Background
It is important for the OSGeo Board to meet in person to discuss and make changes to the foundation. The foundation is mature now, and many lingering topics must be dealt with, but are often to detailed to be handled in a one hour meeting or e-mail.
Goals of Meeting
The overall goal of the F2F meeting is to discuss and outline the vision of the foundation. Where are we today, and where do we want to be 5 years from now, and most importantly, setting tasks so that we get there. After this meeting the OSGeo Board, and OSGeo in general, should have a clear focus.
Agenda
- review mission statement
- review foundation goals
- review bylaws
- review projects
- review branding (website etc.)

- review relationships with other organizations
Desired Outcomes
