FOSS4G 2013 Planning Meeting November 30th

Attendees: 
Antony, Jo, Steven, Jeremy, Rollo, Claire. 
Web Site (BR, JC)
Mostly there, to be transferred to main site. Some minor issues to be fixed first. Should be done by 10th (Barry away till Wed). Hold off with CfP until then, unless there is delay in site in which case CfP should proceed.
Home page should be simplied a bit to give more prominence to 'hero' panel, and align boxes if possible? May be resolved by addition of content. Jo to discuss with Barry. Background and other features work well.
Program (RH)
CfP doc almost ready to go - by 10th Dec if poss. A little needed about the overall theme. Edit down if possible, depending on how it looks on page? V. short abstract needed also for community voting. This leaves us with a small window to agree voting proposal for lists and get opinions, and sort out submission process. Programme group to have a call next week to nail this.
Confirmed that conf runs from 17 - 20 Sept (5 days). Jo to update website.
Need to leave adequate time for programme selection noted.
Rollo meeting with Ken today.
Contract (SF, CH)
Venue contract still with venue, awaiting their agreement before sending to OSGeo. Venue has agreed in principle to 10% deposit, awaiting confirmation. WiFi not mentioned at the moment other than in general terms. Para needed on specifics -eg ask for dedicated support for wifi? Jeremy to draft.
Relationship with AGI (JM, CH)
JM attended AGI Conference working group for 2013. GeoCommunity theme/title = Open for Business
Some nervousness re impact of FOSS4G on AGI event compounded by a change in senior personnel at AGI. Meeting scheduled for 17th Dec (JM, SF to meet with AGI Chair & Director), we will be trying to reassure them.
Suggest agreeing differentiation of messages, target audience, geographic reach
AOB
None
DONM
Fri 21st Dec 2pm WebEx (Antony) with festive virtual drinks provided by Steven.
Next F2F April unless needed before.
Fortnightly calls and April F2F to be scheduled from Jan.
FOSS4G 2013 Workshops Google+ Hangout February 20th

Hour long Google+ Hangout to discuss the plan for Workshops and Code Sprints with those interested in attending or running at FOSS4G 2013.
Only 7 people attended including Mark and Jeremy from the LOC but it was a good opertunity to catch-up and we did get some feedback from people like Ian Turton to say that our plans seem sound.
Facitities wise we currently have 2 labs booked but may need to book a few more if we are expecting a similar number of Workshops as previous years. We expect to be able to have access to about 20 laptops (8 from Horizon, 8 from Ordnance Survey and 6 from Astun Technology) which can be used for Workshops.
Our preference would be to use LiveUSB or LiveDVD to run the Workshops but we need to consider if we can facilitate using Virtual Machines.

* Matt Walker
Notes
Consider a slight twist on traditional code sprints / workshops incorporating random hacks of kindness alongside
Traditional Workshops and Code Sprints on OSGeo projects
Running alongside have Random Hacks of Kindness
Food and facilities are important...
Looking to broaden the audience
Look for a mixture of longer and shorter workshops
Actions for next call
Come with a wish list for the event so me can work out what needs to be done
Ian to talk to Arnulf about how things have been done before and how a theme might tie in
Executive Summary
Collectively we visit code sprints and workshops all the time. We wish to create The Best Experience possible. Broadly we want it to be awesome.

FOSS4G 2014 Bid Process Board Voting

The OSGeo Conference Committee votes for the 2014 hosting resulted in a tie. A re-vote did not change the outcome. The following is the process used to solve the tie breaker, through a vote by the OSGeo Board.
== Board Vote ==
Voting for where to host the global FOSS4G event is very important, and
each Board member must take this responsibility seriously. This
means of course reviewing each proposal and budget closely, and
reviewing the excellent Q/A already done by the Conf Comm
(http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/OSGeo-Conference-Committee-f3721662.html).
=== Proposal Documents ===
* available at http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/foss4g/proposals/2014/
* Board members should also review the 2014 RFP (http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/foss4g/rfp/2014/), specifically the "Evaluation Criteria" section, on page 9. (as the Conf Comm did, the OSGeo Board must also vote according to the Evaluation Criteria as specified in the RFP)
=== Abstension ===
* Mark Lucas, as a Board member and also a member of the DC local committee, will not be allowed to vote
* Mark Lucas, while noting he has no financial conflict of interest as described by OSGeo bylaws, has volunteered to abstain in order to address concerns raised by others.
=== Vote Process ===
We should keep the same voting process as the Conf Comm: please send your
city selection to Paul Bart as CRO privately.
=== Vote Deadline ===
Votes should be sent to Paul Bart bartvde[at]osgis.nl by end of next Monday, the 29th this Friday, Aug 2nd.
=== Tie Breaker ===
In the case of a tie, the President's vote should count as 1.5 votes.
=== Vote Results ===
Individual votes will not be made public afterwards, only the winner will be announced.
=== Board Q/A ===
Can occur openly on the Board mailing list.

(2014년 5월 26일) □ 국토교통부(장관 서승환)는 OSGeo(대표 Jeff McKenna)가 지난 5월 16일 세계 최대의 오픈소스GIS 컨퍼런스인 FOSS4G(Free and Opensource Software for Geospatial) 행사의 2015년 서울 개최를 유치 확정하였다고 발표하였다.
- ‘FOSS4G 컨퍼런스’는 일반적으로 전 세계에서 700명 ~ 1,000 명 가량이 참가하는 국제 대회로서 다양한 오픈소스GIS기술, 개발, 활용, 정책등에 대한 200건이 넘는 발표 및 논의가 진행된다. 한국이 아시아권에서는 최초로 개최를 하게 된다.
- FOSS4G 컨퍼런스 유치는 국토교통부와 OSGeo 한국어 지부(대표 신상희), 한국 공간정보 학회(회장 최윤수)가 공동으로 추진하였고, 2015년 성공적인 행사를 위해 함께 협력할 예정이다.
- FOSS4G 2015는 아시아 최초로 개최되는 오픈소스GIS 행사에 맞게 주제를 ‘Toward Diversity! FOSS4G Bigbang from Seoul!’로 정하고, 오픈소스GIS 기술을 국내 및 아시아 지역에 알리는 계기로 삼을 예정이다. 
□ 정부는 2015년 세계적인 오픈소스 GIS 행사를 통하여 정부의 오픈소스GIS에 대한 지원 정책 및 방법, 한국의 오픈소스GIS기술, 오픈소스GIS 활용 사례를 전 세계에 알릴 수 있을 것으로 기대되고, 오픈소스GIS를 기반으로 한 공간정보 산업이 활기를 뛰게 될 것으로 기대한다.
- 국토교통부에서는 2013년부터 오픈소스GIS 관련 연구 기획과제를 시행하였고, 2014년부터 오픈소스GIS를 활용한 기술 개발 사업을 발주하는 등 오픈소스GIS의 발전 가능성을 미리 파악하여 국내의 기술 발전 및 산업 생태계 조성에 적극적으로 지원해왔다.
□ 이번 행사는 국토부에서 주관하는 공간정보 산업 최대 국제 전시회인 스마트 국토 엑스포와 연계되어 진행된다.
- 본 행사는 2015년 스마트 국토 엑스포 바로 전주에 같은 장소에서 개최가 되어 본 행사 참가자들이 스마트 국토 엑스포도 함께 관람이 가능하게끔 추진이 될 예정이다.
- 본 행사를 위해 방문한 세계적인 오픈소스GIS 전문가들에게 국내의 우수한 공간정보 기술을 소개하는 좋은 기회가 될 것으로 기대한다.
□ 본 행사는 2일간 전문 워크샾이 진행되고, 3일간 200여개 이상의 키노트 연설 및 일반 발표가 있고, 마지막 날에는 프로그램 작성 경진대회인 코드 스프린트(Code Sprint)가 열린다.

Korean Government, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport opened a bid for Opensource GIS R&D project in May 2014. The title of the project is Development of Opensource technology to utilize geospatial software and the RFP(Request For Proposal) includes development of Opensource GIS processing technology, development of Opensource GIS analyzing technology, and development of Opensource GIS publishing technology. The total fund is about $9.5M(USD) and the total project period is three and a half years. 
The meaning of this project is that Korean Government has will to develop not only geospatial field but also opensource GIS for the future. It is expected that the level and market size of Opensource GIS in South Korea will be increased and the awareness of Opensource GIS in South Korea will be raised throughout this project. This defnitely helps to make good Opensource GIS eco system in South Korea.
Some of OSGeo Korean Chapter members participated to plan this R&S project from the very beginning and they think this will bring great opportunites to Opensource GIS companies in South Korea. Also, since FOSS4G 2015 event will be taking place in Seoul in 2015, this R&D project and FOSS4G 2015 event will play great role in Opensource GIS field in South Korea.
