Background
It is important for the OSGeo Board to meet in person to discuss and make changes to the foundation. The foundation is mature now, and many lingering topics must be dealt with, but are often to detailed to be handled in a one hour meeting or e-mail.
Goals of Meeting
The overall goal of the F2F meeting is to discuss and outline the vision of the foundation. Where are we today, and where do we want to be 5 years from now, and most importantly, setting tasks so that we get there. After this meeting the OSGeo Board, and OSGeo in general, should have a clear focus.
Agenda
- review mission statement
- review foundation goals
- review bylaws
- review projects
- review branding (website etc.)
- review finances
- review relationships with other organizations
Desired Outcomes
- outline the strategic position of OSGeo (what separates OSGeo from others)
- outline strategic themes and activities of OSGeo (see example map image)
- develop a vision for OSGeo (how does the future look like)
- set specific action items that help OSGeo meet its goals
Timing
Weekend of 30 & 31 January 2015. Please be sure to arrive at the latest Friday night, as we will start at 8am Saturday. (original Doodle form) http://doodle.com/poll/yzk7qka3ethkm3eg
