== Code Sprints ==

We have asked project teams for guidance to help set our code sprint budget:

* please note our [[Code Sprint Guidelines]] ask for event details, budget and fundraising on your part.
* Code sprint funding is setup to help carry funds from one event to the next allowing us to hold more code-sprints with a smaller annual budget.
* Out priority is to share the risk with organizers allowing access to funds early to book facilities as required
* We had requests to fund sprints that were part of larger events, these escaped our 2017 planning but were still funded to the best of our abilities

== Code Sprints ==

We have asked project teams for guidance to help set our code sprint budget:

* please note our [[Code Sprint Guidelines]] ask for event details, budget and fundraising on your part.
* Code sprint funding is setup to help carry funds from one event to the next allowing us to hold more code-sprints with a smaller annual budget.
* Out priority is to share the risk with organizers allowing access to funds early to book facilities as required
* We had requests to fund sprints that were part of larger events, these escaped our 2017 planning but were still funded to the best of our abilities

== Code Sprints ==

We have asked project teams for guidance to help set our code sprint budget:

* please note our [[Code Sprint Guidelines]] ask for event details, budget and fundraising on your part.
* Code sprint funding is setup to help carry funds from one event to the next allowing us to hold more code-sprints with a smaller annual budget.
* Out priority is to share the risk with organizers allowing access to funds early to book facilities as required
* We had requests to fund sprints that were part of larger events, these escaped our 2017 planning but were still funded to the best of our abilities

Please note: per august 2016 a new logo design and collaterale update is under way

* stickers to be printed
* OSGEo Flyer(s) to be printed

* Banners:
http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/exhibitionpack/
I suggest both: OSGeo_popup and OSGeo_popup2
Ask printer/see on printer-site, whether the PDF of SVG format is needed. Silk finish or silk matt finish for readability (light glare during exhibitions is high)

* Brochure:
OSGeo_Brochure_2010_PRINT_A4_spread.pdf
(this is single A4 back and front)
I suggest minimum paperweight of 100 gram paper, silk or silk matt finished.
Ask printer to fold, preferably not do so yourself (bothersome and never a crips bend)
Usually I count max 100 brochures per exhibition day on average. Now, 300 will do I expect.

* Table runner
http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/marketing/exhibitionpack/
If printer is able to print on cloth, you could order:
OSGeo_tablerunner
Please check with printer if PDF or SVG file format required

Per FOSS4G 2016 this was 10.0 version

Talk:Marketing Committee

2016-04-14T15:58:44Z

Wiki-MarcVloemans:

== OSGeo Marketing Plan; choices and outline. ==
''"If you want to rule the world, focus and organize accordingly!"''

== '''Introduction and challenge''' ==

The present vision and mission statements translate into a list of goals with objectives, but bypass a critical intermediate step. It does not explicitly address the (un-)intended added value to stakeholders and their perceptions of OSGeo, the audiences we target, the measurable steps the foundation takes in delivering this value etc. The presently large amount of activities mentioned on the website suggests a vibrant and diverse community. However, looking deeper one notices that some are less alive as might be expected (see wiki’s and webpages for Marketing committee, Geo Data working group, Website, Journal, Sponsoring).

Without explicit and widely understood choices and prioritization the scarcely available human and financial resources are easily less effective or worse; misdirected. Any issue addressed will have a piece-meal and post-hoc nature. Not to mention that it demotivates and burns out those actively involved and mystifies and deters potential members/stakeholders.

== '''OSGeo stakeholders/community/Eco-system''' ==

OSGeo has gained a membership of individual users and developers, who implicitly represent a wide range of organizations, sectors and geographies. These individuals belong to organizations representing; Business, Education, Public Sector, NGO, Research and Partners. We reach out and interact with these stakeholders on an organizational or individual level or both. Per country, region or continent and even globally.

'''At an individual level'''
• Education&Research; Students: These are the developers, policy and decision makers, supporters and advocates of the future; catch them young, catch them early. Academics: Through adoption of open spatial technology in their curriculum and research projects they actively promote and disseminate open spatial IT. Researchers:
• Engineering; These are the developers who are quite often actively involved in one or more of the OSGeo projects. They largely determine the health of the OSGeo projects.
• Non-tech end-usage: This segment is an aggregation of those who are professionally involved in open spatial IT, with little or no engineering background. Think of; professionals involved in sales & marketing, general management, HR and the like, Also, public policy and geospatial related tasks (disaster management, land registry etc.)

'''At an organizational level'''
• Open spatial companies; Service providers delivering professional
• (Semi-)Governmental organizations
• NGO’s: OGC, OSI, IKAN, others
• Industry sectors:
• Like-minded organizations; In our strive for attention and funding we could find ourselves competing for the same (scarce) resources and attention. However, we can also complement and support each other.
• Partners: those organizations that can help fulfill our mission and share (part of) our goals.

'''At a aggregated level'''
• Geographical; Developing countries vs Developed countries
• (Semi-)Government Sectors
• Not-for-Profits/NGO’s

'''What do we know about them?'''

At present it has become a rather varied audience, with different and/or overlapping characteristics. Although we can make some broad assumptions, some extra insights are very helpful to be effective in appointing resources to the right groups:
• The total present members, their relative numbers, their location, their sector background, their individual professional background etc
• The level of effort and time it will take to reach them vs. the impact
• The value they expect and derive from OSGeo and its offering
• The decision making process to choose for OSGeo and its offerings
• How and why they use open/closed/hybrid spatial IT
• Specific support requirements OSgeo may fullfil
• How best to reach them; in/directly, on/offline,
• Other

== '''Some analysis and strategic options''' ==

'''OSGeo strengths'''

A number of OSGeo projects have become the backbone of open spatial IT, underpinning the business models of various important commercial players. Not to mention the amount of end-user organizations in government and not-for-profit sectors worldwide. These projects solely provide OSGeo with the credibility for all its other activities, so should be communicated and acted upon accordingly.

The global and regional FOSS4G’s are successful in terms of ‘gathering of the tribe(s)’, geographic and sector outreach and open spatial advocacy and community support. They provide the most visible presence for OSGeo.
The Geo for All initiative is gaining momentum and OSGeo Live still finds its way to new users due to the efforts of many volunteers. These three ‘brands’ are OSGeo’s crown jewels and ‘tangible’ products, which deserve a professional approach in terms of ‘product management’.

'''OSGeo weaknesses'''

OSGeo is organized as an Open Source Project (its the MapServer origins), including the culture, structure and processes. But it is no such project (anymore), actually. It has become an umbrella for various open spatial IT projects and related initiatives. OSGeo has become larger that its projects; a facilitator, champion and marketer for these as well as open spatial tech at large. This type of entity requires an approach, agenda, organization, tasks, resources and roles, which supersede and are different from those of a single project.

Traditionally the large majority of members in open source communities consists of engineers. With the superseding remit and growth of OSGeo a plethora of additional activities, tasks and roles have emerged. More time and effort is needed for administration (finance, membership) and support (of lists, repositories, funds etc), governance (of finances, voting, planning), volunteer/people management, outreach, advocacy and promotion. Necessary activities for which many engineers have not signed on, nor have the time, interest or specialized expertise for. Volunteers are donating discretionary time: mostly spend on something they care about, in the way they ‘believe’ in the remit, when available and until other priorities take over. It simply is ‘the nature of the beast’: non-tech tasks are not popular.

Last but not least, we often reinvent the wheel and ‘acquire experience, the moment after we need it’. OSGeo has few established standardized, broadly understood daily processes apart from ‘voting’. And if there is another process needed (sponsoring), one has the time consuming and demotivating task to dig deep in the wiki or other people’s memory to find a de-facto process. Especially if this involves a task/role/activity that somebody is not an expert on the efforts and the results run the risk of being suboptimal. Not to mention the interrelatedness of various activities (e.g. sponsoring-marketing-partnering-finance). Concluding; the self-management principles of the OSGeo-community have reached their limits.

'''Opportunities'''

Present public legislation and policies are increasingly favoring open source in general. In the public sector too end-users are looking for cost effective, more flexible and reliable open source alternatives to closed-source legacies. Furthermore, increased public interest in closely related areas such as open data, open standards, open access, open government etc. provide further fertile soil, interest and allies for OSGeo. This could enable OSGeo to syndicate/partner with a wide range of initiatives and organizations to fulfill its mission without doing all its outreach and advocacy work alone.
The growing impact of geo-referenced information in our lives provides the spatial IT sector with an increasing user base. Due to its particular conduciveness for open innovation methods and low entry barriers open spatial tech is well positioned to cater to a growing number of new users, businesses and services. Quite a few stakeholders profit commercially from our work and should benefit from co-branding with OSGeo. This should make OSGeo very appealing to commercial sponsorships, donations and other financial support to professionalize various organizational activities and fulfill our remit independently.

'''Challenges'''

Open source software communities thrive when complemented by commercial ecosystems with a mix of freelancers and small/medium/large sized enterprises. Secondly, DIY-IT is becoming obsolete when organizations focus on their core business and processes. Through professional support services in the marketplace commercial entities provide continuity and quality to the non-tech end-users. The larger the service provider, the larger the end-user organization and the bigger the impact/adoption is of open spatial in the market place. However, the vast majority of service providers that are (in-)directly active in OSGeo’s commercial eco-system are <10 FTE’s. They are not able to invest much in market development, which inhibits the adoption of OSGeo projects and sponsor-capacity for OSGeo.

The fact that GPL, the OSGeo license of choice, is loosing the limelight to more commercially friendly licenses (https://osswatch.jiscinvolve.org/wp/) adds to the situation mentioned above. Which is for example a large ingredient of the present traction of the LocationTech/Eclipse Foundation. Its GPL-focus could make OSGeo make less appealing to new incubation projects and associated eco-systems of large(r) supporting organizations.

'''What can we derive from the above?'''

If our strengths and weakness are compared to the opportunities and challenges, some insights can be derived about our future direction and activities:
1) OSGeo’s projects and products (and thereby OSGeo as a whole) can complement and add value to the objectives of many potential partner organizations. It enables OSGeo to position itself more at the heart of the ‘open movement’. Choosing the right partners can leverage our remit and objectives.
2) OSGeo’s projects and products have traction and brand recognition from which numerous commercial and non-profits indirectly derive income. Co-branding these offerings with general and GIS-specific open source initiatives raises our profile and reach. This should attract either appropriate partners and/or potential sponsors to alleviate our weaknesses.
3) Present organizational set up, lack of general resources and non-tech expertise could be improved upon by a mix of improvement of internal organization, sharing tasks with the right partners and commercializing the brand ‘OSGeo’/sponsoring etc. for additional resources.
4) OSGeo’s organization and member participation cannot keep up with present plethora of demands and ambitions. Its present commercial eco-system is not able to provide the additional financial/human support needed, so OSGeo will have to limit its ambitions and/or extend its eco-system.

== '''Strategic option''' ==

According to the Bylaws of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation: “The purposes of the corporation are to establish and support a diverse open source community to foster the development, advancement and promotion of open geospatial software technology and data”.
As such we are a platform/commons for initiatives from and by its members regarding outreach, advocacy and support. We need a coherent strategy to be effective. A strategy, which is not only about what we envision, but what our intended audiences want/require as well.

Any (ours too) strategy is about a triangle of items, which need to be aligned to be effective:
• Which value do we want to provide for which stakeholders/audiences?
• What benefits do stakeholders/audiences expect from OSGeo?
• What is OSGeo presently realistically capable of doing?

Presently there is no statement of the intended value we want to deliver (apart from OSGeo Live), nor do we have detailed insights in what our world expects from us. We have to guestimate and assume that what we want to provide is sufficient….
The culture/attitude of ‘scratching one’s individual itch’ on a voluntary basis has left parts of the organization (e.g. product management, marketing promotion, sponsoring, community management) vulnerable. Sadly we cannot boast huge financial reserves or abundance of volunteers/experts, especially for the non-tech tasks. Thus, we obviously need to prioritize our ambitions and focus our efforts accordingly.

'''What is OSGeo capable of; cut our cloth to our means'''

'''Con''': This could entail that we don’t meet all the demands from our Bylaws, our strategic goals, our intended audience and even our members. Any unforeseen valuable activity ‘falling off the wagon’ may alienate present members and stakeholders.

'''Pro''': we avoid burning out volunteers, we utilize scarce resources more effectively realistically by having the appropriate resources for our ambitions.

'''To-do''': to ‘…develop advance and promote open geospatial software technology..’ (see Bylaws), through Outreach, Advocacy and Support, through:
'''A) Outreach''': community-based outreach efforts are critical to help potentially interested engineers and non-techs learn about, benefit from open geospatial IT and in turn spread awareness. Outreach activities include: Board Objectives ‘It is time to showcase how great our communities are’, The focus can be on regions, industry sectors, governmental bodies, related communities or combinations.
'''How:'''
• Drop Open Data from OSGeo priorities, because it has been and will be too ambitious to execute directly, unless volunteers rise to the occasion.
• Enlist, empower/support and facilitate individual community members and local chapters in outreach matters regarding regions, industry sectors, governmental bodies, related communities or combinations, see also ‘Support’ below. (Board objective: ‘Engage with our teams’)
• Introduce professional product management principles to OSGeo services and products.
• Promote specific OSGeo services/products for specific target stakeholders.
• Communicate who we are for whom and our achievements and products and added values, effectively become a household name) See, Board Objective: ‘Communicate our vision’ plus everything else that follows from Vision.

'''B) Advocacy''': activities to create or change policies, laws, regulations, distribution of resources or other decisions that affect acceptance and usage and to ensure that such decisions lead to adoption. It is directed at policy makers including politicians, government officials and public servants, But also at private sector leaders who commercially benefit from adoption, as well as those whose opinions and actions influence policy makers, such as the media, development agencies and large NGOs.
'''How:'''
• Create, assemble, publish and manage an online body of work (own and third party) like case studies, business cases etc. for partners, associated companies and others to engage
• Individual members who want to act as advocates will be supported with the (online) information as those listed above
• Lacking resources, OSGeo has to partner with advocacy organizations active in the field of open spatial IT and general ‘open’ advocacy matters. Presently OGC, in the future with additional open data organizations, etc.
• Other…

'''C) Support'''; (see, Board Strategic Objective: empower our communities) as in providing everything from organization, technical infrastructure to financing, that enables individual members, working groups/committees, local chapters and partners to work on individual projects and general outreach activities.

'''How:'''
• Manage OSGeo not as a foundation project but as its own unique entity: hire/arrange professional resources for non-individual-project work and infrastructure: just ‘scratching tech itches’ leaves holes in the organization
• Assign funding to get things done and do not solely rely on volunteers.
• Empower volunteers/Local Chapters/Committees through funding, contacts, exposure and guidelines
• (Re-)design and centralize formal processes in conjunction with suppliers and partners (reg. sponsoring, funding, marketing, outsourcing technical-financial-other admin tasks etc.)
• The provision of a central platform to host and manage the general and projects related infrastructure
• The provision of a variety of additional services to facilitate outreach and advocacy by members and partner organizations.
• Support Outreach and Advocacy by howcasing excellence in OSGeo communities (Board goal) and OSGeo as the central place for open spatial IT information and initiatives.

== '''Market Strategy''' ==

'''What does OSGeo stand to gain?'''

Awareness & adoption of open spatial tech, visibility & credibility of OSGeo are hard to measure. However we can measure tangible success to know if the choices we make and resulting actions are the right ones. Some structured monitoring is due; otherwise we loose valuable volunteer time and money. On a more positive note, measurable success motivates and breeds more.

The success of outreach-activities can be measured by :
• # new and #long-term members (baseline!?)
• mix of members reflecting the target audiences
• # new incubation projects
• Liveliness of existing projects, #bug fixes, #contributions, #dev’s etc.
• # new and #loyal sponsors
• Growth eco-system of complementing partners (institutes, foundations etc.)
• Awareness & adoption of open spatial tech through sector/geographical background of new members
• Adoption measured by implemented projects of OSGeo-friendly service providers
• Visibility & credibility OSGeo as the go-to place for open spatial tech through its # and type of partners, sponsors and other contacts.

Beforehand we have to establish/guestimate how much result we expect from a given number of dollars and/or hours.

'''Our proposition for our stakeholders'''

Considering our vision and mission, the underlying question is: what are we to others? What is our proposition to individuals and organizations? What communicates in one single sentence (elevator pitch) what we are to this world?
A working definition of our proposition could be: ‘OSGeo as the go-to place for information on and participation in Open Spatial IT’.

……if someone has a better one, I am all for it!

Wiki-MarcVloemans: /* OSGeo Marketing Plan; choices and outline."If you want to rule the world, focus and organize accordingly!" */ new section

== OSGeo Marketing Plan; choices and outline."If you want to rule the world, focus and organize accordingly!" ==

== '''Introduction and challenge''' ==

The present vision and mission statements translate into a list of goals with objectives, but bypass a critical intermediate step. It does not explicitly address the (un-)intended added value to stakeholders and their perceptions of OSGeo, the audiences we target, the measurable steps the foundation takes in delivering this value etc. The presently large amount of activities mentioned on the website suggests a vibrant and diverse community. However, looking deeper one notices that some are less alive as might be expected (see wiki’s and webpages for Marketing committee, Geo Data working group, Website, Journal, Sponsoring).

Without explicit and widely understood choices and prioritization the scarcely available human and financial resources are easily less effective or worse; misdirected. Any issue addressed will have a piece-meal and post-hoc nature. Not to mention that it demotivates and burns out those actively involved and mystifies and deters potential members/stakeholders.

== '''OSGeo stakeholders/community/Eco-system''' ==

OSGeo has gained a membership of individual users and developers, who implicitly represent a wide range of organizations, sectors and geographies. These individuals belong to organizations representing; Business, Education, Public Sector, NGO, Research and Partners. We reach out and interact with these stakeholders on an organizational or individual level or both. Per country, region or continent and even globally.

'''At an individual level'''
• Education&Research; Students: These are the developers, policy and decision makers, supporters and advocates of the future; catch them young, catch them early. Academics: Through adoption of open spatial technology in their curriculum and research projects they actively promote and disseminate open spatial IT. Researchers:
• Engineering; These are the developers who are quite often actively involved in one or more of the OSGeo projects. They largely determine the health of the OSGeo projects.
• Non-tech end-usage: This segment is an aggregation of those who are professionally involved in open spatial IT, with little or no engineering background. Think of; professionals involved in sales & marketing, general management, HR and the like, Also, public policy and geospatial related tasks (disaster management, land registry etc.)

'''At an organizational level'''
• Open spatial companies; Service providers delivering professional
• (Semi-)Governmental organizations
• NGO’s: OGC, OSI, IKAN, others
• Industry sectors:
• Like-minded organizations; In our strive for attention and funding we could find ourselves competing for the same (scarce) resources and attention. However, we can also complement and support each other.
• Partners: those organizations that can help fulfill our mission and share (part of) our goals.

'''At a aggregated level'''
• Geographical; Developing countries vs Developed countries
• (Semi-)Government Sectors
• Not-for-Profits/NGO’s

'''What do we know about them?'''

At present it has become a rather varied audience, with different and/or overlapping characteristics. Although we can make some broad assumptions, some extra insights are very helpful to be effective in appointing resources to the right groups:
• The total present members, their relative numbers, their location, their sector background, their individual professional background etc
• The level of effort and time it will take to reach them vs. the impact
• The value they expect and derive from OSGeo and its offering
• The decision making process to choose for OSGeo and its offerings
• How and why they use open/closed/hybrid spatial IT
• Specific support requirements OSgeo may fullfil
• How best to reach them; in/directly, on/offline,
• Other

== '''Some analysis and strategic options''' ==

'''OSGeo strengths'''

A number of OSGeo projects have become the backbone of open spatial IT, underpinning the business models of various important commercial players. Not to mention the amount of end-user organizations in government and not-for-profit sectors worldwide. These projects solely provide OSGeo with the credibility for all its other activities, so should be communicated and acted upon accordingly.

The global and regional FOSS4G’s are successful in terms of ‘gathering of the tribe(s)’, geographic and sector outreach and open spatial advocacy and community support. They provide the most visible presence for OSGeo.
The Geo for All initiative is gaining momentum and OSGeo Live still finds its way to new users due to the efforts of many volunteers. These three ‘brands’ are OSGeo’s crown jewels and ‘tangible’ products, which deserve a professional approach in terms of ‘product management’.

'''OSGeo weaknesses'''

OSGeo is organized as an Open Source Project (its the MapServer origins), including the culture, structure and processes. But it is no such project (anymore), actually. It has become an umbrella for various open spatial IT projects and related initiatives. OSGeo has become larger that its projects; a facilitator, champion and marketer for these as well as open spatial tech at large. This type of entity requires an approach, agenda, organization, tasks, resources and roles, which supersede and are different from those of a single project.

Traditionally the large majority of members in open source communities consists of engineers. With the superseding remit and growth of OSGeo a plethora of additional activities, tasks and roles have emerged. More time and effort is needed for administration (finance, membership) and support (of lists, repositories, funds etc), governance (of finances, voting, planning), volunteer/people management, outreach, advocacy and promotion. Necessary activities for which many engineers have not signed on, nor have the time, interest or specialized expertise for. Volunteers are donating discretionary time: mostly spend on something they care about, in the way they ‘believe’ in the remit, when available and until other priorities take over. It simply is ‘the nature of the beast’: non-tech tasks are not popular.

Last but not least, we often reinvent the wheel and ‘acquire experience, the moment after we need it’. OSGeo has few established standardized, broadly understood daily processes apart from ‘voting’. And if there is another process needed (sponsoring), one has the time consuming and demotivating task to dig deep in the wiki or other people’s memory to find a de-facto process. Especially if this involves a task/role/activity that somebody is not an expert on the efforts and the results run the risk of being suboptimal. Not to mention the interrelatedness of various activities (e.g. sponsoring-marketing-partnering-finance). Concluding; the self-management principles of the OSGeo-community have reached their limits.

'''Opportunities'''

Present public legislation and policies are increasingly favoring open source in general. In the public sector too end-users are looking for cost effective, more flexible and reliable open source alternatives to closed-source legacies. Furthermore, increased public interest in closely related areas such as open data, open standards, open access, open government etc. provide further fertile soil, interest and allies for OSGeo. This could enable OSGeo to syndicate/partner with a wide range of initiatives and organizations to fulfill its mission without doing all its outreach and advocacy work alone.
The growing impact of geo-referenced information in our lives provides the spatial IT sector with an increasing user base. Due to its particular conduciveness for open innovation methods and low entry barriers open spatial tech is well positioned to cater to a growing number of new users, businesses and services. Quite a few stakeholders profit commercially from our work and should benefit from co-branding with OSGeo. This should make OSGeo very appealing to commercial sponsorships, donations and other financial support to professionalize various organizational activities and fulfill our remit independently.

'''Challenges'''

Open source software communities thrive when complemented by commercial ecosystems with a mix of freelancers and small/medium/large sized enterprises. Secondly, DIY-IT is becoming obsolete when organizations focus on their core business and processes. Through professional support services in the marketplace commercial entities provide continuity and quality to the non-tech end-users. The larger the service provider, the larger the end-user organization and the bigger the impact/adoption is of open spatial in the market place. However, the vast majority of service providers that are (in-)directly active in OSGeo’s commercial eco-system are <10 FTE’s. They are not able to invest much in market development, which inhibits the adoption of OSGeo projects and sponsor-capacity for OSGeo.

The fact that GPL, the OSGeo license of choice, is loosing the limelight to more commercially friendly licenses (https://osswatch.jiscinvolve.org/wp/) adds to the situation mentioned above. Which is for example a large ingredient of the present traction of the LocationTech/Eclipse Foundation. Its GPL-focus could make OSGeo make less appealing to new incubation projects and associated eco-systems of large(r) supporting organizations.

'''What can we derive from the above?'''

If our strengths and weakness are compared to the opportunities and challenges, some insights can be derived about our future direction and activities:
1) OSGeo’s projects and products (and thereby OSGeo as a whole) can complement and add value to the objectives of many potential partner organizations. It enables OSGeo to position itself more at the heart of the ‘open movement’. Choosing the right partners can leverage our remit and objectives.
2) OSGeo’s projects and products have traction and brand recognition from which numerous commercial and non-profits indirectly derive income. Co-branding these offerings with general and GIS-specific open source initiatives raises our profile and reach. This should attract either appropriate partners and/or potential sponsors to alleviate our weaknesses.
3) Present organizational set up, lack of general resources and non-tech expertise could be improved upon by a mix of improvement of internal organization, sharing tasks with the right partners and commercializing the brand ‘OSGeo’/sponsoring etc. for additional resources.
4) OSGeo’s organization and member participation cannot keep up with present plethora of demands and ambitions. Its present commercial eco-system is not able to provide the additional financial/human support needed, so OSGeo will have to limit its ambitions and/or extend its eco-system.

== '''Strategic option''' ==

According to the Bylaws of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation: “The purposes of the corporation are to establish and support a diverse open source community to foster the development, advancement and promotion of open geospatial software technology and data”.
As such we are a platform/commons for initiatives from and by its members regarding outreach, advocacy and support. We need a coherent strategy to be effective. A strategy, which is not only about what we envision, but what our intended audiences want/require as well.

Any (ours too) strategy is about a triangle of items, which need to be aligned to be effective:
• Which value do we want to provide for which stakeholders/audiences?
• What benefits do stakeholders/audiences expect from OSGeo?
• What is OSGeo presently realistically capable of doing?

Presently there is no statement of the intended value we want to deliver (apart from OSGeo Live), nor do we have detailed insights in what our world expects from us. We have to guestimate and assume that what we want to provide is sufficient….
The culture/attitude of ‘scratching one’s individual itch’ on a voluntary basis has left parts of the organization (e.g. product management, marketing promotion, sponsoring, community management) vulnerable. Sadly we cannot boast huge financial reserves or abundance of volunteers/experts, especially for the non-tech tasks. Thus, we obviously need to prioritize our ambitions and focus our efforts accordingly.

'''What is OSGeo capable of; cut our cloth to our means'''

'''Con''': This could entail that we don’t meet all the demands from our Bylaws, our strategic goals, our intended audience and even our members. Any unforeseen valuable activity ‘falling off the wagon’ may alienate present members and stakeholders.

'''Pro''': we avoid burning out volunteers, we utilize scarce resources more effectively realistically by having the appropriate resources for our ambitions.

'''To-do''': to ‘…develop advance and promote open geospatial software technology..’ (see Bylaws), through Outreach, Advocacy and Support, through:
'''A) Outreach''': community-based outreach efforts are critical to help potentially interested engineers and non-techs learn about, benefit from open geospatial IT and in turn spread awareness. Outreach activities include: Board Objectives ‘It is time to showcase how great our communities are’, The focus can be on regions, industry sectors, governmental bodies, related communities or combinations.
'''How:'''
• Drop Open Data from OSGeo priorities, because it has been and will be too ambitious to execute directly, unless volunteers rise to the occasion.
• Enlist, empower/support and facilitate individual community members and local chapters in outreach matters regarding regions, industry sectors, governmental bodies, related communities or combinations, see also ‘Support’ below. (Board objective: ‘Engage with our teams’)
• Introduce professional product management principles to OSGeo services and products.
• Promote specific OSGeo services/products for specific target stakeholders.
• Communicate who we are for whom and our achievements and products and added values, effectively become a household name) See, Board Objective: ‘Communicate our vision’ plus everything else that follows from Vision.

'''B) Advocacy''': activities to create or change policies, laws, regulations, distribution of resources or other decisions that affect acceptance and usage and to ensure that such decisions lead to adoption. It is directed at policy makers including politicians, government officials and public servants, But also at private sector leaders who commercially benefit from adoption, as well as those whose opinions and actions influence policy makers, such as the media, development agencies and large NGOs.
'''How:'''
• Create, assemble, publish and manage an online body of work (own and third party) like case studies, business cases etc. for partners, associated companies and others to engage
• Individual members who want to act as advocates will be supported with the (online) information as those listed above
• Lacking resources, OSGeo has to partner with advocacy organizations active in the field of open spatial IT and general ‘open’ advocacy matters. Presently OGC, in the future with additional open data organizations, etc.
• Other…

'''C) Support'''; (see, Board Strategic Objective: empower our communities) as in providing everything from organization, technical infrastructure to financing, that enables individual members, working groups/committees, local chapters and partners to work on individual projects and general outreach activities.

'''How:'''
• Manage OSGeo not as a foundation project but as its own unique entity: hire/arrange professional resources for non-individual-project work and infrastructure: just ‘scratching tech itches’ leaves holes in the organization
• Assign funding to get things done and do not solely rely on volunteers.
• Empower volunteers/Local Chapters/Committees through funding, contacts, exposure and guidelines
• (Re-)design and centralize formal processes in conjunction with suppliers and partners (reg. sponsoring, funding, marketing, outsourcing technical-financial-other admin tasks etc.)
• The provision of a central platform to host and manage the general and projects related infrastructure
• The provision of a variety of additional services to facilitate outreach and advocacy by members and partner organizations.
• Support Outreach and Advocacy by howcasing excellence in OSGeo communities (Board goal) and OSGeo as the central place for open spatial IT information and initiatives.

OSGeo Advocate

2015-09-15T10:23:19Z

Wiki-MarcVloemans: /* Europe:The Netherlands */

__FORCETOC__

= Introduction =

OSGeo Advocates are authoritative OSGeo personalities who have volunteered to talk on behalf of the [http://osgeo.org OSGeo foundation]. Advocates should be able to speak well, even better if they are entertaining.

There are hundreds, if not thousands of conferences around the world which have an interest in seeing presentations from authoritative speakers, with deep insights into topics related to Open Source Geospatial Software. Luckily, OSGeo is fortunate to draw extensive membership from around the world, and has access to such authoritative figures within most countries.

= Process for becoming an OSGeo Advocate =

Anyone fitting one of the [[OSGeo_Advocate#Understanding_OSGeo_roles|OSGeo Advocate categories]], may put themselves forward as an OSGeo Advocate. To do so, you will need to:
* Create an OSGeo wiki account, to edit this wiki (See "login" link in top right of this page).
* Add a portrait photo of yourself using the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:Upload Upload file] link in left margin in each page.
* Create a new wiki page http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:YourOSGeoWikiUserName, and populate as per [[User:Template]], (copy and paste from the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=User:Template&action=edit source] so that you see comments in the template).
* You can then add your profile on [[OSGeo_Advocate#OSGeo_Advocates|this wiki page]], under your Region:Country, names ordered alphabetically by First name, using the following:
{{User:<YourOSGeoWikiUserName>}}

= Annual Refresh of Advocate list =
* The list of OSGeo Advocates will be refreshed annually, after the annual voting of OSGeo Charter Members. This will be achieved by removing lapsed Advocates, then moving all Current Advocates into the Past Advocate section. All Advocates will be invited to update their profile, and move their profile back into the current Advocates section.

= Past OSGeo Advocates =
This section lists prior listed Advocates who have not recently updated their profiles.

= Understanding OSGeo roles =

Below is an explanation of roles which Advocates might have been involved in as part of OSGeo:

====[[File:OSGeo_board.png]] [[File:OSGeo_exboard.png]] OSGeo Board Members====
: We only have 9 active OSGeo board members in the world, which have been peer selected based upon their outstanding leadership in the greater OSGeo community.

====[[File:OSGeo_charter.png]] OSGeo Charter Members====
: Charter members are voted into the position based on their [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Membership_Process#Positive_Attributes positive OSGeo attributes], typically based on their contributions toward the OSGeo community. Members tend to be developers and leaders in one or more OSGeo projects, and/or OSGeo business leaders, and have a deep understanding in many of the OSGeo projects and principles of Open Source.

==== [[File:SolKatz.png]] Sol Katz Award ====
: Every year, OSGeo presents the prestigious [http://www.osgeo.org/solkatz Sol Katz Award] to one individual who has demonstrated leadership and contributed significantly to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm.

====[[File:OSGeo_chair.png]] [[File:OSGeo_psc.png]] Voted position in an OSGeo community====
: These people hold a position of responsibility within one of the OSGeo sub-communities. This may be a chair of an OSGeo committee or board member of a Regional Chapter, or a member of a project's Project Steering Committee (PSC).

====[[File:OSGeo_coder.png]] [[File:OSGeo_committee.png]] Developers and Committee Members====
: This is where the real work gets done developing and coordinating development of OSGeo Software.

====[[File:OSGeo_user.png]] OSGeo Community Members====
: These people are actively involved in one or more OSGeo communities, acting as practitioners, users, promoters or supporters of OSGeo software. These people tend to have a practical understanding about how OSGeo software works.

====[[File:OSGeo_translate.png]] OSGeo Translators====
: These people have translated documentation for OSGeo-Live, and/or OSGeo projects. They usually have an established understanding of OSGeo topics and can present them in local languages.

= Expenses =

This OSGeo Advocate list has been designed to help event organisors find local authoritative speakers. Events wishing to import keynote speakers should anticipate covering expenses of these speakers. Note that OSGeo is a volunteer driven organisation without paid positions of authority and OSGeo doesn't budget to cover travel expenses. Note also that unlike proprietary companies, a company promoting Open Source software don't earn license fees when a delegate is convinced to start using the free software.

When budgeting for keynote speakers expect to cover the following expenses:
* Travel, typically including:
** airfare
** visa
** travel insurance (including overseas medical, trip disruption, lost luggage, etc)
** meals during travel
** transit costs to local and host airports
* Accommodation
** standard 3 or 4 star hotel within walking distance of the event
** high speed internet
* Per diem costs
** 3 meals a day
* Speakers fee
** typically $US 1000 per day. (Note that OSGeo volunteer speakers usually have a full time job and will be loosing wages for the duration of the event)

For a rough guide of travel costs refer to the [http://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp US Department of State costs]

Individual speakers may waive any of these costs if attracted to the event for other reasons, and final costs are to be negotiated with the selected speaker.
