Meeting
The board has been discussing the idea of getting people together for a face-to-face meeting to establish, and work on, priorities. A meetup / workshop needs clear goals. If we could set them, this could be a really useful occasion.
When and Where
June 11th and 12th at the Autodesk San Rafael offices.
This is just preceeding the Where 2.0 conference June 13/14 in San Jose which is relatively nearby. (According to Google, San Rafael to San Jose is 67 miles / 74 minutes.)
Attendees
Board members and committee members of VisCom, WebCom and the Fundraising committees are encouraged to attend.
- Frank Warmerdam will attend.
- mpg could attend as a VisCom person (I will be at Where 13th-14th, unless I have to be at the OWS kickoff 13th-16th)
- Arnulf Christl will attend
- Jo Walsh will attend
- Dave McIlhagga will attend - likely arrive Sunday AM
- Gary Lang will attend
- Tyler Mitchell will attend (also from VisCom)
- please add availability for other people
Goals
For a one- or two- day meeting there need to be clear goals identifiable.
WebCom:
- OSGeo Web style established.
- Project style guidelines.
- Content plan completed.
Board:
- Briefing by Mark Lucus on open source related activities within DOD.
- Develop a 2005/2006 budget.
- General strategy discussions.
- Discuss the stated priorities and how we meet them
- Make sure that the VisCom is as focused on promoting OSGeo projects as it is OSGeo itself, (if not more?)
- Try to reach consensus on new projects to admit to incubation.
VisCom:
- Prepare conference presentation materials (for Where 2.0, and more general use).
- General strategy discussions.
Logistics
- Best way to get from SFO to San Rafael?
- What arrival times are people having at SFO? Maybe possible to hire a car together?
- What hotels are near to venue?
- "The closest hotel to our office (right next door) is the Embassy Suites"
- Best way to get from San Rafael to San Jose at end of meeting? Share a bus/van?
