Board System

#REDIRECT Archived
A special drupal instance is available for board members and staff for managing confidential information. The CiviCRM applications that are install allowed several features:
* Search for charters members, directors, officers contact information
* Review past sponsorship contributions/donations
* Create paid membership signup pages, or pages for taking donations and provide thank you gifts
* and more...
To use it, here are a few scenarios:
# Email Tyler for a registration url
# Create a user account. After being "approved" and logging in...
# Select My Contact Dashboard - this takes you to the main civicrm start screen.
# Type a name into the top left search window to lookup a person or organisation. You can then choose to see more details about them.
# Select the search menu near top left, choose Find contacts and a new form appears. 
## You can press search button to list all contacts in the database
## Or you can filter it based on one of the optional dropdowns, e.g. group = board, group=charter members
## After getting a list of contacts you can select them with checkboxes, choose to do a mailout, export to CSV, etc.
# Select the contributions menu top middle, choose find contributions. Similar to above step, you can filter or just press search button to find all contributions in a tabular layout.
## If you had chosen contributions --> dashboard you get a quick summary view of all donations entered so far
There are many many more features but these are likely the ones you'll mostly be interested in.

Board Voting Procedure

== Purpose ==
This document explains the voting procedure for motions put forward to the OSGeo Board of Directors.
== Voting Process ==
* Board voting occurs during monthly meetings
* each Board member may vote “+1” to indicate support for the motion.
* each Board member may vote “-1” to veto a motion, but must provide clear reasoning and alternate approaches to resolving the problem within seven days.
* A vote of "-0" indicates mild disagreement, but has no effect. A "0" indicates no opinion. A "+0" indicate mild support, but has no effect.
* A motion will be passed once all of the Board members place a vote, and no vetoes are received (-1).
* If a motion is vetoed, and it cannot be revised to satisfy all parties, then it can be resubmitted for an override vote, in which a majority of all Board members indicating +1 is required to pass it.
== Record of Motions ==
For motions with quorum taking in a meeting (bylaw 4.5) we make use of loomio for tracking / record:
* Allow one week for a chance to review and respond
* Maybe shortened if a time sensitive motion (require email to board members, example emergency event funding)
* After one week consider motion passed based on quorum in meeting. Non responses will be considered as abstain (+0).
For motions taken purely by electronic voting (bylaw 4.6):
* We still need 100% response rate, provide a week to respond so that board members have both a weekend and weekday to respond.
Board infrastructure

==Introduction==
Board agreed https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/board/2015-September/013182.html that we would like to move certain parts of our infrastructure to 3rd party service - possibly Google. The discussion with SAC showed https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1547 we need more clarifications to this topic
==Scope==
* Mailboxes
** Mailboxes for individuals (e.g. 'Jachym Cepicky') and roles ('secretary')
** Possibility to keep track on official mailboxes (e.g. treasurer), which are currently setuped as aliases to external mails
** More flexible setting up things - taking some effort from SAC, of course, if SAC agrees - moving to e.g. secretary
* Private repository
** Get repository for files, which should not be exposed to public (yet) (e.g. Contributor agreements) https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1404
** Enable also non-technical people to interact with that repository (shall not be SVN or GIT) - virtual drive (e.g. FTP), would do
** We now use Dropbox shared folder, it works nice, but it consumes "free" space from private accounts therefore it's not usable for everything - it's semi-official
* Collaborative work
** Yes, we love the way, you can work with Google docs. Yet you can convince us, it's not worth that effort.
==Status==
Board proposed to go on with Google apps for business, but splitting the mail domains seems to be nearly impossible. Therefore this wiki is setuped to help with defining our scope more precisely. 
== Alternative ==
* Shared folders: Implement a self-hosted owncloud instance. It offers a lot of features (scroll down there).

Board of Directors/Handbook

== Board Member Handbook ==
=== Meetings ===
Board meetings take place approximately monthly (first Thursday of the month).
Meetings are announced on the board mailing list and are also listed on the Board wiki page. Minutes from previous meetings are also posted there. 
In order to be "official" according to the law in the state where OSGeo is incorporated, all board meetings must have a quorum (five directors) and be held by voice (conference call). So while IRC (#osgeo) may be used to facilitate meetings, and to hold unofficial meetings, it is necessary for official meeting motions to take place in a conference call or in person. Motions can be passed with a simple majority of directors attending the meeting.
It is also possible to pass motions by email; however, in order for this to be official all board members need to respond affirmatively to the motion.
Meetings are typically called by the chair (usually the President) who will post an agenda in advance and send email notice of the upcoming meeting to the board mailing list. 
Each meeting must have a secretary, selected at the beginning of the meeting. Typically this is the foundation Secretary (currently Tyler as ED), but when unavailable any other meeting participant may be designated secretary. They are responsible to taking the minutes of the meeting, including a roll call of those attending and any motions passed. Typically the minutes should also contain other action items, decisions or major discussion points. 
A director who cannot attend a meeting should provide notice to the board list (absent with regrets) as it makes it easier to determine who should be available to make quorum.
=== Mailing lists ===
The http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/board mailing list is used for most public board discussions. There is also a private board mailing list used only for matters that are considered needful to be kept private.
=== Conflict of Interest Policy ===
Please be aware of and adhere to the conflict of interest policy.

Board of Directors File Sharing Requirements

== Purpose ==
The OSGeo Board of Directors need a way to privately share documents, between members of the Board. Often these are sensitive documents such as contracts, containing personal information that should not be shared publicly.
== Current Status ==
The OSGeo Board has been using DropBox for the past several years. Board members must currently use their own DropBox account in order to access the files, which is a challenge for most as the default DropBox account contains only 2GB of space (shared over other projects that are non-Board related).
== Required Features ==
* way to store and access files privately
* dedicated accounts for each Board member, with space of around 10GB each
* automatic sync of files 
* cross-platform support (mac, windows, linux)
* mobile and desktop clients
== Nice-to-have Features, but not necessary ==
* file versioning
== Possible Options ==
=== DropBox ===
* free individual account only has 2GB of space
* or expand to 1TB for ~10USD/month/user (pricing)
=== NextCloud ===
* open source, so a NextCloud Server can be setup on OSGeo VM
* enterprise option: 50 users for 194USD/month (pricing)
* instructions: https://nextcloud.com/install/#instructions-server
=== OwnCloud ===
* open source, but some features are kept enterprise-only
* enterprise option: 50 users for 300USD/month (pricing)
=== Google Drive ===
* 15GB free
* 1 TB: ~10USD/month/user (pricing) - Quota is based on who uploads
=== SFTP ===
* simple
* no file versioning
=== Tresorit ===
https://tresorit.com/pricing
* Small Business includes team based management.
* Zero Knowledge Encryption
* ~$12-25/month/user (200 GB each?)
Category: Board
=== Box ===
* Con No Linux sync client, Sync is per folder/account (every computer with your account gets the folder).
* Quota only applies to main account if all is uploaded to a folder shared by it.

Borealis Report 2008

On the code side, 2008 was quite an active one for us. First, we plunged head first in the Openlayers world in a bid to replace our current web mapping platform. Our "UI" forays led us into using MapFish and now GeoExt (well, we're following that project for now) and we plan to release a JavaScript web mapping engine for our information system soon. Borealis has been using MapServer and PostGIS for a few years now, but 2008 was also an opportunity for us to experiment with other pieces of very interesting software like GeoServer, FeatureServer and MapFish Server.
On the community side, Borealis became an OSGeo Associate Sponsor in 2008 and we were thrilled enough by that move that we went on to help create the Québec local chapter of OSGeo, which was officially launched late in 2008. We organized the second OSGeo-qc informal "beer and talk" meeting in Magog, our corporate home, and it was a big success. Another informal OSGeo-qc meeting was organized in Trois-Rivières in March 2009 and it looks like OSGeo-qc will be thriving in the coming months, something we're quite happy about. 
For the third consecutive year, Borealis attended the FOSS4G conference in 2008. For the first time though we had a commercial booth. As a provider of geospatial data management and integration services to the mining, oil & gas and energy industries, we found the booth handy as a meeting place with the many interested parties we met in Cape Town. Our roots in the FOSS geospatial community are now deep enough that we feel we are ready for a more tangible commitment to the community. We are considering giving a presentation at FOSS4G 2009 and maybe even some code we're cooking will find its way back into some of the OSGeo projects. We're looking forward to continuing our commitment to OSGeo and help provide geospatial FOSS solutions that meet the highest expectations.
Borealis Report 2009

This year's highlight for us has been the birth of GeoPrisma as an open source (modified BSD) project. After teaming up with the great folks at MapGears and Nippour Geomatik and leading the project as an open project amongst ourselves, we officially released GeoPrisma to the community just before the FOSS4G conference. Geoprisma builds upon the OpenLayers/MapFish/GeoExt stack and for that reason we are very much looking forward to enhance GeoPrisma with the novelties to appear down in the stack over the course of the coming year. 
Two items are worth mentioning from our point of view: first, we are thrilled by the MapFish project starting the OSGeo incubation process. Second, we see a very high potential in GeoExt ux's (user extensions), many of which are lying around in various sandboxes ready to jump in trunk where they'll be ready for inclusion in GeoPrisma. 2010 should be that of full-featured web mapping for us. We believe the view of a true web GIS is very near with the great stack of OSGeo projects we build and depend on!

Boston User Group

First meeting of Group: Oct 17th, 2007, 7pm
* 8 attendees
* hosted by MIT museum
* Next meeting Nov 14th, 7pm
== Old as of Oct 17th, 2007 ==
Currently canvassing community to determine level of interest in regular meetings of a Boston area OSGeo users group.
Sent email to: 
* MassGIS Web Services Mailing List
* Geomancers mailing list
Positive responses:
* Allan Doyle
* Guido Stein
* Tracy Rolling
* Lucia Lovison
Email sent:
 I'm Christopher Schmidt, a charter member of the Open Source Geospatial 
 Foundation. (This title basically just means I'm a participant that 
 people recognize the name of ;) I'm also a core developer for 
 OpenLayers, and the maintainer of http://boston.freemap.in/, which is an 
 online map built using MassGIS data. As part of an effort to seek out 
 Open Source Geo people in the Boston area, I'm canvassing the local 
 community for interest in a regular open source geospatial interest 
 group meeting. 
 
 For those of you who don't know, OSGeo is a non-profit organization 
 which is seeking to fulfill an umbrella organizational role for a number 
 of Open Source Geospatial software projects, including projects like 
 GeoServer and OpenLayers. It is currently entering its third year of 
 operation, and has a number of projects undergoing incubation currently 
 to become "OSGeo projects", including everything from uDig and QGIS to 
 GRASS to GeoServer. 
 
 The goal of having regular meetings would be: 
 * Create Networking oppourtunities: allow users of open source 
 geo software to meet with creators of open source geo software where 
 possible. 
 * Share knowledge: meetings could have a presentation from a particular 
 person on everything from how to use a certain tool, to types of data 
 available, to anything else. 
 * "Chill out": spend social time with other like-minded individuals -- 
 either users of open source geosoftware, or just people interested 
 in learning more about it. 
 
 Essentially, I personally envision this as being very similar to a Linux 
 Users Group meeting: go someplace, here a 45 minute presentation with 15 
 minutes of questions on a particular related topic, then head out, get 
 beers someplace, and relax. 
 
 If such a thing were to take place in the Bostonish area, would anyone on 
 this list be interested in attending? Anything in particular that 
 strikes your interest? 
 
 Looking forward to hearing from anyone interested in creating a local 
 group of OS Geosoftware users...

=Brazilian Chapter News=
Following the 3rd. National Mapserver Users Meeting (ENUM in portuguese), local enthusiasts agreed to form a provisional comitee. The comitee was comprised of several prominent geopeople, from a variety of backgrouds: academia, bussiness, government agencies, and so forth.
First tasks were to establish communication channels. A list (brasil@lists.osgeo.org) and an IRC channel (#osgeo-br) were set. The provisional comitee wishes to thank our Executive Director, Tyler Mitchell for his splendid support on rolling this structure. There is also a wiki section (which lacks some widespread audience, tough) set up at wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Brasil.
Further tasks are still waiting publication from designated persons.
