[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Board of Directors Names OSGeo President and Executive Positions

[Astrid Emde (OSGeo)]

Hello OSGeo Community,

at today’s board meeting the new elected OSGeo Board 2017 appointed the 
Executive Positions for OSGeo. We had a very productive discussion and 
appointed the positions with full consensus.


The OSGeo Board is pleased to announce the following executive:

Executive
  President: María Arias de Reyna
  Vice-President:Helena Mitasova
  Vice-President: Angelos Tzotsos
  Vice-President: Jeff McKenna
  Treasurer: Michael Smith
  Secretary: Astrid Emde

Board:
  Chair: Jody Garnett

We are thrilled to welcome the new OSGeo President María Arias de Reyna. 
María is well known in the community and a strong vocal presence at many 
conferences around the world, and her leadership will be an asset going 
forward with OSGeo.


We decided to accompany the OSGeo President with three Vice-Presidents 
to share all the commitments an OSGeo President has to satisfy and 
represent OSGeo on events all over the world; we therefore also welcome 
Helena Mitasova, Angelos Tzotsos, and Jeff McKenna as Vice-Presidents of 
OSGeo.


Thank you to Michael Smith for again volunteering for the role of OSGeo 
treasurer for another year and continuing to help OSGeo with financial 
matters.


Astrid Emde volunteered to act as OSGeo Secretary and is replacing 
Jachym Cepicky who so kindly volunteered his time in that role for 
several years; thank you to Jachym for his efforts for so long.


Jody Garnett volunteered to act as Chair of the Board. This is a 
non-executive position helping the board follow up on decisions, 
schedule meetings ands keeping the board on track.


Please read the OSGeo bylaws to find out more about the Executive 
Positions.

We would like to take the opportunity to say thank you to the past 
members of the OSGeo Board who all have contributed their time and 
efforts to help build up this amazing community. A special thank you 
goes to Venkatesh Raghavan through his recent role as OSGeo President, 
for his constant worldwide vision and leadership, for which we are 
forever appreciative.

Agreed & changed (reference to Wiki removed for now).

[Hogan, Patrick (ARC-PX)]

Jody,

I don’t so much see this as ESA or NASA having success as much as I see our 
motto ‘for the benefit of all’ being lived up to.

And of course, we are dearly glad for these open source geospatial solutions to 
be listed on the OSGeo website, please!

Thanks Patrick, glad to see NASA having success with open source. If you, or 
your team, interested in listing these projects on our website please ask.

Dear OSGeo & GeoForAll,



Please indulge me three (3) points to make here,

(1) the ESA-NASA collaboration on WebWorldWind,

(2) the Explorer ^starter app^ and

(3) the WorldWindServerKit (GeoServer) with integrated layer viewer, the 
Explorer (again).



(1) ESA-NASA Collaboration

ESA and NASA are working jointly to advance the ESA-NASA WebWorldWind platform, 
https://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/web/. ESA has built several apps with it, 
including the EO Browser for http://sentinel-hub.com/


[Description: Description: escription: Description: Description: Description:

iOS

[Description: Description: escription: Description: Description: Description:

(2) The Explorer

This info is good for GSoC students, SME’s, OSGeo aficionados, and a world 
hungry to be on ‘one-page’ for spatial data. To that end a ^starter app^ the 
WorldWind Explorer is there for Earthlings to possibly begin working in concert 
with each other on those common solutions they all need, i.e., urban 
infrastructure management, weather, climate research, first-responder stuff, 
etc.

  *   The WorldWind Explorer web app framework:

 *   http://explorer.worldwind.earth
 *   
https://github.com/NASAWorldWindResearch/WorldWindExplorer
 *   This is an active project undergoing rapid development at the moment 
(in my spare time)
 *   A way to play with it live! 
http://jsbin.com/nomafey/edit?js,output

(3) The WorldWindServerKit (WWSK)

  *   The Explorer is now integrated into NASA's GeoServer distribution, the 
WorldWind Server Kit (WWSK, ‘whiskey’)

 *   https://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/serverkit/
 *   https://github.com/NASAWorldWind/WorldWindServerKit

  *   The WWSK is scale-able, it can be deployed to a server or run standalone 
on a laptop.
  *   An agency could host a WWSK server (GeoServer) on the internet or an 
intranet.
  *   An agency could publish their fuel models and maps in their WWSK 
server(s).
  *   WWSK can access data/maps/imagery from other remote Web Map Service (WMS) 
servers, thus a WWSK server could be configured to provide a single point of 
entry for many WMS services.
  *   If you advance ~2:34:00 (at 2 hours and 34 minutes) into this ‘Education’ 
session at ESA Earth Observation conference last September, you’ll see and hear 
Bruce describing ‘whiskey’:
