&lt;div&gt;The GeoNetwork PSC requests a 2021 budget of $2500.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Intended for:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* $1000: Operational budget to assist any team and outreach activities&lt;br /&gt;
* $1500: Legal advice to evaluate the upcoming license change of Elasticsearch&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topic 1 includes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Bolsena Codesprint 2021 will hopefully be IRL, else online like last year.&lt;br /&gt;
* GeoNetwork User meeting will be online like last year.&lt;br /&gt;
* GeoNetwork website hosting, nightly builds&lt;br /&gt;
* Migration to Github Actions, Travis has changed its fees, so we're in the process of adopting Github Actions, which is more cost effective.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topic 2 is required the Elastic team has adopted a license which is not OSI compatible. &lt;br /&gt;
We have to evaluate if this impacts the license of GeoNetwork or any service deployment including GeoNetwork. Read more at https://anonymoushash.vmbrasseur.com/2021/01/14/elasticsearch-and-kibana-are-now-business-risks. ES has become a required component since GeoNetwork 4. &lt;br /&gt;

We would like to request three prizes, each to the value of USD 3,000. The number of prizes and amounts are based on previous years, however, we understand that 2020 was a difficult year and that there could be budget constraints because the conference could not take place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We plan to arrange the OSGeo Educational Challenge similarly to that in 2018 [1] and 2019 [2], for which the material is now available on the OSGeo Wiki, see e.g. [3], [4] and [5]. The challenge supports the objectives of the OSGeo UN Committee [6], i.e. promoting the development and use of open source software that meets UN needs and supports the aims of the UN. For various reasons, we were not able to arrange the challenge in 2020, but we are planning to have the next one in 2021. Vicky Vergara has already expressed interest in mentoring a challenge related to developing training material for pgrouting. The other two challenges are planned on topics related to COVID-19 (with QGIS) and Geo Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI), a topic of interest in the UN Open GIS initiative.&lt;br /&gt;

== OSGeo Initiatives ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OSGeo initiatives have formed to pursue a specific short term, or long term goal. Initiatives maybe formed by a committee or the board as required. Initiatives are a great way to collaborate with projects, committees and partners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* FOSS4G - event series produced in collaboration with the conference committee and local chapters&lt;br /&gt;
* GeoForAll - education and research program produced in collaboration with our partners&lt;br /&gt;
* Incubation - mentor program for open source projects to be recognized as OSGeo project&lt;br /&gt;
* Local Chapters - board outreach initiative establishing regional OSGeo groups for direct grassroots advoacacy&lt;br /&gt;
* GSoC - coordinate participation in google-summer-of-code and code-in activities&lt;br /&gt;
* Travel Grant Program - provides assistance for attending OSGeo events&lt;br /&gt;

OSGeo Projects each have a project steering committee, the chair of which is acknowledged as a foundation officer with spending authority on behalf of their committee.&lt;br /&gt;

Notes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* We have reached out (2020) to the projects mailing list with a default suggestion of 2000 for any project that responds&lt;br /&gt;
* Projects with a plan may of course ask for increased funding&lt;br /&gt;
* This is a budget, representing planned spending in 2021 - actual balance available to each PSC (from fundraising, donations and sponsorship) may be considered when planning.&lt;br /&gt;
* If a project did not respond (or runs into an unforeseen expense) please contact the board throughout the year as budgets can be amended&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
We have set aside a budget for community events in 2021:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Supporting community building events is distinct from the development focused code-sprints below&lt;br /&gt;
* We are inviting community members to contact us about events (rather than try and adjust their event to fit into our code sprint guidelines)&lt;br /&gt;
* OSGeo is is focused on our outreach goals as an organization as such our primary contribution to events is free software and enthusiasm rather than finical, we use funding to enable our members rather than for sponsorship and visibility.&lt;br /&gt;
* Please note our [https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/blob/master/board/documents/osgeo_financial_guidance.pdf financial guidance document]&lt;br /&gt;

== Code Sprints ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have asked project teams for guidance to help set our code sprint budget:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Please note our [https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/blob/master/board/documents/osgeo_financial_guidance.pdf financial guidance document] ask for event details, budget and fundraising on your part.&lt;br /&gt;
* Out priority is to share the risk with organizers allowing access to funds early to book facilities as required&lt;br /&gt;
* Code sprint budget is structured carry funds from one event to the next allowing us to hold more code-sprints with a smaller annual budget.&lt;br /&gt;

We would like to request three prizes, each to the value of USD 3,000. The number of prizes and amounts are based on previous years, however, we understand that 2020 was a difficult year and that there could be budget constraints because the conference could not take place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We plan to arrange the OSGeo Educational Challenge similarly to that in 2018 [1] and 2019 [2], for which the material is now available on the OSGeo Wiki, see e.g. [3], [4] and [5]. The challenge supports the objectives of the OSGeo UN Committee [6], i.e. promoting the development and use of open source software that meets UN needs and supports the aims of the UN. For various reasons, we were not able to arrange the challenge in 2020, but we are planning to have the next one in 2021. Vicky Vergara has already expressed interest in mentoring a challenge related to developing training material for pgrouting. The other two challenges are planned on topics related to COVID-19 (with QGIS) and Geo Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI), a topic of interest in the UN Open GIS initiative.&lt;br /&gt;

== OSGeo Initiatives ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OSGeo initiatives have formed to pursue a specific short term, or long term goal. Initiatives maybe formed by a committee or the board as required. Initiatives are a great way to collaborate with projects, committees and partners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* FOSS4G - event series produced in collaboration with the conference committee and local chapters&lt;br /&gt;
* GeoForAll - education and research program produced in collaboration with our partners&lt;br /&gt;
* Incubation - mentor program for open source projects to be recognized as OSGeo project&lt;br /&gt;
* Local Chapters - board outreach initiative establishing regional OSGeo groups for direct grassroots advoacacy&lt;br /&gt;
* GSoC - coordinate participation in google-summer-of-code and code-in activities&lt;br /&gt;
* Travel Grant Program - provides assistance for attending OSGeo events&lt;br /&gt;

Notes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* We have reached out (2020) to the projects mailing list with a default suggestion of 2000 for any project that responds&lt;br /&gt;
* Projects with a plan may of course ask for increased funding&lt;br /&gt;
* This is a budget, representing planned spending in 2021 - actual balance available to each PSC (from fundraising, donations and sponsorship) may be considered when planning.&lt;br /&gt;
* If a project did not respond (or runs into an unforeseen expense) please contact the board throughout the year as budgets can be amended&lt;br /&gt;

== Community Events ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have set aside a budget for community events in 2021:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Supporting community building events is distinct from the development focused code-sprints below&lt;br /&gt;
* We are inviting community members to contact us about events (rather than try and adjust their event to fit into our code sprint guidelines)&lt;br /&gt;
* OSGeo is is focused on our outreach goals as an organization as such our primary contribution to events is free software and enthusiasm rather than finical, we use funding to enable our members rather than for sponsorship and visibility.&lt;br /&gt;
* Please note our [https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/blob/master/board/documents/osgeo_financial_guidance.pdf financial guidance document]&lt;br /&gt;

== Code Sprints ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have asked project teams for guidance to help set our code sprint budget:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Please note our [https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/blob/master/board/documents/osgeo_financial_guidance.pdf financial guidance document] ask for event details, budget and fundraising on your part.&lt;br /&gt;
* Out priority is to share the risk with organizers allowing access to funds early to book facilities as required&lt;br /&gt;
* Code sprint budget is structured carry funds from one event to the next allowing us to hold more code-sprints with a smaller annual budget.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The GeoNetwork PSC requests a 2021 budget of $2500.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Intended for:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* $1000: Operational budget to assist any team and outreach activities&lt;br /&gt;
* $1500: Legal advice to evaluate the upcoming license change of Elasticsearch&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Elastic search has become a required component in GeoNetwork 4, the Elastic team has adopted a license which is not OSI compatible. &lt;br /&gt;
We have to evaluate if this impacts the license of GeoNetwork or any service deployment including GeoNetwork. Read more at https://anonymoushash.vmbrasseur.com/2021/01/14/elasticsearch-and-kibana-are-now-business-risks&lt;br /&gt;
- Bolsena Codesprint 2021 will hopefully be IRL, else online like last year.&lt;br /&gt;
- GeoNetwork User meeting will be online like last year.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
After thirteen successful years, we'll continue the OSGeo &amp;quot;hacking&amp;quot; event, but this will be a special edition of the event. Due to current Covid crisis, traveling to the [http://www.conventobolsena.org/ Italian monastery] ([http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=42.646585&amp;amp;mlon=11.99335&amp;amp;zoom=14&amp;amp;layers=M see map location]) is a challenge. That's why we're hosting the event as an online meeting. Watch this space for the program to become available.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The event will take place during the whole week (5 days), although the emphasis will probably be Monday to Friday for most participants.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Sponsoring ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) encourages code sprints for developers of open source GIS software to work together in person as a team, and build up relationships between projects (https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Category:Code_Sprints).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A project focused code sprint for is booked for 29 June - 4 July 2020 in Bolsena Italy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We expect 15-25 international participants from across the geospatial community, including [https://www.osgeo.org/, OSGeo] projects. This sprint is a chance for project teams to work on RnD, maintenance challenges, and any activity which benefits from the quick turn around of in person communication. This is your chance to meet with the core developers of the projects, get a deeper insight into the software, and participate in the development.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to the costs of providing the technical infrastructure and space, food and drink for the developers represents the main cost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to cover these costs we would be overjoyed to accept offers of sponsorship!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What we can offer:&lt;br /&gt;

* Acknowledgement in all sprint related emails&lt;br /&gt;
* Our undying gratitude, which comes in handy when you least expect it (remember that feature you wanted?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sponsorship levels:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Sponsor: 1000 EUR&lt;br /&gt;
* Sponsor: 500 EUR&lt;br /&gt;

After thirteen successful years, we'll continue the OSGeo &amp;quot;hacking&amp;quot; event, but this will be a special edition of the event. Due to current Covid crisis, traveling to the [http://www.conventobolsena.org/ Italian monastery] ([http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=42.646585&amp;amp;mlon=11.99335&amp;amp;zoom=14&amp;amp;layers=M see map location] is a challenge. That's why we're hosting the event as an online meeting. Watch this space for the program to become available.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The event will take place during the whole week (5 days), although the emphasis will probably be Monday to Friday for most participants.&lt;br /&gt;
Please contact me if you have questions about this event ([[User:ticheler |Jeroen Ticheler]])&lt;br /&gt;

=== Sponsoring ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) encourages code sprints for developers of open source GIS software to work together in person as a team, and build up relationships between projects (https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Category:Code_Sprints).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A project focused code sprint for is booked for 29 June - 4 July 2020 in Bolsena Italy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We expect 15-25 international participants from across the geospatial community, including [https://www.osgeo.org/, OSGeo] projects. This sprint is a chance for project teams to work on RnD, maintenance challenges, and any activity which benefits from the quick turn around of in person communication. This is your chance to meet with the core developers of the projects, get a deeper insight into the software, and participate in the development.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to the costs of providing the technical infrastructure and space, food and drink for the developers represents the main cost.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
- OGC API Catalog (AKA Cat 4) in OGC, MetaSearch, pyGeoAPI, GeoNetwork, Geoserver, deegree&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Catalogs typically use OGC services to provide data previews of listed datasets. OGC is creating a batch of new OGC-API standards which will likely impact catalogs. Many catalogs delegate to OpenLayers and JSONIX to communicate to OGC services. To hear is the status of OpenLayers and JSONIX about ideas on new OGC API's&lt;br /&gt;

=== Women in Geospatial - What skills will matter in FOSS4G? ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This session highlights different aspects of essential skills in order to build up a successful career in FOSS4G. Besides an inspirational talk from Maria Brovelli, the Queen of FOSS4G, we will have a panel discussion with geospatial experts and FOSS4G enthusiasts discussing essential career skills across the career ladder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, some community efforts such as the newly founded [https://twitter.com/geospatialwomen/ Women in Geospatial network] and the [https://twitter.com/GeochicasOSM/ GeoChicasOSM network] are presented.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This session is organised by Women in Geospatial network and we invite everyone to this session (men and women), who would like to join us in discussing different career development paths in the FOSS4G domain.&lt;br /&gt;

- OGC API Catalog (AKA Cat 4) in OGC, MetaSearch, pyGeoAPI, GeoNetwork, Geoserver, deegree&lt;br /&gt;
- Catalogs typically use OGC services to provide data previews of listed datasets. OGC is creating a batch of new OGC-API standards which will likely impact catalogs. Many catalogs delegate to OpenLayers and JSONIX to communicate to OGC services. To hear is the status of OpenLayers and JSONIX about ideas on new OGC API's&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;OSGeo's [[Season_Of_Docs_2019|Season of Docs]] home page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''From simple to grandiose writing tasks which will improve OSGeo projects, and open source in general. It includes ideas and first steps for tech writers, software users and those participating in Google’s [https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/ Season-of-Docs].''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We, the communities behind the [https://www.osgeo.org/ OSGeo Foundation’s] open source geospatial projects, are positioned to help solve big documentation challenges faced by all open source projects. We can achieve this by continuing as we are doing now, with ordinary people, gifting small bursts of effort, toward discrete and achievable tasks, to collectively achieve an extraordinary impact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Leveraging Google’s Season-of-Docs=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Google’s [https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/ Season-of-Docs] is an initiative to bring the open source and technical writer communities together to write documentation. The OSGeo Foundation will be allocated one paid tech writer, which we are [#People_keen_to_take_part matching with multiple volunteers]. We propose we use this initiative as a focal point to attract a collaborative community to pilot big ideas. In particular:&lt;br /&gt;
* Open source projects face sustainability challenges. How will docs created during the Season-Of-Docs be maintained long term?&lt;br /&gt;
* Can a writer’s expertise be amplified to help community users and developers write good docs more effectively and efficiently?&lt;br /&gt;
* Could best practices developed in one project be applied to the greater open source eco-system? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We propose to focus on one (or more) writing initiatives, for one of our leading OSGeo projects. Goals should focus on:&lt;br /&gt;
* Being directly applicable for the project.&lt;br /&gt;
* Be captured as a template, which can be easily applied to other OSGeo projects. Ideally, this will grow into an initiative which is of value to all open source projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Key roles sought==&lt;br /&gt;
Our OSGeo foundation can absorb many more writers than the one writer who will be paid by Google. Want to join us?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Volunteer Writer''': As someone keen to give back to open source through docs, volunteer to work with like-minded people. Mentor and be mentored. Tackle anything from simple fixes through to world-leading thought leadership.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Volunteer Technical Mentor''': As an experienced project team member, provide [https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/mentor-guide technical mentorship] toward a writing initiative.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Volunteer Learning Expert''': Help shape documentation templates and guides by linking back to educational theory. (This role is highly valued).&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Volunteer Administrator''': As an engaged OSGeo community member, act as a [https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/admin-guide Season-of-Docs administrator].&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Paid Senior Writer''': Lead the writing aspects of our initiative, including empowering other participants. [https://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=Season_of_Docs_Ideas_2019#Selection_criteria_for_paid_role Selection Criteria].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Selection criteria for paid role ==&lt;br /&gt;
For the paid [https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/tech-writer-guide senior technical writer role], we are looking for someone to help us reach our goals of being impactful, sustainable and effective.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
About you:&lt;br /&gt;
* You likely have had years of experience working as a senior technical writer or equivalent. You are familiar with various style guides, writing styles, information design, writing tools, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
* It will be helpful if you understand the basics of software development, including:&lt;br /&gt;
**  Installing software on Linux, Windows and Mac, from the command line&lt;br /&gt;
** Using basic git and GitHub functionality to update documentation&lt;br /&gt;
** Writing in wiki, markdown and rST formats&lt;br /&gt;
* You are motivated by more than the paid stipend. You intend to stick around and amplify the long term impact of your contributions.&lt;br /&gt;
* You are nice and friendly, in line with our [https://www.osgeo.org/code_of_conduct/ code-of-conduct]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In responding, consider:&lt;br /&gt;
* How will your contributions be valuable beyond the SeasonOfDocs period, beyond the initiative you take on, beyond the specific project(s) you help?&lt;br /&gt;
* How will you be helping others become more effective? Look at profiles of volunteers interested so far.&lt;br /&gt;
* How would you suggest we shape our communication strategy? &lt;br /&gt;
* Will you be able to help us find and then become involved in best practice documentation communities? You might already be part of such communities.&lt;br /&gt;
* Google offers standard-length (3 months) and long-running (6 months) options (for the same stipend funds). The longer timeframe is better suited to working with volunteers and our goal of sustainability.&lt;br /&gt;
* It will be challenging for us to have the bandwidth to assess whether you are both competent and will sustain your involvement long term. Are you able to reference your volunteer involvement in other communities? How can you concisely reference your communication expertise?&lt;br /&gt;
* Involvement in writing communities, such as [https://www.writethedocs.org/ WriteTheDocs] would be considered valuable or worth referencing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Does all this sound exciting, but you suspect you don’t have the bandwidth or expertise for the paid senior technical writer role? Why not join our volunteers?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=The back story=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For background on the value of communicators, along with ideas on the sort of communities that have proven to be successful in the past, we suggest starting with [http://cameronshorter.blogspot.com/2019/02/inspiring-techies-to-become-great.html this article on inspiring techies to become great writers].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Ideas=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Best practice templates==&lt;br /&gt;
Are you a tech writer keen to help build a suite of writing templates and instructions for open source projects? There doesn't seem to be broadly applicable templates, and we suspect they'll need to be built as an open project. Are you interested in collaborating with and enabling other techies and writers? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Good documentation benefits from access to cross-disciplinary skills. Expertise is typically spread across developers, users, domain experts, teachers, technical writers, graphic artists, and translators. Ramp-up time is high for any group attempting to learn another’s skill-set. This creates a significant barrier to entry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our OSGeoLive initiative has [http://cameronshorter.blogspot.com/2019/02/inspiring-techies-to-become-great.html achieved] sustained, cross-domain collaboration by capturing writer’s expertise within templates with clear and punchy writing instructions. These templates were then provided to developers and domain experts. By using an outline/write/review/translate/publish process we’ve achieved significant efficiencies by allowing experts to focus only on the areas they know best. However, OSGeoLive has only tackled the Project Overview and Quickstarts. Geospatial projects which have tackled harder documentation types haven’t addressed cross-project consistency.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How can we align our OSGeoLive writing initiatives with other projects and help build best practice templates for key documentation types? This will be valuable if addressed across all our OSGeo geospatial projects. It will be significantly more valuable if extended to an international, cross-domain level. (It will be challenging to attract momentum, but good groundwork is in place, and if implemented it would have a huge positive impact.)&lt;br /&gt;

==Reduce writer barrier to entry==&lt;br /&gt;
To attract contributors, projects should reduce ramp-up time; and good documentation is key. Poetically, the documenters who are most qualified to help are typically the least technical, and face the greatest ramp-up time. Some of the issues relating to getting started are about bridging the gap between developers and writers. &lt;br /&gt;
As explained by a writer: &lt;br /&gt;
: Developers write code in coding tools. They collaborate, they are used to versioning and are at home with unformatted raw text and automation tools. Writers? They work on Windows machines in Word – maybe in Google Docs if they are lucky. They don’t know about running build scripts, running Linux variants, Github, chat programs, HTML, RST, Wikis and the variants of markup languages.&lt;br /&gt;
What can we do to reduce the barrier-to-entry to writers?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Other doc types for OSGeoLive==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To date, our OSGeoLive community have been sustainably maintaining two of the easier documentation types: Project Overviews and Quickstarts. Established OSGeo projects also have documentation, in various stages of currency, completion, relevance, verbosity, and quality. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I believe we are ready to extend our consistency and best practices to some of the harder documentation types - such as tutorials, workshops and howtos. We should start by focusing on one of OSGeo’s flagship projects, such as QGIS or PostGIS. Join the project’s existing documentation initiatives. Provide feedback and improvements as required. Build templates and writing instructions which can be adopted by other projects. Integrate these with the OSGeoLive publishing and translation pipeline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Resources:&lt;br /&gt;
* To help position training with other courses, it helps to link back to a Body of Knowledge, such as the [https://gistbok.ucgis.org/ Body of Knowledge for Geographic Information Science and Technologies (GIS&amp;amp;T)].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==QGIS==&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.qgis.org QGIS], a desktop GIS application, is one of the OSGeo Foundation’s flagship projects with a broad developer and documentation community. QGIS's core documentation is comprehensive and there is a diverse ecosystem of organisations and people who have created QGIS workshops and training courses. However, it is challenging for documenters to keep up with QGIS’s rapid innovation and to sustainably keep the breadth of documentation current, consistent, and targetted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Season of Docs ideas for QGIS include:&lt;br /&gt;
* Get assistance from writers to create a simple and clear &amp;quot;quickstart&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
: WHY? Quoting [https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/seasonofdocs/2019-April/000032.html Andrew Jeffrey]: &amp;quot;Because 11 of the 26 threads started in 2019 on the Australian user group are related to getting started, loading and exporting data. People indicate that they have referred to the documentation but are still lost.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Review the structure of current documentation and provide a clear separation of tasks. &lt;br /&gt;
: WHY? Because there is a &amp;quot;Getting started&amp;quot; section in the user manual and also a separate documentation section on &amp;quot;Getting started with GIS&amp;quot; - Which route does a new user take? And is the best place for Getting started material to be nested in other material? A writer could assist with by defining the best practice structure.&lt;br /&gt;
* Writers to review the language and readability of the [https://docs.qgis.org/3.4/en/docs/documentation_guidelines/first_contribution.html QGIS Step by Step contribution] (This is documentation for making documentation contributions).&lt;br /&gt;
: WHY? This guide walks a user through making a contribution to the QGIS documentation. The process for maintaining documentation probably won't change soon, so let's reduce the contributor’s barrier to entry by making this section so accurate and clear that anyone can pick it up.&lt;br /&gt;
* Define a documentation vision, strategy and schedule.&lt;br /&gt;
: WHY? Quoting [https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/seasonofdocs/2019-April/000041.html Harrissou]: &amp;quot;I've been contributing to QGIS docs for years and one thing I miss is ... a direction. What are the priorities? ... [We should better] define schedules, plan when releases should be done. We do it well with the application, it could be nice to have the same for docs.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Triage and then manage [https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/issues QGIS's documentation issue tracker]. Audit the status of QGIS documentation. Publicly share status, strategy, and vision. This will help volunteers know how to engage, and what impact they can provide.&lt;br /&gt;
: WHY? Quoting [https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/seasonofdocs/2019-April/000041.html Harrissou]: &amp;quot;Most of our 400 issue reports are automatically generated by commits in QGIS code so we directly have what we should write about in the doc repo. But this becomes a weakness when:&lt;br /&gt;
:* there's not enough people to write (increasing number of issues),&lt;br /&gt;
:* there's no cleanup for duplicate issues (because of backports) or unrelated issues (eg API matters) --- we try to fix these ones&lt;br /&gt;
:* or the commit message is not clear enough for writers (who may not have the same technical knowledge as the developer). If we can get some clues on how to make devs write a more detailed description in noob language, big +1.&lt;br /&gt;
: I think that triaging the issue tracker and setting priorities and deadlines may greatly help in telling where a senior writer can help (in writing, I mean). I'm not sure any of us (at least me, I do not) have the actual big picture of the issue reports and can categorize them. We already have the necessary tags but now we need to use them. So this would be my task 1.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Consolidate core QGIS training material&lt;br /&gt;
: WHY? There are a number of geospatial training courses which cover a range of topics. Merging all these courses into a central source is not practical or desirable. However, there would be value in consolidating basics into a central base. This will be challenging, but valuable, and would require excellent skills in coordination, community building, and writing. Some of the content authors are already committed to sharing and supporting such an initiative. Others will likely come on board once momentum grows.&lt;br /&gt;
: Quoting [https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/seasonofdocs/2019-April/000004.html Jo Cook]: &amp;quot;I think there's a really big need for standard training materials- and also if possible the kind of training materials that could be used for schools, to try to break the monopoly that certain proprietary companies have on that area.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Develop some modular &amp;quot;open educational resource&amp;quot; (OER) training material (e.g., lab exercises) that can be rapidly adopted by faculty in universities to help them with their courses. This could be especially helpful for new, junior faculty in geography, geosciences, or other fields where they are being asked to create and teach new course preparations in the early days of their career and also trying to build and develop their research programs. Having available open access material and available datasets for adoption could lead to rapid adoption. Once a faculty develops a first cut at a course, that content is often used for many years afterwards. It would be useful to identify some standard courses that new faculty might be trying to build. A decision would need to be made on the correct Creative Commons license (I'd vote for CC BY-SA -- Attribution-Share-Alike).&lt;br /&gt;
:* The [http://spatialquerylab.com/foss4g-academy-curriculum/ Geoacademy group did this for several courses] and perhaps contacting them and seeing if that material can be updated (if needed), and made into modular components -- think buffet style for instructors to pick and choose labs for their courses -- could be a good set of content for a start. Introduction &lt;br /&gt;
:* Other, more advanced lab modules could be helpful too, particularly in areas such as advanced spatial analysis methods or new and quickly growing areas. I'm in the process of developing material for an Applications in Unmanned Aerial Systems course (geared toward use for environmental management). I have 5-6 labs and data already developed and they use QGIS. I'd welcome another collaborator on this in an effort to develop a specialized set of lab modules or an OSGeo published lab manual and data on UAS-based data analysis. -- Charlie Schweik&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==GeoNetwork==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://geonetwork-opensource.org/ GeoNetwork] is the leading open source metadata catalog for spatial data, and is an OSGeo Foundation project. It has read-the-docs style documentation separated by user, administrator, maintainer, and contribution guides. There is additional documentation within the GeoNetwork source code that could be replicated or incorporated into the main documentation. Documentation is primarily written by developers, many who have English as a second language. Consequently, there is a great opportunity to improve language, readability and structure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Documentation hasn't kept up with feature development. Some functionality has dated instructions and screenshots, and in places, there is only placeholder text or no documentation at all. This impacts user experience and leads to more questions on our user and developer mailing lists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We'd like to reduce the barrier to entry to adding documentation. We have started tagging &amp;quot;easy to resolve&amp;quot; issues in our GitHub repository but this has not gained much traction yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== GeoNetwork Current docs - Content review ====&lt;br /&gt;

Below is a speadsheet containing the current sections of the GeoNetwork Documentation (master).  This is a first pass overview that contains only obvious or already documented issues and omissions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is ''very'' cursory and only captures the most obvious problems. Each section needs a deeper look to judge what is out of date, incorrect or missing. Please feel free to contribute your own findings and fixes.  Grab a section and give it a thorough review.  Better yet contribute your corrections, improvements and examples  - what ever may be needed.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
==== Season of Docs ideas for GeoNetwork include: ====&lt;br /&gt;
* Geonetwork team to scope and create issues for incomplete documentation (drawing from doc review and pull requests).&lt;br /&gt;
* Geonetwork team to reach out to, encourage and support co-contributions to documentation from the user base.&lt;br /&gt;
* Writer to reorganize documentation to clearly separate user, administrator and developer sections, removing duplicated content.&lt;br /&gt;
* Writer to provide templates and writing instructions to help reduce barrier-to-entry and improve quality of developer's contributing content.&lt;br /&gt;
* Writers to review language and readability.&lt;br /&gt;
* Writers to follow existing quickstarts, upgrade and improve.&lt;br /&gt;

==Improve OSGeoLive writing instructions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We’ve recently updated our OSGeoLive process for generating documentation, and have moved our documentation repository from MediaWiki to trac. We appear to have introduced a few gaps in the move. In particular, the new docs don’t reference our specific writing instructions which are embedding in [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/master/doc/overview/postgis_overview.rst Project Overview] and [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/master/doc/quickstart/udig_quickstart.rst Quickstart] reference documents. A nice discrete task would be to review the old and new processes and update the new docs to ensure they still contain relevant information, and are easy to follow.&lt;br /&gt;

==New OSGeoLive Quickstarts and Overviews:==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For our 2019 OSGeoLive release we hope to attract a number of projects which have recently signed up as OSGeo Foundation Community projects. These projects will need help writing their Project Overviews and Quickstarts. Existing project documentation also needs to be updated to align with the latest releases. (Reviewing 50 Quickstarts to ensure they still work is a time-consuming exercise).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Simplify OSGeoLive’s doc writing process==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like most open source projects, OSGeoLive templates and content have primarily been created by developers (and a few users), without access to the insights provided by trained technical writers and teachers. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johanna Botman explains the challenges our approach has introduced. She started her working career as an English teacher, then moved into IT, website design, and is now uses geospatial software, as a geospatial officer at a local council. She observed:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:: Some of the issues relating to getting started [with writing project documentation] are about bridging the gap between developers and writers. Developers write code in coding tools. They collaborate, they are used to versioning and are at home with unformatted raw text and automation tools. Writers? They work on Windows machines in Word - maybe in Google Docs if they are lucky. They don’t know about running build scripts, running Linux variants, Github, chat programs, HTML, RST formats, wikis and the variants of markup languages. &lt;br /&gt;
:: It’s one thing to work with the open source software, another to write about it, and a third thing to work out how to write it so that it fits in with the project. It seems as if the developers have created the writing system in a way that they are used to working, not necessarily in a way that works for writers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are many ways we can help solve this problem, from small to large:&lt;br /&gt;
* Technical writers can try using our existing writing guides, and document anything that is difficult to understand, and help us fix it.&lt;br /&gt;
* We can revisit and potentially improve the tools and processes we use. [https://www.gitbook.com/ Gitbook] looks promising. We have already adopted [https://www.transifex.com/ Transifex] for translations. Some research into options and what others are doing would help here.&lt;br /&gt;
* Processes, tools and how-to-write guides could both draw from international initiatives, and if we find ourselves to be world leading, then we should feed our insights back into international best practices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Define an authoritative style guide==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It would be great if there was a compact, authoritative style guide (with different configurations), which could be selected in a similar manner to the [https://creativecommons.org/choose/ selection of a Creative Commons license]. It should be freely available and coordinated by a non-profit community. (One version might be too idealistic, maybe we need a few). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Benefits provided:&lt;br /&gt;
* Reduced time learning and maintaining multiple style guides.&lt;br /&gt;
* Improved documentation quality and consistency, resulting in improved reading comprehension.&lt;br /&gt;
* Easier for writing tools to support the guide(s).&lt;br /&gt;
* Make it easier for projects to set and apply writing standards. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Resources:&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://developers.google.com/style/ Google developer documentation style guide].&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/docguide/style.html GeoServer style guide] (also referenced by GeoNode)&lt;br /&gt;
* The Australian government [https://www.themandarin.com.au/102797-the-first-new-edition-of-the-commonwealth-style-manual-since-2002-is-in-the-works/?utm_campaign=TheJuice&amp;amp;utm_medium=email&amp;amp;utm_source=newsletter has announced] that we are updating our style guide. [http://cameronshorter.blogspot.com/2019/01/toward-universal-style-manual.html I’ve suggested collaboration].&lt;br /&gt;
* TBD: What other style guides should we mention?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==OSGeoLive to apply a style guide==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To date, the OSGeoLive team haven’t selected a style guide. It would be good to get advice from technical writers on which we should choose. We potentially should retrospectively clean up our public facing documentation in line with the selected guide. I’m aware there are tools for auto-checking documentation quality. What options are available for open source projects?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Open Source Geospatial Introductory Workshop==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It wouldn’t take much to create a practical 3-hour introductory workshop introducing ~ six to eight of the leading Open Source geospatial applications. It would be a valuable contribution to many spatial conferences. It could use the existing OSGeoLive distribution along with its installed data and can draw upon existing Quickstarts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The workshop should make use of best practice template structure for presenting, and set up a template which can be expanded out to other OSGeo projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Resources:&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/overview.html OSGeoLive Quickstarts].&lt;br /&gt;
* Nicolas Roelandt, Astrid Emde are proposing such a workshop for the Free and Open Source for Geospatial conference (FOSS4G).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Define an authoritative Code of Conduct==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most conferences and open source communities adopt a Code of Conduct and/or a Diversity Statement. It would be great of the multiple variants were consolidated, and selectable via a tick-box selection process, (like the [https://creativecommons.org/choose/ selection of a Creative Commons license]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Resources:&lt;br /&gt;
* I [https://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=Diversity&amp;amp;oldid=84020 reviewed numerous Code of Conducts] when co-authoring the [https://www.osgeo.org/code_of_conduct/ The OSGeo Foundation’s Code of Conduct].&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://www.contributor-covenant.org/ Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct], which has attracted a lot of projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Jupyter Notebooks as an OSGeoLive documentation type==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jupyter Notebook is a web application that allows you to create and share documents that contain live code, equations, visualizations and explanatory text. It is a useful communication medium for explaining technical concepts. We included Jupyter Notebooks on prior OSGeoLive releases, but we didn’t have a maintainer to bring the documentation up to the standards we expect for OSGeoLive documents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It would be good to:&lt;br /&gt;
# Have Project Overviews and Quickstarts updated to our quality standards, so we can re-introduce Jupyter Notebooks.&lt;br /&gt;
# Consider using Jupyter Notebooks as another documentation type supported by OSGeoLive - which would mean developing templates for its use by other OSGeo projects, and attracting maintainers from these projects to create material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Resources:&lt;br /&gt;
* OSGeoLive 11.0 was the latest release which includes [https://live.osgeo.org/archive/11.0/en/overview/jupyter_overview.html Jupyter Notebook docs] &lt;br /&gt;
* [https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-Notebooks OSGeoLive repository of Jupyter Notebooks]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tweak the OSGeoLive Presentation==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We maintain [https://live.osgeo.org/en/presentation.html#/ a lightning presentation of the ~ 50 projects on OSGeoLive]. It is a challenge to keep this presentation concise enough to fit within a conference presentation time-slot and could do with tweaking.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
''From simple to grandiose writing tasks which will improve OSGeo projects, and open source in general. It includes ideas and first steps for tech writers, software users and those participating in Google’s [https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/ Season-of-Docs].''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We, the communities behind the [https://www.osgeo.org/ OSGeo Foundation’s] open source geospatial projects, are positioned to help solve big documentation challenges faced by all open source projects. We can achieve this by continuing as we are doing now, with ordinary people, gifting small bursts of effort, toward discrete and achievable tasks, to collectively achieve an extraordinary impact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Leveraging Google’s Season-of-Docs=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Google’s [https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/ Season-of-Docs] is an initiative to bring the open source and technical writer communities together to write documentation. The OSGeo Foundation will be allocated one paid tech writer, which we are [#People_keen_to_take_part matching with multiple volunteers]. We propose we use this initiative as a focal point to attract a collaborative community to pilot big ideas. In particular:&lt;br /&gt;
* Open source projects face sustainability challenges. How will docs created during the Season-Of-Docs be maintained long term?&lt;br /&gt;
* Can a writer’s expertise be amplified to help community users and developers write good docs more effectively and efficiently?&lt;br /&gt;
* Could best practices developed in one project be applied to the greater open source eco-system? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We propose to focus on one (or more) writing initiatives, for one of our leading OSGeo projects. Goals should focus on:&lt;br /&gt;
* Being directly applicable for the project.&lt;br /&gt;
* Be captured as a template, which can be easily applied to other OSGeo projects. Ideally, this will grow into an initiative which is of value to all open source projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Key roles sought==&lt;br /&gt;
Our OSGeo foundation can absorb many more writers than the one writer who will be paid by Google. Want to join us?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Volunteer Writer''': As someone keen to give back to open source through docs, volunteer to work with like-minded people. Mentor and be mentored. Tackle anything from simple fixes through to world-leading thought leadership.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Selection criteria for paid role ==&lt;br /&gt;
For the paid [https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/tech-writer-guide senior technical writer role], we are looking for someone to help us reach our goals of being impactful, sustainable and effective.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
About you:&lt;br /&gt;
* You likely have had years of experience working as a senior technical writer or equivalent. You are familiar with various style guides, writing styles, information design, writing tools, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
* It will be helpful if you understand the basics of software development, including:&lt;br /&gt;
**  Installing software on Linux, Windows and Mac, from the command line&lt;br /&gt;
** Using basic git and GitHub functionality to update documentation&lt;br /&gt;
** Writing in wiki, markdown and rST formats&lt;br /&gt;
* You are motivated by more than the paid stipend. You intend to stick around and amplify the long term impact of your contributions.&lt;br /&gt;
* You are nice and friendly, in line with our [https://www.osgeo.org/code_of_conduct/ code-of-conduct]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In responding, consider:&lt;br /&gt;
* How will your contributions be valuable beyond the SeasonOfDocs period, beyond the initiative you take on, beyond the specific project(s) you help?&lt;br /&gt;
* How will you be helping others become more effective? Look at profiles of volunteers interested so far.&lt;br /&gt;
* How would you suggest we shape our communication strategy? &lt;br /&gt;
* Will you be able to help us find and then become involved in best practice documentation communities? You might already be part of such communities.&lt;br /&gt;
* Google offers standard-length (3 months) and long-running (6 months) options (for the same stipend funds). The longer timeframe is better suited to working with volunteers and our goal of sustainability.&lt;br /&gt;
* It will be challenging for us to have the bandwidth to assess whether you are both competent and will sustain your involvement long term. Are you able to reference your volunteer involvement in other communities? How can you concisely reference your communication expertise?&lt;br /&gt;
* Involvement in writing communities, such as [https://www.writethedocs.org/ WriteTheDocs] would be considered valuable or worth referencing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Does all this sound exciting, but you suspect you don’t have the bandwidth or expertise for the paid senior technical writer role? Why not join our volunteers?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=The back story=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For background on the value of communicators, along with ideas on the sort of communities that have proven to be successful in the past, we suggest starting with [http://cameronshorter.blogspot.com/2019/02/inspiring-techies-to-become-great.html this article on inspiring techies to become great writers].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Ideas=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Best practice templates==&lt;br /&gt;
Are you a tech writer keen to help build a suite of writing templates and instructions for open source projects? There doesn't seem to be broadly applicable templates, and we suspect they'll need to be built as an open project. Are you interested in collaborating with and enabling other techies and writers? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Good documentation benefits from access to cross-disciplinary skills. Expertise is typically spread across developers, users, domain experts, teachers, technical writers, graphic artists, and translators. Ramp-up time is high for any group attempting to learn another’s skill-set. This creates a significant barrier to entry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our OSGeoLive initiative has [http://cameronshorter.blogspot.com/2019/02/inspiring-techies-to-become-great.html achieved] sustained, cross-domain collaboration by capturing writer’s expertise within templates with clear and punchy writing instructions. These templates were then provided to developers and domain experts. By using an outline/write/review/translate/publish process we’ve achieved significant efficiencies by allowing experts to focus only on the areas they know best. However, OSGeoLive has only tackled the Project Overview and Quickstarts. Geospatial projects which have tackled harder documentation types haven’t addressed cross-project consistency.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How can we align our OSGeoLive writing initiatives with other projects and help build best practice templates for key documentation types? This will be valuable if addressed across all our OSGeo geospatial projects. It will be significantly more valuable if extended to an international, cross-domain level. (It will be challenging to attract momentum, but good groundwork is in place, and if implemented it would have a huge positive impact.)&lt;br /&gt;

==Reduce writer barrier to entry==&lt;br /&gt;
To attract contributors, projects should reduce ramp-up time; and good documentation is key. Poetically, the documenters who are most qualified to help are typically the least technical, and face the greatest ramp-up time. Some of the issues relating to getting started are about bridging the gap between developers and writers. &lt;br /&gt;
As explained by a writer: &lt;br /&gt;
: Developers write code in coding tools. They collaborate, they are used to versioning and are at home with unformatted raw text and automation tools. Writers? They work on Windows machines in Word – maybe in Google Docs if they are lucky. They don’t know about running build scripts, running Linux variants, Github, chat programs, HTML, RST, Wikis and the variants of markup languages.&lt;br /&gt;
What can we do to reduce the barrier-to-entry to writers?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Other doc types for OSGeoLive==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To date, our OSGeoLive community have been sustainably maintaining two of the easier documentation types: Project Overviews and Quickstarts. Established OSGeo projects also have documentation, in various stages of currency, completion, relevance, verbosity, and quality. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I believe we are ready to extend our consistency and best practices to some of the harder documentation types - such as tutorials, workshops and howtos. We should start by focusing on one of OSGeo’s flagship projects, such as QGIS or PostGIS. Join the project’s existing documentation initiatives. Provide feedback and improvements as required. Build templates and writing instructions which can be adopted by other projects. Integrate these with the OSGeoLive publishing and translation pipeline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Resources:&lt;br /&gt;
* To help position training with other courses, it helps to link back to a Body of Knowledge, such as the [https://gistbok.ucgis.org/ Body of Knowledge for Geographic Information Science and Technologies (GIS&amp;amp;T)].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==QGIS==&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.qgis.org QGIS], a desktop GIS application, is one of the OSGeo Foundation’s flagship projects with a broad developer and documentation community. QGIS's core documentation is comprehensive and there is a diverse ecosystem of organisations and people who have created QGIS workshops and training courses. However, it is challenging for documenters to keep up with QGIS’s rapid innovation and to sustainably keep the breadth of documentation current, consistent, and targetted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Season of Docs ideas for QGIS include:&lt;br /&gt;
* Get assistance from writers to create a simple and clear &amp;quot;quickstart&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
: WHY? Quoting [https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/seasonofdocs/2019-April/000032.html Andrew Jeffrey]: &amp;quot;Because 11 of the 26 threads started in 2019 on the Australian user group are related to getting started, loading and exporting data. People indicate that they have referred to the documentation but are still lost.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Review the structure of current documentation and provide a clear separation of tasks. &lt;br /&gt;
: WHY? Because there is a &amp;quot;Getting started&amp;quot; section in the user manual and also a separate documentation section on &amp;quot;Getting started with GIS&amp;quot; - Which route does a new user take? And is the best place for Getting started material to be nested in other material? A writer could assist with by defining the best practice structure.&lt;br /&gt;
* Writers to review the language and readability of the [https://docs.qgis.org/3.4/en/docs/documentation_guidelines/first_contribution.html QGIS Step by Step contribution] (This is documentation for making documentation contributions).&lt;br /&gt;
: WHY? This guide walks a user through making a contribution to the QGIS documentation. The process for maintaining documentation probably won't change soon, so let's reduce the contributor’s barrier to entry by making this section so accurate and clear that anyone can pick it up.&lt;br /&gt;
* Define a documentation vision, strategy and schedule.&lt;br /&gt;
: WHY? Quoting [https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/seasonofdocs/2019-April/000041.html Harrissou]: &amp;quot;I've been contributing to QGIS docs for years and one thing I miss is ... a direction. What are the priorities? ... [We should better] define schedules, plan when releases should be done. We do it well with the application, it could be nice to have the same for docs.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Triage and then manage [https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/issues QGIS's documentation issue tracker]. Audit the status of QGIS documentation. Publicly share status, strategy, and vision. This will help volunteers know how to engage, and what impact they can provide.&lt;br /&gt;
: WHY? Quoting [https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/seasonofdocs/2019-April/000041.html Harrissou]: &amp;quot;Most of our 400 issue reports are automatically generated by commits in QGIS code so we directly have what we should write about in the doc repo. But this becomes a weakness when:&lt;br /&gt;
:* there's not enough people to write (increasing number of issues),&lt;br /&gt;
:* there's no cleanup for duplicate issues (because of backports) or unrelated issues (eg API matters) --- we try to fix these ones&lt;br /&gt;
:* or the commit message is not clear enough for writers (who may not have the same technical knowledge as the developer). If we can get some clues on how to make devs write a more detailed description in noob language, big +1.&lt;br /&gt;
: I think that triaging the issue tracker and setting priorities and deadlines may greatly help in telling where a senior writer can help (in writing, I mean). I'm not sure any of us (at least me, I do not) have the actual big picture of the issue reports and can categorize them. We already have the necessary tags but now we need to use them. So this would be my task 1.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Consolidate core QGIS training material&lt;br /&gt;
: WHY? There are a number of geospatial training courses which cover a range of topics. Merging all these courses into a central source is not practical or desirable. However, there would be value in consolidating basics into a central base. This will be challenging, but valuable, and would require excellent skills in coordination, community building, and writing. Some of the content authors are already committed to sharing and supporting such an initiative. Others will likely come on board once momentum grows.&lt;br /&gt;
: Quoting [https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/seasonofdocs/2019-April/000004.html Jo Cook]: &amp;quot;I think there's a really big need for standard training materials- and also if possible the kind of training materials that could be used for schools, to try to break the monopoly that certain proprietary companies have on that area.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Develop some modular &amp;quot;open educational resource&amp;quot; (OER) training material (e.g., lab exercises) that can be rapidly adopted by faculty in universities to help them with their courses. This could be especially helpful for new, junior faculty in geography, geosciences, or other fields where they are being asked to create and teach new course preparations in the early days of their career and also trying to build and develop their research programs. Having available open access material and available datasets for adoption could lead to rapid adoption. Once a faculty develops a first cut at a course, that content is often used for many years afterwards. It would be useful to identify some standard courses that new faculty might be trying to build. A decision would need to be made on the correct Creative Commons license (I'd vote for CC BY-SA -- Attribution-Share-Alike).&lt;br /&gt;
:* The [http://spatialquerylab.com/foss4g-academy-curriculum/ Geoacademy group did this for several courses] and perhaps contacting them and seeing if that material can be updated (if needed), and made into modular components -- think buffet style for instructors to pick and choose labs for their courses -- could be a good set of content for a start. Introduction &lt;br /&gt;
:* Other, more advanced lab modules could be helpful too, particularly in areas such as advanced spatial analysis methods or new and quickly growing areas. I'm in the process of developing material for an Applications in Unmanned Aerial Systems course (geared toward use for environmental management). I have 5-6 labs and data already developed and they use QGIS. I'd welcome another collaborator on this in an effort to develop a specialized set of lab modules or an OSGeo published lab manual and data on UAS-based data analysis. -- Charlie Schweik&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==GeoNetwork==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://geonetwork-opensource.org/ GeoNetwork] is the leading open source metadata catalog for spatial data, and is an OSGeo Foundation project. It has read-the-docs style documentation separated by user, administrator, maintainer, and contribution guides. There is additional documentation within the GeoNetwork source code that could be replicated or incorporated into the main documentation. Documentation is primarily written by developers, many who have English as a second language. Consequently, there is a great opportunity to improve language, readability and structure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Documentation hasn't kept up with feature development. Some functionality has dated instructions and screenshots, and in places, there is only placeholder text or no documentation at all. This impacts user experience and leads to more questions on our user and developer mailing lists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We'd like to reduce the barrier to entry to adding documentation. We have started tagging &amp;quot;easy to resolve&amp;quot; issues in our GitHub repository but this has not gained much traction yet.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Season of Docs ideas for GeoNetwork include:&lt;br /&gt;
* Geonetwork team to scope and create issues for incomplete documentation (drawing from doc review and pull requests).&lt;br /&gt;
* Geonetwork team to reach out to, encourage and support co-contributions to documentation from the user base.&lt;br /&gt;
* Writer to reorganize documentation to clearly separate user, administrator and developer sections, removing duplicated content.&lt;br /&gt;
* Writer to provide templates and writing instructions to help reduce barrier-to-entry and improve quality of developer's contributing content.&lt;br /&gt;
* Writers to review language and readability.&lt;br /&gt;
* Writers to follow existing quickstarts, upgrade and improve.&lt;br /&gt;
* Writers to work through documentation issue list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Resources:&lt;br /&gt;
* Source code of existing english docs: https://github.com/geonetwork/doc (translations are managed via transifex)&lt;br /&gt;
* Existing docs: https://geonetwork-opensource.org/docs.html&lt;br /&gt;
* Extra developer docs: https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/wiki#documentation&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Other OSGeo Project Docs ==&lt;br /&gt;
There are 50+ open source geospatial (OSGeo) projects which are related and good candidates for joining this initiative.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Resources:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Improve OSGeoLive writing instructions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We’ve recently updated our OSGeoLive process for generating documentation, and have moved our documentation repository from MediaWiki to trac. We appear to have introduced a few gaps in the move. In particular, the new docs don’t reference our specific writing instructions which are embedding in [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/master/doc/overview/postgis_overview.rst Project Overview] and [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/master/doc/quickstart/udig_quickstart.rst Quickstart] reference documents. A nice discrete task would be to review the old and new processes and update the new docs to ensure they still contain relevant information, and are easy to follow.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==New OSGeoLive Quickstarts and Overviews:==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For our 2019 OSGeoLive release we hope to attract a number of projects which have recently signed up as OSGeo Foundation Community projects. These projects will need help writing their Project Overviews and Quickstarts. Existing project documentation also needs to be updated to align with the latest releases. (Reviewing 50 Quickstarts to ensure they still work is a time-consuming exercise).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Resources:&lt;br /&gt;
* Ask OSGeoLive team about which new projects are joining OSGeoLive&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeoLive_AddProject#Documentation Old, OSGeoLive documentation processes]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Simplify OSGeoLive’s doc writing process==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like most open source projects, OSGeoLive templates and content have primarily been created by developers (and a few users), without access to the insights provided by trained technical writers and teachers. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Johanna Botman explains the challenges our approach has introduced. She started her working career as an English teacher, then moved into IT, website design, and is now uses geospatial software, as a geospatial officer at a local council. She observed:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:: Some of the issues relating to getting started [with writing project documentation] are about bridging the gap between developers and writers. Developers write code in coding tools. They collaborate, they are used to versioning and are at home with unformatted raw text and automation tools. Writers? They work on Windows machines in Word - maybe in Google Docs if they are lucky. They don’t know about running build scripts, running Linux variants, Github, chat programs, HTML, RST formats, wikis and the variants of markup languages. &lt;br /&gt;
:: It’s one thing to work with the open source software, another to write about it, and a third thing to work out how to write it so that it fits in with the project. It seems as if the developers have created the writing system in a way that they are used to working, not necessarily in a way that works for writers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are many ways we can help solve this problem, from small to large:&lt;br /&gt;
* Technical writers can try using our existing writing guides, and document anything that is difficult to understand, and help us fix it.&lt;br /&gt;
* We can revisit and potentially improve the tools and processes we use. [https://www.gitbook.com/ Gitbook] looks promising. We have already adopted [https://www.transifex.com/ Transifex] for translations. Some research into options and what others are doing would help here.&lt;br /&gt;
* Processes, tools and how-to-write guides could both draw from international initiatives, and if we find ourselves to be world leading, then we should feed our insights back into international best practices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Define an authoritative style guide==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It would be great if there was a compact, authoritative style guide (with different configurations), which could be selected in a similar manner to the [https://creativecommons.org/choose/ selection of a Creative Commons license]. It should be freely available and coordinated by a non-profit community. (One version might be too idealistic, maybe we need a few). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Benefits provided:&lt;br /&gt;
* Reduced time learning and maintaining multiple style guides.&lt;br /&gt;
* Improved documentation quality and consistency, resulting in improved reading comprehension.&lt;br /&gt;
* Easier for writing tools to support the guide(s).&lt;br /&gt;
* Make it easier for projects to set and apply writing standards. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Resources:&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://developers.google.com/style/ Google developer documentation style guide].&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/docguide/style.html GeoServer style guide] (also referenced by GeoNode)&lt;br /&gt;
* The Australian government [https://www.themandarin.com.au/102797-the-first-new-edition-of-the-commonwealth-style-manual-since-2002-is-in-the-works/?utm_campaign=TheJuice&amp;amp;utm_medium=email&amp;amp;utm_source=newsletter has announced] that we are updating our style guide. [http://cameronshorter.blogspot.com/2019/01/toward-universal-style-manual.html I’ve suggested collaboration].&lt;br /&gt;
* TBD: What other style guides should we mention?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==OSGeoLive to apply a style guide==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To date, the OSGeoLive team haven’t selected a style guide. It would be good to get advice from technical writers on which we should choose. We potentially should retrospectively clean up our public facing documentation in line with the selected guide. I’m aware there are tools for auto-checking documentation quality. What options are available for open source projects?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Open Source Geospatial Introductory Workshop==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It wouldn’t take much to create a practical 3-hour introductory workshop introducing ~ six to eight of the leading Open Source geospatial applications. It would be a valuable contribution to many spatial conferences. It could use the existing OSGeoLive distribution along with its installed data and can draw upon existing Quickstarts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The workshop should make use of best practice template structure for presenting, and set up a template which can be expanded out to other OSGeo projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Resources:&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/overview.html OSGeoLive Quickstarts].&lt;br /&gt;
* Nicolas Roelandt, Astrid Emde are proposing such a workshop for the Free and Open Source for Geospatial conference (FOSS4G).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Define an authoritative Code of Conduct==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most conferences and open source communities adopt a Code of Conduct and/or a Diversity Statement. It would be great of the multiple variants were consolidated, and selectable via a tick-box selection process, (like the [https://creativecommons.org/choose/ selection of a Creative Commons license]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Resources:&lt;br /&gt;
* I [https://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=Diversity&amp;amp;oldid=84020 reviewed numerous Code of Conducts] when co-authoring the [https://www.osgeo.org/code_of_conduct/ The OSGeo Foundation’s Code of Conduct].&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://www.contributor-covenant.org/ Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct], which has attracted a lot of projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Jupyter Notebooks as an OSGeoLive documentation type==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jupyter Notebook is a web application that allows you to create and share documents that contain live code, equations, visualizations and explanatory text. It is a useful communication medium for explaining technical concepts. We included Jupyter Notebooks on prior OSGeoLive releases, but we didn’t have a maintainer to bring the documentation up to the standards we expect for OSGeoLive documents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It would be good to:&lt;br /&gt;
# Have Project Overviews and Quickstarts updated to our quality standards, so we can re-introduce Jupyter Notebooks.&lt;br /&gt;
# Consider using Jupyter Notebooks as another documentation type supported by OSGeoLive - which would mean developing templates for its use by other OSGeo projects, and attracting maintainers from these projects to create material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Resources:&lt;br /&gt;
* OSGeoLive 11.0 was the latest release which includes [https://live.osgeo.org/archive/11.0/en/overview/jupyter_overview.html Jupyter Notebook docs] &lt;br /&gt;
* [https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-Notebooks OSGeoLive repository of Jupyter Notebooks]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tweak the OSGeoLive Presentation==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We maintain [https://live.osgeo.org/en/presentation.html#/ a lightning presentation of the ~ 50 projects on OSGeoLive]. It is a challenge to keep this presentation concise enough to fit within a conference presentation time-slot and could do with tweaking.&lt;br /&gt;

After twelve successful years, we'll continue the OSGeo &amp;quot;hacking&amp;quot; event in Bolsena in an [http://www.conventobolsena.org/ Italian monastery] ([http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=42.646585&amp;amp;mlon=11.99335&amp;amp;zoom=14&amp;amp;layers=M see map location], and videos: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wrZrK64UIw 2008-video],  [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxox3AsjH6Q 2009-video] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Vjx06Rlols 2010-video]. The monastery is overlooking Lago Bolsena and offers space to about 25 people in small bedrooms :-) . It is one of the coolest places for such an event. Quiet, isolated, simple and serene. Have a look yourself, including looking at the photo gallery.&lt;br /&gt;
For what the food concerns, we cook elaborate meals you will definitely enjoy :-) . There's a large dining space, but we will eat outside overlooking the lake if weather permits (very likely in June).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The all inclusive cost will be 550 Euro (Excl VAT) per person for the full week. You can stay all seven days and food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) is included in the price. As in previous years, we will go out for a city visit and a dinner on one of the evenings (also included).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The event will take place during the whole week (5 days), although the emphasis will probably be Monday to Friday for most participants.&lt;br /&gt;
Please contact me if you have questions about this event ([[User:ticheler |Jeroen Ticheler]])&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Registered Attendees ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those participating, you will need to make the payment of 550 Euro (Excl VAT) in advance to GeoCat bv to guarantee your place. Please contact me by email so I can send you the invoice and bank details. I've no problems if you later need to change as long as you make sure there's someone taking your place :-)&lt;br /&gt;

=== Sponsoring ===&lt;br /&gt;
We are always welcoming sponsors!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== How to arrive to the Monastery ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The closest airports are the Roma airports (Ciampino and Fiumincino).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Rome to the monastery there is 135 km aproximately.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no railway to Bolsena.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Fiumicino to Rome you can take the train [http://www.adr.it/web/aeroporti-di-roma-en-/pax-fco-train METROPOLITANO FR1].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Rome you can take a bus (cotral http://www.cotralspa.it/ENG/capolinea.asp) to Viterbo and other bus from viterbo to Bolsena (9am &amp;amp; 7.30pm).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alternatively you can take a train from Rome to Orvieto and take a taxi from Orvieto to Bolsena. Orvieto Taxi info: &lt;br /&gt;
1) Paolo of 'Gulliver Taxi' gullirent@alice.it tel 0763 302969 or mobile 330 477399. &lt;br /&gt;
2) Luigi gigitaxi@libero.it tel 338 9790846. Luigi speaks limited English&lt;br /&gt;
3) OrvietoTaxi : http://www.orvietotaxi.it  simone@orvietotaxi.it is a good option (by Just)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You could also walk from Orvieto to Bolsena via routes such as the one shown [http://www.inorvieto.it/en/visit/nature_routes/from_orvieto_to_bolsena.html#orvieto here] - about 14km if you take the shortest route. :-) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are 2 buses a day from Orvieto to Bolsena, except on Sunday, there is NO bus on Sunday. More info on https://www.rome2rio.com/map/Orvieto/Bolsena#r/Bus&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Bolsena main street to the Monastery is approximately 1 km.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It could be interesting to rent a private bus or several cars to move from Rome to the Monastery and from the Monastery to Rome.&lt;br /&gt;

; When: [http://www.osgeo.org/node/1381 31 May - 6 June 2015]&lt;br /&gt;
; Where: [http://tinyurl.com/2t6zby Bolsena - Italy]&lt;br /&gt;
; Agenda: &lt;br /&gt;
* [[Agenda 2015]]&lt;br /&gt;
* https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/wiki/Bolsena2015&lt;br /&gt;
; Previous years: [[OSGeo Hacking event|2008]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2009|2009]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2010|2010]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2011|2011]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2012|2012]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2013|2013]] and [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2014|2014]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After seven successful years, we'll continue the OSGeo &amp;quot;hacking&amp;quot; event in Bolsena in an [http://www.conventobolsena.org/ Italian monastery] ([http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=42.646585&amp;amp;mlon=11.99335&amp;amp;zoom=14&amp;amp;layers=M see map location], and videos: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wrZrK64UIw 2008-video],  [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxox3AsjH6Q 2009-video] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Vjx06Rlols 2010-video]. The monastery is overlooking Lago Bolsena and offers space to about 25 people in small bedrooms :-) . It is one of the coolest places for such an event. Quiet, isolated, simple and serene. There's a good wireless and wired internet connection, further improved this year. It should be perfect for git, IRC and mail. Have a look yourself, including looking at the photo gallery.&lt;br /&gt;
For what the food concerns, we will have a cook who will take care of us :-) . There's a large dining space, but we will eat outside overlooking the lake if weather permits (very likely in June).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The all inclusive cost will be 550 Euro (Excl VAT) per person for the full week. You can stay all seven days and food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) is included in the price. As in previous years, we will go out for a city visit and a dinner on one of the evenings (also included).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The event will take place during the whole week (7 days), although the emphasis will probably be Monday to Friday for most participants.&lt;br /&gt;
Please contact me if you have questions about this event ([[User:ticheler |Jeroen Ticheler]])&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sponsoring ===&lt;br /&gt;
We are always welcoming sponsors!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== How to arrive to the Monastery ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The closest airports are the Roma airports (Ciampino and Fiumincino).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Rome to the monastery there is 135 km aproximately.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no railway to Bolsena.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Fiumicino to Rome you can take the train [http://www.adr.it/web/aeroporti-di-roma-en-/pax-fco-train METROPOLITANO FR1].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Rome you can take a bus (cotral http://www.cotralspa.it/ENG/capolinea.asp) to Viterbo and other bus from viterbo to Bolsena (9am &amp;amp; 7.30pm).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alternatively you can take a train from Rome to Orvieto and take a taxi from Orvieto to Bolsena. Orvieto Taxi info: &lt;br /&gt;
1) Paolo of 'Gulliver Taxi' gullirent@alice.it tel 0763 302969 or mobile 330 477399. &lt;br /&gt;
2) Luigi gigitaxi@libero.it tel 338 9790846. Luigi speaks limited English&lt;br /&gt;
3) OrvietoTaxi : http://www.orvietotaxi.it  simone@orvietotaxi.it is a good option (by Just)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You could also walk from Orvieto to Bolsena via routes such as the one shown [http://www.inorvieto.it/en/visit/nature_routes/from_orvieto_to_bolsena.html#orvieto here] - about 14km if you take the shortest route. :-) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Monday to Friday there is a bus each hour but Sunday there are very few buses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Bolsena main street to the Monastery is aproximately 1 km.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It could be interesting to rent a private bus or several cars to move from Rome to the Monastery and from the Monastery to Rome.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Code Sprint - what's that?  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A code sprint is about getting a group together to work on Open Source software, sitting around a table and sharing ideas. It's not just about writing code, as you know a project has many needs including documentation, testing, and providing feedback. What a better way to give feedback and give back to the project that you love than to spend a day with the project's developers. There are roles needed to be filled, no matter what your expertise. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With such a short timeframe (one day) you should probably use this page to set a specific goal for your project. But don't worry, if all you get done is actually sitting at the same table with the project's developers and talking about the next release, that is also great&amp;amp;nbsp;:)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Who ==&lt;br /&gt;
All participants are welcome and you don't need to register or attend FOSS4G to attend the Code Sprint (registering here on the wiki is appreciated for planning purposes like coffee and food).  Some projects will prefer attendees who have previously engaged with the project and already have a working development environment on their computer (i.e. not all project will welcome helping you set up your development environment).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Where &amp;amp;amp; When  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The day after the main conference ('''Saturday, September 13th''' 2014) has been set aside for the Code Sprint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sprint will be in the [http://eliotcenterportland.org Eliot Center] ([http://osm.org/go/WIDlUtpOQ-?m=&amp;amp;relation=186579 OSM]) along side [http://wherecamppdx.org WhereCampPDX].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== OSGeo Hacking event in a monastery near Bolsena (10-16 June 2012) ==&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Event Owner]]: [[User:ticheler | Jeroen Ticheler]]&lt;br /&gt;
; When: [http://www.osgeo.org/node/1221 10-16 June 2012] (Note: Date change!)&lt;br /&gt;
; Where: [http://tinyurl.com/2t6zby Bolsena - Italy]&lt;br /&gt;
; Agenda: [[Agenda 2012]]&lt;br /&gt;
; Previous years: [[OSGeo Hacking event|2008]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2009|2009]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2010|2010]] and [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2011|2011]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After four successful years, we'll continue the OSGeo &amp;quot;hacking&amp;quot; event in Bolsena in an [http://www.conventobolsena.org/ Italian monastery] ([http://tinyurl.com/2t6zby see map location], and videos: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wrZrK64UIw 2008-video],  [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxox3AsjH6Q 2009-video] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Vjx06Rlols 2010-video]. The monastery is overlooking Lago Bolsena and offers space to about 25 people in small bedrooms :-) . It is one of the coolest places for such an event. Quiet, isolated, simple and serene. There's a good wireless and wired internet connection, further improved this year. It should be perfect for SVN, IRC and mail. Have a look yourself, including looking at the photo gallery.&lt;br /&gt;
For what the food concerns, we will have a cook who will take care of us :-) . There's a large dining space, but we will eat outside overlooking the lake if weather permits (very likely in June).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The all inclusive cost will be 550 Euro (Excl VAT) per person for the full week. You can stay all seven days and food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) is included in the price. As in previous years, we will go out for a city visit and a dinner on one of the evenings (also included).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The event will take place during the whole week (7 days), although the emphasis will probably be Monday to Friday for most participants.&lt;br /&gt;
Please contact me if you have questions about this event ([[User:ticheler |Jeroen Ticheler]])&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: [1] there are options to do outdoor activities like tracking. A guide can be organized and the cost is very reasonable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sponsoring ===&lt;br /&gt;
We are always welcoming sponsors!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== How to arrive to the Monastery ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The closest airports are the Roma airports (Ciampino and Fiumincino).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Rome to the monastery there is 135 km aproximately.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no railway to Bolsena.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Fiumicino to Rome you can take the train [http://www.adr.it/content.asp?Subc=1363&amp;amp;L=1&amp;amp;idMen=731 METROPOLITANO FR1].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Rome you can take a bus (cotral http://www.cotralspa.it/ENG/capolinea.asp) to Viterbo and other bus from viterbo to Bolsena (9am &amp;amp; 7.30pm).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alternatively you can take a train from Rome to Orvieto and take a taxi from Orvieto to Bolsena. Orvieto Taxi info: &lt;br /&gt;
1) Paolo of 'Gulliver Taxi' gullirent@alice.it tel 0763 302969 or mobile 330 477399. &lt;br /&gt;
2) Luigi gigitaxi@libero.it tel 338 9790846. Luigi speaks limited English&lt;br /&gt;
3) OrvietoTaxi : http://www.orvietotaxi.it  simone@orvietotaxi.it is a good option (by Just)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Monday to Friday there is a bus each hour but Sunday there are very few buses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Bolsena main street to the Monastery is aproximately 1 km.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It could be interesting to rent a private bus or several cars to move from Rome to the Monastery and from the Monastery to Rome.&lt;br /&gt;

== Strategie en beleid ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== OSGeo.nl IRL 2012 ===&lt;br /&gt;
Op 12 september 2012 was er een &amp;quot;In Real Life&amp;quot; meeting voor leden en belangstellenden om vooral zaken rond de organisatie op poten te zetten. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Om een idee te geven welke zaken allemaal voor deze meeting speelden, is het goed om de verslagen van de [[Nederlands/bijeenkomsten|IRC Bijeenkomsten]]  te lezen en vooral ook de  [[Nederlands/TODO | Actielijst (De &amp;quot;TODO Lijst&amp;quot;)]] die daaruit is ontstaan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Info en agenda vind je op  [[Nederlands/bijeenkomsten/OSGeo.nl_IRL_2012|OSGeo.nl IRL 2012]] pagina.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Het verslag van de OSGeo.nl IRL 2012 staat op [[Nederland/bijeenkomsten/strategische-irl-1]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Uit den ouden doosch ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ook in het eerste decennium van de 20e eeuw zijn er diverse Open Source Geo seminars, studiedagen en congressen georganiseerd. Ter lering ende vermaeck een kort overzicht: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 17 juni 2008: Open Source Geo-ICT seminar &amp;amp; workshops ===&lt;br /&gt;
Op de TU Delft kwamen 118 belangstellenden tegen betaling van 150 euro af op door OTB, NOIV en Rijkswaterstaat opgezet programma met onder meer Paul Ramsey, Dirk Frigne, &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==== 27 november 2007 GIN Congres ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tijdens het toen nog 3-daagse GIN congres in de Amsterdamse RAI was er een track gewijd aan open source. Een programma is niet meer terug te vinden, wel een [http://www.gisnederland.nl/2007/12/open-source-open-standaarden-open-mind.html persoonlijk verslag].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== 16 oktober 2007 Het gebruik van Open Source Software in Geo-ICT ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In het Utrechtse Beatrixgebouw kwam 100 mensen af op het door MinEZ georgansieerde seminar &amp;quot;Het gebruik van Open Source Software in geo-ICT&amp;quot; met als sprekers Jeroen Ticheler, Wim Blanken, Henk Hoff, Wilko Quak en Wim de Haas. In de paralleltracks Steven Ottens, Bart vd Eijnden en Richard Duijvenvoorde.&lt;br /&gt;

Het [http://www.geo-info.nl/download/?id=17672013 verslag] van Geo-Info redacteur Adri den Boer. UItsmijter in dat verslag:  &amp;quot;Een detailverschil met gebruikersbijeenkomsten van commerciële software was het gemis aan bedrukte tasjes, mokken, pennen, schrijfblocs en dergelijke.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Lid Worden  =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OSGeo.nl is een stichting, en een stichting kent -in tegenstelling tot een vereniging- geen leden. Maar natuurlijk vormen we wél een community, met geïnteresseerde toeschouwers en actieve spelers. Maak daarom kenbaar dat je je lid voelt van de community. Je kunt vervolgens zelf bepalen hoe aktief je wilt worden. De volgende 2 stappen zijn nodig:&lt;br /&gt;

== Strategie en beleid ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== OSGeo.nl IRL 2012 ===&lt;br /&gt;
Op 12 september 2012 was er een &amp;quot;In Real Life&amp;quot; meeting voor leden en belangstellenden om vooral zaken rond de organisatie op poten te zetten. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Om een idee te geven welke zaken allemaal voor deze meeting speelden, is het goed om de verslagen van de [[Nederlands/bijeenkomsten|IRC Bijeenkomsten]]  te lezen en vooral ook de  [[Nederlands/TODO | Actielijst (De &amp;quot;TODO Lijst&amp;quot;)]] die daaruit is ontstaan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Info en agenda vind je op  [[Nederlands/bijeenkomsten/OSGeo.nl_IRL_2012|OSGeo.nl IRL 2012]] pagina.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Uit den ouden doosch ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ook in het eerste decennium van de 20e eeuw zijn er diverse Open Source Geo seminars, studiedagen en congressen georganiseerd. Ter lering ende vermaeck een kort overzicht: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 17 juni 2008: Open Source Geo-ICT seminar &amp;amp; workshops ===&lt;br /&gt;
Op de TU Delft kwamen 118 belangstellenden tegen betaling van 150 euro af op door OTB, NOIV en Rijkswaterstaat opgezet programma met onder meer Paul Ramsey, Dirk Frigne, &lt;br /&gt;
Bekijk [http://home.tudelft.nl/nl/actueel/agenda/event/detail/open-source-geo-ict-seminar/ voor de aankondiging en het complete programma] van die dag en  [http://www.geo-info.nl/download/?id=17672337 een verslag] door Wim Blanken en Co Drost in het blad Geo-Info.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== 27 november 2007 GIN Congres ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tijdens het toen nog 3-daagse GIN congres in de Amsterdamse RAI was er een track gewijd aan open source. Een programma is niet meer terug te vinden, wel een [http://www.gisnederland.nl/2007/12/open-source-open-standaarden-open-mind.html persoonlijk verslag].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== 16 oktober 2007 Het gebruik van Open Source Software in Geo-ICT ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In het Utrechtse Beatrixgebouw kwam 100 mensen af op het door MinEZ georgansieerde seminar &amp;quot;Het gebruik van Open Source Software in geo-ICT&amp;quot; met als sprekers Jeroen Ticheler, Wim Blanken, Henk Hoff, Wilko Quak en Wim de Haas. In de paralleltracks Steven Ottens, Bart vd Eijnden en Richard Duijvenvoorde.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Het [http://www.geo-info.nl/download/?id=17672013 verslag] van Geo-Info redacteur Adri den Boer. UItsmijter in dat verslag:  &amp;quot;Een detailverschil met gebruikersbijeenkomsten van commerciële software was het gemis aan bedrukte tasjes, mokken, pennen, schrijfblocs en dergelijke.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

== Strategie en beleid ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== OSGeo.nl IRL 2012 ===&lt;br /&gt;
Op 12 september 2012 was er een &amp;quot;In Real Life&amp;quot; meeting voor leden en belangstellenden om vooral zaken rond de organisatie op poten te zetten. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Om een idee te geven welke zaken allemaal voor deze meeting speelden, is het goed om de verslagen van de [[Nederlands/bijeenkomsten|IRC Bijeenkomsten]]  te lezen en vooral ook de  [[Nederlands/TODO | Actielijst (De &amp;quot;TODO Lijst&amp;quot;)]] die daaruit is ontstaan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Info en agenda vind je op  [[Nederlands/bijeenkomsten/OSGeo.nl_IRL_2012|OSGeo.nl IRL 2012]] pagina.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Het verslag van de OSGeo.nl IRL 2012 staat op [[Nederland/bijeenkomsten/strategische-irl-1]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Uit den ouden doosch ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ook in het eerste decennium van de 20e eeuw zijn er diverse Open Source Geo seminars, studiedagen en congressen georganiseerd. Ter lering ende vermaeck een kort overzicht: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 17 juni 2008: Open Source Geo-ICT seminar &amp;amp; workshops ===&lt;br /&gt;
Op de TU Delft kwamen 118 belangstellenden tegen betaling van 150 euro af op door OTB, NOIV en Rijkswaterstaat opgezet programma met onder meer Paul Ramsey, Dirk Frigne, &lt;br /&gt;
Bekijk [http://home.tudelft.nl/nl/actueel/agenda/event/detail/open-source-geo-ict-seminar/ voor de aankondiging en het complete programma] van die dag en  [http://www.geo-info.nl/download/?id=17672337 een verslag] door Wim Blanken en Co Drost in het blad Geo-Info.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== 27 november 2007 GIN Congres ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tijdens het toen nog 3-daagse GIN congres in de Amsterdamse RAI was er een track gewijd aan open source. Een programma is niet meer terug te vinden, wel een [http://www.gisnederland.nl/2007/12/open-source-open-standaarden-open-mind.html persoonlijk verslag].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== 16 oktober 2007 Het gebruik van Open Source Software in Geo-ICT ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In het Utrechtse Beatrixgebouw kwam 100 mensen af op het door MinEZ georgansieerde seminar &amp;quot;Het gebruik van Open Source Software in geo-ICT&amp;quot; met als sprekers Jeroen Ticheler, Wim Blanken, Henk Hoff, Wilko Quak en Wim de Haas. In de paralleltracks Steven Ottens, Bart vd Eijnden en Richard Duijvenvoorde.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Het [http://www.geo-info.nl/download/?id=17672013 verslag] van Geo-Info redacteur Adri den Boer. UItsmijter in dat verslag:  &amp;quot;Een detailverschil met gebruikersbijeenkomsten van commerciële software was het gemis aan bedrukte tasjes, mokken, pennen, schrijfblocs en dergelijke.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Lid Worden  =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OSGeo.nl is een stichting, en een stichting kent -in tegenstelling tot een vereniging- geen leden. Maar natuurlijk vormen we wél een community, met geïnteresseerde toeschouwers en actieve spelers. Maak daarom kenbaar dat je je lid voelt van de community. Je kunt vervolgens zelf bepalen hoe aktief je wilt worden. De volgende 2 stappen zijn nodig:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
* Maak een OSGeo.org account aan op [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&amp;amp;type=signup&amp;amp;returnto=Main_Page wiki-account]. Je kunt daarna helpen deze wiki aan te vullen en te verbeteren.&lt;br /&gt;
* Voeg je naam toe aan het overzicht van [[Nederlands/Leden|Nederlandstalige OSGeo leden]]. Dan weten anderen ook dat je geïnteresseerd bent in OSGeo.nl&lt;br /&gt;
* Wil je deelnemen in de discussies? Kijk bij de [[#Mailinglijst|Mailinglijst]] en voeg jezelf toe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Communicatie  =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ons primaire contact is de website [http://osgeo.nl osgeo.nl]. Vanaf daar is deze Wiki de springplank naar alle verdere communicatie kanalen. &lt;br /&gt;
De Wiki, dat ben je zelf, dus uitbreiden/aanvullen/verbeteren zien we graag. Op dit moment zijn er naast de Wiki de volgende kanalen:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Mailing Lijst ==&lt;br /&gt;
Discussies vinden plaats via de [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/dutch Nederlandse mailinglijst van OSGeo.nl] (plm 100 leden op 1/7/12). Je kunt je aanmelden voor deze lijst via &lt;br /&gt;
http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/dutch. Je kunt ook het [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/dutch/ archief] bekijken. Is een mailinglijst nieuw voor jou? &lt;br /&gt;
Dan hebben we wat handige [[Nederland/mailinglijst tips|tips]] voor je op een rijtje gezet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Bijeenkomsten via Chat ==&lt;br /&gt;
Via IRC houden we tweewekelijks overleg op '''maandag vanaf 20:30'''. Zie [http://www.meetup.com/OSGeoNL OSGeo.nl Meetup] voor actuele data. Hierbij gebruiken we het Freenode kanaal #osgeonl. Je kunt vanuit de browser deelnemen via [http://webchat.freenode.net/?randomnick=0&amp;amp;channels=osgeonl WebChat] en je kunt de volledige logs [http://irclogs.geoapt.com/osgeonl hier teruglezen]. Dit [http://www.ircbeginner.com/ircinfo/ircc-commands.html overzicht van IRC commando's] kan wellicht handig zijn.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;''Workinggroup on Catalogue Interoperability'' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Home Page: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/cat-interop&lt;br /&gt;
* Mailing List: http://lists.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cat-interop&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
== Description ==&lt;br /&gt;
The group aims to discuss (and test/implement) beter interoperability between the open source metadata servers and &lt;br /&gt;
clients. Mostly targetting the use case, find a dataset -&amp;gt; view a &lt;br /&gt;
dataset. But any other issue in catalogue interoperability can be suggested.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Join the discussion at the mailinglist!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is still quite some mis-matching in the &lt;br /&gt;
products out there due to different implementations. Clients as Geonode, &lt;br /&gt;
Qgis are not able to display an &amp;quot;add to map&amp;quot; button from some catalogue servers. &lt;br /&gt;
But even if the button is presented, still some &lt;br /&gt;
optimisations could be agreed upon. One of the goals would be to have a &lt;br /&gt;
seamless user experience (find-&amp;gt;display) and prevent for example the &lt;br /&gt;
situation where in the CSW client a user should specify the type of &lt;br /&gt;
metadata catalogue (s)he wants to add data from.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Approach ==&lt;br /&gt;
* End of 2013 we hope to agree on a specification to implement an interoperable DC-profile, work in progress is here [https://github.com/geopython/pycsw/wiki/Geonode-notes#metadata-links]&lt;br /&gt;
* Start of 2014 we hope projects will be able to set up forks with this implementation and we want to set up a test procedure (set of test records on osgeo-live-dvd)&lt;br /&gt;
* At FOSS4G 2014 we might organise a benchmark on interoperability&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
First initiatives are here [[DCLite4G]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mailinglist was formed at FOSS4G 2013 in Nottingham as a result of a Birds of Feather on Catalogue interoperability. The BOF was visited by participants from [[Geonetwork]], [[pyCSW]], CKAN, [[Geonode]], [[Qgis]], [[OpenLayers]], [[GeoExt]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== OSGeo Hacking event in a monastery near Bolsena (1-7 June 2014) ==&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Event Owner]]: [[User:ticheler | Jeroen Ticheler]]&lt;br /&gt;
; When: [http://www.osgeo.org/node/1381 1-7 June 2014]&lt;br /&gt;
; Where: [http://tinyurl.com/2t6zby Bolsena - Italy]&lt;br /&gt;
; Agenda: [[Agenda 2014]]&lt;br /&gt;
; Previous years: [[OSGeo Hacking event|2008]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2009|2009]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2010|2010]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2011|2011]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2012|2012]] and [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2013|2013]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After six successful years, we'll continue the OSGeo &amp;quot;hacking&amp;quot; event in Bolsena in an [http://www.conventobolsena.org/ Italian monastery] ([http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=42.646585&amp;amp;mlon=11.99335&amp;amp;zoom=14&amp;amp;layers=M see map location], and videos: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wrZrK64UIw 2008-video],  [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxox3AsjH6Q 2009-video] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Vjx06Rlols 2010-video]. The monastery is overlooking Lago Bolsena and offers space to about 25 people in small bedrooms :-) . It is one of the coolest places for such an event. Quiet, isolated, simple and serene. There's a good wireless and wired internet connection, further improved this year. It should be perfect for git, IRC and mail. Have a look yourself, including looking at the photo gallery.&lt;br /&gt;
For what the food concerns, we will have a cook who will take care of us :-) . There's a large dining space, but we will eat outside overlooking the lake if weather permits (very likely in June).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The all inclusive cost will be 550 Euro (Excl VAT) per person for the full week. You can stay all seven days and food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) is included in the price. As in previous years, we will go out for a city visit and a dinner on one of the evenings (also included).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The event will take place during the whole week (7 days), although the emphasis will probably be Monday to Friday for most participants.&lt;br /&gt;
Please contact me if you have questions about this event ([[User:ticheler |Jeroen Ticheler]])&lt;br /&gt;

=== How to arrive to the Monastery ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The closest airports are the Roma airports (Ciampino and Fiumincino).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Rome to the monastery there is 135 km aproximately.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no railway to Bolsena.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Fiumicino to Rome you can take the train [http://www.adr.it/web/aeroporti-di-roma-en-/pax-fco-train METROPOLITANO FR1].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Rome you can take a bus (cotral http://www.cotralspa.it/ENG/capolinea.asp) to Viterbo and other bus from viterbo to Bolsena (9am &amp;amp; 7.30pm).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alternatively you can take a train from Rome to Orvieto and take a taxi from Orvieto to Bolsena. Orvieto Taxi info: &lt;br /&gt;
1) Paolo of 'Gulliver Taxi' gullirent@alice.it tel 0763 302969 or mobile 330 477399. &lt;br /&gt;
2) Luigi gigitaxi@libero.it tel 338 9790846. Luigi speaks limited English&lt;br /&gt;
3) OrvietoTaxi : http://www.orvietotaxi.it  simone@orvietotaxi.it is a good option (by Just)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Monday to Friday there is a bus each hour but Sunday there are very few buses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Bolsena main street to the Monastery is aproximately 1 km.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It could be interesting to rent a private bus or several cars to move from Rome to the Monastery and from the Monastery to Rome.&lt;br /&gt;

== OGC/OSGeo meet up ==&lt;br /&gt;
OGC and OSGeo have always been strongly linked, from our common roots in the early open source geospatial community, our 2008 MoU, and the ongoing benefits we continue to realize from each other's activities. As both organisations continue to lead at the top of their respective fields, are there ways that we can work more closely and provide greater support for each other's work?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This BoF is intended as an informal meet up to hear people's thoughts and suggestions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== OSGeo-Live ==&lt;br /&gt;
Ideas for [http://live.osgeo.org OSGeo-Live] BOF (which might spill into a [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2013_Code_Sprint Code Sprint] with sufficient interest):&lt;br /&gt;
* Discuss strategy for improving translation process&lt;br /&gt;
* Work out a strategy for printing and distributing DVDs / USBs, and paying for them. The hard part is working out how to process 50+ requests for DVDs per year.&lt;br /&gt;
* Many of the quickstarts need review/tweaks. A day of people running quickstarts, reporting issues, capturing screen shots, would greatly benefit the project. It would be a great introduction for someone to both OSGeo software, and the Open Source development process, as well as being a very valuable contribution to the community.&lt;br /&gt;
* How to create PDF documentation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Time Slot and location: Friday, 1-1:30pm, GeoCamp (marquee)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ELOGeo platform has been set up as a means for the community to share learning resources for FOSS GIS under a Creative Commons 3 licence. We at the University of Nottingham have some additional funding to work on functionality and design of the system, and we're interested in some community views on this. Please come along to say what you think!  (Not usually a problem in OSGeo...) We'll have some design ideas for you to think about, and questions about the content &amp;amp; access.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics:&lt;br /&gt;
* how useful is the current collection of materials?&lt;br /&gt;
* organisation: what are good ways to tag or organise the collection?&lt;br /&gt;
* design: how could this be improved?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== OGC/OSGeo meet up ==&lt;br /&gt;
OGC and OSGeo have always been strongly linked, from our common roots in the early open source geospatial community, our 2008 MoU, and the ongoing benefits we continue to realize from each other's activities. As both organisations continue to lead at the top of their respective fields, are there ways that we can work more closely and provide greater support for each other's work?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This BoF is intended as an informal meet up to hear people's thoughts and suggestions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Ideas for [http://live.osgeo.org OSGeo-Live] BOF (which might spill into a [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2013_Code_Sprint Code Sprint] with sufficient interest):&lt;br /&gt;
* Discuss strategy for improving translation process&lt;br /&gt;
* Work out a strategy for printing and distributing DVDs / USBs, and paying for them. The hard part is working out how to process 50+ requests for DVDs per year.&lt;br /&gt;
* Many of the quickstarts need review/tweaks. A day of people running quickstarts, reporting issues, capturing screen shots, would greatly benefit the project. It would be a great introduction for someone to both OSGeo software, and the Open Source development process, as well as being a very valuable contribution to the community.&lt;br /&gt;
* How to create PDF documentation.&lt;br /&gt;

Please come along to say what you think!  (Not usually a problem in OSGeo...) We'll have some design ideas for you to think about, and questions about the content &amp;amp; access.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics:&lt;br /&gt;
* how useful is the current collection of materials?&lt;br /&gt;
* organisation: what are good ways to tag or organise the collection?&lt;br /&gt;
* design: how could this be improved?&lt;br /&gt;

== OGC/OSGeo meet up ==&lt;br /&gt;
OGC and OSGeo have always been strongly linked, from our common roots in the early open source geospatial community, our 2008 MoU, and the ongoing benefits we continue to realize from each other's activities. As both organisations continue to lead at the top of their respective fields, are there ways that we can work more closely and provide greater support for each other's work?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This BoF is intended as an informal meet up to hear people's thoughts and suggestions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*  When - Friday 20th September, 08:00 - 09:00 in the GeoCamp Marquee&lt;br /&gt;

== OSGeo-Live ==&lt;br /&gt;
Ideas for [http://live.osgeo.org OSGeo-Live] BOF (which might spill into a [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2013_Code_Sprint Code Sprint] with sufficient interest):&lt;br /&gt;
* Discuss strategy for improving translation process&lt;br /&gt;
* Work out a strategy for printing and distributing DVDs / USBs, and paying for them. The hard part is working out how to process 50+ requests for DVDs per year.&lt;br /&gt;
* Many of the quickstarts need review/tweaks. A day of people running quickstarts, reporting issues, capturing screen shots, would greatly benefit the project. It would be a great introduction for someone to both OSGeo software, and the Open Source development process, as well as being a very valuable contribution to the community.&lt;br /&gt;
* How to create PDF documentation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Time Slot: ??&lt;br /&gt;

We at the University of Nottingham have some additional funding to work on functionality and design of the system, and we're interested in some community views on this. Please come along to say what you think!  (Not usually a problem in OSGeo...) We'll have some design ideas for you to think about, and questions about the content &amp;amp; access.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics:&lt;br /&gt;
* how useful is the current collection of materials?&lt;br /&gt;
* organisation: what are good ways to tag or organise the collection?&lt;br /&gt;
* design: how could this be improved?&lt;br /&gt;

It creates a platform to bring forth thought leadership and showcase state-of-the-art technology and its utility in the world economy. The conference aims at enriching the geospatial ecosystem, which comprises of the geospatial technology providers, users, policy makers and the academia with market intelligence, latest technology knowledge, success stories and capacity building. It is a confluence of a variety of activities in the form of plenary, symposia, seminars, workshops, panel discussions, dialogue and exchange forums – covering the vast gamut of technology, application, policy, use cases from across the world.&lt;br /&gt;

== Organisation ==&lt;br /&gt;
GWF has been organized in the Netherlands two years in a row (12 Amsterdam, 13 Rotterdam). Like last year OSGeo.nl (this year mostly Geocat (Paul/Jeroen))) drew the preparations. Next year (14) the event will be organised in Switzerland, so it would be good if fossgis.de or a swiss organisation continues the organisation of the event. The event has quite some exposure to general GEO industry.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

== Planning Stage ==&lt;br /&gt;
GWF is organized in Rotterdam from 13 to 16 May The idea is to make this year a half day track, in a slightly larger room than last year. Geocat (Paul/Jeroen) 'll draw the preparations, they're open to all kinds of suggestions and offers to lend a hand :-). We did send out some invitations for slots to fill and based on the replies created a short list. At the end of the track we want to do a panel discussion. For now we didn't apply for a booth, since it's quite costly and the expo is not even opened on the 16th.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the tentative program (deadline this week) I created this intro:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''For this years OSGeo track on GWF we looked for an optimal blend of succesfull opensource usecases and some substantive &lt;br /&gt;
talks to enlarge insight in business concepts around open source software in the geospatial sector. You'll notice there is &lt;br /&gt;
a slight focus on metadata use. Since metadata is one of the major players in making geospatial data accessible. And data &lt;br /&gt;
is what we've seen a lot of last year. About every week some country or city announced a new open data portal. And a vast &lt;br /&gt;
amount of open data is location oriented. Providing new opportunities for Enterprizes to create appealling apps.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Andrew Ross is Director of Ecosystems at the Eclipse Foundation. He is responsible for the LocationTech working group, Long Term Support program, Common Build Infrastructure initiative, and Membership services.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Andrew is an award winning software architect and technology leader. Prior to the Eclipse Foundation, Andrew was Director of Engineering at Ingres. His team added OGC compliant spatial support to the Ingres database, and added support for Ingres geospatial in many applications including ArcGIS, Mapserver, Geoserver, and more. Prior to to Ingres, Andrew was a Software Architect at Nortel where he developed Telecom solutions based on open source technologies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Andrew is Director of the LocationTech industry working group hosted at the Eclipse Foundation, a charter member of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo), and project lead for the Freeseer video recording and streaming suite.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Abstract&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGEO), modeled loosely on the Apache Foundation, was founded in March, 2006.  The OSGEO has been incredibly successful and has grown rapidly to support 25 or so projects, some in incubation, 20 chapters worldwide, and a national conference, FOSS4G, which last year in Denver attracted about 900 participants.One of the most important developments in open source software is the rise of the open source foundation driven by a several needs, among which one of the most important is the need for corporate engagement. These non profit legal entities offer projects important benefits that are difficult for a project to fund on its own including providing a host for managing fiscal and intellectual property shared resources such as trademarks and shared copyrights, governance, and a liability firewall for community participants. These foundation encourage trust in the long term stability of the projects they support and, most importantly for enterprise software, they encourage corporate participation. A number of people advocating for open source geospatial software have seen the need for services and facilitates to enable corporate engagement. The Eclipse Foundation provides services to reduce friction for organizations to re-use and contribute to open source projects. This supports business developing products and services that depend upon open source and in turn, the open source projects benefit from re-use, investment, and increased credibility. Based on this thinking the Eclipse Foundation with a team of representatives from notable companies and open source projects has initiated what is now officially known as the Eclipse Foundation LocationTech Working Group along. The LocationTech Working Group is intended to complement the important role the OSGEO and to fill an important gap in the enterprise geospatial market and provide benefits to the broader open source community. In this presentation the motivation for, business benefits, and an overview of the structure of the LocationTech Working Group will be presented.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Arnulf Christl ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arnulf Christl is director of Metaspatial specializing on secure geospatial data access. He currently consults to the Ordnance Survey Great Britain on its enterprise scale service architecture. He is a member of the OGC Architecture Board coordinating international standard development. Until 2012 he was president of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) which he co-founded in 2006. He developed the architecture of the eContent+ project ESDIN for a consortium of 12 European National Mapping Agencies. He has a thorough background in agile management and has guided a diverse selection of teams through the changes that are required for successful implementation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Abstract&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The term &amp;quot;Open Data&amp;quot; touches a broad range of aspects concerning data access, ownership, copyright and licensing but it is neither well defined nor clear cut. As a result there is a lot of potential for misunderstanding depending on who uses it in which context. At the same time Open Data has become a core term used in data policies which calls of a much clearer definition. Increasingly businesses are looking into how Open Data can be leveraged to create added value. To bring clarity into this situation the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) maintains a white paper on Open Data in the geospatial context. It contains a clear definition of the terms, puts them into context and offers an additional set of criteria to more precisely define the scope of Open Data. It can be split into three major types:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Factual data collections where values should not be modified (e.g. temperature measurement, speed control data).&lt;br /&gt;
* Authoritative data which is part of a legal framework and system.&lt;br /&gt;
* Community processed data which is created and maintained in an open and transparent consensus process. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally the presentation will give examples of commercial uses of all three types of Open Data. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Chris van Lith is experienced in translating technological opportunities into viable commercial products: first in industry (chemical, life sciences), now in information technology (internet). In '83 he graduated on his masters in chemical technology at university of Eindhoven. Currently he's director of the Opensource Geospatial Innovation company B3Partners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Abstract Using standards to protect investments in Open Source GIS &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One expects from closed source suppliers that new software versions are either backwards compatible or that a smooth upgrade process is available. Potential users of open source feel insecure in this respect. This presentation will promote the use of standards as an insurance policy against the risk of getting stuck with an abandoned GIS&lt;br /&gt;
project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
B3Partners offers a comprehensive GIS suite that covers most aspects of a geospatial &lt;br /&gt;
infrastructure: loading of data (ETL), design of maps, security and a geo-cms for &lt;br /&gt;
publication. This suite is build completely from open source projects. B3Partners did &lt;br /&gt;
add wizards and user interfaces to ensure utilization without any programming effort. &lt;br /&gt;
From the start B3Partners was aware of the risk that one of the underlying projects &lt;br /&gt;
would no longer be supported. Therefore B3Partners designed an architecture based on &lt;br /&gt;
building blocks that communicate using standards to minimize aforementioned risks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The B3P GIS Suite uses well known OGC standards like WMS, WFS and CSW for &lt;br /&gt;
communication between the building blocks of the suite. One of more important and &lt;br /&gt;
visible building blocks is the viewer engine. Back in 2008 B3Partners used a Flash &lt;br /&gt;
engine, but at the time we foresaw that this may become obsolete over time. Therefore &lt;br /&gt;
we devised an javascript interface for map engines. The Flash engine was embedded &lt;br /&gt;
using this interface. Later this interface allowed us the embed OpenLayers and now &lt;br /&gt;
Leaflet could be next. Thus we are changing engines without the need to change the &lt;br /&gt;
other building blocks. This protects our investment.&lt;br /&gt;

ISRIC - World Soil Information is an independent foundation and the ICSU accredited World Data Centre for Soils (WDC-Soils). It was founded in 1964 through the International Soil Science Society (ISSS) and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). It has a mandate to serve the international community with information about the world’s soil resources to help addressing major global issues. ISRIC operates on three priority areas: i) soil data and soil mapping, ii) application of soil data in global development issues and iii) training and education&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Abstract&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ISRIC has a mandate to serve the international community as custodian of world soil data and information and to increase awareness and understanding of soils in major global issues. ISRIC collects, stores, processes and disseminates global soil and terrain information for research and development of sustainable land use.. To fulfil this role at the global scale ISRIC has developed its web-based FOSS based Global Soil Information Facilities (GSIF), which also contains an enterprise database “World Soil Information Services” for storing soil information. Generally, GSIF i) facilitate crowd-sourced, web-based entry, storage and extraction of soil profile data, area-class soil maps and global grids of environmental data, such as satellite imagery, digital elevation maps and climate and land cover maps; ii) support the automated production of consistent, harmonized soil maps at multiple spatial scales; iii) strengthen soil information handling capacity in an interactive and participatory process; iv) provide feedback mechanisms to increase accuracy and user engagement; and to v) provide added-value products and processing chains to local, national, regional and global soil science communities. FOSS is instrumental in a ) development of these components, and b ) in deployment in our training component and its users around the world, where budget and knowledge constraints are limiting capacity building.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Intro ==&lt;br /&gt;
For this years OSGeo track on GWF we looked for an optimal blend of succesfull opensource usecases and some substantive talks to enlarge insight in business concepts around open source software in the geospatial sector. You'll notice there is a slight focus on metadata use. Since metadata is one of the major players in making geospatial data accessible. And data is what we've seen a lot of last year. About every week some country or city announced a new open data portal. And a vast amount of open data is location oriented. Providing new opportunities for Enterprizes to create appealling apps. &lt;br /&gt;

; Abstract&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGEO), modeled loosely on the Apache Foundation, was founded in March, 2006.  The OSGEO has been incredibly successful and has grown rapidly to support 25 or so projects, some in incubation, 20 chapters worldwide, and a national conference, FOSS4G, which last year in Denver attracted about 900 participants.One of the most important developments in open source software is the rise of the open source foundation driven by a several needs, among which one of the most important is the need for corporate engagement. These non profit legal entities offer projects important benefits that are difficult for a project to fund on its own including providing a host for managing fiscal and intellectual property shared resources such as trademarks and shared copyrights, governance, and a liability firewall for community participants. These foundation encourage trust in the long term stability of the projects they support and, most importantly for enterprise software, they encourage corporate participation. A number of people advocating for open source geospatial software have seen the need for services and facilitates to enable corporate engagement. The Eclipse Foundation provides services to reduce friction for organizations to re-use and contribute to open source projects. This supports business developing products and services that depend upon open source and in turn, the open source projects benefit from re-use, investment, and increased credibility. Based on this thinking the Eclipse Foundation with a team of representatives from notable companies and open source projects has initiated what is now officially known as the Eclipse Foundation LocationTech Working Group along. The LocationTech Working Group is intended to complement the important role the OSGEO and to fill an important gap in the enterprise geospatial market and provide benefits to the broader open source community. In this presentation the motivation for, business benefits, and an overview of the structure of the LocationTech Working Group will be presented.&lt;br /&gt;

He is a member of the OGC Architecture Board coordinating international standard development. Until 2012 he was president of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) which he co-founded in 2006. He developed the architecture of the eContent+ project ESDIN for a consortium of 12 European National Mapping Agencies. He has a thorough background in agile management and has guided a diverse selection of teams through the changes that are required for successful implementation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Abstract&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The term &amp;quot;Open Data&amp;quot; touches a broad range of aspects concerning data access, ownership, copyright and licensing but it is neither well defined nor clear cut. As a result there is a lot of potential for misunderstanding depending on who uses it in which context. At the same time Open Data has become a core term used in data policies which calls of a much clearer definition. Increasingly businesses are looking into how Open Data can be leveraged to create added value. To bring clarity into this situation the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) maintains a white paper on Open Data in the geospatial context. It contains a clear definition of the terms, puts them into context and offers an additional set of criteria to more precisely define the scope of Open Data. It can be split into three major types:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Factual data collections where values should not be modified (e.g. temperature measurement, speed control data).&lt;br /&gt;
* Authoritative data which is part of a legal framework and system.&lt;br /&gt;
* Community processed data which is created and maintained in an open and transparent consensus process. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally the presentation will give examples of commercial uses of all three types of Open Data. &lt;br /&gt;

; Abstract Using standards to protect investments in Open Source GIS &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One expects from closed source suppliers that new software versions are either backwards compatible or that a smooth upgrade process is available. Potential users of open source feel insecure in this respect. This presentation will promote the use of standards as an insurance policy against the risk of getting stuck with an abandoned GIS&lt;br /&gt;
project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
B3Partners offers a comprehensive GIS suite that covers most aspects of a geospatial &lt;br /&gt;
infrastructure: loading of data (ETL), design of maps, security and a geo-cms for &lt;br /&gt;
publication. This suite is build completely from open source projects. B3Partners did &lt;br /&gt;
add wizards and user interfaces to ensure utilization without any programming effort. &lt;br /&gt;
From the start B3Partners was aware of the risk that one of the underlying projects &lt;br /&gt;
would no longer be supported. Therefore B3Partners designed an architecture based on &lt;br /&gt;
building blocks that communicate using standards to minimize aforementioned risks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The B3P GIS Suite uses well known OGC standards like WMS, WFS and CSW for &lt;br /&gt;
communication between the building blocks of the suite. One of more important and &lt;br /&gt;
visible building blocks is the viewer engine. Back in 2008 B3Partners used a Flash &lt;br /&gt;
engine, but at the time we foresaw that this may become obsolete over time. Therefore &lt;br /&gt;
we devised an javascript interface for map engines. The Flash engine was embedded &lt;br /&gt;
using this interface. Later this interface allowed us the embed OpenLayers and now &lt;br /&gt;
Leaflet could be next. Thus we are changing engines without the need to change the &lt;br /&gt;
other building blocks. This protects our investment.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
ISRIC has a mandate to serve the international community as custodian of world soil data and information and to increase awareness and understanding of soils in major global issues. ISRIC collects, stores, processes and disseminates global soil and terrain information for research and development of sustainable land use.. To fulfil this role at the global scale ISRIC has developed its web-based FOSS based Global Soil Information Facilities (GSIF), which also contains an enterprise database “World Soil Information Services” for storing soil information. Generally, GSIF i) facilitate crowd-sourced, web-based entry, storage and extraction of soil profile data, area-class soil maps and global grids of environmental data, such as satellite imagery, digital elevation maps and climate and land cover maps; ii) support the automated production of consistent, harmonized soil maps at multiple spatial scales; iii) strengthen soil information handling capacity in an interactive and participatory process; iv) provide feedback mechanisms to increase accuracy and user engagement; and to v) provide added-value products and processing chains to local, national, regional and global soil science communities. FOSS is instrumental in a ) development of these components, and b ) in deployment in our training component and its users around the world, where budget and knowledge constraints are limiting capacity building.&lt;br /&gt;

Mapping Client and recently NLExtract, ETL tools for free Dutch&lt;br /&gt;
geospatial datasets. He attempts to regularly contribute as a mapper to&lt;br /&gt;
OpenStreetMap. Just is representative of OSGeo.nl, the&lt;br /&gt;
Dutch Language Local chapter of the international Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo.org).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Paul van Genuchten graduated in 99 for his masters in Soil Science at Wageningen University. Just in time to notice the first interactive maps on the web. Fascinated by this phenomena he started developing in the world of web mapping using open source technologies like Mapserver, Postgis and OpenLayers. More recently he focussed on SDI-architectures and metadata implementations for Inspire. Last year he joined GeoCat, the founder of the Geonetwork OpenSource project, where he is a developer and consultant on any Open SDI related matter, with a focus on metadata. &lt;br /&gt;

; Abstract Opensource enforces interoperability&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Interoperability is good for business, because organizations are less tied to a certain supplier. (OGC) standards are the basis for interoperability, but in practice standards don’t guarantee interoperability. Open source software facilitates the last step in interoperability, due to (i) availability of wide communities discussing features, (ii) the open character attracts people to patch the system and (iii) the business model of open source is for a major part based on software development. Take the metadata Use Case. People looking for spatial data, find data through a catalogue, and want to add this data to a map. OGC has put quite a big framework of standards to support this use case (CSW, iso19115, iso19119). But in the real world there are some 10 server-implementations, and none of them fully supports the way the use-case is implemented in one of the others. In the Open source domain developers automatically start discussions to have the gap fixed, and come up with new standards like DClite4G.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== OSGeo Hacking event in a monastery near Bolsena (2-8 June 2013) ==&lt;br /&gt;
; [[Event Owner]]: [[User:ticheler | Jeroen Ticheler]]&lt;br /&gt;
; When: [http://www.osgeo.org/node/1221 2-8 June 2013]&lt;br /&gt;
; Where: [http://tinyurl.com/2t6zby Bolsena - Italy]&lt;br /&gt;
; Agenda: [[Agenda 2013]]&lt;br /&gt;
; Previous years: [[OSGeo Hacking event|2008]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2009|2009]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2010|2010]], [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2011|2011]] and [[Bolsena Code Sprint 2012|2012]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After five successful years, we'll continue the OSGeo &amp;quot;hacking&amp;quot; event in Bolsena in an [http://www.conventobolsena.org/ Italian monastery] ([http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=42.646585&amp;amp;mlon=11.99335&amp;amp;zoom=14&amp;amp;layers=M see map location], and videos: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wrZrK64UIw 2008-video],  [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxox3AsjH6Q 2009-video] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Vjx06Rlols 2010-video]. The monastery is overlooking Lago Bolsena and offers space to about 25 people in small bedrooms :-) . It is one of the coolest places for such an event. Quiet, isolated, simple and serene. There's a good wireless and wired internet connection, further improved this year. It should be perfect for SVN, IRC and mail. Have a look yourself, including looking at the photo gallery.&lt;br /&gt;
For what the food concerns, we will have a cook who will take care of us :-) . There's a large dining space, but we will eat outside overlooking the lake if weather permits (very likely in June).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The all inclusive cost will be 550 Euro (Excl VAT) per person for the full week. You can stay all seven days and food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) is included in the price. As in previous years, we will go out for a city visit and a dinner on one of the evenings (also included).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The event will take place during the whole week (7 days), although the emphasis will probably be Monday to Friday for most participants.&lt;br /&gt;
Please contact me if you have questions about this event ([[User:ticheler |Jeroen Ticheler]])&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
: [1] there are options to do outdoor activities like tracking. A guide can be organized and the cost is very reasonable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sponsoring ===&lt;br /&gt;
We are always welcoming sponsors!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== How to arrive to the Monastery ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The closest airports are the Roma airports (Ciampino and Fiumincino).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Rome to the monastery there is 135 km aproximately.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no railway to Bolsena.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Fiumicino to Rome you can take the train [http://www.adr.it/web/aeroporti-di-roma-en-/pax-fco-train METROPOLITANO FR1].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Rome you can take a bus (cotral http://www.cotralspa.it/ENG/capolinea.asp) to Viterbo and other bus from viterbo to Bolsena (9am &amp;amp; 7.30pm).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alternatively you can take a train from Rome to Orvieto and take a taxi from Orvieto to Bolsena. Orvieto Taxi info: &lt;br /&gt;
1) Paolo of 'Gulliver Taxi' gullirent@alice.it tel 0763 302969 or mobile 330 477399. &lt;br /&gt;
2) Luigi gigitaxi@libero.it tel 338 9790846. Luigi speaks limited English&lt;br /&gt;
3) OrvietoTaxi : http://www.orvietotaxi.it  simone@orvietotaxi.it is a good option (by Just)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Monday to Friday there is a bus each hour but Sunday there are very few buses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Bolsena main street to the Monastery is aproximately 1 km.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It could be interesting to rent a private bus or several cars to move from Rome to the Monastery and from the Monastery to Rome.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;''Confirmed Program for [[Geospatial World Forum 2013]]''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Intro ==&lt;br /&gt;
For this years OSGeo track on GWF we looked for an optimal blend of succesfull opensource usecases and some substantive talks to enlarge insight in business concepts around open source software in the geospatial sector. You'll notice there is a slight focus on metadata use. Since metadata is one of the major players in making geospatial data accessible. And data is what we've seen a lot of last year. About every week some country or city announced a new open data portal. And a vast amount of open data is location oriented. Providing new opportunities for Enterprizes to create appealling apps. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Andrew is an award winning software architect and technology leader. Prior to the Eclipse Foundation, Andrew was Director of Engineering at Ingres. His team added OGC compliant spatial support to the Ingres database, and added support for Ingres geospatial in many applications including ArcGIS, Mapserver, Geoserver, and more. Prior to to Ingres, Andrew was a Software Architect at Nortel where he developed Telecom solutions based on open source technologies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Andrew is Director of the LocationTech industry working group hosted at the Eclipse Foundation, a charter member of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo), and project lead for the Freeseer video recording and streaming suite.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Abstract&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGEO), modeled loosely on the Apache Foundation, was founded in March, 2006.  The OSGEO has been incredibly successful and has grown rapidly to support 25 or so projects, some in incubation, 20 chapters worldwide, and a national conference, FOSS4G, which last year in Denver attracted about 900 participants.One of the most important developments in open source software is the rise of the open source foundation driven by a several needs, among which one of the most important is the need for corporate engagement. These non profit legal entities offer projects important benefits that are difficult for a project to fund on its own including providing a host for managing fiscal and intellectual property shared resources such as trademarks and shared copyrights, governance, and a liability firewall for community participants. These foundation encourage trust in the long term stability of the projects they support and, most importantly for enterprise software, they encourage corporate participation. A number of people advocating for open source geospatial software have seen the need for services and facilitates to enable corporate engagement. The Eclipse Foundation provides services to reduce friction for organizations to re-use and contribute to open source projects. This supports business developing products and services that depend upon open source and in turn, the open source projects benefit from re-use, investment, and increased credibility. Based on this thinking the Eclipse Foundation with a team of representatives from notable companies and open source projects has initiated what is now officially known as the Eclipse Foundation LocationTech Working Group along. The LocationTech Working Group is intended to complement the important role the OSGEO and to fill an important gap in the enterprise geospatial market and provide benefits to the broader open source community. In this presentation the motivation for, business benefits, and an overview of the structure of the LocationTech Working Group will be presented.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Arnulf Christl ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arnulf Christl is director of Metaspatial specializing on secure geospatial data access. He currently consults to the Ordnance Survey Great Britain on its enterprise scale service architecture. He is a member of the OGC Architecture Board coordinating international standard development. Until 2012 he was president of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) which he co-founded in 2006. He developed the architecture of the eContent+ project ESDIN for a consortium of 12 European National Mapping Agencies. He has a thorough background in agile management and has guided a diverse selection of teams through the changes that are required for successful implementation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Abstract&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The term &amp;quot;Open Data&amp;quot; touches a broad range of aspects concerning data access, ownership, copyright and licensing but it is neither well defined nor clear cut. As a result there is a lot of potential for misunderstanding depending on who uses it in which context. At the same time Open Data has become a core term used in data policies which calls of a much clearer definition. Increasingly businesses are looking into how Open Data can be leveraged to create added value. To bring clarity into this situation the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) maintains a white paper on Open Data in the geospatial context. It contains a clear definition of the terms, puts them into context and offers an additional set of criteria to more precisely define the scope of Open Data. It can be split into three major types:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Factual data collections where values should not be modified (e.g. temperature measurement, speed control data).&lt;br /&gt;
* Authoritative data which is part of a legal framework and system.&lt;br /&gt;
* Community processed data which is created and maintained in an open and transparent consensus process. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally the presentation will give examples of commercial uses of all three types of Open Data. &lt;br /&gt;

In '83 he graduated on his masters in chemical technology at university of Eindhoven. Currently he's director of the Opensource Geospatial Innovation company B3Partners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Abstract Using standards to protect investments in Open Source GIS &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One expects from closed source suppliers that new software versions are either backwards compatible or that a smooth upgrade process is available. Potential users of open source feel insecure in this respect. This presentation will promote the use of standards as an insurance policy against the risk of getting stuck with an abandoned GIS&lt;br /&gt;
project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
B3Partners offers a comprehensive GIS suite that covers most aspects of a geospatial &lt;br /&gt;
infrastructure: loading of data (ETL), design of maps, security and a geo-cms for &lt;br /&gt;
publication. This suite is build completely from open source projects. B3Partners did &lt;br /&gt;
add wizards and user interfaces to ensure utilization without any programming effort. &lt;br /&gt;
From the start B3Partners was aware of the risk that one of the underlying projects &lt;br /&gt;
would no longer be supported. Therefore B3Partners designed an architecture based on &lt;br /&gt;
building blocks that communicate using standards to minimize aforementioned risks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The B3P GIS Suite uses well known OGC standards like WMS, WFS and CSW for &lt;br /&gt;
communication between the building blocks of the suite. One of more important and &lt;br /&gt;
visible building blocks is the viewer engine. Back in 2008 B3Partners used a Flash &lt;br /&gt;
engine, but at the time we foresaw that this may become obsolete over time. Therefore &lt;br /&gt;
we devised an javascript interface for map engines. The Flash engine was embedded &lt;br /&gt;
using this interface. Later this interface allowed us the embed OpenLayers and now &lt;br /&gt;
Leaflet could be next. Thus we are changing engines without the need to change the &lt;br /&gt;
other building blocks. This protects our investment.&lt;br /&gt;

ISRIC - World Soil Information is an independent foundation and the ICSU accredited World Data Centre for Soils (WDC-Soils). It was founded in 1964 through the International Soil Science Society (ISSS) and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). It has a mandate to serve the international community with information about the world’s soil resources to help addressing major global issues. ISRIC operates on three priority areas: i) soil data and soil mapping, ii) application of soil data in global development issues and iii) training and education&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Abstract&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ISRIC has a mandate to serve the international community as custodian of world soil data and information and to increase awareness and understanding of soils in major global issues. ISRIC collects, stores, processes and disseminates global soil and terrain information for research and development of sustainable land use.. To fulfil this role at the global scale ISRIC has developed its web-based FOSS based Global Soil Information Facilities (GSIF), which also contains an enterprise database “World Soil Information Services” for storing soil information. Generally, GSIF i) facilitate crowd-sourced, web-based entry, storage and extraction of soil profile data, area-class soil maps and global grids of environmental data, such as satellite imagery, digital elevation maps and climate and land cover maps; ii) support the automated production of consistent, harmonized soil maps at multiple spatial scales; iii) strengthen soil information handling capacity in an interactive and participatory process; iv) provide feedback mechanisms to increase accuracy and user engagement; and to v) provide added-value products and processing chains to local, national, regional and global soil science communities. FOSS is instrumental in a ) development of these components, and b ) in deployment in our training component and its users around the world, where budget and knowledge constraints are limiting capacity building.&lt;br /&gt;

; Abstract Opensource enforces interoperability&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Interoperability is good for business, because organizations are less tied to a certain supplier. (OGC) standards are the basis for interoperability, but in practice standards don’t guarantee interoperability. Open source software facilitates the last step in interoperability, due to (i) availability of wide communities discussing features, (ii) the open character attracts people to patch the system and (iii) the business model of open source is for a major part based on software development. Take the metadata Use Case. People looking for spatial data, find data through a catalogue, and want to add this data to a map. OGC has put quite a big framework of standards to support this use case (CSW, iso19115, iso19119). But in the real world there are some 10 server-implementations, and none of them fully supports the way the use-case is implemented in one of the others. In the Open source domain developers automatically start discussions to have the gap fixed, and come up with new standards like DClite4G.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
== Intro ==&lt;br /&gt;
For this years OSGeo track on GWF we looked for an optimal blend of succesfull opensource usecases and some substantive talks to enlarge insight in business concepts around open source software in the geospatial sector. You'll notice there is a slight focus on metadata use. Since metadata is one of the major players in making geospatial data accessible. And data is what we've seen a lot of last year. About every week some country or city announced a new open data portal. And a vast amount of open data is location oriented. Providing new opportunities for Enterprizes to create appealling apps. &lt;br /&gt;

; Abstract&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGEO), modeled loosely on the Apache Foundation, was founded in March, 2006.  The OSGEO has been incredibly successful and has grown rapidly to support 25 or so projects, some in incubation, 20 chapters worldwide, and a national conference, FOSS4G, which last year in Denver attracted about 900 participants.One of the most important developments in open source software is the rise of the open source foundation driven by a several needs, among which one of the most important is the need for corporate engagement. These non profit legal entities offer projects important benefits that are difficult for a project to fund on its own including providing a host for managing fiscal and intellectual property shared resources such as trademarks and shared copyrights, governance, and a liability firewall for community participants. These foundation encourage trust in the long term stability of the projects they support and, most importantly for enterprise software, they encourage corporate participation. A number of people advocating for open source geospatial software have seen the need for services and facilitates to enable corporate engagement. The Eclipse Foundation provides services to reduce friction for organizations to re-use and contribute to open source projects. This supports business developing products and services that depend upon open source and in turn, the open source projects benefit from re-use, investment, and increased credibility. Based on this thinking the Eclipse Foundation with a team of representatives from notable companies and open source projects has initiated what is now officially known as the Eclipse Foundation LocationTech Working Group along. The LocationTech Working Group is intended to complement the important role the OSGEO and to fill an important gap in the enterprise geospatial market and provide benefits to the broader open source community. In this presentation the motivation for, business benefits, and an overview of the structure of the LocationTech Working Group will be presented.&lt;br /&gt;

He developed the architecture of the eContent+ project ESDIN for a consortium of 12 European National Mapping Agencies. He has a thorough background in agile management and has guided a diverse selection of teams through the changes that are required for successful implementation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Abstract&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The term &amp;quot;Open Data&amp;quot; touches a broad range of aspects concerning data access, ownership, copyright and licensing but it is neither well defined nor clear cut. As a result there is a lot of potential for misunderstanding depending on who uses it in which context. At the same time Open Data has become a core term used in data policies which calls of a much clearer definition. Increasingly businesses are looking into how Open Data can be leveraged to create added value. To bring clarity into this situation the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) maintains a white paper on Open Data in the geospatial context. It contains a clear definition of the terms, puts them into context and offers an additional set of criteria to more precisely define the scope of Open Data. It can be split into three major types:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Factual data collections where values should not be modified (e.g. temperature measurement, speed control data).&lt;br /&gt;
* Authoritative data which is part of a legal framework and system.&lt;br /&gt;
* Community processed data which is created and maintained in an open and transparent consensus process. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally the presentation will give examples of commercial uses of all three types of Open Data. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
; Abstract Using standards to protect investments in Open Source GIS &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One expects from closed source suppliers that new software versions are either backwards compatible or that a smooth upgrade process is available. Potential users of open source feel insecure in this respect. This presentation will promote the use of standards as an insurance policy against the risk of getting stuck with an abandoned GIS&lt;br /&gt;
project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
B3Partners offers a comprehensive GIS suite that covers most aspects of a geospatial &lt;br /&gt;
infrastructure: loading of data (ETL), design of maps, security and a geo-cms for &lt;br /&gt;
publication. This suite is build completely from open source projects. B3Partners did &lt;br /&gt;
add wizards and user interfaces to ensure utilization without any programming effort. &lt;br /&gt;
From the start B3Partners was aware of the risk that one of the underlying projects &lt;br /&gt;
would no longer be supported. Therefore B3Partners designed an architecture based on &lt;br /&gt;
building blocks that communicate using standards to minimize aforementioned risks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The B3P GIS Suite uses well known OGC standards like WMS, WFS and CSW for &lt;br /&gt;
communication between the building blocks of the suite. One of more important and &lt;br /&gt;
visible building blocks is the viewer engine. Back in 2008 B3Partners used a Flash &lt;br /&gt;
engine, but at the time we foresaw that this may become obsolete over time. Therefore &lt;br /&gt;
we devised an javascript interface for map engines. The Flash engine was embedded &lt;br /&gt;
using this interface. Later this interface allowed us the embed OpenLayers and now &lt;br /&gt;
Leaflet could be next. Thus we are changing engines without the need to change the &lt;br /&gt;
other building blocks. This protects our investment.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
; Abstract Using standards to protect investments in Open Source GIS &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One expects from closed source suppliers that new software versions are either backwards compatible or that a smooth upgrade process is available. Potential users of open source feel insecure in this respect. This presentation will promote the use of standards as an insurance policy against the risk of getting stuck with an abandoned GIS&lt;br /&gt;
project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
B3Partners offers a comprehensive GIS suite that covers most aspects of a geospatial &lt;br /&gt;
infrastructure: loading of data (ETL), design of maps, security and a geo-cms for &lt;br /&gt;
publication. This suite is build completely from open source projects. B3Partners did &lt;br /&gt;
add wizards and user interfaces to ensure utilization without any programming effort. &lt;br /&gt;
From the start B3Partners was aware of the risk that one of the underlying projects &lt;br /&gt;
would no longer be supported. Therefore B3Partners designed an architecture based on &lt;br /&gt;
building blocks that communicate using standards to minimize aforementioned risks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The B3P GIS Suite uses well known OGC standards like WMS, WFS and CSW for &lt;br /&gt;
communication between the building blocks of the suite. One of more important and &lt;br /&gt;
visible building blocks is the viewer engine. Back in 2008 B3Partners used a Flash &lt;br /&gt;
engine, but at the time we foresaw that this may become obsolete over time. Therefore &lt;br /&gt;
we devised an javascript interface for map engines. The Flash engine was embedded &lt;br /&gt;
using this interface. Later this interface allowed us the embed OpenLayers and now &lt;br /&gt;
Leaflet could be next. Thus we are changing engines without the need to change the &lt;br /&gt;
other building blocks. This protects our investment.&lt;br /&gt;

ISRIC - World Soil Information is an independent foundation and the ICSU accredited World Data Centre for Soils (WDC-Soils). It was founded in 1964 through the International Soil Science Society (ISSS) and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). It has a mandate to serve the international community with information about the world’s soil resources to help addressing major global issues. ISRIC operates on three priority areas: i) soil data and soil mapping, ii) application of soil data in global development issues and iii) training and education&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Abstract&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ISRIC has a mandate to serve the international community as custodian of world soil data and information and to increase awareness and understanding of soils in major global issues. ISRIC collects, stores, processes and disseminates global soil and terrain information for research and development of sustainable land use.. To fulfil this role at the global scale ISRIC has developed its web-based FOSS based Global Soil Information Facilities (GSIF), which also contains an enterprise database “World Soil Information Services” for storing soil information. Generally, GSIF i) facilitate crowd-sourced, web-based entry, storage and extraction of soil profile data, area-class soil maps and global grids of environmental data, such as satellite imagery, digital elevation maps and climate and land cover maps; ii) support the automated production of consistent, harmonized soil maps at multiple spatial scales; iii) strengthen soil information handling capacity in an interactive and participatory process; iv) provide feedback mechanisms to increase accuracy and user engagement; and to v) provide added-value products and processing chains to local, national, regional and global soil science communities. FOSS is instrumental in a ) development of these components, and b ) in deployment in our training component and its users around the world, where budget and knowledge constraints are limiting capacity building.&lt;br /&gt;

Java, multimedia and mobile applications. After having developed several&lt;br /&gt;
GPS mobile apps and having a lifelong passion for maps, he&lt;br /&gt;
fell for the beauty of the Geospatial domain. For Just, Free and Open Source&lt;br /&gt;
has always been 'a way of life'. He has initiated and contributed to&lt;br /&gt;
numerous open source geospatial projects such as GeoNetwork, the Heron&lt;br /&gt;
Mapping Client and recently NLExtract, ETL tools for free Dutch&lt;br /&gt;
geospatial datasets. He attempts to regularly contribute as a mapper to&lt;br /&gt;
OpenStreetMap. Just is representative of OSGeo.nl, the&lt;br /&gt;
Dutch Language Local chapter of the international Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo.org).&lt;br /&gt;

=== Paul van Genuchten ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Paul van Genuchten graduated in 99 for his masters in Soil Science at Wageningen University. Just in time to notice the first interactive maps on the web. Fascinated by this phenomena he started developing in the world of web mapping using open source technologies like Mapserver, Postgis and OpenLayers. More recently he focussed on SDI-architectures and metadata implementations for Inspire. Last year he joined GeoCat, the founder of the Geonetwork OpenSource project, where he is a developer and consultant on any Open SDI related matter, with a focus on metadata. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
; Abstract Opensource enforces interoperability&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Interoperability is good for business, because organizations are less tied to a certain supplier. (OGC) standards are the basis for interoperability, but in practice standards don’t guarantee interoperability. Open source software facilitates the last step in interoperability, due to (i) availability of wide communities discussing features, (ii) the open character attracts people to patch the system and (iii) the business model of open source is for a major part based on software development. Take the metadata Use Case. People looking for spatial data, find data through a catalogue, and want to add this data to a map. OGC has put quite a big framework of standards to support this use case (CSW, iso19115, iso19119). But in the real world there are some 10 server-implementations, and none of them fully supports the way the use-case is implemented in one of the others. In the Open source domain developers automatically start discussions to have the gap fixed, and come up with new standards like DClite4G.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

Ik zie dat gemeente Zaanstad tot de mogelijke sprekers behoort.&lt;br /&gt;
Ik heb daar een paar maanden meegeholpen aan de ZaanAtlas en ken de betrokken mensen aldaar.&lt;br /&gt;
Wellicht kan ik ergens aan meehelpen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
--[[User:BioBarent|BioBarent]] 08:12, 20 October 2012 (PDT)&lt;br /&gt;
Er staat ook een afterparty gepland, lijkt me leuk. Van mij mogen ook best de voetjes van de vloer, op goede muziek natuurlijk,&lt;br /&gt;
OSGEO is toch een beetje een vrijgevochten club, meer rock 'n roll dan stijfjes denk en hoop ik.&lt;br /&gt;
De muziek kunnen we afstemmen op het geo-thema, bijvoorbeeld :&lt;br /&gt;

== Planning Stage ==&lt;br /&gt;
GWF is organized in Rotterdam from 13 to 16 May The idea is to make this year a half day track, in a slightly larger room than last year. Geocat (Paul/Jeroen) 'll draw the preparations, they're open to all kinds of suggestions and offers to lend a hand :-). We did send out some invitations for slots to fill and based on the replies created a short list. At the end of the track we want to do a panel discussion. For now we didn't apply for a booth, since it's quite costly and the expo is not even opened on the 16th.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the tentative program (deadline this week) I created this intro:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''For this years OSGeo track on GWF we looked for an optimal blend of succesfull opensource usecases and some substantive &lt;br /&gt;
talks to enlarge insight in business concepts around open source software in the geospatial sector. You'll notice there is &lt;br /&gt;
a slight focus on metadata use. Since metadata is one of the major players in making geospatial data accessible. And data &lt;br /&gt;
is what we've seen a lot of last year. About every week some country or city announced a new open data portal. And a vast &lt;br /&gt;
amount of open data is location oriented. Providing new opportunities for Enterprizes to create appealling apps.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Find the list of speakers (+bio/abstacts) at [[GWF2013_program]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Friday January 18th we have a meeting at station Utrecht 9.30am with Megha Datta from GWF to discuss the programme (also she will hand out some preliminary leaflets for the conference). feel free to join&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

== Planning Stage ==&lt;br /&gt;
GWF is organized in Rotterdam from 13 to 16 May The idea is to make this year a half day track, in a slightly larger room than last year. Geocat (Paul/Jeroen) 'll draw the preparations, they're open to all kinds of suggestions and offers to lend a hand :-). We did send out some invitations for slots to fill and based on the replies created a short list. At the end of the track we want to do a panel discussion. For now we didn't apply for a booth, since it's quite costly and the expo is not even opened on the 16th.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the tentative program (deadline this week) I created this intro:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''For this years OSGeo track on GWF we looked for an optimal blend of succesfull opensource usecases and some substantive &lt;br /&gt;
talks to enlarge insight in business concepts around open source software in the geospatial sector. You'll notice there is &lt;br /&gt;
a slight focus on metadata use. Since metadata is one of the major players in making geospatial data accessible. And data &lt;br /&gt;
is what we've seen a lot of last year. About every week some country or city announced a new open data portal. And a vast &lt;br /&gt;
amount of open data is location oriented. Providing new opportunities for Enterprizes to create appealling apps.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

On Friday January 18th we have a meeting at station Utrecht 9.30am with Megha Datta from GWF to discuss the programme (also she will hand out some preliminary leaflets for the conference). feel free to join&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
