I have some slides

you can grab history / diagrams from; it is nice to see how GRASS
bootstrapped many of these organizations that are working together today.

Thank you for promoting OSGeo :)

Michele,

here is one about osgeo and geoforall from 4 years ago so it needs some updates

https://ncsu-geoforall-lab.github.io/geoforall/osgeo_general.html#/

you can clone it from the github repository if you wish
https://github.com/ncsu-geoforall-lab/geoforall

but the OSGEO AGM slides are also a good place to start with - the first couple 
slides have the general material - you should have them too.

There is also this paper
Coetzee S., Ivanova I., Mitasova H., Brovelli M. A. 2020. Open Geospatial 
Software and Data: A Review of theCurrent State and A Perspective into the 
Future.<https://doi.org/10.3390/ijgi9020090> In: ISPRS Int. J. Geo-Inf, 9(2).


and this book chapter that may be helpful

Development.<https://doi.org/10.4/gistbok/2021.2.4> In: The Geographic 
Information Science & Technology Body of Knowledge (2nd Quarter 2021 Edition),

I hope this helps, Helena

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Slides

[Brent Wood via Discuss]

 HI Michele,
An approach I've used in the past for similar presentations is to introduce the 
phrase "Democratisation of GIS"
It helps that I'm old enough to remember the evolution of wordprocessing as a 
technology, and use it as an analogy.
Go back to the invention of typewriters - people who wanted a business letter 
professionally laid out either dictated the content to a shorthand typist, or 
scribbled out some double spaced lines of text & gave them that. So we had a 
team of professional typists providing a skilled technical service to an 
organisation. Much like cartographers used to.
Along came wardrobe sized word processors & your typists became word processing 
operators, providing a similar service but with more advanced technology to 
help them. Like the early GIS practitioners creating computer generated maps 
instead of hand crafted ones. 

Then personal computers came along with word processing software - anyone could 
DIY word process, even if they were not as skilled or knowledgeable as the 
expert. No expensive hardware, expensive software, etc.  
There are 4 requirements for functional GIS: 
  suitable software, 
  a powerful enough computer to run it,  access to relevant data to use with 
it,  and standards to enable interoperability.  

Open Source GIS has introduced similar access to the world of GIS, no longer do 
you need to spend several times the cost of your computer for the software (and 
keep on paying)Open Data provides access to data from local to national to 
global scales, at the minimal cost of downloading it over the internet,
Your average used laptop of 5 years ago has more than enough power (or often 
can have simply by adding a memory module), even every smart phone has a GPS in 
it.
OGC has created, and is still creating, global standards for data formats, data 
access, data sharing which enables the interoperability. 

It is very unusual for anyone to hire wordprocessor operators any more - most 
people who can use a computer do their own. Similarly, anyone can use Open 
Source GIS software, GIS is no longer the domain of a few experts using 
expensive hardware & software. Hence - the Democratisation of GIS.
I run short workshops for small community groups & NGO's on DIY GIS using Open 
Source. They can't afford commercial licences for data or software but can make 
good use of free stuff.

 Cheers,
Brent

Hi everyone!
I got asked to give a talk at the Monterey Bay Marine GIS Users Group meeting 
about the open source geospatial organizations - OSGeo, FOSS4G, OGC, etc. - and 
how they fit together. Has anyone got some slides or previous talks I could use 
as a reference to get started?  I feel like the board might have some useful 
stuff, but I'm not finding it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo slides from GeoMundus conf

[Jorge Sanz]

Hi all,

Last weekend, Pedro-Juan Ferrer[1] delivered a talk at the
GeoMundus[2] conference in Castellón de la Plana, Spain about the
OSGeo Foundation. The slides are **heavily** based on one of the lasts
slides by Jeff McKenna[3].

The slides are available at [4] and the source code is at the OSGeo
SVN[5] also for the records and reuse.

Best regards
