[Projects] Promoting OSGeo projects on the MapScaping Podcast

[Jody Garnett]

The Marketing Committee is exploring additional outreach ideas to reach
everyone who cannot join us for FOSS4G this year.

Our first experiment is to collaborate with the MapScaping Podcast (which
you may already know from recent presentations on PostGIS
<https://buff.ly/2zahRzY>, PostgreSQL <https://buff.ly/3bLvgMa>, QGIS
<https://buff.ly/3fYIeJT>, Qfield <https://buff.ly/3cNlria> and other
technologies <https://mapscaping.podbean.com/>). We are looking for
volunteers to do a podcast episode on additional OSGeo projects.

Projects wishing to take part please contact the marketing committee mailing
list <http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing>, we have allocated
a budget for 4 projects to be represented.

Here are some words from Daniel and the MapScaping podcast:

*My name is Daniel O’Donohue, I am a big fan and user of open source
geospatial software. I am also the host of The MapScaping Podcast which is
a weekly podcast for the geospatial community. *

*I would like to work with you to increase the awareness of open source
geospatial software. I have published episodes about Postgres/ Postgis,
QGIS, QField and Input, R, and geospatial python which my audience has
responded well to. I would really like to promote and introduce people to
other open-source geospatial tools but producing and publishing podcasts is
not free and finding qualified guests to talk about things like GeoNode and
Geoserver is not easy.*

*Here is what my process for producing a podcast episode looks like:*

*Pre-interview *
*This is a 30-40 minute informal call where we can meet each other and
discuss topics and questions that might lead to interesting and informative
conversation for the audience. I use a software called calendly which takes
care of all of the time zone issues. I will send you a link, you choose I
time that suits you and we can go from there. All the pre-interviews and
interviews are recorded remotely using software called cleanfeed. There is
nothing to install, I will send you a link and as long as you have a good
microphone and a quiet place we should be fine. This is also an opportunity
for me to test your audio and explain the structure of the interview and
what the recording process looks. Great audio quality and the ability to
speak clearly is a must! *

*If the pre-interview goes well we will schedule a time to record a podcast
episode. I like to schedule an hour for each interview, the published
episode will be somewhere between 30-40 minutes but by scheduling an hour
we have time to fix any technical issues and repeat questions and answers
if needed. The episode will typically be published somewhere 2 - 4 weeks
after being recorded.*

*If you are interested in being involved it is a good idea to listen to an
episode or two so you get a feel for the style and structure of the
podcast. I am really looking forward to working with you on this!*
