FOSS4G 2016 Call for Papers Website

== FOSS4G 2016 Call for Papers for the Academic Track==
As in previous FOSS4G conferences the FOSS4G 2016 Academic Track provides a strong basis for collaboration among researchers, developers, users, and practitioners carrying out research and development in 
the geospatial field using open source geospatial software, standards.
We encourage academic papers describing:
* the use of open source geospatial software, standards, and data, in and for scientific research, as well as
* academic endeavours to conceptualize, create, assess, and teach open source geospatial software and data.
To submit a paper please register at http://2016.foss4g.opencts.org/ocs. Please note that this is a different process from the regular sessions. If you would like to provide support as a reviewer please contact one of the chairs listed below.
=== Format ===
=== Submissions ===
Submissions can be made at http://2016.foss4g.opencts.org/ocs
Please note: there is a separate call for submissions of full papers for peer-review and academic publication in our Academic Presentation process (see the Academic Track CFP page: TODO FILL OUT THE PROPER LINK).
=== Topics of Interest ===
FOSS4G will, as always, be the premier showcase event for new applications, projects, case studies, business perspectives and training for free and open source geospatial software.
In addition to catering to the existing FOSS4G community, attendance is being encouraged from anyone considering using open source and geospatial software for the first time. The organizing committee is therefore keen to receive content which supports new users.
Proposals are invited on any FOSS4G-related subject. However the following list may help to provide some guidance on areas likely to be of interest to attendees:
* Case Studies: Relate your experiences
* Benchmarks: Comparisons between packages
* Business Cases: building the economic case
* Visualization: effective presentation of information.
* Disaster Response: software, case studies, outcomes
* Development: new development in projects
* Hacks and Mashes: novel solutions to all our problems
* Collaboration: data collection, data sharing, and open standards,
* New data: handling new data models and formats (e.g. 3D, temporal and “big data”)
=== Important Dates ===
Significant dates to note for various submissions are as follows. Please see the full calendar for other important dates.
* 21st January 2016 — Call for presentations and workshops opens.
* 21st March 2016 — Call for presentations and workshops closes.
* 28th March 2016 — Community voting starts.
* 11th April 2016 — Community voting ends.
* 1st May 2016 — Preliminary program decisions made.
* 8th May 2016 - Early Bird registration discount ends.

FOSS4G 2016 Call for Participation in the Program Committee

Hi all,
this is the Call for Participation in the Program Committee. In case
you want to be part of the selection process for the talks of the
FOSS4G 2016, this is your chance now. It's as easy as to reply to
this email and let me know that you want to take part.
I'd like to have a diverse committee as possible. People with all
kinds of backgrounds and interests. Being it remote sensing, an
interest in case studies, the hottest developer trends or any other
topic related to free and open source geospatial software, please join
the Program Committee.
Here's how it works. During the community voting phase (beginning of
April) the members of the Program Committee will vote on the submitted
abstracts of the talks as well. This is probably the biggest part of
the work. It could well be over 300 abstracts that ned to be reviewed.
Once both votings are done, we'll do the selection process. There will
be three weeks for the process with the current deadline of May 1st.
During those three weeks also the speakers will be notified if their
talk got accepted, rejected or if they are on the waiting list.
The selection process will follow the same steps as in 2014 [1]. This
means that you would need to have time in April to read through the
abstracts as well some time where we do the actual selection. I would
expect to have 2-3 video conference meetings that will last for about
3-4 hours.
I'd like to have the team formed by the end of the year, so please get
in touch if you'd like to be part of it.

Regards,
 Volker Mische

FOSS4G 2016 Education

Educational pre-conference workshop (22 August)
:* As Till (the chairman of FOSS2016) declared: "We also have access to two session rooms (for approx. 25 persons each) on 23rd of August (day before core conference starts) in another place, which might be used for Geo4All/Education workshops. We can get this rooms for free, so we would have to care for some coffee and a snack for midday only."
:* In Como we talked about two options: a) having workshop for German school teachers on use of FOSS4G (e.g. QGIS) in education, b) having workshop for teacher trainers to show them how they can motivate and attract teachers to open GIS. 
To be discussed:
:* Was is/are our target group(s)?
: Looking at the different background of ICA-OsGeo Labs we have at least 5 different groups:
: 1) academics working with students over 19 at the universities,
: 2) school teachers, working with children aged 6-12/14 (primary education) - in different countries we have different educational system so also different age groups
: 3) school teachers, working with young people aged 12/14-19 (secondary education) - in different countries we have different educational system so also different age groups
: 4) teacher trainers, so educators responsible for improving pre-service and/or in-service school teachers skills and knowledge,
: 5) GI educators responsible for improving GIS skills and knowledge of very different groups of users (specialists, scientists, public administration staff, etc.)
:* How to make people come to our one-day training(s)?
: We should have no problems to get people from group no 1. and no. 5 - they will be in Bonn :-)
: As far as group no. 2, 3 and 4 are concerned, it will be much harder. How can we support them - get money to cover their travel expenses? Till proposed to ask OsGeo for help.
:* Specific ideas on trainings
Please put here your ideas on a specific training which you would like to lead during Educational workshop at FOSS4G 2016 conference.

Conference (23-25 August)
:* Education will be mentioned as one of the special topics in the General track. 
:* During the general program selection a special focus will be put on education-related presentations. The idea is not to make these presentations too much research-oriented (as in academic track) but really practical.
:* As Volker (chair of program committee) mentioned: "My plan is to give the slots (3 talks in a row) some kind of topic. Those would be then be “education”.

FOSS4G 2016 Location Tech

* LocationTech is a community of R&D projects as you know, so having them speak/do workshops is probably a good idea. This is of course not special compared to every other project/speaker/workshop so there may not be much to talk about there.
* LocationTech's member base likely has more than a few sponsors, so if you'd like us to help solicit sponsors, we could do that.
* We have a tradition spanning back quite a few FOSS4G's where we do a reception open to all comers. It's often off-site. We'd be happy to do that. We'd cover the costs so it would be at no cost to the conference.
* We have a tour, which is a federated series of local/regional events open to all comers and well attended. This might be a good place to promote FOSS4G Bonn at to help boost attendance and proposals for speaking/workshops.
* There's quite a few other things, but these are some ideas to start. Please let me know which you like or don't like so we can adjust accordingly.

FOSS4G 2016 Travel Grants

== Lessons Learned ==
There were four types of sponsors we addresses for the travel grant program
* OSGeo
* Companies
* Foundations
* Community
=== Fundraising 101 ===
(A lot of these ideas came from Kristin Bott - thanks!)
* Don't be uncomfortable asking for money - worst case is people say no.
==== Companies ====
* The Travel Grants Program should work closely with the Sponsorship program! All inquiries to potential sponsors should include an option to sponsor the travel grants program. We didn't do that and it made it really hard to raise funds from other sources.
* Learn as much as you can about potential sponsors
* Write a letter template that seemed compelling, customize the letter to each company based on what you knew about them and
their previous giving level
* Make a specific ask ("we invite you to sponsor at the Bronze level..."), including explicit mention of what they would get for that investment (booth space, space in program, etc) -- having already mentioned the # of attendees (proof to the sponsor that it would be a good use of money)
* send that letter (email) to the individual contact (not general email) at the company.
* as part of the sponsor letter, bring up the Travel Grant program as another option ("if full sponsorship is not a fit for your company right now, please consider...")
==== Foundations and government programs ====
* This is hard to pull off - do a lot of research but still be early. You should send out applications at least nine months before the conference starts. We were too late in one case where sponsoring would likely have succeeded.
* Focus on foundations that specialize in science, technology and international collaboration.
* Most governments programs and some foundations require some kind of formal application - this can be time consuming and involve some level of bureaucracy.
* Check the discussion page for a list of foundations we addresses.
==== Private sponsors ====
* Create a sponsoring option at check-out as part of the normal registration process
* Also add a stand-alone link on the website for just donation.
==== OSGeo ====
* Ask the OSGeo board about funding as soon as possible - this is the easiest way to get money into the program.
FOSS4G 2017/Logo Contest

__TOC__
= Logo Design =
The Boston Local Organizing Committee (BLOC) is pleased to announce a call for logo designs. We need your help to build a strong recognizable logo for FOSS4G Boston 2017.
Full details are available here: FOSS4G 2017/Logo Contest
We put together this Design Brief (borrowing from the SOTM) that outlines what we are looking for in a logo. Entrants could be an individual or team of people, even a design company.
By submitting a logo you will be assigning your copyright to OSGeo so that it can be used across different mediums. The BLOC may also commission improvements of the winning work. Entries need to appear on the wiki page FOSS4G 2017/Logo Entries by 23:59 UTC (before midnight) on Tuesday, March 1st, 2016. The BLOC will decide by vote which logo to use.
=== How to enter ===
* Create your logo in PNG file format and a scalable file format (either SVG or PDF).
** If you're not used to scalable formats please still enter the competition as we can try to help.
* Make your logo available online, one option is to upload it to the OSM Wiki (upload link).
* Add a link, or include your logo on the wiki page FOSS4G 2017/Logo Entries.
=== Distribution ===
The FOSS4G website (www.foss4g.org), flyers, emails, sponsor communications, t-shirts and potentially other conference ‘schwag’ like fabric or plastic bags, keychains, pens etc. Printed material at the conference such as timetable of talks, notebooks, banners and conference guide. Potentially small web-based button images for use on third party websites to promote the conference or fact that someone is speaking there, for placement on blogs and other web pages.
=== Design ===
==== The design MUST ====
* Include elements of the OSGeo / FOSS4G "ribbon" as can be seen in all previous conference logos 
* Include themes for Boston
* Be easily printable on t-shirts with as few colours as possible (no more than 3). This keeps the cost of printing down.
* Be delivered in PNG file format and a scalable format (SVG or PDF).
* Not be similar to other mapping conference logos (Where 2.0, ESRI, SOTM...)
* Not communicate the brand of potential sponsors or related companies
* Not include copyrighted material that is not yours
==== The design MAY ====
* Come in different sizes (example: a main logo and a variant for use on small print media such as badges).
==== The design should communicate ====
* Fun
* Cool
* Openness
* A sense of community
* The potential of free and open source geospatial tools
* A sense of learning and education
* Intelligence
* Trustworthiness
* Global movement
==== The design should not communicate ====
* Corporate / big business (as the sole element)
* Complexity
* Expensive
* For geeks only
* Closed community
