Let us wait for more details by the organizers and then we can decide how to present OSGeo there.
Best,

In my very limited experience organizations introduce themselves and what work they are doing in the GIS space (sometimes thanking customers who are present). Beyond that it depends on the format of the b2b session, there may be short presentations, or a panel, or an inspiration speaker to encourage groups to network.

We will have to stay tuned to learn more about the b2b format; and just come to describe what OSGeo is for, thank any of the professional organizations we are partners with, and any sponsors who are present. It would be a good opportunity make new connections - I am not sure how many organizations know that we do partnerships around common strategic topics.

I imagine you are registered to promote Gaia3D and the work you are doing, so if Helena can attend you would not need to split your attention.

Dear all,

I already paid for the B2B meeting at FOSS4G Boston and will attend there. I can act on behalf of OSGeo. I’m just curious about what kind of role do you expect there at the B2B meeting as a board member? Apology for my missing discussion on presence at the B2B meeting.

Cheers,
신상희 드림

Dear Jody

I already gave my availability in attending the B2B meeting. I wonder if this cost is covered by OSGeo. Please is it  possible to confirm that?

Best,

Maria

Oggetto: Re: [Board] foss4g 2017 boston planning

I have gathered up feedback form email, conversations, and a bit of direction from venka onto the wiki: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2017_Booth#OSGeo_Meetings_and_Events

This gives us a day by day breakdown, start time, contact point / organizer for each activity.

Thanks to everyone who has volunteered, while it will be a busy week I am glad we are sharing the workload.

I had two gaps in our story:
- We do not have a specific organizer for the F2F meeting Monday, I have penciled in Helena as our vice president.
- I could not remember if we have volunteer for the B2B meeting Tuesday afternoon; this is an extra expense to attend, but important for us to be present (both to promote our foundation, but also our partners).

Status update from this mornings hangout:

We were able to sort out a time schedule for AGM and Closing.
- There is more time available for the General Meeting than anticipated, considering inviting partners to speak
- A solid effort will be required to reach out to local chapters this year
- LOC requested we focus on an OSGeo intro + status update during closing
- We also discussed the creation of additional awards; aligned with our goals...
- https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Annual_General_Meeting_2017

FOSS4G Booth and time commitments
- structure has changed, moving from hallways to a more centralized location
- Marc has proposed setting up a larger common area with neighbours (LocationTech etc...) to create a hang out space
- https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2017_Booth

Meetings and time management:
- Monday 18:00 is the only slot free for f2f meeting<https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Face_to_Face_Meeting_Boston_2017> (other board members have workshop commitments). Guido will look into either a conference room (plus takeout) or a restaurant with a function room.
- Ice Breaker - we are still good to combine forces here with for sponsor networking event
- We have a meeting with sponsors pending, may be able to combine into a meeting with sponsors and partners. Looking for a breakfast meeting Wednesday?
