<p>Wiki-Porter: /* Project requests */</p> <hr /> <div>== Introduction to the Open Source Geospatial Foundation Wiki ==<br /> This is the community Wiki of the [http://www.osgeo.org/ Open Source Geospatial Foundation]. Please refer to the official web site at http://www.osgeo.org/ for stable documents and policies. This Wiki is the place where documents can be created collaboratively (ie. adoption processes, user hints, suggestions, committee notes, etc.). All web pages that are adopted as official documents will be moved to a CVS or SVN and subsequently appear at the [http://www.osgeo.org/ OSGeo] web site, which is the only official place for documents.<br /> <br /> If you're wondering about how to dive in to OSGeo, what it's all about and how to get involved, see [[Getting Started]].<br /> <br /> == OSGeo Structure ==<br /> <br /> * [https://www.osgeo.org/content/foundation/about.html &quot;About the Foundation&quot;] (official officers, charter docs, etc)<br /> * [[All Members]] -- add information about yourself<br /> * [[History]]<br /> * [[Roadmap]]<br /> * [[Mailing Lists]]<br /> * [[Library]]<br /> <br /> == Committees and Working Groups ==<br /> * [[Board of Directors]] (official) - [[Board tasks]]<br /> * [[Website Committee]] (official) - [[WebComTODO|Current WebCom tasks]]<br /> * [[Fundraising]] Committee (official)<br /> * [[IncCom Wiki|Incubation Committee]] (official)<br /> * [[Promotion and Visibility Committee]] (official)<br /> * [[Public Geospatial Data Committee]] (official; maybe needs a catchier name)<br /> * [[Education and Curriculum Committee]] (official)<br /> * [[SAC|System Administration Committee (SAC)]] (official)<br /> * [[Certification Committee]] (not official) - ''initial ideas stage!''<br /> * [[Conference Committee]] (not official), [[Foss4g2006]] Conference<br /> For a list of scheduled or regularly scheduled meetings of the Board Committees and Working Groups refer to the [[Foundation Calendar]].<br /> <br /> ==Project Specific Wiki ==<br /> The following are sub-sections of the wiki, specific to hosted open source projects at OSGeo.org:<br /> <br /> * [[MapGuide Open Source]]<br /> * [[Brasil | Brazilian OSGeo Chapter]]<br /> * [[Japan | Japan OSGeo Chapter]]<br /> * [[Ottawa Chapter | Ottawa OSGeo Chapter]]<br /> <br /> == Current Proposals and Documents in Editing Process ==<br /> * [[OSGeo Description]] <br /> * [[Press Release Process]]<br /> * [[Press Release Template]]<br /> * [[Talk:Proposed_Press_Release | Translations of Press Release]]<br /> * [[Like Minded Regional Organizations]]<br /> * [[International Outreach]]<br /> * [[Proposed Membership Rules]]<br /> * [[Potential Nominees for Next Membership Election]]<br /> * [[Distribution Special Interest Groups]]<br /> * [[Response to RFI for US Gov GeoSpatial]]<br /> * [[Committee Guidelines]]<br /> * [[Protocol for requesting letter of support]]<br /> * [[Template:Event Timetable]] - list of conferences<br /> * OSGeo [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Source_Geospatial_Foundation Wikipedia entry]<br /> <br /> == Project requests ==<br /> * [[Volunteers Needed]]<br /> * [[AJAX WebMapping Project Request]]<br /> * [[Programming Languages Project]]<br /> * [[Cpanel Installer]]<br /> * [[Languages maps for webs]]<br /> * [[Script Repository]]<br /> * [[NGO Project]]<br /> <br /> == Project Tools ==<br /> [[ OSGeo.org Project Tool FAQ]]<br /> <br /> == Useful Notes ==<br /> * [[Getting Started]] will help you to find about.<br /> * [[How to Edit]] this Wiki.<br /> * [[How to keep Track]] of what is going on in the Wiki.<br /> * [[OSGEO:Protected page guidelines|Protected page guidelines]]<br /> <br /> -----<br /> [[OSGEO:About|Wiki Site Disclaimer]]</div>

<p>Wiki-Porter: </p> <hr /> <div>''This page documents the current discussion and has not yet been approved as official OSGeo policy!''<br /> <br /> The idea of Local Chapters is to provide for Wiki pages and later mailing lists and webspace for documents and files in the native language of the members focusing on main OSGeo activities and approved policies. Local chapters are operated as all Open Source projects with a Project Steering Committee that has to be approved by the board, a list of members, etc.<br /> <br /> == Open Issues ==<br /> * ''Please also read the [[Talk:Local Chapter Guidelines | discussion page]]''<br /> * Should there rather be local (or localized) chapters for languages or regions or both? Three examples:<br /> * German language is spoken in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. One local '''language''' chapter would make sense.<br /> ** Switzerland has three several official languages, one is German. So one local Swiss chapter with several language sections would make more sense.<br /> ** Portuguese is spoken in Portugal and Brazil (and some other places). One local '''language''' chapter would make sense but the regions are so very different that a separate local chapter would be healthy.<br /> * Wording and semantics: Can the three phases/levels be given names/labels that progress as you move up?<br /> <br /> <br /> == How to start a Regional or Language Group ==<br /> There are several ways to build a localised OSGeo presence. There are three specific levels of involvement that a local/regional or language group can have with OSGeo. This document does not differentiate between a Local/Regional (geographic) or Language-based group. Groups start first as an Interest Group, then become a Chapter and finally a Branch. Some groups may never desire or need to advance beyond an Interest Group.<br /> <br /> === Level one - Interest Group ===<br /> * Similar to the idea of a Linux User Group - language or geographic regional<br /> * Start a new Wiki page as a link from the [[Local Chapters]] page.<br /> * Work out which of the above versions makes most sense (suggest others...)<br /> * Add a short introduction in English language describing what the special needs of this language or localized group are (if its 'only' the language, fine)<br /> * Start a member list (people who show interest) on that page<br /> * Find out and link to other [[Like Minded Regional Organizations]]<br /> * Contact those organizations and try to get a representative to sign up at OSGeo.org<br /> <br /> === Level two - Chapter ===<br /> * Introduce your Chapter initiative to the Discuss List<br /> * Start a motion (with the Board) to make your Chapter an official OSGeo project<br /> * Hold regular meetings and report regularly to membership and board<br /> <br /> === Level three - Full Branch ===<br /> A Chapter might want to set up a more legal, separate entity with its own board, funding, organization, etc. - <br /> * Called a Branch because it is somewhat disconnected and self-reliant<br /> * Maintain a representative tie back to the main OSGeo foundation and its goals<br /> * Aid in running annual conference, especially if local to the branch<br /> <br /> More details to be worked out...<br /> <br /> == Guidelines ==<br /> These guidelines might be split into three categories. See also on [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Talk:Local_Chapter_Guidelines discussion].<br /> * The OSGeo does not want to highjack or take over any groups that already function well! <br /> * In all cases it must be warranted that the OSGeo does not interfere but cooperates with existing groups. <br /> * Ideally OSGeo supports existing groups without imposing strong restrictions.<br /> * All the same OSGeo adheres to its principles. If these are not compatible to the existing local groups a consensus might be worked out.<br /> * At least one representative of the local chapter [[Proposed Membership Rules | must be a member]] of the OSGeo Foundation.<br /> * The chair will produce a weekly, monthly, quarternary report in English language to the OSGeo board.<br /> <br /> A description of issues that arise from cultural aspects of the region and language may help to focus activities.</div>

<p>Wiki-Porter: /* Open Issues */</p> <hr /> <div>''This page documents the current discussion and has not yet been approved as official OSGeo policy!''<br /> <br /> The idea of Local Chapters is to provide for Wiki pages and later mailing lists and webspace for documents and files in the native language of the members focusing on main OSGeo activities and approved policies. Local chapters are operated as all Open Source projects with a Project Steering Committee that has to be approved by the board, a list of members, etc.<br /> <br /> == Open Issues ==<br /> * ''Please also read the [[Talk:Local Chapter Guidelines | discussion page]]''<br /> * Should there rather be local (or localized) chapters for languages or regions or both? Three examples:<br /> * German language is spoken in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. One local '''language''' chapter would make sense.<br /> ** Switzerland has three several official languages, one is German. So one local Swiss chapter with several language sections would make more sense.<br /> ** Portuguese is spoken in Portugal and Brazil (and some other places). One local '''language''' chapter would make sense but the regions are so very different that a separate local chapter would be healthy.<br /> * Wording and semantics: Can the three phases/levels be given names/labels that progress as you move up?<br /> * It looks clear than a languages subdomaining it's a better choice to start with, and that it doesn't duiplicate the countries subdomaining, complimenting it instead. Read about the Catala way [[http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Catala]] ;)<br /> <br /> == How to start a Regional or Language Group ==<br /> There are several ways to build a localised OSGeo presence. There are three specific levels of involvement that a local/regional or language group can have with OSGeo. This document does not differentiate between a Local/Regional (geographic) or Language-based group. Groups start first as an Interest Group, then become a Chapter and finally a Branch. Some groups may never desire or need to advance beyond an Interest Group.<br /> <br /> === Level one - Interest Group ===<br /> * Similar to the idea of a Linux User Group - language or geographic regional<br /> * Start a new Wiki page as a link from the [[Local Chapters]] page.<br /> * Work out which of the above versions makes most sense (suggest others...)<br /> * Add a short introduction in English language describing what the special needs of this language or localized group are (if its 'only' the language, fine)<br /> * Start a member list (people who show interest) on that page<br /> * Find out and link to other [[Like Minded Regional Organizations]]<br /> * Contact those organizations and try to get a representative to sign up at OSGeo.org<br /> <br /> === Level two - Chapter ===<br /> * Introduce your Chapter initiative to the Discuss List<br /> * Start a motion (with the Board) to make your Chapter an official OSGeo project<br /> * Hold regular meetings and report regularly to membership and board<br /> <br /> === Level three - Full Branch ===<br /> A Chapter might want to set up a more legal, separate entity with its own board, funding, organization, etc. - <br /> * Called a Branch because it is somewhat disconnected and self-reliant<br /> * Maintain a representative tie back to the main OSGeo foundation and its goals<br /> * Aid in running annual conference, especially if local to the branch<br /> <br /> More details to be worked out...<br /> <br /> == Guidelines ==<br /> These guidelines might be split into three categories. See also on [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Talk:Local_Chapter_Guidelines discussion].<br /> * The OSGeo does not want to highjack or take over any groups that already function well! <br /> * In all cases it must be warranted that the OSGeo does not interfere but cooperates with existing groups. <br /> * Ideally OSGeo supports existing groups without imposing strong restrictions.<br /> * All the same OSGeo adheres to its principles. If these are not compatible to the existing local groups a consensus might be worked out.<br /> * At least one representative of the local chapter [[Proposed Membership Rules | must be a member]] of the OSGeo Foundation.<br /> * The chair will produce a weekly, monthly, quarternary report in English language to the OSGeo board.<br /> <br /> A description of issues that arise from cultural aspects of the region and language may help to focus activities.</div>

<p>Wiki-Porter: </p> <hr /> <div>to start a posible discusion here..<br /> '''Why there's need of cat.osgeo.org if there's already es.osgeo.org/catala?''' <br /> Well, creating language specific subdomains is not duplicating political/administrative ones.

( :)<br /> <br /> '''Will aplications based in Barcelona which are developed in spanish be supported the by the Catala group or will it need another different place?'''&lt;br /&gt;<br /> -Another url for the web presentation/etc.., different the mailing lists/forums although catalans have the advantatge that we can be posting in catala and spanish people in spanish and have a good thread! if 'they' want to!. &lt;br /&gt;<br /> In an local branch 'office' where there are two official languages, the supporting people should speak both languages, so no need to have an 'office' for catalan and another one for spanish.<br /> <br /> '''How the cat.osgeo.org group has to support a catalonian based OSmap aplication for Perpignan/Perpinya?'''&lt;br /&gt;<br /> -By assuring that (if there's) a french OSGeo associated Foundation, it suports the project in their offices (if have) in Perpignan if there are volunteers from the map project to be 'at the office'. <br /> The local Countries Foundations have to have a Languages friendly policy if they want to sign a colaboration/membership agreement with the OSGeo.&lt;br /&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> '''How to further subdivide regional groups?'''[[http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Catala/Pais_Valencia]].&lt;br /&gt;<br /> In the cat.osgeo.org case(languages), it could go for val.cat.osgeo.org (VALencian is a catalonian dialect) . In the es.osgeo.org case, as said above, it just needs to have a es. map where you can find the cat representatives and tools when you click in Barcelona.<br /> If there's need of, es.orge.org/catalunya better than catalunya-es.osgeo.org.. and also to be consodered iberica.osgeo.org/Pais_Valencia</div>

<p>Wiki-Porter: </p> <hr /> <div>* Proposal to create a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catala]]Catala 'Interest Group'. <br /> <br /> <br /> == GROUP's GOALS ==<br /> <br /> * Translate, verify, maintain and comunicate to the OSGeo board that all catala written content refering to the OSGeo is correct and acurate. <br /> <br /> * Coordinate/support OS mapping activities developed in catala.<br /> <br /> * Monitor that Local (Catalunya, Balears, Pais Valencia, Fraga?, Alguer?, Peripinya?) organizations associated to the OSGEO integrate the language in their areas' projects/activities where catala is present. &lt;br /&gt;<br /> (ex: A Spanish based Foundation associated to the OSGEO which is hosting/supporting [[https://incubator.osgeo.org/process]]OSGeo and/or standalone OS mapping Spanish Estate's based projects has to translate its web(and..) content to catala and accept to support it in their delegations in Catalunya, Balears and Pais Valencia.)<br /> &lt;br /&gt;<br /> <br /> == NEED: ==<br /> <br /> * Mailing list<br /> <br /> * cat.osgeo.org&lt;br /&gt;<br /> Find:&lt;br&gt;<br /> -All available Catalan information about the OSGeo.org.&lt;br /&gt; <br /> -Subregional groups(catala/[[http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Catala/Pais_Valencia]]PaisValencia/..), -List of related (MENTIONING CLEARLY THAT 'IS NOT OFFICAL' or simply not displaying) ongoing projects. &lt;br /&gt;<br /> If europe.osgeo.org is to be, from cat.osgeo.org we will link to the categori(es) afecting us from there and expect link(s) back. Same if there's spain.osgeo.org, iberica.osgeo.org.. <br /> <br /> == PROS ==<br /> <br /> * Meeting place for us <br /> * Gives more confidence for colaborating to the local people/groups because shows that osgeo.org is strongly comitted to suport all languages. (Catalan is a good example)<br /> * The group is to be more involved/caring about the global rules.(responsability and afraid to lose the subdomain) <br /> * Facilities for easier finding/getting potential resources from Spanish Estate based Foundations/etc.. which could be asociated with the global OSGeo.org.<br /> <br /> == CONS ==<br /> <br /> ...</div>
