hi Bruce and Raj,<br>I personally consider an honour to have the CCIP event inside FOSS4G2010.<br>I consider it a strategic event for both OGC and OSGeo.<br>In this moment I need to publish the Sponsorship Prospectus and would like to know what make sense to write into it. <br>
Please, tell me if you still want to be part of FOSS4G. doors are open for you.<br>If you want to participate, I agree about having two different lines of sponsorship. It makes poor sense to me to collect money for OGC. Please provide, ASAP, a text that introduce CCIP 2010 and how sponsors can support it. <br>
<br>do you still need somebody from the spanish meteo?<br><br>thanks <br>lorenzo<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 1:08 AM, Raj Singh <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rsingh@opengeospatial.org">rsingh@opengeospatial.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Bruce and I discussed that even if we didn't make CCIP an *integral* part of FOSS4G2010, we would still advocate for OGC and open source CCIP 2010 participants to highlight their CCIP 2010 work in FOSS4G 2010 workshops, presentations, and booths.<br>

<br>
Tyler, Lorenzo and all,<br>
<br>
I'm sensing some reluctance to have a CCIP type of event at FOSS4G.<br>
<br>
Raj and I discussed this issue this morning and feel that we don't<br>
want to force this event on the FOSS4G community. We want to maintain<br>
good relations.<br>
<br>
We will begin making contingency plans and look at alternate events<br>
that we could run a CCIP type of event at.<br>
<br>
GSDI-12 is one possible alternative. It is also perhaps a better fit<br>
for the ideals of the event.<br>
<br>

<br>
G'day Tyler,<br>
<br>
I will put something together as soon as we're able.<br>
<br>
I have a call with Raj on Tuesday where we will discuss the<br>
best way to answer this. We will be preempting CCIP community<br>
discussion. Let me know if you need more than this email in<br>
the short term.<br>
<br>
Suffice to say that we aim to have a much more structured<br>
project approach to the 2010 event, with more time for<br>
planning and project delivery. I would ideally like to have a<br>
one day stream at FOSS4G-2010 dedicated to CCIP-2010 where<br>
participants could expose their work in more detail. We have<br>
yet to have this conversation with both communities though.<br>
We are also aiming for significantly higher sponsorship dollars.<br>
<br>
CCIP would bring in more revenue to FOSS4G in participants<br>
alone, exposing (some) to FOSS4G perhaps for the first time.<br>
It will also bring in revenue from Conference facilities etc.<br>
There will also be a great additional stream of marketing for<br>
FOSS4G-2010.<br>
<br>
Strategically, FOSS4G will be seen as great community<br>
partners of OGC and in doing something positive in the<br>
Climate arena to try and make systems interoperable and to<br>
help ensure that the real 'numbers' are available for<br>
scrutiny via open standards.<br>
<br>
I anticipate that the lessons learned will come out of the<br>
SWOT analysis.<br>
<br>
<br>
One thing that we would like to pursue with greater vigour<br>
this year is to how to get greater Open Source spatial<br>
participation in the event.<br>
<br>
One idea that I'm pursuing is the idea of CCIP Participant<br>
partnerships between science communities and spatial<br>
communities / vendors. We should be able to achieve this if<br>
we target the scenarios right. This may give OS Communities<br>
the opportunity to get involved via a 'science' sponsor,<br>
perhaps an organisation like my own.<br>
<br>
Anyway, these are preliminary thoughts that need to be worked<br>
through with the relevant communities.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Bruce<br>

Hi Bruce, glad to here you've recovered enough ;)<br>
<br>
For me the CCIP process was a bit opaque - could you give<br>
Lorenzo and the rest of us an overview on the main benefit of<br>
running the process? e.g. how did it add value to the FOSS4G<br>
event - both subjectively and financially. And how much work<br>
did it require from someone on the LOC?<br>
<br>
Also, do you have any sort of "lessons learned" compiled anywhere?<br>
<br>
Thanks! G'day,<br>
Tyler<br>
