What's hot: 
http://www.grassbook.org/ <<-- new Edition 2008!
My goals 2010-2011 (as a director)
- Board
- [✓] Extend the OSGeo mission statement: add "collaborative"
- consider a MoU with OpenStreetMap Foundation to clarify relationship for people outside of communities
- consider two F2F board of directors meetings per year
- discuss charter member fee (as most organizations worldwide have incl. OSGeo local chapters)
- Conference
- run two conferences per year in different parts of the world rather than targeting at 2000 participants. One could be the current conference, the other more workshop oriented (Geoff Zeiss: make that topic oriented)
- Marketing
- Edu Marketing reachout initiative - better advertise the multi-language Edu portal
- Data
- Geodata committee: fill the raster niche (as OSM does for vector data) - e.g. by supporting http://openaerialmap.org
- Business
- Service providers directory: better support individual freelancers
- consider to establish a FOSS4G "engineer" certificate (which can even generate revenue for OSGeo)
- Community
- better link OSGeo int'l and local chapters (basically poor performance of many OSGeo liason officers. Maybe tag important messages and send to new local-chapters list?)
- promote a spatially more representative charter membership structure
- Microdonations - don't ignore the small money! (really, we need a better framework for that)
- OSGeo Python Library (Software stack)
- OSGeo Cartographic Library (Software stack)
- OSGeo map symbol set (Software stack)
- OSGeo Multilanguage Dictionary (Education) - prototype
- Software Translation Portal (Software stack)
- OSGeo book shop (see Template:Books) <- in Drupal, please, complete at http://www.osgeo.org/books
Done
- [✓] Started Open Source GIS History article
- [✓] Get Postgrey installed for lists.osgeo.org (combat spam on lists.osgeo.org)
- [✓] Italiano - OSGeo local chapter
- [✓] First OSGeo Educational data set
- [✓] GRASS Incubation
