Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Call for ideas on osgeo activities

2016-04-26 Thread Cameron Shorter
Steven, Marc, you're comments are both practical, and much more 
realistic that what I think most on the board realise.
I feel the current OSGeo board would benefit greatly from having access 
to such experience, and they are possibly out of their depth at the 
moment on some of these issues.


Cheers, Cameron

force a choice from a predetermined list with no option to suggest 'other' or 
'none of the above'

If we want to poll the Charter members, I think we need to provide more 
explanation and perhaps consider a two stage process where the first stage is 
more open ended and then at a late stage we ask for responses to specific 
questions arising from the first stage

   during the Face to Face board meeting held in February in Eide
   (Holland) a new 2026 OSGeo strategy has been formulated. We are
   now in a phase of community engagement to define the tactics to
   be implemented in the 2016 so that we can advance toward our goals.

   For this reason, the board kindly ask you to participate in the
   survey by filling (as many time as your ideas are) the form at

   Details on the process and on the strategy are available

   are described in the preamble of the survey.


   In the name of the Board of Directors,
   Thanks and Best regards,

Dirk and Marc,
I am very grateful for the interest and the encouragement.
Whatever combination and chemistry we conjure for OS to divine solutions, 
is a godsend and dynamic bridge to a more beautiful future.
We are trying to make this suite of OS geospatial goodies 
as attractive and powerful as possible.

Patrick,

Great news!
I think it should be an interesting exercise to investigate during a 
code sprint or OSGeo event how different OSGeo projects can grow 
closer to each other, without loosing the diversity between all the 
different initiatives we host.

Having the support of these 'big' organisations supporting open source 
software, and working together with small and medium enterprises and 
developers seems an interesting new way of co-creation we should try 
to explore.

Dirk.

Dear OSGeo, ICA, ISPRS Communities, and the GeoForAll mission,

Some very exciting news will soon be shared with YOU! The good news is that 
GeoForAll progress is being made on multiple fronts, in ways that serve the 
core principles of the brilliant world-beacons provided by OSGeo, ICA, ISPRS 
and OGRS. Here is a brief mention for what you will learn more of soon.

1. The European Space Agency (ESA) has standardized on NASA WebWorldWind. 
Expect significant advances to this open source geobrowser, along with 
facilitated access to the Copernicus programme Sentinel data, for research and 
the needs of a greater European government community. Thank you ESA and Pier 
Giorgio Marchetti!

2. Extraordinary progress is being made on what was originally called the 
Global Earthquake Forecast System and is now referred to as Earthquake Signal 
Precursors (ESP). This will prove invaluable to the world. The monitoring 
systems (hardware) and entire communication infrastructure (software), are all 
designed and built as open source. Thank you TrilliumLearning and Ron Fortunato!

3. The city of Trento will be hosting the 'climax' to the 2016 Europa 
Challenge. This will include an all-expense paid invitation (lodging and meals, 
excluding travel) to the top three teams for a final three days of intense 
collaboration and all-out competition for the very best ^OpenCitySmart^ 
solution! Thank you Trento and Milena Bigatto! 

4. Look for a special Europa Challenge presence at the OGRS symposium in 
Perugia.

5. And more pleasant surprises!  ;-)
