[Board] 2016 strategy

[Jody Garnett]

We restored the original strategic objectives from the face to face meeting.

One thing we struggled with in the hangout/work party was construction of a
decent example.

I tried to produce one for the wiki but frankly it is a mess - suggestions
welcome.


> *Operational Budget Example*The board has identified communication as a
> key activity, helping our strategic goals. Updating the website (while a
> classic bikes shed problem) can have a positive impact on our effectiveness.
>
>    - *S01: showcasing excellence in our communities*
>
>
>    - Our website represents our active projects (on the right hand side)
>       but does not attach the same importance to our committees and local
>       chapters. Instead we rely on local chapters listing their activities in
>       news items and events.
>
>
>    - Clean up the intro and the "community" section to better highlight
>       these key ways of being involved with the foundation.
>
>
>    - *S02: proactively engage with external partners.*
>
>
>    - It is not clear to our membership what organizations (ICA, ISPRS,
>       LocationTech) we have a formal relationship with. Listing these
>       organizations, or rotating their logos, would recognize our engagement with
>       external partners.
>
>
>    - Many organizations sponsors OSGeo and our events. Recent policy
>       changes allow us to recognize event sponsors for their contributions to
>       OSGeo increasing the number of sponsors we can highlight. Rotating sponsor
>       logos on the main page helps acknowledge their participation and branding.
>
>
>    - The bulk of sponsorship comes not in the form of money, but in the
>       form of in-kind participation in our OSGeo projects. Many of these
>       organizations and companies are listed as service providers, but their
>       contributions are not recognized. The QGIS association and GeoServer
>       projects provide a sensible breakdown we can adopt for our service
>       providers page.
>
>
>    - *S03: Fostering our mission, vision and goals*
>
>
>    - Our mission, vision and goals are highlighted on the website about
>       page - we should at least highlight the vision on the home page
>
>
>    - The website looks dated at the present time - we could do a better
>       job on the branding/appearance
>
>
>    - *S04: Empowering our communities and extending our reach*
>
>
>    - The website committee has asked for money or time to update the
>       version of Drupal used to host our website.

> Out of the above "communication" ideas only the website committee update

> good idea) would require a volunteer to organize, even if the work was
> going to be outsourced.
