[OSGeo-Discuss] northamerica regional chapter
I was recently re-elected to the OSGeo Board of Directors where we have been having a discussion on future organization and strategy. A number of us have been discussing this subject at the OSGeo board level and later on the northamerica chapter list. Additionally, we have tried to reach out to a number of existing chapters within the the North America region. We've decided to expand the discussion to the broader discuss list for additional comment. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/North_America_Regional The primary objective of this regional chapter would be to organize an annual north american conference and act as a resource for open source geospatial businesses and consultants as they promote OSS business models and solutions. Recent discussion at the board level has suggested that the current board should act as an international umbrella for regional chapters. Perhaps we end up with regional annual conferences in Europe, North America, Asia with the international foss4g conference cycling through the regions. Business practices, cultures, and focus areas will tend to be different and carry differing priorities in various regions. Regional chapters could better address those needs. I'm focused on this because we are seeing a dramatic rise in interest for OSS geospatial software as government budgets are being slashed. These government agencies are looking for organizations to connect with. There will be new opportunities for developers, consultants, and companies in the near term. An annual regional conference is a good place to vector these agencies to. As companies see these trends they are getting more interested in open source approaches - we therefore have an opportunity for increased sponsorship as well. We are not interested in duplicating effort, and this doesn't imply any sort of oversight or management of existing local chapters - quite the opposite, we would want to work with the local chapters for any conferences that might occur in those areas. I'd like to get your support, cooperation, and input as we sort through this and I'd encourage you to join up on the mailing list to help guide the process. http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/northamerica To date the discussion has been favorable in moving this forward. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or comments. Mark ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Hi, I think this may be interesting to folks interested in LiDAR and Open Source technologies. It is a code sprint event inspired by Google Summer of Code and sponsored by Trimble: http://pointclouds.org/news/pcl-trcs-2012.html Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net Charter Member of OSGeo, http://osgeo.org Member of ACCU, http://accu.org ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[OSGeo-Discuss] FW: [OGC Press Release] Take the 'Business Value of OGC Standards' Survey! [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
For those who haven't seen this. If you have the time, please take this survey. The results will be very useful. Bruce Bannerman -- Forwarded Message From: OGC Press Release Reply-To: , Date: Wed, 2 Nov 2011 06:54:14 +1100 To: Subject: [OGC Press Release] Take the 'Business Value of OGC Standards' Survey! PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For information about this announcement, contact: Contact: Steven Ramage Executive Director, Marketing and Communications Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) http://www.opengeospatial.org/contact --- *** Win an Apple iPad 2 Tablet, an Apple iPod touch or Bose AE2 headphones! *** The survey is a joint effort by two academic researchers who are OGC members and by the OGC Business Value Committee. Dr. Mu Xia at Santa Clara University and Dr. Kexin Zhao at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte developed the survey based on requirements from the OGC Business Value Committee to support their studies on standards effectiveness. The OGC Business Value Committee will use a summary of the results to help the OGC better understand the value of the OGC's open standards and improve its programs for geospatial standards development, compliance testing and outreach. We encourage everyone involved with geospatial or location data, software and services to complete the survey. This is an opportunity for technical and commercial colleagues to work together and highlight their business needs and requirements around open standards. OGC membership is not a requirement, and you can participate even if the software you use or provide does not implement OGC standards. The survey takes about 10 to 15 minutes to complete. Individual responses will be seen only by the researchers and OGC staff. The researchers will summarize the data gathered from the survey, removing all references to individual responses, and make the summary available to OGC Business Value Committee members. An executive summary will be provided to survey respondents. The researchers have prepared two versions of the online survey. To take the survey, if you are a technology user, visit http://uncc.surveyshare.com/s/AQAIJDC. If you are a technology provider (a vendor or a system integrator) or a consultant, visit http://uncc.surveyshare.com/s/AQAIZBC. If you are not sure which version to use, contact us. Please also forward this message to others who might be interested in completing the survey. The survey period is 1st November through 18th December 2011. Prizes will be awarded at random to three individuals who complete the survey. The first person whose name is drawn after the survey has closed will receive an iPad 2 (16GB, WiFi), the second will receive an iPod Touch (8GB, 4th Generation) and the third will receive a set of Bose AE2 headphones. Thanks for your support! The members of the OGC Business Value Committee http://www.opengeospatial.org/projects/groups/businessvalue The OGC is an international consortium of more than 430 companies, government agencies, research organizations, and universities participating in a consensus process to develop publicly available geospatial standards. OGC Standards support interoperable solutions that "geo-enable" the Web, wireless and location-based services, and mainstream IT. OGC Standards empower technology developers to make geospatial information and services useful with any application that needs to be geospatially enabled.
