  • (Charter members at OSGeo webside)
  • cvvergara present to provide an update: less than 50% have signed into osgeo.org.
  • Jody: want to thank cvvergara for being an absolute champ, kindly helping individuals and assembling the list
  • Discussion about members reading the discuss mailing list. Are we just reaching out via discuss@osgeo.org? many charter members are active in their own areas and do not participate on the discussion list.
  • We could ask for the next election to provide both pages wiki & osgeo.org
  • Vicky has made progress on hiding information from profiles if members want to hide it. Next priority is badges.
  • Maria A: With GDPR we will have to make use of members@osgeo.org or similar. And then we can ask them to migrate their profiles as part of the "do you accept GDPR"

Discuss formal handling of the GDPR

CLA document handling

  • Secretary
  • CLAs may or may not also fall under GPDR policy changes
  • Astrid reporting: I met Jachym at FOSS4Ge and he handed out all the papers to me. I can now handle the CLA, MoU and we worked on the wiki secretary page.
  • Jody provides feedback about how locationtech handled CLAs and GPDR requirements, the result was a form which community leads could use to check if a contributor had agreed ... without having access to the contributors signed document (which includes contact details).
  • Jeff: the issue is that all CLAs are sent to an inbox not monitored (info@) but instead should go direct to secretary@
  • Action: Jody and Astrid to update the license agreement and bring the resulting document to the board for approval when ready.

Action needed on community rules/behaviour

  • This should probably be handled at a F2F meeting or a video call.
  • Maria A has sent a text for approval.
  • Jeff proposes to tackle this issue in the open.
  • Action: Maria A will bring this to the mailing list.
  • Discussions were kept more private at first steps because it is delicate.

Request from Jeff Johnson for OSGeo Support for FOSS4G-NA 2019

  • Jeff Johnson not present at the meeting
  • Jeff: The board would like to see a nice documented request in a public document as FOSS4G-sotm-Oceania made
  • Jody: As OSGeo rep for the core committee I had an opportunity to review a proposal by Jeff Johnson to host the event in foss4gna 2019. It is a budget ask for next year.
  • It was not asked that proposal be made public. Permission for the proposal to be made public is pending.
  • Board discussed this briefly saying that it was a good idea to offer seed money to other events in exchange of some things like "return the profit to OSGeo"
  • Need to setup some guidelines first, in case we have more petitions like this incoming. foss4gna core committee really needs to work on process for future events.
  • Note to discuss for November budget.
