[Board] R: About presentation at GWF-2017

[Maria Antonia Brovelli]

Dear Venka
I have a EU project (gicases), where Dirk is also involved, about co-creation of knowledge between academy and enterprises. This is the website
http://www.gicases.eu/
We are using open source software for collaboration and the project is specifically on GIS, even if it could be extended in other domain.
In the past we had similar experiences of co-creative education.
Another example can be the UN OpenGIS project where Academia (GeoGorAll) and Companies (and Public Agencies as well) are collaborating all together.
I agree with Jody that the available budget matters and weigths both on academia and company side.
Then, in my opinion,  academia should deal more with new solutions and prototypes than to commercializing standard tools.
The problem is that very often academia is poor (there are few funds) and people have you do everything to let young PhDs or research assistents to be paid... But this is an old history that you know well.
Best!
Maria

Oggetto: Re: [Board] About presentation at GWF-2017

That sounds fun:

A) whoever has the budget commitment ... this is about sustainability right :)
B) like how financial support was assumed, call them on that ... From an OSGeo perspective both academia and industry can collaborate on software, as enabled by selection of open source licence and appropriate governance structure (so think partnership rather than "lead" as in (a) above
C) what is conservative with respect to commercialization? Like they want to keep it close and use patents to treat industry like a profit Center (hard to argue against if that is institution policy) or they want low risk of having a vendor (easy to argue against)
D) ...

What are your plans for FOSS4G Asia? Are you speaking, are your travel plans covered, etc...

Dear Board,

I have a speaking engagement at GWF-2017
coming up next week in Hyderabad, India.
I am supposed to present the OSGeo perspective
at the session entitled "SUSTAINING A COLLABORATIVE INDUSTRY
ENGAGEMENT MODEL"

The main discussion points are as below;

a) Academia - Industry collaboration. Who should take the lead?
b) Other than providing financial assistance, what are other ways for
industry to engage closely with academia for mutual benefit?
c) Many faculty members are still conservative when talking about
commercialization. What are steps required to change this mindset?
d) What are your thoughts on cooperative research involving both
university and industry? Any known success stories?

Any inputs from your side is welcome. Also looking for
major success stories that could be highlighted.

I will also be attending FOSS4G-Asia just after GWF-2017. I
will miss the next board meeting flight on 2 Feb., 2017

Best

Venka
