[OSGeo-Discuss] Call for ideas on osgeo activities

Wed Apr 27 04:20:15 PDT 2016

Steven, Maxi

@Steven: Thanks for writing down for what is also my personal experience.
Even though I followed the process of setting up these strategic outcomes from a rather nearby position, 
it's hard to feel engaged with the questionnaire.

Let's try to analyse:
The Board has as first steps (re-)written down a Vision, a Mission and Core Values.
The next two steps ("identification of ecosystems" and "identification of 4 strategic objectives" have also been done by the Board solely). 

So now, in the 4th step, the Charter Members are asked for the first time for their input. 
But in fact you have already lost me in defining the ecosystem: what's the role of the 8 identified parties in this ecosystem? And how come OSGeo.org itself not part of the ecosystem? 

And a few suggestions:
1. I think the Google Form would be easier to understand if it contained one page for every of the 4 Strategic Objectives (so 5 pages in total). 
2. The last question ("ecosystems involved") has two components: the "who is the main beneficiary", but also "who is the main actor". 

regards, 

Gert-Jan

I just tried to complete the questionnaire. I found it very difficult to understand. It seemed to be pushing me down a line of commenting on a web site redesign

It didn't give me enough context of why the strategic outcomes were strategic and it didn't allow me to suggest any alternatives. The mandatory questions force a choice from a predetermined list with no option to suggest 'other' or 'none of the above'

If we want to poll the Charter members, I think we need to provide more explanation and perhaps consider a two stage process where the first stage is more open ended and then at a late stage we ask for responses to specific questions arising from the first stage
