SoC Report 2008

== Google Summer of Code 2008 Report ==
* Contact name: Wolf Bergenheim
=== Summary ===
OSGeo participated as an umbrella organisation for 11 OSGeo projects. OSGeo received 20 student slots. Most of these students completed their project either partially or completely. The goal for OSGeo is twofold: Gain new developers for the projects and produce new code.
=== About Google Summer of Code ===
Quoting the Google Summer of CodeTM 2009 site
Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a global program that offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source software projects. We have worked with several open source, free software, and technology-related groups to identify and fund several projects over a three month period. Since its inception in 2005, the program has brought together nearly 2500 students and 2500 mentors & co-mentors from nearly 100 countries worldwide, all for the love of code. Through Google Summer of Code, accepted student applicants are paired with a mentor or mentors from the participating projects, thus gaining exposure to real-world software development scenarios and the opportunity for employment in areas related to their academic pursuits. In turn, the participating projects are able to more easily identify and bring in new developers. Best of all, more source code is created and released for the use and benefit of all.
=== Projects involved ===
Ten (10) OSGeo projects were involved with GSoC. Together the mentors mentored 20 students. Most of the students were very successful in their projects. The projects involved were:
# GRASS
# GeoServer
# GeoTools
# uDig
# Mapbender
# GDAL
# OpenLayers
# OpenJUMP
# QGIS
# Laval University
A few students stayed on and became developers in their projects.
=== Areas for Improvement ===
* More mentors for SoC would help to guarantee a better result.
* Many students had problems with weekly reports. Ideally the mentors should help motivate the students in this area, Without a progress report it is impossible to gage how the project is going.
* Participation in the Mentor Summit by two mentors would be good.
* More communication between mentors would improve mentoring and the student experience.
=== Conclusion ===
Google Summer of Code for 2008 was a success for OSGeo. Although OSGeo did not participate in the Mentor Summit a lot of things were still learned on how to improve things. Hopefully 2009 will be as good or even better.

SoC Report 2012

Contact name: Anne Ghisla
== OSGeo Google summer of Code participation in 2012 ==
OSGeo participated to Google Summer of Code in 2012, with 20 of 22 students completing the summer. Several OSGeo projects took part to the program: QGIS, GRASS GIS, gvSIG, PostGIS, Geoserver, Opticks, OSSIM and GDAL. We also provided GSoC-specific umbrella support for two smaller projects from outside of our Foundation: pgRouting and uDig.
=== Key accomplishments ===
All in all our students were great and a lot of good work was completed -- perhaps the least remarkable-sounding but most important success we had is how smoothly everything ran in spite of handling our largest number of students yet. Many of our former students continue to be involved in our contributing projects' development and take on roles as mentors. 
A couple of smaller external projects we have taken under our GSoC umbrella in the past are now participating in our incubation process to become full members of our Foundation. One of our multi-year GSoC projects (gvSIG mini) now headlines the F-droid (FOSS for Android) repository's homepage!
=== Areas for improvement ===
* more cross-project collaboration: GSoC is a great opportunity to get code written, especially for the improvement of software communication. OSGeo projects vary from backend tools to end-user applications, that would all benefit from an improved communication.
* full OSGeo projects' involvement: overall, only a half of OSGeo projects answered to the call for mentors, for many good reasons. How can OSGeo GSoC admins facilitate the participation of all projects? Suggestions are welcome. Administrators aim to accept at least one student from every OSGeo project.
=== Opportunities to help ===
Do you wish to participate to Google Summer of Code as mentor? Check the yearly administrative page to get all your questions answered.
All: feel free to propose project ideas for the students, on your pet project's Ideas page (full list here), and spread the word in universities and geospatial labs around the world.
=== Outlook for 2013 ===
OSGeo has been accepted for Google Summer of Code 2013 - keep an eye on our wiki page!

Software

== Some Fundamental Differences between Hard- and Software ==
Traditional market mechanisms rely on supply and demand of physical objects. Sinking supplies result in rising prices and vice versa. Software does not physically exist in the material world. It can be duplicated at very low costs resulting in virtually endless supply. Therefore traditional market mechanisms do not apply naturally and have to be enforced by all kinds of measures (software locks, hardware locks, legal means, etc.).
The following table lists some properties of software and hardware. It shows that there is a fundamental difference between a physical good and software. Business models can take this into account and treat software not as a limited good but as an endless resource. 
Hardware 	Software
If hardware (or any physical good) is sold (given away) the supplier suffers a loss of that good that can be compensated by payment. 	If a copy of a software "product" is given away, the original is still there. The supplier suffers no physical loss of the "product" because it is only a copy.
If hardware brakes, it becomes useless. 	Software cannot brake in this sense. A data carrier can be scratched (for example a CD) but the original of the software is not affected [1].
Hardware cannot be duplicated. Every copy needs the same amount of raw material and energy as any other. Copies of complex hardware will always be imperfect, not digital duplicates.	Software can be duplicated. Each successful copy of a software product is an identical reproduction of the original (the "raw material" is the source code, it does not run out).
Hardware can wear, rust, or decay, and will eventually break and cease to function. 	Software does not wear down, rust, decay or break. It may fall out of use, but it never loses its functionality.
Free Software licensing and Open Source development methodologies take this into account. Proprietary licenses instead try to build a framework to compensate the inherently missing materiality of software.

Software Projects and Products

The distinction of the terms "Product" and "Project" in a Free and Open Source Software context is not clear cut. This pages helps to disambiguate between the two and links to related pages and topics.
== Software Project ==
The term "Software Project" is often used to describe the scope of an Open Source project but there usually is no clear cut definition of what this actually comprises. The following components usually make up an Open Source Project, they are listed in no particular order and may or may not apply to every project:
* Code Repository
* Bug or Issues Tracking System
* Documentation
* Mailing Lists
* Web Site or Wiki
* Individuals who develop th software
* Individuals who use the software
* please add what you deem relevant
== Software Product ==
The term Software Product is typically associated with shrink-wrap or COTS (Commercial-Off-the-Shelf) software. A Software Product is usually one piece of executable code or a set of software components, libraries or schemata that are ready to use by an end customer. One result of the efforts that went into an Open Source Software Project may be called the Software Product, it is usually some entity that can also be downloaded (binaries, scripts, code for compilation, etc.).
In proprietary business models the Software Product often is the single piece of work that is the focus of generating revenue. This is one of the few revenue generating activities that does not apply to FOSS business models.

Software Translation Portal

It is proposed to install a unified translation portal for OSGeo projects which use "gettext" based message translations. 
== Software Candidates ==
* pootle - http://pootle.wordforge.org/
** supports online message translation (much like Canonical's Rosetta, but this is free software)
** apparently supports integration of offline translated .po files
** integrates smoothly with version control systems (SVN)
* http://www.translate.org.za/
** offering their facilities for FOSS GIS translations
** helping out with FOSS GIS translations through OSGeo channels
** extending their model beyond South African languages
*** but: some people maight have issues with the disclaimer
* TP - translation project:
** http://translationproject.org/html/welcome.html
== Interested OSGeo projects ==
* GRASS: i18N efforts
* Probably GDAL (users requested translated messages)
* OSSIM?
* QGIS? QGIS translation
* gvSIG?
* ... (please update)
== Demo server ==
* On OSGeo infrastructure or GRASS server or ...?
== Translation Glossary ==
To avoid too much diverging jargon, it is requested to develop and follow a translation glossary.
* GRASS Translation Glossary
== Interested people ==
* Markus Neteler (proposer)

Sol Katz Award 2005MUM3Program

back to Sol Katz Award
The Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software (GFOSS) will be given 
annually to individuals who have demonstrated leadership in the GFOSS community. Recipients 
of the award will have contributed significantly through their activities to advance 
open source ideals in the geospatial realm. The hope is that the award will both 
acknowledge the work of community members, and pay tribute to one of its founders, 
for years to come.
==Solomon Stuart Katz aka Sol 1947-1999==
==Background==
 
Sol Katz was born in Sweden and moved to NY at the age of 1. Yiddish was
his first language, but he was amazingly bright, and learned both Hebrew
and English quickly. After high school, he spent three years in the US
Air Force, stationed in Germany, where he picked up yet another language.
Following his brief military career, he decided to go to Brooklyn College
in NY where he got his Bachelors in Geology in 2.5 years. He then married
his wife Hedy in 1969, and went back to Brooklyn College while teaching in
NY Public Schools and got his MA, also in Geology. After several years
working for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in several states, he settled down 
in Lakewood, CO and decided to go back to school at the University of Denver in 
Computer Science and earned a second masters. At this time, he also had two
children - Shanna and Risa. He was well loved in his office, at his
children's school, and at home. Always full of laughter and good humor,
Sol could easily be recognized by his flamboyant Hawaiian shirts and toucan
or propeller hats. Sadly, after fighting Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma for
almost a decade, Sol died April 23, 1999 in bed.
==Open Source==
Sol Katz was an early pioneer of GFOSS and left behind a large body of work in 
the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities. In the early 80's, 
Sol assisted in the development of a public domain GIS package called MOSS 
(Map Overlay and Statistical System). This software was arguably the first open 
source GIS software in the world. Sol would later go on to release and
maintain PC MOSS. He was also one of the first involved in public data translator
utilities. Utilities that he developed for converting DEMs and reading SDTS files
were contributed back to the geospatial community, and are still available today. 
Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much 
guidance to the geospatial community at large. Sol Katz's informative Web site at the 
BLM is still available at http://www.blm.gov/gis/nsdi.html. His legacy still lives on
in the GFOSS world.

back to Sol Katz Award
SUBJECT: Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software - Call for Nominations
The organizing committee for the upcoming Open Source Geospatial '05 conference would like to open nominations for the inaugural Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software. 
The Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software (GFOSS) will be given to individuals who have demonstrated leadership in the GFOSS community. Recipients of the award will have contributed significantly through their activities to advance open source ideals in the geospatial realm.
Sol Katz was an early pioneer of GFOSS and left behind a large body of work in the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities while at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. This early GFOSS archive provided both source code and applications freely available to the community. Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list servers, providing much guidance to the geospatial community at large. 
Sol unfortunately passed away in 1999 from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, but his legacy lives on in the open source world. Those interested in making a donation to the American Cancer Society, as per Sol's family's request, can do so at 
https://www.cancer.org/asp/donate/don_multi_donate.asp?navToScreen=don_1.
Nominations for the Sol Katz Award should be sent to sol.katz.award@gmail.com with a brief description of the reasons for this nomination. Please place "Sol Katz Award" inthe subject of the email. Nominations will be accepted until Saturday April 30th @midnight. A recipient will be decided from the nomination list by a selection committee.
The winner of the Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software will be announced at the Open Source Geospatial conference in June. The hope is that the award will both acknowledge the work of community members, and pay tribute to one of its founders, for years to come.

SotM Online 2020

The State of the Map (SotM) conference is the annual, international conference of OpenStreetMap. Organised by the OpenStreetMap Foundation
State Of The Map 2020 was set to take place in Cape Town, South Africa. Due to the the high infection risk of SARS-COV-2 virus and all its consequences like travel restrictions, cancellation of physical meetings, “social distancing”, and more, a physical SotM is not possible this year. Instead it will be held as an online conference on 4-5 July 2020.
