Hi Maxi,
Yes, I assume that Nik, Marc and others who draft the marketing wiki
will consider feedback from the community, and the first draft will help
us in the community refine our ideas about what we think is important.

Warm regards, Cameron

Nicolas, Marc,
You both have proposed some excellent ideas on what we should do
within the marketing committee, and I think you are also offering
to make it happen? Thank you.

I suggest put your ideas into the existing marketing wiki, as
linked from here: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Marketing_Committee

I suggest not being scared to archive old content. Maybe initially
move under an "Old Material" heading, with strikeout font, or move
to an "archive" wiki page, and eventually remove all together.
Some of this old content I've created, and I'll be delighted to
see it ruthlessly refreshed and improved in the ways you've suggested.

I expect that once you put draft ideas together with a commitment
to move it forward, you will attract positive feedback, and likely
attract more volunteers.

I don't think it matters much whether you work under the banner of
"marketing committee", "web committee" or "conference committee".
The key element is that something gets done. We are volunteers,
and we are effective as a "do-ocracy".

So please feel empowered, and start putting your ideas into the
wiki. Ask for feedback. It is always easier to discuss an idea
after someone has writing a first draft. I'd love to see what you
suggest.

Warm regards, Cameron

If this year's marketing communication and budget is reflecting last

year's, then that's of course a discretionary Board decision.
To combine WebCom and MarkCom can in that case be a practical solution,
for now...

However, to combine them more permanently would downgrade the 'Art of Marketing'

to just 'Promotion'. And would not emply the total toolbox at our
disposal to grow usage of
FOSS for GIS. Marketing can be so much more...

In order to really benefit from all marketing has to offer, we need to have established at a minimum level:

- what are our offerings/products/services and their added end value?
- what is (are) our target segment audience(s), direct and indirect for
the above?
- how do we create interest for it/these (the promotional aspect) per
target group?
- how/via which appropriate channels do we distribute that
offering-product-service (incl OSGeo-Live)
- which community members/orgs/externals/partners/suppliers are to be
involved
- what are available timelines, resources and deliverables?
And these questions-answers are to be addressed interdependently in a
single coherent approach.

If such approach is considered too far fetched...then just have a single Com

for the future, focusing on promotional aspects and media; 'PromCom'.

Not my preferred choice, though ;-)

Hi Maxi, 

These are 3 tasks "in the middle":

I suppose graphic design & structure are part of the WebCom's work.

General (static) content could be part of the WebCom's job, whereas more 
dynamic content (announcements of events, elections etc.) should to my opinion 
be a task of the committee that does the specific announcement. That could be a 
specific Committee, but also the Board, the CRO (in case of elections) etc.

Just my 2 cents

Thanks Gert-Jan for the clarification.

I have some questions that I cannot answer myself not being an expert:

- Who design the website graphic? 

- Who decide the content?

- Who decide the structure of the website?

Did I understand correctly?

It must help OSGeo to be presented as more matured, more inclusive,

I believe such reborn Marketing Committee should work closely along
with
the Board of Directors, the Website Committee and a few motivated
contributors, in order to:

- Define a consitent OSGeo identity from existing material

revised graphic guidelines, new shapes and colors aligned with

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] update sponsorship logos

2016-03-19 Thread Gert-Jan van der Weijden - Stichting OSGeo.nl

Hmm, I was a bit too optimistic, I suppose.

 

In the Dutch logo the Bitstream Vera sans is used, (according to the SVG)

The main text "OSGeo.nl"  in our SVG-version is no longer recognizable as text, 
it's a bunch of paths

 

After some fizzling in Inkspace I notice that the Liberation Sans would be a 
very good replacement, especially when a touch of horizontal spacing is addd

The Open Sans isn't a good replacement , since it has a very different "g".

Liberation Sans came under a GPL license, but now hold an SIL Open Font License

 

To be checked: the Google Arimo font

What did the dutch logo use? Now is a good time since we need new sponsor logos 
and the incubation committee is readjusting what we do for projects.

 

Lucas did get back to me directly and I am prepared to purchase the fonts just 
so we can get back in the game...

However, according to the license agreement "LucasFonts gives you the right to

In order to play the game by the rules, this might be a good point to change 
the logo slightly and move to open fonts. (as Steven did for the Dutch logo)

The other one, the LucasFonts Sans Italic [2] is a piece of art by the pretty

According to my sources 50 EUR, for a packed to be used on 5 different PCs [3].

Thx Cameron for your positive feed back!

I guess Gert Jan and I - from the perspective of our involvement in marketing 
FOSS4G in Bonn - are running into all sorts of 
questions/expectations/thresholds/legacies/assumptions/undecided items and the 
like. Thus our own questions and remarks and at least often in my case; 
exasperation.

I will involve myself with drafting a concept marketing doc for us in the wiki 
in the upcoming time. Making use of what seems reusable where appropriate. And 
everybody is invited to discuss, comment and ask!!!
I will probably ask the community some tough questions beforehand ;-)
@Nicolas/Gert Jan: hopefully you can actively write and contribute!?!?

(However, I will not involve myself with the present promotional 
aspects/agenda-2016. Although I agree that the train needs to move on, I am 
just better suited to work from a solid and agreed foundation/design.)

Marc Vloemans

Dear Cameron, Marketing Committee, OSGeo Directors,

As a member of the so called "dormant" Marketing Committee, i would
be
glad to help revitalising it.

In fact it hasn't been a satisfactory nor confortable situation to
be a
member of such a forgotten commitee since 2012.
So i'd like to volunteer for championing such committee reboot, and
propose to help define strategic changes, recruit new members and
tackle
some of the administrative tasks.
I can also chair the Committee if needed, and if this is
appropriated for
gathering the troops. Cameron, I am not Santa (but 'Klaus' only:)),
but I'd
be very glad to learn from your experience and we may try to enhance
things
together.

However,i think the commitee's mission and role should be revised,
probably indepth modified, and aligned with the new OSGeo plans.
My main point is that the mandate of the OSGeo Marketing Committee
must
go way beyond the funding of OSGeo events and the managment of
consumables
or swag, as it mostly did (or not) until now.
OSGeo Live is one of our best marketing tool to showcase some of the
Foundation's software projects, but not to promote and market the
Foundation itself IMHO.
OSGeo Live must of course be kept inside a new marketing plan, but
the
latter shouldn't be built on DVDs and events only.

According to me, improving OSGeo Marketing globally is one of the
most
important and urgent action to be taken according to the new
strategic plan
defined by the Board.
It must help OSGeo to be presented as more matured, more inclusive,
more
professional, and fully considered by the broader geospatial
community.

I believe such reborn Marketing Committee should work closely along
with
the Board of Directors, the Website Committee and a few motivated
contributors, in order to:

- Define a consitent OSGeo identity from existing material
(including
revised graphic guidelines, new shapes and colors aligned with
identified
needs and recent web trends, new scalable vector graphics, web fonts
...)
- Refine the OSGeo web identity (including main site redesign
through the
developement a new drupal theme, responsive webdesign, efficient and
reusable visuals...)
- Enhance OSGeo web content and presence (including blog, journal,
newsletter and bring more activity on various social networks)
- Market the OSGeo brand online and at all kind of events (including
consumables management, viral marketing, direct marketing...)

Such actions could be prioritized and voted by the Committee's
members,
coordinated by the commitee's chair according to the Committee
members, and
aligned with the allocated budget and volunteered time.

I sincerly hope we can reboot and improve our Marketing Committee
together, in order to grow and market our Foundation better.
Let us talk, decide and act now ! Enough rest for MarkCom' !

Best regards,

Nick

OSGeo needs help distributing money to worthy causes. We need an
OSGeo
Santa Clause.

The current state of play is:
* The OSGeo Board has allocated budget for an OSGeo marketing
committee
to distribute.

* But, our OSGeo Marketing committee has imploded. (I was the last
chair, a few years back). It seems no one is interested in the
administrative tasks of giving away money, doing the administrative
work of
writing cheques, being accountable, deciding which requests get
funded
verses which don't based on a set of guidelines.

My take is that handing out money to worthy marketing causes can't
be
too important, as it is not bugging anyone enough to want to step up
and
volunteer to fix it. But I'd be delighted to proven wrong, and see
some
people volunteer to step up to revitalise the OSGeo marketing
committee. If

Good to see you managed to make good agreements with the GWF

And the reduced attendence fee of 25 euro's in something we in Holland

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] update sponsorship logos

2016-03-19 Thread Gert-Jan van der Weijden - Stichting OSGeo.nl

I managed to create an account, and seem to be able to buy directly at 
lucasfonts [1]

However, according to the license agreement "LucasFonts gives you the right to 
use the enclosed font software on one (1) printer and up to five (5) computers 
at a single geographic location."

 

In order to play the game by the rules, this might be a good point to change 
the logo slightly and move to open fonts. (as Steven did for the Dutch logo)  
[2]

Sadly the shop is a bit broken, I can find it for sale for $98 USD via the more 
mainstream font websites.

One of the two fonts Steven mention in his  2011 search for the fonts  (the

The other one, the LucasFonts Sans Italic [2] is a piece of art by the pretty 
famous Dutch font designer Lucas de Groot (now living in Berlin)

According to my sources 50 EUR, for a packed to be used on 5 different PCs [3].

 

Perhaps we should ask Lucas to give a presentation on font design, use and

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Recruiting OSGeo Santa Clause(s)

2016-03-19 Thread Cameron Shorter

Nicolas, Marc,
You both have proposed some excellent ideas on what we should do within
the marketing committee, and I think you are also offering to make it
happen? Thank you.

I suggest put your ideas into the existing marketing wiki, as linked
from here: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Marketing_Committee

I suggest not being scared to archive old content. Maybe initially move
under an "Old Material" heading, with strikeout font, or move to an
"archive" wiki page, and eventually remove all together. Some of this
old content I've created, and I'll be delighted to see it ruthlessly
refreshed and improved in the ways you've suggested.

I expect that once you put draft ideas together with a commitment to
move it forward, you will attract positive feedback, and likely attract
more volunteers.

I don't think it matters much whether you work under the banner of
"marketing committee", "web committee" or "conference committee". The
key element is that something gets done. We are volunteers, and we are
effective as a "do-ocracy".

So please feel empowered, and start putting your ideas into the wiki.
Ask for feedback. It is always easier to discuss an idea after someone
has writing a first draft. I'd love to see what you suggest.

Warm regards, Cameron

Thanks for the clarity Marc, there is a very different focus between
the two activities.

My two-cents is what we need here - and what Cameron asked for at the
start of the thread - is volunteers to put time on the table. OSGeo is
a volunteer organization, please in pitch in to make it great.

All

If this year's marketing communication and budget is reflecting last

year's, then that's of course a discretionary Board decision.
To combine WebCom and MarkCom can in that case be a practical solution, for
now...

However, to combine them more permanently would downgrade the 'Art of Marketing'

to just 'Promotion'. And would not emply the total toolbox at our disposal
to grow usage of
FOSS for GIS. Marketing can be so much more...

In order to really benefit from all marketing has to offer, we need to have established at a minimum level:

- what are our offerings/products/services and their added end value?
- what is (are) our target segment audience(s), direct and indirect for the
above?
- how do we create interest for it/these (the promotional aspect) per
target group?
- how/via which appropriate channels do we distribute that
offering-product-service (incl OSGeo-Live)
- which community members/orgs/externals/partners/suppliers are to be
involved
- what are available timelines, resources and deliverables?
And these questions-answers are to be addressed interdependently in a
single coherent approach.

If such approach is considered too far fetched...then just have a single Com

for the future, focusing on promotional aspects and media; 'PromCom'.

Not my preferred choice, though ;-)

Hi all,

The website is a tool, just as OSGeo-Live is a tool.
The 2 committees (WebCom and MarkCom) are closely related.

In my opinion MarkCom set the goals and probably defines what
tools are needed to reach these goals.
WebCom makes sure one of these tools is up and running.
That requires different skill, which makes it a valid choice
to keep the 2 committees separated.

Regards,

Gert-Jan

[OSGeo-Discuss] Expanding open source GIS in the public sector - use cases needed

2016-03-19 Thread Suchith Anand



Dear colleagues,

It will be really helpful if councils and local governments who already 
migrated to Open Source GIS  if they can please share their experiences as 
blogposts to the wider community as done by Royal Borough of Windsor & 
Maidenhead Borough Council  
https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/blog/2016/03/using-open-source-gis-in-the-public-sector/

Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, migrated to using open source GIS in 
2015 and has found significant efficiencies in staff time, cost savings and an 
increase in the number of departments using GIS. Thank you to colleagues at 
Windsor & Maidenhead Borough for their efforts to support open principles and 
helping save hardworking taxpayer's money .

The days of Iron curtain strategies by some  Properitary GIS vendors to silence 
open principles are over (i remember even my emails on Geo4All were not allowed 
initially on certain mail lists as the administrators did not want to annoy 
sponsor!). It was one reason that i had to keep emailing (at Geo4All we are 
just a group of scientists and academics and don't have any marketing 
departments or big budgets unlike some vendors!) so  my emails is the only way  
to make sure open principles message reaches everyone.

So please share your use cases on Open Principles with the wider community . 
This also links to the need for National level strategy for Open Principles in 
Geospatial [1].


Best wishes,

Venka,

WorldWind is a ripe plum, there for the indulgence of OSGeo, what more must we 
do?

We are trying to be as attractive as a lithe, lissome, lovely and 
availability-unlimited ripe plum can be.

We too ^want^ to free-up whatever gracious future OSGeo may need.

-Patrick
