[Geo4All] Ideas/inputs needed for committee guidelines for GeoForAll

[Suchith Anand]

Dear colleagues,

The OSGeo Board has started an excellent initiative to have  every Committee to define their guidelines and made them available to the Board. Once the Board has revised and accepted the guidelines, it will be made available to everybody .

You can find a helpful guide here (thanks Jody)


https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Committee_Guidelines#Examples

OSGeo Board have decided to give the different Committees the liberty of proposing their guidelines instead of imposing just one guideline to all of them. I think this is excellent idea as every committee has different needs and requirements.


GeoForAll has grown rapidly and our structures have evolved over time. In addition to our mailling lists where all the discussions take place, we now have our Advisory Board, Regional Chairs , Thematic chairs  to guide us but as we keep growing rapidly we need more ideas for keeping pace with the developments. I request all of you to help us by giving your ideas for this.


Also any budget needs for GeoForAll please let us know.  My request to the OSGeo Board is for having a budget set for annual student awards for FOSS4G events (as we did before).


So please start sharing your ideas/inputs for this.

Best wishes,

Suchith
