Dear all,

@Regina, thans for your reply.

Regards,
Alen

Alen,

 

I didn?t check, but did you put in a trac ticket?

 

https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo

 

If not that is where you should start, and set the component to  ?Website?

 

Each component has designated people notified.

Message-ID: <81C6B83C-2F08-4139-BFA1-13C8183C1C95@gmail.com>

All, 

 

We currently have a digicert windows signing certificate that we maintain for OSGeo projects. In the past few years, there has been no requests for windows signing certs. Is this still a need? Do we need to maintain the existing? Can app bundle signing be done with letsencrypt? We have 90 days until the current cert expires. If you know a project that uses windows signing, please loop them into this discussion.

I thought maybe OSGeo4W used it and possibly QGIS.  But if neither of them do I suspect no one does then.

Hi Jody and Regina,
we might be using the certificate for the GeoServer windows installer, but
I might be wrong... Jody can you confirm/deny?

Cheers

The OSGeo4W installer is signed with it and the QGIS MSI standalone installers.

I believe we still use that cert to sign GeoServer installers.

Hi Krishna,

Many thanks for your email and also for your efforts in organizing FOSS4G
Asia 2026. We discussed your request in our last board meeting and came up
with the following suggestions.

1. Please follow the OSGeo Financial guidelines document for this request-
https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/blob/master/board/documents/osgeo_financial_guidance.pdf.
As per request, OSGeo can grant 2000$ for travel grant and 500$ for the
code-sprint.
2. The marketing requirements shall be raised with the Marketing committee
<https://www.osgeo.org/about/committees/marketing-committee/>.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best regards,
Rajat

  Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo)

This is an automated email to inform you that your OGC-certified 
compliance license(s) for the following products are due to be renewed 
by *January 9th, 2026*. After that date, your products will no longer be 
listed as certified OGC compliant and you may not claim that they are 
compliant.

Since you have reference implementations in your listings please be 
aware of the following:

  * You need to retest if you want to continue being listed as a
    reference implementation.
  * If you want to provide a new version as a reference implementation
    you need to test that new version. The older version will no longer
    hold the status of reference implementations.
  * If you want to continue displaying the certification for the older
    version of your product, then you will be required to pay for the
    certification.

If you have already received an earlier notice and have started the 
renewal process please ignore this message.

We invite you to easily renew online in our implementation portal: 
https://www.ogc.org/resource/products/registration

As a reminder, the account used to manage your certification listings 
is: *osgeo (info at osgeo.org)*

If you have any questions please send an email to compliance at ogc.org. 
The OGC compliance team will be more than glad to help you.

Hello all

We have an open ticket about tilecache
https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/3407

Which, as you can read, hasn't been touched.

The domain is paid by OSGeo and it just expired

Please let us know what to do next

Subject: [Board] [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Budget 2026
Message-ID: <69face67-754b-44e7-ade7-49e6e33ed31d@gmail.com>

Dear OSGeo Members, Projects and Committees,

OSGeo is proud to support our committees, initiatives, and growing 
number of projects. We have been pleased to see funding applied to day 
to day operations, improvements and a wide range of community building 
activities including events, code sprints, developer meetings and user 
conferences.

Our continued ability to offer financial support is due a successful 
FOSS4G 2025 and the generosity of our ongoing sponsors.

OSGeo Committees

To plan our 2026 budget, we are reaching out to all OSGeo committees to 
help plan for the year ahead.

As our budget forecasting includes communicating with sponsors we ask 
you to list any sponsorship opportunities you are aware of for 2026. We 
realize that asking for funding can be difficult.? Please be clear with 
each sponsorship opportunity, and the visibility benefit you are able to 
offer sponsors.

Examples:
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/SAC:Budget#2023

OSGeo Projects

Each year we are pleased to welcome new graduated projects to OSGeo. The 
Board starts planning by providing a set amount to all graduated 
projects who have:
1.Reported to the Board their activities of the last 12 months (e.g. 
during the AGM or directly to a Board meeting); and
2. Have sent a budget request.

Funding allows each project committee to plan ahead, and support their 
team activities without hesitation.

Keep in mind that if any unforeseen event occurs during the year we are 
here to support you. Project teams have approached the board during the 
course of a year to respond to security vulnerabilities, or request 
legal advice, that was not anticipated during budget planning.

Projects with a more specific plan (to pursue a clear goal) are welcome 
to send a more detailed budget. Larger goals should be presented as 
clear sponsorship opportunities to your community, and OSGeo will do our 
best to help out as well.

Tip: Keep in mind OSGeo goals as an organization. We love to support 
community participation, or a cross-project code sprint.

Examples:
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GeoServer_Budget_2023
https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/GeoTools-2024-Sponsorship-Opportunities
https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_GIS_Budget_2023


OSGeo Community Projects

Projects working on incubation are asked to contact 
incubator at lists.osgeo.org to be included in the 2026 incubation budget 
request.


Budget Meeting

To help navigate the uncertainties ahead in 2026, the Board will have a 
budget meeting in January 2026 to review 2025 expenditures, sponsorship 
and make financial decisions for the 2026 budget.

Please add your project info to the budget draft at:

https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2026

Budget requests should be submitted ideally by 15 January 2026 in 
advance of our next Board meeting.

On behalf of the OSGeo Board,
Angelos

Hi board,

An update on mappyfile development in 2025. 

Funds were used to pay for support from the developer of https://github.com/lark-parser/lark with creating a parser for MapServer Configuration files. This work is now completed and part of a new mappyfile v1.1.0 release:

- Release notes: https://mappyfile.readthedocs.io/en/latest/HISTORY.html
- PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/mappyfile/
- Config docs: https://mappyfile.readthedocs.io/en/latest/config.html

Thanks to OSGeo and the board for supporting this community project.

Seth

Hi Luis,

Wishing you a great, healthy New Year!
Cheers,
Jeroen
