[Board] Board meeting 2022-02-28

Wed Apr 20 12:09:02 PDT 2022

The projects do support standalone deployment. But it was not obvious in their documentation. We asked to make that a lot more prominent. It was readily agreed upon.

Sadly I am away next Monday, I will see if I can be online at that time.

So what was missing from the meeting minuets is this resolution:

Has the board decided on supporting open-source platforms? (Widen the reach of the foundation)
Or did the projects change to be presented as standalone software? (Perhaps desired result from open-source advocacy standpoint)

Dear Jody,

During that meeting the board gave a short introduction to the way 
incubation and community project programs work.
We asked both candidates if their software is open source and if it can 
be installed as stand alone or if it is a platform only setup. Can you 
please join the next board meeting on Monday so we can discuss further 
details on how to proceed?

Best,
Angelos

  Here are my notes sent to the incubation list from November when the

decision was made to bring the topic to the board.

*I attended the board meeting following the AGM last month, and it was so

early I do not quite remember what was said :D I wanted to follow up with

some of our unanswered questions over the course of the year, and emerged

with the following: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_Meeting_2021-10-03

<https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_Meeting_2021-10-03>*

    - *portals: I was not very effective at explaining what a portal was so

       the board is going to chat with the project team directly. They also

       wondered if these projects fit effectively with the open data team.*

          - *[ACTION]: Setup a meeting with the board and GISCollective*

          <https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/osgeo/todo/issues/116>

       - *copyleft-equality: topic was discussed, moving to "the next"

       meeting and perhaps invite bruce*

So this is me asking for an update, did the board meet with GISCollective

representation and decide on a way forward?
