Hi, welcome to Tyler Mitchell's user page. I work as Executive Director at OSGeo and am always interested in learning about anything you are using open source geospatial software for. If you would like to meet, my upcoming events list will tell you if I'll be near by. Otherwise, please drop me an email and introduce yourself. This page also follows some of my current tasks and thoughts.

My OSGeo Blog and personal site and my book: Web Mapping Illustrated (O'Reilly) Events I'll Be At: Mobile Augmented Reality and Geospatial - Quebec City, Aug. 28 FOSS4G 2008 - Cape Town, Sep. 29 Open Source World Conf - Málaga, Oct. 22 Discussion and Debate Here are a few items that have come up for consideration or debate and that can use some further discussion: Organisation Direction - developing a vision for 2008/2009, including expanded programmes, budgets, performance metrics, etc. Conference Committee developing policy for 3rd Party delivered, OSGeo-branded events (e.g. "Teach-in") making more decisions about, and supporting, the system to be used by FOSS4G events Committee has been pretty quiet, does it need a boost or more volunteers? Marketing develop promotional material for use at events. Pre-printing and maybe some professional polish needed. Next steps being discussed on marketing list. new logo is almost ready and to be slowly rolled out. Some recommendations against this change, though some strong support for it too. FOSS4G 2008 Various event planning to be started soon: OSGeo booth, AGM, Board meeting, ED face-to-face, OSGeo presentations and more Journal could use an associate editor to help run the system/process
