Baseline:

  • We have a very broad vision (Empower everyone with open source geospatial) that allows OSGeo to collaborate with a wide range of organizations

  • MOU should not conflict with Foundation Goals
  • In general the partner has proposed a document structure they are comfortable with

Promoting Participation

Promoting use of open source is not enough, OSGeo wishes to also promote open source participation:

  • d. Contribute to geospatial open source projects
    • i. Direct participation in the development and documentation of OSGeo projects
    • ii. Positive and productive participation in project email list and communication channels
    • iii. Use of the project issue tracker and public support channels
    • iv. Establish open source contribution policy explicit policies for shared intellectual property (as an example several of OSGeo projects require organizations sign a contributor license agreement on behalf of their researchers.)
