TEMPLATE FOR EDITING

MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE OPEN SOURCE GEOSPATIAL FOUNDATION A Delaware non-stock corporation.

On August 18th, 2006, at 8:00 am Pacific time, pursuant to notice duly given, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (the "Foundation" or "OSGeo") held a meeting by teleconference. The meeting lasted ninety minutes.

Present at the meeting were the following members of the Board: Frank Warmerdam, Mark Lucas, Jo Walsh, Chris Holmes, Arnulf Christl, Venkatesh Raghavan, Gary Lang and Markus Neteler. Rich Steele and Laura Rivera were also present. All participants on the call indicated that they could hear one another. Additionally, Internet Relay Chat was used for backup purposes (#osgeo on irc.freenode.net). Mr. Lucas was appointed chairperson of the meeting. Finding a quorum present, Mr. Lucas called the meeting to order. Frank Warmerdam was appointed secretary of the meeting.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES

The Board first approved by general consent the minutes of the meeting held on 18 August 2006.

FACE TO FACE MEETING IN LAUSANNE

Meeting on Monday, September 11th. Board members are encouraged to add agenda items on the wiki page.

NEW INFRASTRUCTURE

It was determined that if we transition off CollabNet it needs to be completed by January 1, 2007 when the existing contract ends.

Jo Walsh and Tyler Mitchell were designated to continue working on the new demonstration portal, and to work on a proposal for infrastructure transition, with a more detailed review at the face to face meetings in September.

OTHER BUSINESS

Frank Warmerdam previously briefed the EDRC BAA in the 15th board meeting. Mark Lucas reviewed the BAA, it is typical of many government BAA's and is primarily targeted at companies with cost plus accreditation addressing specific topics identified in the document. Of potential interest is an offer to co-host conferences on common topics with not for profit organizations. The not for profit organization submits a proposal and budget estimates to ERDC for review and approval. Something that we might consider in the future.

Next meeting planned in two weeks.

The meeting was closed.
