip disruption, lost luggage, etc)<br />
** meals during travel<br />
** transit costs to local and host airports<br />
* Accommodation<br />
** standard 3 or 4 star hotel within walking distance of the event<br />
** high speed internet<br />
* Per diem costs<br />
** 3 meals a day<br />
* Speakers fee<br />
** typically $US 1000 per day. (Note that OSGeo volunteer speakers usually have a full time job and will be loosing wages for the duration of the event)<br />
<br />
For a rough guide of travel costs refer to the [http://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp US Department of State costs]<br />
<br />
Individual speakers may waive any of these costs if attracted to the event for other reasons, and final costs are to be negotiated with the selected speaker.<br />

<div>__FORCETOC__<br />
<br />
= Introduction =<br />
<br />
OSGeo Advocates are authoritative OSGeo personalities who have volunteered to talk on behalf of the [http://osgeo.org OSGeo foundation]. Advocates should be able to speak well, even better if they are entertaining.<br />
<br />
There are hundreds, if not thousands of conferences around the world which have an interest in seeing presentations from authoritative speakers, with deep insights into topics related to Open Source Geospatial Software. Luckily, OSGeo is fortunate to draw extensive membership from around the world, and has access to such authoritative figures within most countries.<br />
<br />
= Process for becoming an OSGeo Advocate =<br />
<br />
Anyone fitting one of the [[OSGeo_Advocate#Understanding_OSGeo_roles|OSGeo Advocate categories]], may put themselves forward as an OSGeo Advocate. To do so, you will need to:<br />
* Create an OSGeo wiki account, to edit this wiki (See "login" link in top right of this page).<br />
* Add a portrait photo of yourself using the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:Upload Upload file] link in left margin in each page.<br />
* Create a new wiki page http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:YourOSGeoWikiUserName, and populate as per [[User:Template]], (copy and paste from the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=User:Template&action=edit source] so that you see comments in the template).<br />
* You can then add your profile on [[OSGeo_Advocate#OSGeo_Advocates|this wiki page]], under your Region:Country, names ordered alphabetically by First name, using the following:<br />
{{User:<YourOSGeoWikiUserName>}}<br />
<br />
= Annual Refresh of Advocate list =<br />
* The list of OSGeo Advocates will be refreshed annually, after the annual voting of OSGeo Charter Members. This will be achieved by removing lapsed Advocates, then moving all Current Advocates into the Past Advocate section. All Advocates will be invited to update their profile, and move their profile back into the current Advocates section.<br />

This section lists prior listed Advocates who have not recently updated their profiles.<br />
<br />
= Understanding OSGeo roles =<br />
<br />
Below is an explanation of roles which Advocates might have been involved in as part of OSGeo:<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_board.png]] [[File:OSGeo_exboard.png]] OSGeo Board Members====<br />
: We only have 9 active OSGeo board members in the world, which have been peer selected based upon their outstanding leadership in the greater OSGeo community.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_charter.png]] OSGeo Charter Members====<br />
: Charter membership is obtained through a strongly contested selection process. Members tend to be developers and leaders in one or more OSGeo projects, and/or OSGeo business leaders, and have a deep understanding in many of the OSGeo projects and principles of Open Source.<br />
<br />
==== [[File:SolKatz.png]] Sol Katz Award ====<br />
: Every year, OSGeo presents the prestigious [http://www.osgeo.org/solkatz Sol Katz Award] to one individual who has demonstrated leadership and contributed significantly to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_chair.png]] [[File:OSGeo_psc.png]] Voted position in an OSGeo community====<br />
: These people hold a position of responsibility within one of the OSGeo sub-communities. This may be a chair of an OSGeo committee or board member of a Regional Chapter, or a member of a project's Project Steering Committee (PSC).<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_coder.png]] [[File:OSGeo_committee.png]] Developers and Committee Members====<br />
: This is where the real work gets done developing and coordinating development of OSGeo Software.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_user.png]] OSGeo Community Members====<br />
: These people are actively involved in one or more OSGeo communities, acting as practitioners, users, promoters or supporters of OSGeo software. These people tend to have a practical understanding about how OSGeo software works.<br />
<br />
====[[File:OSGeo_translate.png]] OSGeo Translators====<br />
: These people have translated documentation for OSGeo-Live, and/or OSGeo projects. They usually have an established understanding of OSGeo topics and can present them in local languages.<br />
<br />
= Expenses =<br />
<br />
This OSGeo Advocate list has been designed to help event organisors find local authoritative speakers. Events wishing to import keynote speakers should anticipate covering expenses of these speakers. Note that OSGeo is a volunteer driven organisation without paid positions of authority and OSGeo doesn't budget to cover travel expenses. Note also that unlike proprietary companies, a company promoting Open Source software don't earn license fees when a delegate is convinced to start using the free software.<br />
<br />
When budgeting for keynote speakers expect to cover the following expenses:<br />
* Travel, typically including:<br />
** airfare<br />
** visa<br />
** travel insurance (including overseas medical, trip disruption, lost luggage, etc)<br />
** meals during travel<br />
** transit costs to local and host airports<br />
* Accommodation<br />
** standard 3 or 4 star hotel within walking distance of the event<br />
** high speed internet<br />
* Per diem costs<br />
** 3 meals a day<br />
* Speakers fee<br />
** typically $US 1000 per day. (Note that OSGeo volunteer speakers usually have a full time job and will be loosing wages for the duration of the event)<br />
<br />
For a rough guide of travel costs refer to the [http://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp US Department of State costs]<br />
<br />
Individual speakers may waive any of these costs if attracted to the event for other reasons, and final costs are to be negotiated with the selected speaker.<br />
