[Journal] motion: Barend Köbben to act as guest editor for FOSS4G2013 Proceedings

[Suchith Anand]

Hi Eli and all,

+1 from me also. I think this is key for also  establishing framework for publications for the academic track of FOSS4G conferences . It was  one of the key actions of the ICA-OSGeo MoU  
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ICA 

Barend and Franz-Josef have done excellent work in getting the Academic Track of FOSS4G 2013 published in time and  I am pleased to see that they are leading efforts for FOSS4G 2014 Academic Track also https://2014.foss4g.org/calls-for-papers/academic-track-cfp/

Subject: [Journal] motion: Barend Köbben to act as guest editor for FOSS4G2013 Proceedings

Hi all,

Barend Köbben (ITC, University of Twente, Netherlands), co-chair of the Academic Track at FOSS4G 2013, has been working on publishing the Proceedings as a volume of the OSGeo Journal.  He has already completed most of the work.

I'd like to formalize Barend acting in the guest editor role as well as bring his work into SVN for a more open and standard working manner.  This will be similar to Tyler and Gary acting as guest editors for Volume 10, the 2011 proceedings.

Motion to formalize Barend acting as the guest editor for a volume of the OSGeo Journal to publish the FOSS4G 2013 proceedings including granting him appropriate access and authority to complete the work (SVN commit access, etc)

+1 Eli

The Journal appears to have two landing pages, http://journal.osgeo.org/index.php/journal and http://www.osgeo.org/journal.  It is my intention to ask SAC for access to those pages for Frans-Josef Behr (Stuttgart University of Applied Science, Germany - chair of the FOSS4G 2013 Academic Track) and Landon so that they can be consolidated, coordinated, or otherwise portray consistent and correct information.  Let me know if there are objections or if there is a better approach to this.

Right now in SVN Volume 13 is the partially completed Annual Report for 2013.  I think that the FOSS4G 2013 Proceedings will be published before that so we need to determine the proper volume number.  Landon is fine moving the 2013 Annual Report to Volume 13.  Determining the appropriate volume number is something that I think falls in the realm of the guest editor.  If you would like to give feedback to Barend on that topic please do so.

Are there any other issues that should be discussed for Barend to act as guest editor for one volume of the OSGeo Journal?

Barend and Frans-Josef please join this mailing list, http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/newsletter

Thanks and Best Regards, Eli
