==== OpenStreetMap Oceania ====
 +
OSGeo Oceania [https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Local_Chapters has been recognised] by the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF) as the official local chapter in the region.
 +
 
 +
As the official local chapter, we are able to support the development of the OpenStreetMap community in Oceania while making sure our diverse range of interests are represented, supported, and promoted.
 +
 
 +
In 2020, a prospective working group was convened to focus specifically on OpenStreetMap and our role as a local chapter. Minutes from the inaugural meeting [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TOTHXim1USSbmgR_AftmRRk2GWOwiYM8OhFm0AuA1A8/edit# can be found here]. The working group discussed long term priorities, so [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vjb5ALk_KedSVoFVacw3QCEvVvyTKLafu4ji_g0bfqM/edit?usp=sharing feel free to contribute to the discussion here].
 +
 
 +
The SIG is not currently active (as of February 2024).
 +
 
 +
Note, while OSGeo Oceania is currently the recognised local chapter in the region, we are fully supportive of other groups that may form in Oceania with the intent of becoming a local chapter. One example would be a national entity that determines their interests would better represented as an independent local chapter. If this was to occur, OSGeo Oceania would be fully supportive and will not claim to speak for groups who do not wish to be represented.

Latest revision as of 04:10, 11 November 2024

Organisation

OSGeo Oceania's purpose is to support and grow the open geospatial community in the Oceania region, including the oversight and stewardship of the FOSS4G SotM Oceania conference series.

The Oceania region includes countries listed in the United Nations Geoscheme for Oceania. We have also included Timor-Leste in our Travel Grant Program. We recognise the important cultural and social connections with other countries in the broader region, such as the Philippines.

We recognise the long-established Pacific Islands Chapter of OSGeo, and work closely with them to build a strong community across our region.

How to learn more & get involved

The best way to stay up to date on what we're doing is to join our mailing lists:

  • oceania - discussion about the regional open geospatial community and OSGeo Oceania
  • foss4g-oceania - FOSS4G SotM Oceania conference planning
  • oceania-board - OSGeo Oceania board discussion (public)

There's also a lot of informal chatter on the Maptime Oceania Slack group: join here

And you can head to the conference website (link below) and join the conference updates mailing list there.

If you want to talk about how you can get involved, feel free to post on any of these channels, or drop us a line at admin@osgeo-oceania.org.

  • govern and manage OSGeo Oceania, with regard to finance, risk, and sustainability of the organisation
  • provide oversight of the conference committee, and ongoing stewardship of the conference series
  • coordinate other related outreach activities, including local FOSS4G and State of the Map events
  • maintain a relationship with OSGeo and the OpenStreetMap Foundation, and maintain OSGeo & OSMF chapters in good standing

Special Interest Groups

Special Interest Groups (SIG) are ad-hoc groups that have been established to support a specific topic. Their narrow, topic specific focus is what distinguishes them from the functionally focused working groups. Any member of OSGeo Oceania can propose the creation of a new SIG by following the SIG Guidelines outlined here.

OpenStreetMap Oceania

OSGeo Oceania has been recognised by the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF) as the official local chapter in the region.

As the official local chapter, we are able to support the development of the OpenStreetMap community in Oceania while making sure our diverse range of interests are represented, supported, and promoted.

In 2020, a prospective working group was convened to focus specifically on OpenStreetMap and our role as a local chapter. Minutes from the inaugural meeting can be found here. The working group discussed long term priorities, so feel free to contribute to the discussion here.

The SIG is not currently active (as of February 2024).

Note, while OSGeo Oceania is currently the recognised local chapter in the region, we are fully supportive of other groups that may form in Oceania with the intent of becoming a local chapter. One example would be a national entity that determines their interests would better represented as an independent local chapter. If this was to occur, OSGeo Oceania would be fully supportive and will not claim to speak for groups who do not wish to be represented.
