<div>The judging of student papers/posters is an item on the Academic Committee’s to-do list from way back, though recently it’s been subsumed to reviewing the academic papers. But now is the time to get commitments for judges from Committee members
/ GeoForAll representatives who will be at the conference. Charlie and Zia (co-chairs) and I will chat more about that separately.<br>

</div>
<div> I see - I thought you were talking about establishing new awards while you probably had in mind existing awards. Currently the FOSS4G2017 program in relation to AGM and awards is rather confusing for me and it is different from what we have here
<div><a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Annual_General_Meeting_2017" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/An<wbr>nual_General_Meeting_2017</a><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>the program lists awards as part of AGM while our wiki shows awards as part of closing ceremony.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In my opinion at least the Sol Katz award should be at the closing ceremony where everybody is present and there are no other parallel sessions - this should be indicated in the program grid.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Other awards that we had in the past are: </div>
<div>
<ul style="margin:0.3em 0px 0px 1.6em;padding:0px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif">
<li style="margin-bottom:0.1em">Developer Award funded and delivered by GeoCat representative - do we have a confirmation from GeoCat that this will happen this year? Do they want it as part of closing ceremony or would they be OK with AGM?: (have
a slide to cover finding awardee on screen)</li><li style="margin-bottom:0.1em">Student Awards - GeoForAll: (have a slide to cover finding awardee on screen) - as I understand it this should be for the best student presentation/paper and best student poster - two total. This could be done at AGM.
Do we have volunteers in the academic committee to evaluate the papers and posters, select the awardee and prepare the award itself? </li></ul>
<div><font color="#252525" face="sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">Also, given that AGM is now scheduled as one of parallel sessions we definitely don't need a room with 350 seats - I doubt that there will be more than 100 people present, some speakers for the committees and projects may actually have
a conflict with their presentations but we can deal with that (I will send a separate email about the AGM)</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think this would be best started at the f2f meeting in Boston, identify volunteers willing/interested to handle the awards - most organizations have an awards committee for this and have the committee work on the process. Such committee can
then handle all awards except for Sol Katz which has already a well established process and committee.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think that the current board has too many open items on its agenda and upcoming elections that there isn't enough time to add new awards to Boston event and handle them properly. </div>

<div>This is just my suggestion, other may have different opinion on this,</div>

<div dir="ltr">I am reminded, with today's sol katz nominations, that we talked about setting up more awards to better acknowledge our community members (internal community building as it were, focusing on recognizing those that are hitting our goals
as an organization).
<div><br>
</div>
<div>GetCat has sponsored a "innovative developer" award. I still think there is opportunity here to look at some of our other goals like "open standards".</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think we could also use an "outreach" or "advocacy" award for those promoting our ideas to new audiences.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Finally a "leadership award" or even better a "new leadership" award for those inspiring individuals he motivate us all to do better.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I understand that several aspects mentioned above go into the Sol Katz award, however I view the Sol Katz award as one for service. Looking at the impressive list prior recipients it comes across as a life time achievement award - and not the
best tool for community building.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please take a moment to review and think about the above, and perhaps review our goals.</div>
