[Board] next week's Board meeting

Wed Oct 16 06:41:16 PDT 2013

Cameron, good point. I have added the Actions for  the OSGeo Board to consider below:

1. Updating OGC-OSGeo MoU :Strengthen OSGeo-OGC collaborations building upon the MoU and extending it to other areas of synergies (esp. In Geospatial Education).

Action -Jeff (OSGeo) and Denise (OGC) to work on the details.

2. Building up Geospatial Education Collaborations : OSGeo and OGC to work together in building geospatial education opportunities. We will work together to make available resources for geospatial standards education more accessible to educators worldwide. There is lot of synergies we can build upon the ICA-OSGeo labs initiative and network for further building up geospatial education opportunities for all.

Action - OSGeo representatives (Anne, Helena, Charlie, Suchith and others interested) and OGC representatives (Luis, Denise and others) to work on this.

3. Scheduling regular quarterly virtual meetings between representatives of our organizations

Action - Jeff to follow up this with Mark, Denise (OGC) and finalize telemeeting arrangements.

I am ccing Denise and Luis (from OGC) so they can provide any suggestions/changes needed.

Suchith

PS: Unfortunately, i wont be able to attend the Board meeting tomorrow but Jeff, Anne will be able to update all.

Suchith,
I'll encourage you to suggest specific ACTIONS to the agenda which you would wish the board to make. Board meetings are more effective if we have had a chance to review ideas and material before the meeting, and then the focus of the meeting can be on making decisions and then moving onto the next item. Suchith, you are welcome to attend the meeting and contribute to the discussion.

Hi All,

I have added an item on building more Educational collaboration with

OGC (building up discussions at FOSS4G 2013) to the Board meeting

wiki  for you all to discuss at the next board meeting at

http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_Meeting_2013-10-17

Hi Suchith, all!

Jeff, Anne and others present at both the informal OGC-OSGeo dinner

meeting and OGC-OSGeo BoF meetings at Nottingham last month could

update all and lead this discussion. The aim is to build more

collaborations and synergies in geospatial education between OGC and

OSGeo. Through the ICA-OSGeo labs Education initiative we will work

more closely with OGC in making open standards education materials in

GIS more  accessible to the wider community. Luis Bermudez (OGC) has

done  excellent work on OGC Schools at GitHub and we are looking

forward to working with him on extending this.

Thanks for the input, I will collect the notes from these meetings and

report to the Board. Many things are happening, the momentum is great,

so let's support it fully.

The OGC-OSGeo dinner meeting at FOSS4G 2013 was a good initiative and

we should work together for more interaction with OGC and OSGeo. Mark

Reichardt  has suggested scheduling regular quarterly virtual

meetings between representatives of our organizations which i think

is an excellent idea and need to be followed up.

+1.

Jeff, myself will be attending teleconference with Denise (OGC) on

Thursday to follow up the discussions at Nottingham.Thanks.

Great. Please keep us updated about it!

Suchith

Anne

I've done some reordering of next week's agenda items, seems like a

busy first meeting for this Board:

http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_Meeting_2013-10-17#Agenda  This

will be a one hour meeting, no longer.

Thanks Jeff.

I suggest that, where appropriate, a person to lead a discussion

point should put their name against the topic, as [First Last]. (The

person need not be a board member).
