Fifth VisCom Meeting Minutes

=== Logistics ===
The fifth meeting was held May 25th, 2006. The agenda can be found at Fifth_VisCom_Meeting.
The meeting was held via conf call, lasting an hour. mpg ran the meeting.
Attendees: Tyler, Daniel, Peter, Arnulf, mpg
=== Newsletter ===
Tyler disavowed any responsibility for the "newsletter" agenda item; it later was discovered mpg had tried to pin this one on him.
Daniel is looking into getting RSS feeds for the main site and the project-specific sites -- this will form a sort of a newsletter.
Discussed that a "real" newsletter -- by email or (gasp) hardcopy is still valuable to some. The GRASS newsletter is a good role model for this. No work on this until after Where and the F2F; mpg to put up a wiki page for ideas. Go here: Newsletter Notes.
=== Motto and Logo Status ===
Daniel reports motto voting well underway, due to be done tomorrow. He will hand off to Peter for legal review before announcing.
Peter reports logo is A-OK as far as trademarking, etc, etc. He will be providing general trademark usage guidelines for us, a la the privacy policy, etc, etc.
We will have (soon!) a page with formal downloaded files for the logo, etc. Noted that we will be wanting version with just the compass, compass plus name but not motto, etc, etc. Having Pantone numbers would be nice, too.
=== Where 2.0 Event ===
* attendees: mpg has a list going on his Shirts page, we're at ~15ish already.
* shirts: mpg is forging ahead, budget issues notwithstanding. $400 rush fee will be required. See Shirt. Good response from members so far. Will be sending out shirt style requests in a day or two.
* press event
** mpg just about done, Kristen will take over from here
** mpg will get participant bios finished and handed off
** mpg will try to get Rich G. to agree to be on-site coordinator
** Kristen to get mpg list of press contacts
* speakers and BOFfers: Tyler (and Chris) working to coordinate. Good coverage for almost all OSGeo constituencies. Goal is to be sure and give a BOF spot to those without a main-stage spot.
* Ad status: Peter has sent this off for publication.
* Flyer status: Peter will provide 300 handouts of the flyer (same as the ad); Tyler is working on the per-project handouts.
* Passes: Autodesk has some, Tyler has some (from Nat). We are distributing to the needy as per emailed policy.
* Booth
** Peter has some Autodesk event coordinators in control of this. It will be a 10x10, have power, etc. Bring your own laptop, probably.
** Still working out details of who will be manning the booth when.
** Tyler to look into getting larger posters, like Arnulf had for LinuxTag.
* Pixie Hunt: mpg unsure what this is, but sounded fun. Tyler and/or mpg to try and get an OSGeo team together.
=== InterGeo Event ===
Discussion of lack of action on this, as only Arnulf is German. No action taken; agreed we need locale-specific Vis/Outreach support in general.
=== Next Meeting ===
Our next regular meeting will be in two weeks, same time and number and channel.
* agenda here Sixth_VisCom_Meeting.
* we will focus on Face-to-Face planning

Finance Report 2007

DRAFT financial statements for 2007 year-end are located here. These are not passed and approved by the Finance Committee yet.
----
THE FOLLOWING IS A WORK IN PROGRESS AND NOT COMPLETE
The narrative for the Financial Report section, from the Finance Committee, is under development
------
OSGeo's first full financial was in 2007. While there were some funds to manage in 2006, the sponsorships and other costs really started moving at the end of the year and into 2007.
== Highlights from 2007 ==
* Dave McIlhagga was appointed Treasurer for OSGeo.
* The Board created a Finance Committee to oversee financial activities. The group consists of: Dave McIlhagga, Jo Walsh, Paul Ramsey, Ken Tamura, Tyler Mitchell. The group uses a public mailing list for most of its discussion. (See http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/finance)
=== Sponsorship & Revenue ===
There were officially seven sponsors during 2007. Three of whom donated at the end of 2006 but four additional ones who joined throughout the 2007 calendar year. Sponsorship positions have a 1 year term and all 2006 sponsors renewed their support for another year.
* $130,000 was from Autodesk as a special donation, giving them a Sustaining Sponsorship position
* $20,000 came from the Supporting Sponsors: INPE and Ingres
* $12,000 came from the Associate Sponsors: 1Spatial, First Base Solutions, LizardTech, WhereGroup
There was also significant revenue generated from annual Project Sponsorships through GDAL/OGR.
Our first year of fundraising was a success and helped sustain and surpass our financial needs for the year. Additional sponsors for the following year are already starting to come forward so our program can be extended. 
More than $100,000 was raised from the FOSS4G 2007 annual event.

Finland Chapter Report 2008

The Finland Chapter bootstrapped itself in May 2008 by an email sent by me (Ari Jolma) to various channels. I did this as the organizers of the national GIS Expo had selected "Open Source" as the theme for the 2008 Expo that took place in September. We organized a presence and visibility for OSGeo on the Expo.
Currently we have 31 subscribers to the Finland list at lists.osgeo.org but the list is not very active. 
The current plan and mode of operation is to work with the professional GIS association of Finland (ProGIS), which is quite active and organizes seminars twice a year. The topic of the ProGIS spring seminar 2009 is "Free software and GIS".
Finland Chapter Report 2009

== Finland Chapter Report 2009 == 
The OSGeo Finland Chapter was established in the summer of 2008 so 2009 was the first full year of existence. 
We have an email list and wiki page provided by OSGeo. These have, however, been used very little.
The big event in 2009 was a half day mini conference organized jointly with ProGIS. The conference was in April 21 on the campus of Helsinki University of Technology (now Aalto University School of Science and Technology) and it was attended by more than 50 people. There were four presentations in the conference, which gave an overview of OSGeo and FLOSS4G, the free web-stack, WPS, and the role of free software in what ESRI does. The feedback of the conference was positive.

Finland Chapter Report 2012

== Introduction ==
The Finnish OSGeo local chapter has been quite slow moving in last years. Year 2012 was new activation period.
== Activities in 2012 ==
FOSS4G 2013 application was our biggest effort on 2012. We collected several supporter organisations together and activated almost 100 persons to be active in area of FOSS4G. However, our application didn't success against Nottingham.
ALPO (Avoimen lähdekoodin paikkatieto-ohjelmistot, Finnish version of FOSS4G) seminar was organised on May 2012: almost 50 people participate to this one day event. Morning session includes presentation from 4 presenters and afternoon we had Quantum GIS workshop class.
Many members of the Finnish OSGeo local chapter was also participating to Open Knowledge Foundation's very first OK Festival on September in Helsinki. Open Geodata stream includes presentations of FOSS4G and Open Geodata.
National Land Survey of Finland has continue their effort to build Oskari Map Application Framework. 
== Outlook for 2013 ==
Karttakeskus, a Finnish company, join OSGeo's Associate Sponsor on March. Second ALPO-seminar will be organised on May 2013.
Year 2013 looks promising to expand use of FOSS4G applications in Finland.
FirstBaseSolutions Report 2007

First Base Solutions (FBS) joined the OSGeo community as a supporter and sponsor in 2007. The company sent a number of staff to the 2007 FOSS4G conference in Victoria and was impressed with the exponential growth in attendees.
At FBS we use the OSGeo libraries and applications to power our various web map on-line repositories and stores, including VuMAP and MapWarehouse.
We are currently incorporating OSGeo applications into GeoARK, our new map appliance that works with Google Earth Enterprise.
OSGeo has given us the means to take development in-house rather than rely on outsourcing resulting in reduced costs.
It is gratifying to see the geospatial industry embracing OSGeo as more companies discover the value of the technology that has been created through open source initiatives.

Formación de OSGeo-es

Estos son los diferentes pasos que ha ido dando el capítulo para formalizarse con la Fundación, se dejan aquí para los archivos.
== Pasos para la formalización del capítulo ==
In order to form a chapter, the following steps should be taken:
; 08/03/07: 
"OSGeo Chapter" should self-organize (for instance in the OSGeo wiki, via OSGeo mailing list, etc), seeking to determine if a critical mass of interest exists to justify a chapter. Mailing List and this page. Hope to have soon a dedicated Wiki and a Web Site.
; 10/03/07: "OSGeo Chapter" should prepare a mission and objectives indicating the scope of the planned chapter (geographic or linquistic extent for instance). The mission is to sustain and spread OSGeo principles in Spanish Language without country borders limitations.
; 09/10/08: “OSGeo Chapter” should propose an official representative to liaise with the OSGeo Board. If accepted by the board, the representative will be an officer of OSGeo. Message at Board mailing list.
; 05/11/08: “OSGeo Chapter” should submit an official expression of interest (also in Spanish) to form a chapter to the OSGeo board, listing initial members, mission, representative and other supporting information Message at Board mailing list.
; 14/11/08: The OSGeo board shall then consider passing a motion forming the chapter, and designating the liason officer. See logs at 08:51 and Meeting minutes
In considering the formation of new OSGeo chapters, the board will consider issues including:
* Does the mandate (geographically or linguistically) conflict with other existing chapters or chapters-in-formation?
* Does the chapter appear to have sufficient interest to justify official formation?
* Does the chapter appear to be open to broad membership, and representative of the target geographic or linguistic community? (eg. if a chapter had the objective to cover all Spanish speakers, it would be inappropriate if the only interest demonstrated was from one country)
===Noticias sobre la Formalización del capítulo===
* El Consejo de Dirección está elaborando un reglamento general para el Capítulo
* El capítulo ha elegido un Consejo de Dirección (CD).
* El capítulo tiene un grupo de Miembros con Derecho a Voto (MDV).
* Se ha redactando y enviado la borrador de solicitud de formalización del Capítulo.

Forward

This page is a collection of ideas to be discussed at the September F2F meeting in Denver, Colorado at FOSS4G.
To start off we need to understand the existing strategic vision of OSGeo. Then we need to encourage a dialog on where OSGeo is headed and what activities it should undertake to promote and advance OSGeo-related projects.
== Collection of Ideas ==
This is just a brain storm, please reorder, add and delete at will. 
* Improve OSGeo visibility to users
* Certification program
* Become more domain specific: (logistics, environmental, agriculture, forestry,
mining, etc.)
* Interoperate more with mainstream (GeoBI, GeoETL, GeoEAI, GeoCRM, etc.)
* Improve Documentation
* Improve translations
* Improve interaction between OSGeo and Local Chapters
* GIS Usage vs. GIS software development
* Add more Global perspective.
* attract more sponsorship / funding for OSGeo
* Support regional FOSS4G events
* Improve OSGeo's use in educational programs at all levels? 
* Foster adoption by local governments
* Enhance direct dialog between the software groups and our education group
* Track memberships (small fee) and specifically state member benefits
