* https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/board/2024-July/013548.html

* Started at 10am. 
* Frank Warmerdam designated secretary, Arnulf chairing
* Tyler provided a report.
** 501c3 paperwork is still pending submission, but expected shortly. Once it has been submitted it will likely be about 3 months till we hear back from the government with an approval.
** Tyler provided a detailed walk through the of the recent financial reports sent to the board list.
* It was agreed that Arnulf, Tyler and Bob would meet-by-phone for an ED review within the next month. Arnulf will seek input from the board and possibly more widely in advance.
* The MetaCRS project was approved for OSGeo incubation on the recommendation of the incubation committee.
* The OGC/OSGeo MOU document was approved. 
* The FOSS4G2009 PCO contract was approved with the caveat that Paul or a designate review the final text to ensure materially matches the earlier form that was reviewed.
* Extensive discussions of sponsorship, strategic directions, conference approaches, and budget followed, leading to the following conclusions.
** A rough budget was drafted similar to 2008, but with $50K for marketing efforts. 
** This rough budget requires bringing in at least one new sustaining sponsor ($50K) this year, some preliminary candidates were identified and assigned to individuals for followup
** It as generally agreed that the board would take on the role of reaching out and soliciting sponsors, with Tyler responsible for followup (invoicing, answering questions, etc)
** We will investigate options that would allow sponsors to contribute funds to be held and spent by a local chapter (with direction from OSGeo), while still being an OSGeo sponsor. 
* The meeting was ended at 6pm.

Board Press Release Bonn Awarded Hosting of FOSS4G2016

== Title ==
Bonn Awarded Hosting of FOSS4G 2016
== News Date ==
12 March 2015
== Related URL ==
* http://www.foss4g.org
== Details ==
The OSGeo Foundation is pleased to announce that the hosting of the FOSS4G (Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial) 2016 event has been awarded by the OSGeo Conference Committee to Bonn, Germany. 
The Bonn local organizing team, led by the chair Till Adams[1], brings many years of experience, hosting a successful yearly FOSSGIS[2] event in Germany, and also as one of the original OSGeo local chapters, FOSSGIS_e.V.[3]. Community members (anyone) wanting to discuss the 2016 event can do so now on the new FOSS4G2016 mailing list[4].
Jeff McKenna[5], president of OSGeo says: "The OSGeo Board of Directors are very excited for the Bonn team to host the FOSS4G2016 event. I have personally known many of the local committee members for several years, and I have watched their successful FOSSGIS event grow in Germany each year. I couldn't be more confident that the 2016 event in Bonn will be one of the most memorable FOSS4G events."
OSGeo would also like to thank the Dublin, Ireland team for their wonderful proposal, and their continued passion for all things FOSS4G.
Congratulations to the Bonn team!
== About FOSS4G ==
FOSS4G is the international gathering of Open Source geo tribes. From its beginnings the FOSS4G conference has a reputation of being a melting pot for great ideas in the spatial industry and a catalyst for many successful geospatial products, standards and protocols. FOSS4G has evolved into one of the most important geo events of the year, approaching a thousand attendees and with major industry sponsors. Excitement is now building for the upcoming FOSS4G2015 conference that will be held in Seoul, South Korea[6]. FOSS4G rotates around the world each year, throughout 3 regions of the Americas, Europe, and Asia/South Pacific.

Board Press Release Code Of Conduct

== Title ==
Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) Develops a Code Of Conduct
== News Date ==
29 May 2015
== Details ==
Over the last decade there has been a gradual adoption of Code-Of-Conduct statements at events and within organisations, including at FOSS4G events and within OSGeo projects. Adopting a good Code-Of-Conduct consolidates expectations about respectful behaviour at events and forums, ensuring they are safe, welcoming and productive and helps communities discreetly address indiscretions should they occur.
Building upon this initial momentum, the OSGeo Foundation has adopted a general Code-Of-Conduct to make it easy to apply to all OSGeo projects, and related events such as OSGeo.
Jeff McKenna, president of the OSGeo Foundation, explains:
: "OSGeo community members must be able to safely interact, contribute, share, learn, and be respected for who they are. OSGeo strives to foster growth and innovation in the geospatial industry, and diversity must be respected to reach this goal. Thank you to everyone involved in creating this Code-Of-Conduct for the OSGeo foundation, and let us all continue to promote Open Source geospatial safely and fairly."
The Code-Of-Conduct can be referenced by adding a line similar to:
: Contributors to this project are expected to act respectfully toward others in accordance with the OSGeo Code of Conduct.
The OSGeo Code-Of-Conduct is available at http://www.osgeo.org/code_of_conduct.
It is derived from the great work of other organisations, mostly from the Apache Foundation's Code-Of-Conduct.
