Agreed! Arne we did capture the individual page examples here (
https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/tree/master/marketing/collateral/presentation/template).
Perhaps you can use those as a background for the different template pages?

Arne,

presentation template with the new branding for Reveal would be very welocme - 
we use it a lot but we did not have time to incorporate the branding elements

Thank you, Helena

P.S. This is my presentation  about geoforall from FOSS4G 2017 - I can then

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Call for Google Code-in mentors - OSGeo-Live

2017-09-28 Thread Cameron Shorter
Vicky suggested the Google Code-In at our last OSGeo-Live weekly IRC 
meeting.


OSGeo-Live could be a good starting point to initiate tasks for 
activities. In particular, I think we could invite students to create a 
video for each of the OSGeo-Live quickstarts (1 task = 1 application's 
quickstart video).


The task could be:

* Download OSGeo-Live.

* Review and run one of the OSGeo-Live quickstarts.

* Discuss progress with community

* Identify any errors you might locate in the quickstart text. Raise an 
issue if required. (Bonus points: fix the issue and create a pull request)


* Record running of the quickstart with voice over, using the existing 
script as guidance.


* Update our index documentation page to include a link to the video and 
add the student's name to the project contributor's page. Create a git 
pull request.


--

What the student will learn:

* How to engage an open source community and mentor via an email list.

* How to download and run an image in a virtual machine

* How to work with a linux gui. (Lubuntu)

* How one OSGeo application works

* How to do QA and raise an issue in an issue tracker

* How to make a simple change to HTML and create a git pull request

* The student will additionally have their video linked from our main 
web page (assuming it is good), and will have their name added to the 
OSGeo-Live's list of contributors.


--

Mentoring requirements would be relatively light for each student, 
however we have ~ 50 projects, so handling that many students would be 
best done if we were to get 10+ mentors to help with basic git and bug 
reporting.


We would need a mentoring champion to lead this. Anyone interested?

--

A variant on this task we floated was to create Jupiter Notebooks for 
each project on OSGeo-Live, but that would require a lot more setup from 
the OSGeo-Live end, more work from the students (in particular in 
writing scripts) and more mentoring in teaching students how to program 
Notebooks. My gut feeling is that Notebooks is a bit much.


Warm regards, Cameron

Dear OSGeo Community,

a few days ago we had a virtual kickoff meeting about Google Code-in. [1]

* What is Google Code-in [2]:

"Pre-university students ages 13 to 17 are invited to take part in Google Code-in: 
Our global, online, contest introducing teenagers to the world of open source. With a 
wide variety of bite-sized tasks, it’s easy for beginners to jump in and get started no 
matter what skills they have. Mentors from our participating organizations lend a helping 
hand as participants learn what it’s like to work on an open source project."
  
* How it works [3]:
  
1  Students search for a task that interests them and claim it. They have at least three days to complete it.

2  The student works on the task, getting guidance from mentors, if needed.
3  Once the student is ready, they submit their work for review through the 
contest website.
4  Mentors from the organization evaluate the work, provide feedback, and if 
it's complete, accept it! Otherwise, specific feedback is provided, and the 
student goes back to step #2!
5  Go to step #1 and repeat!

* Example tasks may be:

** Coding
- Add a new (simple) option to a GRASS python module
- ...

** Documentation/Training
- Make a video introducing the various projects under OSGeo
- ...

** Outreach/Research
- Write a fancy blog post about the new cool QGIS 3D capabilities
- ...

** Quality Assurance
- Add a Test Case for xyz to the GDAL testsuite
- ...

** User Interface

- Add icons for specific GIS task
- ...

* Time effort of the tasks should not be longer as 3 to 5 hours!!!


Members of other orgs, which participated in the last years, have joint our 
kickoff meeting.

Lessons learned from the last years' participations:

* a strategic plan needed to generate a pool of tasks doable in 3-5 hours 
(beginner to advanced tasks); from ~50 up to ~100 tasks!!
* a large enough mentor pool that the contest can going on over the period to 
tackle evaluations of about ~ 100 tasks!!

If you are a willing mentor, just write to gsoc-admin(at)osgeo.org and a form 
to fill in will be sent to you.

At the moment, the mentor pool seems not be large enough to apply for Google 
Code-in.

What we have heard from other orgs already participated: Google Code-in is fun, 
nice results for e.g. outreach, though the workload has to be planned

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Board Nominations - thinking about the next board

2017-09-28 Thread Cameron Shorter
As we are coming into elections, I expect that many of you will be 
thinking about:


1. Who should I be inviting to join the OSGeo board?

2. What qualities do we want to see in board members?

3. How much commitment should we expect from board members (noting that 
they are volunteers)?


4. Am I worthy of being a board member, and if so, do I have the 
bandwidth to commit to the task.


If you have been considering being on the board, but feel you are 
already over-committed to other OSGeo coordination activities, then you 
will likely be an excellent candidate. :) Please do consider stepping up 
- OSGeo needs people like you, and people like you can make a big 
difference at setting the tone for an effective organisation.


Successful Open Source leaders tend to be good at both leading by 
example (doing the hard work), as well as empowering others to do the 
hard work. Ie, "inspiring and enabling" rather than "delegating".


*Time commitment:* In Arnulf Christl's Board Retrospect [1] he estimated 
board members should expect to spend ~ 2 hours / week on board 
activities. I think this is reasonably accurate. (Arnulf's retrospective 
is well worth a read). The key message is that we need to recognise our 
board members are volunteers with a primary focus on stewardship and 
encouragement rather than doing the work. Work should be done in 
projects, chapters, and working committees which have been empowered by 
the board (and which often include board members).


*Vision:* I also recommend board members and the board as a whole should 
have clear vision about what should be achieved. (Arnulf mentioned this 
too). The OSGeo board of 2013 followed through on this by setting board 
priorities [2].


*Makeup:* It is best to see the diversity of OSGeo represented in the 
board - covering projects, outreach, education, user communities, 
science, etc.


Any questions or comments? I'd be happy to discuss either publicly or 
privately with anyone considering joining the board.


Warm regards, Cameron

https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Face_to_Face_Meeting_Paris_2017#2._Director_Update


This makes for excellent background reading ahead of the nomination 
process.
While a couple hours a week is a starting point for a director, how 
much time it actually takes depends on your leadership style and what 
needs to be accomplished in a given year. One of the big things in a 
volunteer organization (much like taking part in a project steering 
committee) is filling in gaps either with inspiring our community, 
participating yourself, or delegation. All of these leadership 
techniques, even delegation, take time.


The questions asked of candidates 
:


  * About me
  * My vision
  * What you have done within the community in the past
  * What your interests are in terms of the board
  * Any things that you would like to change or introduce
  * What role you would wish to fulfil on the board (if any)

The board has a number of responsibilities in our organization; while 
the last question touches on this aspect of being a director the "if 
any" does indicate the full weight of responsibility.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] completed branding and collateral materials are now in github

2017-09-28 Thread Jody Garnett
There are a couple reasons to use GitHub - none of them great.

When uDig was using gitorious that many visitors would follow GitHub
instructions and get confused. GitHub one market share by having better
docs, and now it is assumed.

When GeoServer was still on OSGeo SVN we maintained an official GitHub
mirror to collect contributions from developers. I got the impression that
they would only search GitHub for source code, and if we did not have a
presence people would fork off from developers personal repositories.

None of those factors apply for marketing material, except for perhaps the
pull request workflow (and many contributors having a GitHub presence
already).

I have not been terribly impressed with GitHub culture with respect to
diversity, and would love to see increased competition in this area. They
at least provide a diversity report, but that is by no means impressive.

project teams.
- social media

-
with collateral for facebook, twitter and linkined, and an example of
trying the templates for osgeo japan

- logo

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] presenting open source software or open source projects

2017-09-28 Thread Jody Garnett
To run this topic into the ground, we will end up with a small distinction
between "open source projects" (software + community) and "project teams"
(the developers producing the software).

In the examples that started this conversation:

- The gvSig association has several open source projects, each of which has
a project team.  So "gvSIG Desktop" is an OSGeo Project, but i3Geo is not
(although it is welcome to join incubation at any time).

- For QGIS there are several open source projects (QGIS Desktop, QGIS
Server, QField?). It is unclear to me if they are produced by differ
project teams or if they share a codebase?
