[Aust-NZ] Fwd: FW: [OSGeo-Discuss] Annual Report for 2008 [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Bruce Bannerman]

It is OSGeo annual report time again.

I'll put the info together on the wiki.

Any suggestions on what we want to report about?

I'll start the ball rolling:


_FOSS4G-2009_

FOSS4G-2009 preparations are dominating AustNZ activities.

http://2009.foss4g.org/


_CCIP-2009_

AustNZ members working with key OGC personnel have initiated the OGC
sponsored Climate Change Integration Plugfest.

_GeoNetwork - ANZLIC Profile_

The Australian and New Zealand Metadata communities were engaged to try
and
get some momentum back into the seemingly stalled ANZLIC Metadata Catalog
work based on GeoNetwork.

There is a lot of good will towards making GeoNetwork work as the tool of
choice. Jeroen Ticheler arranged for ANZLIC development (BlueNet) to be
developed within a Sandpit environment within the GeoNetwork community.

The ensuing email thread showed how much open source spatial work
is happening in the region and good will towards working together.

- Inquiry into Improving Access to Victorian Public Sector Information and
Data

OSGeo-AustNZ prepared a submission for the Victorian Government's
Parliamentary
Inquiry into Improving Access to Victorian Public Sector Information
and Data.

This submission was prepared at short notice and to a tight time frame and
covers
a lot of current issues relating to open access to spatial data.

The submission is available on the OSGeo-AustNZ wiki.     (or soon will be
;-) )

> Hi everyone,
> The 2007 OSGeo Annual Report[1] was a great success and it's
> time to do it all again.  I started up a wiki page listing
> the primary contacts for each project, committee, chapter and sponsor:
> http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Annual_Report_2008
>
> If you are involved with one and see that the wrong person is
> named, or someone is missed, could you please let me know.  I
> will send out more information to each of the main contacts
> shortly.  Also, if you are interested in helping to
> prepare/collect or format the entries for the compilation,
> let me know.  You will get credit as a section Editor for
> that issue of the Journal :) I learned a lot compiling last
> years and it should go much smoother this time around.
>
> The annual report is the main reporting venue for OSGeo
> projects, committees and local chapters.  It's the
> opportunity for newcomers, potential sponsors and users in
> general to see, in one location, where things have been
> moving.  It is also valuable as a record of history for the
> organisation, so I hope we can make it another great one.
