Press release
== Open Source Geospatial Foundation（OSGEO財団）の設立－オープンな地理空間技術の共同開発を支援します ==
「OSGEO　それはコミュニティがリードするGISとマッピングのプロジェクトの支援組織」
　2006年3月7日（米国太平洋時間3月6日）、オープンソース地理空間コミュニティは、オープンな地理空間技術とデータの共同開発を支援、促進することを任務とする非営利組織、Open Source Geospatial Foundation（OSGEO財団；略称OSGEO）の設立を表明します。この財団は、広範なオープンソース地理空間コミュニティへの財政的、組織的、法的な支援を行うために今月前半に作られました。この財団は、独立した法人として機能し、コミュニティのメンバーがプログラムのコード、資金その他の資源をそこに提供でき、そしてこれらは知識として確保され、メンバーの貢献は公共の利益のために財団により維持管理されます。 
　去る2月4日にOSGEOは、アメリカ合衆国イリノイ州シカゴにおいて、18のグループと20を超すオープンソースの地理空間プロジェクトを代表する25名の参加者と、IRC（Internet Relay Chat）による39の他の参加団体による最初の会合を開催しました。この会合において、参加者は、財団の名称、構成、ビジョンの決定を含む、オープンソースの地理空間技術の開発と支援を目的とする財団の組織化における重要な一歩を踏み出しました。このシカゴの会合での合意により、前向きで包括的な財団設立への道が開かれました。
　シカゴでの会合の結果、財団の設立綱領と規約の草案作成と履行に責任を持つ初代の役員が指名されました。5名の初代役員は、北米と欧州から、様々なオープンソースプロジェクトと技術を代表して選出されています。
　選任された初代役員は次の5名です。
* Arnulf Christl - Mapbender, CCGIS, ドイツ
* Chris Holmes - GeoServer/GeoTools, The Open Planning Project, アメリカ合衆国
* Gary Lang - MapGuide, Autodesk, アメリカ合衆国
* Markus Neteler - GRASS, Istituto Trentino Di Cultura, イタリア
* Frank Warmerdam - GDAL/OGR, カナダ
　財団では、次の年次会合までの理事会メンバーとして、さらに4名の役員を数週間内に指名する予定です。
　OSGEOはApache Foundationが採用している、各プロジェクトに所属する個人から構成される会員制で、その個人は財団のプロジェクトとガバナンスへの積極的な貢献度によって選任されるガバナンスモデルに倣います。当初の会員は5名の役員とシカゴでの会合に参加した16名の参加者で構成されます。さらに財団では24名の会員をオープンソース地理空間コミュニティから公開指名プロセスを経て追加する予定です。この追加会員は現在の会員によって2月に選任され、新会員は理事会により承認された後に発表されます。
　本財団設立時のプロジェクトは
GeoTools, Mapbender, MapBuilder, MapGuide, MapServer, GDAL/OGR, GRASS, OSSIM
の8つです。
　この財団は、OSGEOに所属するソフトウェアプロジェクトが特定の1つのオープンソースライセンスに従うことを要求しませんが、全てのOSGEOのソフトウェアがOpen Source Initiative (OSI)により認定されたオープンソースライセンスに基づいてリリースされることを要求します。長期的な目標は、異なるプロジェクトがうまく協業し、プロジェクト間でのコードの交換を許すようなライセンスを支援することです。OSGEOのプロジェクトに独占的な財産権あるいは特許権のあるコードが含まれることを避けるために、この財団が貢献と知的財産権政策を履行します。
所属するプロジェクトは、相互運用性に焦点を当て、プロジェクト同士はライブラリレベルで、その他の独占的製品やその他のオープンソースプロジェクトとはオープンスタンダードの利用で実現させます。
　また、この財団は、北アメリカ以外では重大な問題となっている政府によって構築された空間データへの、より開かれたアクセスを促進するのなど、ソフトウェア開発の枠を超えた目標も追求して行きます。
　なお、この財団の設立を受け、非営利の団体として日本支部が組織される予定です。
発起人は、升本眞二（大阪市立大学）、ベンカテッシュ・ラガワン（大阪市立大学）、野田和徳（オートデスク株式会社）、森亮（株式会社オークニー）の4名で、設立準備事務局は、当面株式会社オークニー（横浜市中区海岸通1-2 JA共済横浜ビル6F）に設置される予定です。

Press Release Marble Virtual Globe Graduates Incubation

Published, following Board approval in Board_Meeting_2013-10-17. 
== Subject ==
Marble Virtual Globe Graduates OSGeo Incubation
== News Date ==
18 October 2013
== Details ==
OSGeo is pleased to announce that the Marble Virtual Globe project has graduated from incubation and is now a full fledged OSGeo project. Torsten Rahn, co founder and long time maintainer of Marble has been appointed as project officer.
Marble is a virtual globe and world atlas — your swiss army knife for maps. Marble is known to be used a lot in education from primary school throughout higher level classes. And it is also used in industry and research projects as a software library for displaying maps. No matter whether the topic is navigation, space science, earth science or geo-caching: Marble offers a wealth of functionality and comes with free maps which help to visualize and understand each topic. It is available for all major operating systems and it's installed on many Linux distributions by default. 
Graduating incubation includes fulfilling requirements for open community operation, a responsible project governance model, code provenance, and general good project operation. Graduation is the OSGeo seal of approval for a project and gives potential users and the community at large an added confidence in the viability and safety of the project.
The project lead says, The Marble team is thrilled to be recognized as a full OSGeo project. Being part of OSGeo is important for us since OSGeo supports the collaborative development of open source geospatial software. The Marble team would like to support this mission by offering Marble as a showcase to illustrate the power of Open Source, Free Software and Free Maps. Since Marble is easy to use and fun to work with it's the perfect tool to introduce a wider audience into the world of GIS and to get people excited about it.
Arnulf Christl mentor of the incubation process says: Marble Incubation was a breeze. One can immediately see that it is a well maintained project with experienced project leads and a great developer team. There were practically no open issues regarding code provenance and licensing showing that the KDE community which is the home of Marble provides a really good environment. Marble is a great addition to the OSGeo software stack because it makes accessing geospatial data and maps easy. It has already become a great tool for teachers around the world and we hope that by becoming an OSGeo project it will spread even further. 
Congratulations to the Marble community!

Press release
== Open Source Geospatial Foundation ==
Uma estrutura para projetos de mapeamentos e GIS liderados pela comunidade Open Source
A Open Source Geospatial Foundation foi criada para apoiar e construir programas geoespaciais em código aberto de alta qualidade. O intuito da fundação é encorajar o uso e desenvolvimento colaborativo de projetos liderados pela comunidade. Durante uma reunião em Chicago, a estrutura e visão da fundação foram definidas.
Na reunião, foi formado um Comitê de Diretores provisório. Cinco gerentes de projeto foram eleitos a partir de uma lista de representantes da América do Norte e Europa ativamente envolvidos com comunidades que lidam com tecnologias distintas (C, C++, Java, PHP, Python, Javascript, etc.):
* Arnulf Christl - Mapbender, CCGIS, Alemanha;
* Chris Holmes - GeoServer/GeoTools, The Open Planning Project, Estados Unidos;
* Gary Lang - MapGuide, Autodesk, Estados Unidos;
* Markus Neteler - GRASS, Istituto Trentino Di Cultura, Itália;
* Frank Warmerdam - GDAL/OGR, Canadá.
Essa primeira lista de membros do Comitê será acrescida por quatro outros membros, a serem selecionados pela comunidade subseqüentemente.
A forma de administração da OSGF inspira-se em vários aspectos da Apache Foundation, incluindo uma sociedade composta por indivíduos oriundos dos projetos da fundação. A sociedade inicial consiste nos cinco membros do Comitê mais 16 outros participantes que compareceram à reunião. O alvo de 45 membros está sendo alcançado através de um processo de eleição pública feita pela comunidade open source geospatial. Cada pessoa nomeada será reconhecida pela sua contribuição em termos de software, documentação, tradução, entre outros. Da lista de escolhidos, 24 membros serão eleitos pelos membros atuais.
A fundação aceitará apenas projetos lançados sob licenças Open Source certificadas pela Open Source Initiative (OSI). A meta, a longo prazo, é estimular licenças que permitam que os diferentes projetos trabalhem melhor juntos e troquem códigos entre si. Meios de evitar a inclusão de código de propriedade ou patenteado serão instituídos. Os projetos de fundação focam a interoperabilidade entre si, em nível de consulta, e entre outros projetos de propriedade e open source, com base em padrões abertos.
Enquanto uma lista inicial de projetos foi definida. A princípio, os projetos da OSGF são GeoTools, Mapbender, MapServer, MapBuilder, MapGuide, GDAL/OGR, GRASS e OSSIM.
A fundação também perseguirá objetivos além da área de desenvolvimento de softwares, como promover um acesso mais aberto a dados geoespaciais produzidos pelo governo. Acesso a dados geoespaciais sob condições razoáveis é um problema ainda maior fora da América do Norte.
Graças ao uso do (IRC) durante a reunião, as discussões foram abertas a participantes fora da sala. O consenso a que se chegou na reunião de Chicago pavimenta o caminho para estabelecer uma fundação poderosa e inclusiva.

Press Release Process

The goal is to have a simple and understandable process for creating, reviewing and issuing press releases.
Once initiated, the process will be driven by a member of the Visibility Committee. The basic steps are:
== Conception ==
Something newsworthy happens - a new software release of an OSGeo project, for example. The "owner" of said event wishes to publish this development to a wider audience.
== Creation ==
The owner of their OSGeo-related newsworthy event or their proxy writes the release to the wiki using the Press Release Template and notifies the foundation of the url by emailing viscom-dev@lists.osgeo.org and board@lists.osgeo.org.
== Review and Approval ==
* Review and approval - members of the Board and the Marketing Committee will have two days to review and comment on the content of the release.
* Legal review - because the foundation is a legal entity a quick review by our legal representative (on the board alias), will also be performed. This need will be reduced depending on the content of the release and as we ascend the learning curve.
* If other organizations are mentioned in the release, then they will also need to be included in the review process.
The review and approval process is driven by a member of the Visibility Committee, in concert with the initiator.
== Formats ==
Press releases should be done in plain old ascii text. If you wish to submit an HTML version (simple, bare-bones tags only!), that's cool. If you want to submit in Word or Open Office, that's cool too. But you need to have a nice ASCII version first.
== Distribution ==
A) The press release gets published to the osgeo-news-publisher mailing list. Journalists, bloggers and others potentially interested in OSGeo activities will be invited to join the list. Currently this is done as per Submitting News Items page.
B) The press release will also be submitted to:

Professional Support

Professional support can range from a quick answer to a problem posted on a mailing list or Open Source business model consultation for proprietary GIS vendors. In short: It is highly divers.
== People ==
Most support is given by people. These can be highly, qualified and seasoned individuals who have worked on one software package for years and know it inside out. They can also be newbies who have stumbled across exactly the same problem a few days back, got help from the list or found out themselves and are thrilled to be able to give back some help. Either way - if it helps to solve your problem it was good.
Whether people are employed by a large corporation that is involved in multi million dollar projects or whether they sit in a park with their notebook on the knees does not necessarily mean that one is more "professional" (better?, more expensive?) than the other. Surprisingly the continuity of involvement in FOSS Projects is higher with individuals than with corporations (they tend to sell, buy, get sold, lose interest, etc.). 
Agile students and small companies use FOSS mailing lists as a market place to advertize their proficiency and are a good place to look for competence.
;Maybe make it a subtitle: 
: taken from IRC... People who give help and support in their non-paid time sometimes call themselves moonlighter as opposed to a full timer who will do the job for pay. 
: ([User:Arnulf Christl | I] suggest to just call them "daywalker" as the notion "full timer" suggests that people in that position always spend more time than the "hobbyist" which from my experience is not true...)
== Companies and Enterprises ==
Moonlighters will not be able to bundle enough resources to address every problem and less so will they be able to dedicate several hundred days worth of work within a limited time to a certain solution. In these cases a company can help that is able to provide contractual bulk work and efficiently organize the related resources. This is the basis on which many of the companies and individuals listed in the Service Provider Directory make their Business.
