Agenda

Start: 09:00

  • discuss time line for infrastructure move and which services will be established
  • discuss goal implementation for 2006
  • how to enable more people to participate in OSGeo efforts (make it less north America centric which is getting an issue in European GFOSS communities)
  • discuss small projects hosting (like gpsd) - "OSGeo friends projects"
  • improve communication flow (for the masses) - Board blog as info aggregator?
  • define Logo usage (protection vs. promotion/branding)
  • plan conferences framework - where and how to launch OSGeo related conferences around the globe
  • discuss how Executive Director role will work (hopefully with new ED!)
  • what are we doing for the projects?

Membership

  • We should really figure out what the title and requirements of membership are. At FOSS4G2006 many people will want to know how to become a member

Board

  • Continue the 2005/2006 budget + ideas for 2007
  • General strategy discussions.
  • Discuss the stated priorities and how we meet them.
  • Make sure that the VisCom is as focused on promoting OSGeo projects as it is OSGeo itself, (if not more?)
  • Try to reach consensus on new projects to admit to incubation.
  • Discuss ideas for starting cross-collaboration between projects.
