Welcome to the Library!

This is the scaffolding for OSGeo's CC-based Reading Room.

Rough Goals and Groundrules

Your Visibility Committee has set up a "library" of content related to OSGeo activities, and we would like you to contribute. We know that there is a lot of very good content out there -- and so our idea is to be able to collect a number of presentations, talks, etc, under terms of CC license so that other OSGeo members can use them in order to create/derive/remix/mashup their own custom presentations, talks, etc.

The CC license used is "Attribution Share Alike (by-sa)".

The sort of content we are looking for includes, but is not limited to:

  • papers
  • slide presentations
  • web-based presentations (e.g. for tutorials)
  • podcasts
  • ...?

The topics we are looking to cover include anything that touches on OSGeo, e.g. the intersection of Open Source and GIS:

  • overviews of what our Foundation is and does
  • why open source is good, in the GIS world
  • surveys of open source geo packages
  • presentations on specific OSGeo member projects
  • etc

As we intend this to be a "permanent" library, higher quality material is preferred over random wiki pages of notes and scribblings. (That said, if your scribblings are any good, I'd be happy with that.) If in doubt, go ahead and submit it.

  • The actual "library" will live on the OSGeo site on this Wiki page, with summaries and links. The actual content will live on osgeo.org.
  • We are file format neutral: whatever format is submitted will be what we use, at least for now. PowerPoint,PDF, LaTex, troff, HyperCard, whatever. Multiple formats are OK too. Let a thousand standards bloom.
  • Languages other than English are encouraged! (although you'll need to give me a short one-sentence summary in English of what the content is about...)
  • Generally speaking, I think we should exclude from this CFP any material that is more "course-work" oriented, as that falls under the purview of the Education and Curriculum Committee.)

GFOSS Books

There are numerous books available which cover OSGeo foundation projects (add more in Template:Books):
