Previous meetings

Initiatives

While the board is focused on decision making occasionally there is a call for a long term activity in support of our goals and objectives. We are especially proud of joint initiatives undertaken with other parties as a tangible result of collaboration and community building.

Initiatives:

  • Travel Grant Program - facilitate accessibility and diversity at our global and regional FOSS4G events
  • Open GeoScience - make scientific research, data and results transparent and accessible for science and society
  • UN Initiatve - support the UN migration to Open Source Geospatial software solutions
  • OSGeo Security Initiative - sponsorship program providing emergency funds for projects faced with an urgent security vulnerability.
  • Meta CRS Initiative - gathers together interested parties from across several projections, and coordinate system related technologies
  • OpenGIS Harmonization - untangle the use of org.opengis java package between OSGeo GeoTools project and OGC GeoAPI Standard. This is a cross-project initiative as many projects in our Java family are affected by any change.

While the board is responsible for defining the scope and responsibilities of these activities, initiatives require participation for success. OSGeo projects and committees may have additional initiatives of interest beyond the ones listed here as overseen by the board.

Creating an initiative is a great way to setup for a recurring activity (such as GSoC) without the "overhead" of establishing a full OSGeo committee.

Working Groups

While the board is focused on decision making occasionally there is a call for action. The following working groups are focused on accomplishing a specific 2-3 week objective and will report back to the board list when completed. This is in contrast to long term activities handled by committees.

Thanks to our sponsors, and a series of successful events, OSGeo does has an operational budget for 2016.

The Board has divided the above budget up according to our priority as an organization. Please keep in mind that prior boards have taken this approach - and spent nothing due to lack of volunteers willing to lead the charge.

Strategic Plan 2016

From Anne: See the parallel Skate-Boarding of Fedora at http://fedoramagazine.org/lets-talk-about-fedora-project-objectives/ - I really like the idea of having 18 months goals, that are measurable, backed up by community agreement. Let's discuss this at the first Sprint. There are also some thoughts on Ubuntu governance that can inspire us, but I haven't gone through the whole discussion yet, and there are many differences between OSGeo and Ubuntu; so I'm not sure on how much we can learn from it.

This section outlines OSGeo strategic plan for 2016 - this is a result of the vision, mission and goals established at the 2016 face to face meeting.

Strategic objectives for 2016:

  • S01: showcasing excellence in our communities
  • S02: proactively engage with external partners
  • S03: Fostering our mission, vision and goals
  • S04: Empowering our communities and extending our reach

These objectives were taken to the community for concrete / measurable actions volunteers were interested in tackling over the course of 2016.

Update: We did not receive enough feedback to form a strategic plan.
