- Brainstorming of ideas for the OSGeo-PH local chapter
- On formulating a 1 year plan for the local chapter - we need to involve more people in meetings before formulating an OSGeo-PH plan and future organizational directions. The agreement is to conduct more informal meetings with other GIS practitioners and groups.
- Possible groups we can promote OSGeo:
- Geodetic Engineering of the Philippines - this is the professional association of GEs in the country. They conduct national and regional assemblies. We can present OSGeo in the association meeting and propose a committiee on open source. Jessie will initiate contact.
- Regional Development Councils - this is a policy governing board under NEDA.
- We will prepare a standard slidedeck as presentation material we can use for presenting OSGeo in the above meetings.
- More training materials needed - there is a general agreement that we need more training/learning resources. ESSC is doing several training modules and commits to share materials to the group.
- Project tie-ups with OSM-PH - we can explore possible project collaborations with Openstreetmap similar to OSGeoJP and OSm Japan chapter.
- Need a better understanding on using open source in the business sector - maybe the next meeting can be a presentation on business use cases of OSGeo.
- Encourage the use the osgeo-ph mailinglist for answering specific GIS questions - Non-english language is OK.
