OSGEO at ISPRS2020

=== OSGeo participation at XXIVth ISPRS Congress ===
==== About ====
The XXIVth ISPRS Congress will be 14-20. June, 2020 in Nice, France. OSGeo has MoU with ISPRS which includes collaboration and participation in conferences.
OSGeo was invited to organize:
- a Forum on Geo-Open-Science, Geo-Open-Source and Geo-Open-Data. Our motivation is to encourage increasingly productive exchanges between academia, institutions, industry, and users on important Open Geo subjects. This OSGeo enterprise will necessarily cover *all* aspects of the OSGeo theme, promoting Open-Source and Open-Data policy issues, as well as promoting open science and open technology. 
- an OSGeo Pavilion, where companies supporting open-source will be given increased visibility to help strengthen their impact during the congress.

OSGL

DRAFT
-----
The Open Source Geospatial Lab (OSGL) is an idea for developing an international network of academic/research institutions committed to promoting open source geospatial concepts. OSGL's are, optionally, built into official OSGeo Memorandum of Understandings (MoU). Building on the Academic Network model, each OSGL will be different but have common core features relating to OSGeo:
* Provide opportunities for research projects
* Help connect students with local or international researchers in the field

« HOMELESS MAPPING PARTY » - 27.02.2016
Using OpenStreetMap for solidarity ?
Join the first "mapping party for the homeless" ! It will take place in Brussels, on 27th February, at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB). You will take part to an important mapping initiative, that would answer the needs of different associations working with the homeless (i. e. La Strada, Médecins du Monde, Association des Maisons d'Accueil).
When?
Sat., 27th february. 2016 from 10.30 AM to 5 PM 
Where?
UB4.126 and UB4.130 (Building U, 4th level), Solbosch campus, the Université Libre de Bruxelles

What will we do?
 We will learn how to use OpenStreetMap
 We will improve the map, adding useful resources to it (starting from the data from several associations) 
OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a citizen-based map that anyone can easily edit ; it is the Wikipedia of maps, so to say. Right after the volunteers would click of the 'save' button, the map will immediately be updated and available for everyone. It will finally provide a useful tool to Brussels associations and NGO's 
To illustrate this point, here are some of the last updates you can find on OSM: http://osmlab.github.io/show-me-the-way/.
The event is open to everyone (associations, citizens -- beginners, cartographers, experts, geeks). The aim is to allow you to edit and enrich the maps in an autonomous way, according to your needs.
Do I need to be an expert in cartography ?
No, you don't need any experience in that domain. Having some free time on Saturday and being able to use basic softwares is all it takes. So, don't hesitate to join us !

10.30: Welcoming address. Presentation of the different projects and associations
10.45: Présentation of Dewey, Open Source Geospatial (OSGeo) and OpenStreetMap (OSM)

== Debriefing of FOSS4G.be 2017 ==
* 270 registrations in 2016 and 250 this year
* promotion was not good enough, must be announced earlier. We need to organise ourselves better and propose an attractive offer to sponsors.
* place for sponsors was ok
* We should go more in depth with technical stuffs but we also need to have a general track
* We should allow more time for content
* Lunch pause was too long. We should avoid that people leave the building during the lunch
* We should keep the event free
* Some sponsors complained about the lunch (only 1 sandwich)
* The concept of an annual sponsorship should be improved
* BEL is a good place but the GeoDev can be organised elsewhere
* OSM attracted a lot of people, delegate a track to OSM ?
* We need demo sessions
* We should only allow one talk per company
* We should give water to the speakers
* Different languages is good to attract people from other countries
* Maybe we should collaborate with other OSGeo organisations
* We need to avoid competiion with other representations
* We need to save all presentations in one place
* There is definitely some work to do. Meet a saturday and spend the whole day ?
* A debrief meeting is needed
* There will be a FOSS4G.be 2018

= Geo-Dev Evening =
== About the Geo-Dev Evening ==
The OSGeo.be is a large community with users, devs, ... and we want to organize events dedicated to the devs. The idea is to choose a tech, invite some speakers, having high-level presentations, high-level talks, ... and drinking some Trappist beers (selected by Maëlle).
== First meeting : Friday 29 January (19h-20h, ULB - local DB6.133) ==
REGISTRATION : https://framadate.org/Haimxzm7wyHoBmUa
What are the techs we want to learn ? Who can give good and interesting presentation ? When and where we will organize the event ? Do we agree with the wise beers selection of Maëlle ?
We need to answer to all these questions and more we will be for answering to it, more interresting the event will be. Since FOSDEM 2016 is around the corner, we propose to have a meeting on Friday 29 January in a place close to the ULB campus for solving all these questions.
We will meet on the local ULB local DB6.133 (6th floor of Building D, Solbosch campus : https://www.ulb.ac.be/campus/solbosch/plan-D.html)
