* It was agreed that there wouldn’t be any meeting in December, and next meeting possibly would be sometime in mid- January 2016.
* Due to the communication issues and workloads of the participants, no one took the lead of the next meeting; however it was agreed that someone would volunteer to host the next meeting sometime in December or January.

Ireland/MeetingMinutes 8

Title: OSGeo-IE meeting - Symposium Planning
Date: 12.04.2017 16h30 (60 minutes)
Location: Teleconf.
Minutes Compiled: Peter Mooney
Attendees: Seth Girven, Peter Mooney, Padraig Fitzmaurice, Daniel McInerney, Ozan Emem, Hrishikesh Ballal
Apologies: Richard McDonnell 
A number of items were discussed on the agenda for the teleconference. 
1. Review/Update Speaker List
2. Eventbrite Registration Page 
3. Targeted Promotion
4. Update/Progress on Sponsorship
5. Update on OSGeo (Seth)
6. Tasks to be assigned
7. AOB
1. Review/Update Speaker List
This is updated on the Google Spreadsheet and in the coming days this will be made available on the Wiki page for the symposium. Identify some people from local authorities - checking these out carefully one by one to make sure that we don’t get a lot of people at one time accepting. All of the organising committee should be prepared to give a lightning talk (if required) - but this doesn't appear that it will be necessary as there is already good interest. Chairs of sessions will be confirmed closer to the time.
2. Eventbrite Registration Page 
The Eventbrite page is now setup and is ready for distribution - Daniel will manage the page. On EventBrite at the moment there are only a small number of registrations so far. Start to send out the Event Brite registration link and website to people. 
3. Targeted Promotion
Depending on funding and budget - then we could maybe offer some free tickets near the time of the event. To students? To members of the VGI community in Ireland?
Need to begin considering social media - Linked In Group - and Twitter (for example Compass Informatics Twitter account), maybe EPA GIS Twitter. 
4. Update/Progress on Sponsorship
EPA will consider sponsorship provided that they get some slot in the programme.The relevance of the symposium to the EPA will need to be outlined. 
5. Update on OSGeo
OSGeo will send a promotional pack for 100 people. This will provide the core of the contents for the delegate bag. 
6. Tasks to be assigned
Peter will create the programme on the Wiki page. 
All organisers should continue to promote the event, encourage registrations, etc. 
7. AOB
While the cost of tea/coffee breaks appears to be a little expensive it was agreed to keep both breaks in the programme. It is a necessary part of the networking and social aspect of the symposium. 
8. Next meeting
Week of 24th April 2017
Ireland/MeetingMinutes 9

Title: OSGeo-IE meeting - Symposium Planning
Date: 24.03.2017 16h30 (60 minutes)
Location: Teleconf.
Minutes Compiled: Peter Mooney
Attendees: Seth Girven, Peter Mooney, Padraig Fitzmaurice, Daniel McInerney
Apologies: Richard McDonnell, Ozan Emem, Hrishikesh Ballal
Using the Google Docs Spreadsheet there was a discussion of the program - we will put this program on the Wiki page soon when we agree on the structure. 
LIGHTNING TALKS
Consider targeting people from industry, government, academic etc. There already seems to be good interest from our contacts in various OSGeo roles in Ireland. This is an opportunity to attact a wide variety of OSGeo users in Ireland. It was agreed to look at industry, academia, local government, etc. 
WORKSHOPS
Some workshops confirmed - there are plenty of options here. It is a matter of figuring out how many people will want to attend workshops. Then we can prioritise which workshops will be given precedence. We will have a drop-down-list on the registration list to allow people to select their preferences. In this way we can tailor the number of workshops to participants. Participants/delegates will be asked to bring their own laptop. We might also try to have a couple of OSGeoLive USB keys so that people could boot into OSGeoLive and follow the workshop from there. 
Add a choice to the registration form to allow people to choose their preferred workshop. 
REGISTRATION. 
An Eventbrite registration will be setup.
€50 is the registration fee we agreed on. There is no need to have a student rate as this is probably the lowest cost we can really offer for the first event. We will try to absorb the costs of the fees for the registration. We estimate that with some modest sponsorship we will manage to cover the costs of the day. 
SPONSORSHIP
A discussion around sponsorship options was held. We will put the logo on the wiki page - as a list of sponsors. We will also give some visibility to the logos of the organisations involved in giving the workshops. 
PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS
Could we get some OSGeo materials as part of a promotional pack? This would be very nice to have. 
ACTIONS. 
Contact individuals regarding lightning talks. Also try to confirm the workshops as this is a key part of the programme.

Ireland/Symposium2019Sponsorship

=== Sponsorship Options ===
This year we are being proactive and reaching out to companies and SMEs who may be interested in sponsoring OSGeoIE but who may, as yet, not be aware of the symposium or the activity of the OSGeo community in Ireland. The OSGeoIE symposium format is personal, informative and friendly. It will be a great opportunity for your company to showcase your products, connect with other experts and interact with potential talent for your recruitment needs. Our aim is to present a mix of both world class use of OSGeo, FOSS4G and other open source tools whilst showcasing Irish talent and expertise in this space. 
OSGeoIE brings in professional users of OSGeo software and FOSS4G from academia, industry and local and national government. In the previous years we have had participants from almost all major Irish entities: Ordnance Survey, Environmental Protection Agency, Coillte and local councils and others. We also encourage third level students to attend and offer student ticket options. 
Sponsorship (both packages) and a stall or booth (Gold package only) present an opportunity to connect directly with the delegates attending OSGeoIE 2019. The skill set of OSGeoIE delegates are rarely limited to GIS-related software and tools only. Many delegates are experienced researchers, scientists, policy makers, planners, software developers, etc. With the gold sponsorship package you will get two tickets to the conference and a dedicated booth in the event space. We believe that this a fantastic value for your investment. In both cases sponsorship of OSGeoIE 2019 provides opportunities to meet the Irish OSGeo community, publicise job openings and network.
There are two sponsorship packages available: 
OSGeoIE 2019 Gold (€500): Logo (banner) on all OSGeoIE 2019 related websites. Specific mentions/shares on Twitter. Booth space at OSGeoIE 2019 to support demos, face-to-face meetings and distribution of promotional materials to delegates. 2 X OSGeoIE Tickets
OSGeoIE 2019 Silver (€250): Logo (banner) on all OSGeoIE 2019 related websites. Promotional material can be distributed from the registration desk. 1 X OSGeoIE Ticket
Interested in Sponsoring OSGeoIE 2019? Please feel free to contact any of us below with any questions or queries you may have. Direct questions can be emailed to peter DOT mooney AT mu.ie and hrishi AT hrishikeshballal DOT net
