Review and approve past minutes

OGC OSGeo MoU

https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/osgeo/todo/issues/80 The board needs to review the press release. OSGeo and OGC to deliver joint keynote at FOSS4G, so there is some pressure.

Two sections in particular need review / adding: "About OSGeo", and a quote from OSGeo.

Tom asked the board to consider the message OSGeo wants to give in the MoU press release.

MoU release time - both end of June and at FOSS4G discussed, end of June seems to be the consensus

Comments on the draft press release will be accepted until 3 June, at which point the press release will be returned to OGC for final edits and release.

FOSS4G 2022

Discussion of board travel plans for FOSS4G Firenze.

A decision was reached to hold a face to face meeting on Saturday 27 August at the same time as the code sprint

Codrina will ask the Firenze LOC if we can use a room at the code sprint venue.


Bolsena 2022 Funding Request

EU2000 is requested from OSGeo to assist a code sprint in Bolsena: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Bolsena_Code_Sprint_2022#OSGeo_Funding_Request

Motion going to vote on Loomio: https://www.loomio.org/d/f8K3nQxN/bolsena-2022-code-sprint-funding-request


CRO: voting statistics for past elections, retiring process of charter members

Discussion about how to retire inactive charter members, meaning everyone who has not voted for 2-3 elections

We propose to contact all inactive charter members to initialise discussion about what they want to do.

Discussion about putting a page on the OSGeo wiki about voluntary retirement - and automatic/silent retirement (as exceptional procedure of 2022, and clarified for subsequent years)

Anne as CRO will then write on discuss list asking to contact CRO either to update the email, or to retire as per the procedure on the wiki


NASA discussion / open science meeting

Condrina reported on an informal meeting with ESA and NASA about open source communities at ESA Living Planet Symposium 2022, attended by Codrina and Adam.

This sparked a discussion to follow up on meeting with the NASA TOPS program.
