[OSGeo-Discuss] Board candidate vision: Landon Blake

[Jody Garnett]

Collaboration is always tricky, we have done a couple experiments with GeoServer/deegree collaboration - but found it depends on a developer from each team having budget at the same time (and enough budget to pay for collaboration).

Dirk:

You are correct. I overlooked those projects. Kinda embarrassing since I helped Geoserver through incubation. Thanks for the correction. I still think there is room for more cooperation among Java geo developers.

Landon,
I don't understand your third point.
IMHO following OSGeo projects are Java projects (if I don't miss any):
- deegree
- geomajas
- geoserver
- geotools

I wanted to share some comments on what I’d like to accomplish as an OSGeo Board Member. I have a bad habit of over committing, so I’m going to modestly limit my list of goals to the following:

1)      Work to help private companies and businesses that support the OSGeo software stack and other open source geospatial software. This includes increasing awareness about the software support services made available by these companies to customers and clients. It also includes making it easier for these private companies to support OSGeo activities and to receive recognition for this support.

2)      Work to further support OSGeo Labs. This includes identifying current hold-ups in our incubation and project approval process. I want to make it as easy as practical for projects to enter and graduate from incubation.

3)      Provide better coordination and organization of our open source Java geospatial community. Currently GeoTools is the only Java geospatial project in our software stack. I’d like to see greater cooperation among the Java advocates of OSGeo. This might include joint development of some standard libraries and packaging standards for the different platforms. I also think there is a tremendous opportunity to develop open source geospatial applications and libraries for Android.

4)      Organization house-keeping. This includes checking in with each committee to determine if it is functioning and if it has the resources it needs. Defunct committees will need a reboot. Committees that lack sufficient volunteer support or resources should be hibernated.

However the election turns out, I hope to continue my work on the Journal and with OSGeo Labs.



Thanks.



Landon
