Description
OSGeo legal structure
I think it is important to create a European legal structure representing OSGeo in Europe, to be able to speak as one voice, and as a legal entity representing OSGeo values to the EU Administration, industry and R&D institutions. OSGeo Europe should give support to OSGeo in lobbying European Union Institutions (Commission, Parliament, etc) related to specific EU-Themes (INSPIRE, H2020, Procurement policy, ...) It can act as an entity to manage H2020 projects, etc...
Planning of activities and goals of the [industry] workgroup
I believe in eco-systems. A system where all the entities are acting in an equal important role in a whole system. Wednesday July 15, I have a presentation: " HOW OPEN SOURCE AND INSPIRE CAN BE USED AS A TACTICAL WEAPON FOR ECONOMICAL GROWTH IN EUROPE" where I want to start a discussion about using open source and open source licenses to support an ecosystem and get more impact as a network of SME's. I think openness to other parts of the eco-system is very important. Bring the different stakeholders together.
The membership discussion.
It is a yearly returning topic about the elections of the charter members and the board. Should there be a membership fee, and/or should we have charter members, where it is not clear that we have a charter. During this topic we have the chance to discuss face2face about this theme.
