The Open Source Geospatial Foundation, or OSGeo, is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to support and promote the collaborative development of open source geospatial software, data and education. The foundation provides organizational, legal and financial support to the broader open source geospatial community. It also serves as an independent legal entity to which community members can contribute code, funding and other resources, secure in the knowledge that their contributions will be maintained for public benefit. OSGeo also serves as an outreach and advocacy organization for the open source geospatial community, and provides a common forum and shared infrastructure for improving cross-project collaboration.

=== Notes on Workshop Description and Goals ===
 +
The session will involve short presentation (lightning talks) with a follow-up dialog, potentially in sub groups. Participants should bring a computer, tablet or smartphone to the workshop to be able to participate in Wiis, mailing lists, web sites, Twittter, and so on.''

While OSGeo itself does not have any direct relationship to INSPIRE community, members of OSGeo foundation are often deeply involved in the world of INSPIRE directive. Since beginning of activities towards INSPIRE, we could here rumours and doubts, people were asking questions, whether their favourite software packages will be able to provide capabilities, which would them make usable for implementation of INSPIRE directive requirements.
 
  
−
Since members of OSGeo projects development teams and their testers and users are often from Europe, many steps have been taken during last years, to make Open Source in general, and OSGeo projects more concretely, usable for INSPIRE. Many things are happening nowadays in development teams, which are leading to better support of INSPIRE requirements.

=== Notes on Intended Audience and any Required Skills or Interests ===
 +
* Data providers who have to implement INSPIRE
 +
* Open Source Software developers

This presentation is focused on introduction of those various popular OSGeo projects, which are used for particular task within INSPIRE infrastructure. Short report will be given about what was happening during last year of development regarding INSPIRE directive. We will give short report about future development of features, which are already agreed in communities and which will have direct impact on their usage for INSPIRE.

Dear ...,

conference in Florence [1]. During the first 45min of the workshop Open

minute lightning-talk style presentations with 3 slides stating:

Since OSGeo is not synonym for Open Source, short report about allied projects will be given as well, which are not part of OSGeo or did not approach for various reasons to incubation process (yet).

Each presentation focuses on the relevant INSPIRE capabilities of the

software or the INSPIRE needs for the data provision and the potential

issues and blockers resulting from the current version of the directive.

It wouldn't be a classic workshop format but rather a barcamp inside the conference. The aim is to put around a table people from OSGeo and people from INSPIRE, in order to understand each other's world.

"Pre-conference workshops will take place on the 23/24 June. Each workshop or tutorial may be proposed for a single 90-minute session. A typical conference participant may register for up to four 90-minute workshops or tutorials during the workshop day. All workshops and tutorials will be open to all conference participants at no additional cost, however a daily fee will be charged for those attending workshops only.

Important Dates

The workshop "Ping - Pong Match : OSGeo & INSPIRE" will take place at 11:00 on Monday, June 24 in Room 1. Other important dates are:

  • March 15, 2013: Deadline for submitting paper and workshops proposals (extension given from March 1)

  • June 7 2013: Enroll in speakers list

Workshop: Ping-Pong match OSGeo & INSPIRE

This workshop will be run in an open round style (like a mini-barcamp). The workshop aims at attracting people from all disciplines to start cross domain communication which currently appears to be the major blocker to get INSPIRE implemented.

The summary slide set of the workshop is available:

Abstract

The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) is a non-profit international organization created in early 2006 to support and promote the collaborative development of geospatial open source software (GFOSS). OSGeo provides a common forum and shared infrastructure for improving cross-project collaboration. The foundation's projects are all freely available and usable under an OSI-certified open source license.

In the first 45min of the workshop Open Source software and data providers will give lighnting-talk style presentations of 3 minutes and 3 slides stating:

  • Where do I come from, what is my role
  • What I want or have to do
  • What are the blockers preventing me from getting it done

Each presentation focuses on the relevant INSPIRE capabilities of the software or the INSPIRE needs for the data provision and the potential issues and blockers resulting from the current version of the directive.

The second half of the workshop will be dedicated to a round table dialog between all participants.


The following topics will guide through the dialog:

  1. Maturity of the standards
  2. Maturity of the software
  3. Maturity andf correctness of the data
  4. Implementability of the INSPIRE directive
  5. Degrees of freedom in the implementation
  6. Complexity of INSPIRE technical guidance and OGC standards
  7. INSPIRE implementing rules, international and national standards
  8. Communication channels between OSGeo and INSPIRE
  9. How to contribute to INSPIRE Maintenance Presentation by Vanda Nunes de Lima

Practical follow-ups

  1. Setting up Wiki pages (multilingual) to make INSPIRE documentation more readable
  2. How to test and validate INSPIRE compliance
  3. How to change/simplify INSPIRE technical guidance in practice
  4. How to contribute to INSPIRE maintenance
  5. Automation of INSPIRE adoption through support in the various software packages
  6. How an implicit support for INSPIRE in any software will give a boost to the adoption of the directive even outside EU
  7. Automation of INSPIRE adoption through support in the various software packages

Notes on Workshop Description and Goals

The session will involve short presentation (lightning talks) with a follow-up dialog, potentially in sub groups. Participants should bring a computer, tablet or smartphone to the workshop to be able to participate in Wiis, mailing lists, web sites, Twittter, and so on.

Invitation Mail

Dear ...,
OSGeo is organizing a 90 minute round table dialog at the INSPIRE
conference in Florence [1]. During the first 45min of the workshop Open
Source software providers and data producers / publishers will give  3
minute lightning-talk style presentations with 3 slides stating:
* Where do I come from, what is my role
* What I want or have to do
* What are the blockers preventing me from getting it done

Each presentation focuses on the relevant INSPIRE capabilities of the
software or the INSPIRE needs for the data provision and the potential
issues and blockers resulting from the current version of the directive.

The second half of the workshop will be dedicated to a round table
dialog between all participants.

We are very interested in hearing what you have to contribute and
guarantee that you will take away a lot of new ideas and hear a lot of
valuable experience from others.

Please let me know if you will participate, either actively with a short
presentation or just coming to the event. Slides are optional, just talk
a few minutes. Please also feel free to forward this invitation to your
colleagues.

Thank you for your interest,
