OGC/OSGeo meet up
OGC and OSGeo have always been strongly linked, from our common roots in the early open source geospatial community, our 2008 MoU, and the ongoing benefits we continue to realize from each other's activities. As both organisations continue to lead at the top of their respective fields, are there ways that we can work more closely and provide greater support for each other's work?
This BoF is intended as an informal meet up to hear people's thoughts and suggestions.
- When - Friday 20th September, 08:00 - 09:00 in the GeoCamp Marquee.
since this page has always said that the OSGeo/OGC BoF will be in the marquee we will go ahead and meet there. Please ignore the confusion of the suggestion to meet in student halls

OSGeo-Live
Ideas for OSGeo-Live BOF (which might spill into a Code Sprint with sufficient interest):
- Discuss strategy for improving translation process
- Work out a strategy for printing and distributing DVDs / USBs, and paying for them. The hard part is working out how to process 50+ requests for DVDs per year.
- Many of the quickstarts need review/tweaks. A day of people running quickstarts, reporting issues, capturing screen shots, would greatly benefit the project. It would be a great introduction for someone to both OSGeo software, and the Open Source development process, as well as being a very valuable contribution to the community.
- Topics
- (please add or change the topics if the definition is not clear defined or in pigeon english)
- How to create PDF documentation?
- i18n
- Work on a vargant solution http://www.vagrantup.com/
- Online use of OSGeo-Live (upload the iso and then test it in the cloud)
- get involved in the EDU team
- What about using Transiflex? https://www.transifex.com/
- Shall we move to github or Gitorious ..? Does OSGeo provides a git server?
- Does OSGeo provide a server to make builds like Jenkins?
- proxy - Solution to ony set the proxy one time
- Quickstart - use data from all the programms. Do not use your own data: Goal: work on a common dataset
- Did you know about the installation link on the desktop, to refer to other packages?
- solution were you only can install the packages you want
- apt-get install osgeolive osgeolive-doc
- Solution for documnetation that you can localy update
- What about making a book?
- PostCards

The ELOGeo platform has been set up as a means for the community to share learning resources for FOSS GIS under a Creative Commons 3 licence. We at the University of Nottingham have some additional funding to work on functionality and design of the system, and we're interested in some community views on this. Please come along to say what you think! (Not usually a problem in OSGeo...) We'll have some design ideas for you to think about, and questions about the content & access.
Topics:
- how useful is the current collection of materials?
- organisation: what are good ways to tag or organise the collection?
- design: how could this be improved?
Who is coming:
