Informal OSGeo OGC Meeting 2013-09-18

On 17 September at the FOSS4G 2013 in Nottingham OSGeo members and the Board of the OGC will have a joint dinner. The conference falls at an ideal time to reflect on OGC's Ideas4OGC process[1]. Specifically for OSGeo it will be interesting to learn about the current policy & procedure and governance update activities at the OGC because OSGeo will also have to do some housekeeping.

Topics of mutual interest

• How to mutually benefit from the ICA OSGeo labs education effort
• Exchange ideas about how OSGeo can help enhance the standards process.
  • Specifically: Would the OGC profit from OSGeo style code sprints?
  • How could we collaborate on this?
• How can we deal with the situation that OGC standards seem to be losing ground / relevance in the developer communities? E.g. https://twitter.com/tmcw/status/377470849248284672
