ESA MOI
- https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MoU_ESA
- Discussion about the draft document and the feedback given on chat discussion.
- Adam has expressed the opinion that the word "enforce" in Exhibit A could be changed to "use". The reasons are: 1. the MoI(U) doesn't give either organization power to enforce anything. 2. OSGeo shouldn't be about enforcing things, with external organizations - we can lead, mentor, encourage.
- During the meeting the wording was discussed. The word "enforce" is on ESA’s side and not OSGeo. It explains why ESA signs this MoI: “In this context, the current MoI represents a key strategic element to enforce open source practices and maximise outreach and community building for the open source components developed under the ESA EO Science for Society activities.”
- We agreed that this is ok on OSGeo side. It does not imply whatsoever that OSGeo is an enforcer. Some organizations need/use such language on regulations and agreements.
