Hello everyone! We had a good Board meeting yesterday (minutes: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_Meeting_2013-04-11), and here are some highlights:
- approved 2013 Budget (http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2013) - some may be interested that there is now some funding put aside to support Code Sprints - SAC has funding for a much-needed backup server - a slight glitch on GeoMoose (http://www.geomoose.org/) graduation, a formal email vote will happen shortly to make this official instead (stay tuned!) - pycsw (http://pycsw.org/) officially enters the incubation process. Congrats! - FOSS4G 2014 request for hosting has been announced (thank you to PaulR and Conference Committee) http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/FOSS4G-2014-RFP-Process-td5045951.html - FOSS4G-NA registrations are likely to increase as the event approaches. Excellent hard work by the local committee. - (not on agenda) FOSS4G Nottingham's abstract deadline is today. Submit your ideas! http://2013.foss4g.org/programme/call-for-papers/ - discussion on developing some Code Sprint Guidelines (http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Code_Sprint_Guidelines). Everyone is encouraged to review that work-in-progress and comment. - OSGeo Annual Report 2012 (http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Annual_Report_2012). All committees and chapters are asked to help fill this in. - (not on agenda) The vibrant labs network now has a name: ICA-OSGeo Lab Network; a mailing list exists now (join and introduce your ideas!) http://lists.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ica-osgeo-labs ; and a portal is being built. A general description can be found at http://icaci.org/introducing-the-ica-osgeo-lab-network/ Special thanks to Michael for taking these minutes.
