FOSS4G 2022/BirdsOfAFeather

= Introduction =
Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions are unstructured timeslots where people can self-organise themselves to discuss topics of interest.
== General Information ==
At the FOSS4G 2022 conference in Firenze, a number of spaces have been reserved for people to flock together in Birds of a Feather sessions.
For reference, an overview of the FOSS4G schedule is available at here.
=== How to organize a BOF ===
BoF sessions are informal gatherings of people around a specific topic. BoF's can be held in: BoF rooms or taken off-site for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
The FOSS4G conference provides the spaces, but the setup of the bird-of-feather meetup is done informally using this wiki.

=== Earth Observation Open Science principles vs practice ===
* Description: 
Developing code is an integral part of doing (geo)science. With open access to data, code and publications, science has a better chance to become more reproducible and trustworthy. In the realm of Earth Observation, more and more open source projects are being developed for the benefit of a large community of interested users but there are still issues and misconceptions. 
 
What are the motivations taking you and your organisation towards adopting (or hoping to adopt) an Open Science approach? How far did you go to open up data, algorithms and results? What obstacles did you encounter? How can funding bodies (ESA, NASA, European Commission etc.) help advance EO Science supporting open principles? We would like to discuss these questions and much more in this Birds of a Feather. You do not need to have direct experience with open science to attend this meeting, everybody is welcome!

=== What is the Daylight OpenStreetMap Distribution? ===
- Description: Daylight OSM is a distribution of OSM that is released monthly after being validated to ensure high quality by removing vandalism, correcting geometries, and fixing broken relations. These changes are all made in OSM, so everyone benefits. Daylight is released as both a planet file and on AWS in an analysis-ready format. Interested in OSM data with a guarantee of high quality and no vandalism? Come to this BoF.
