[OSGeo-Discuss] [OSGeo-Standards] Spare OGC membership slot

Wed Feb 20 23:31:06 PST 2019

May I also request that  OSGeo representatives who take up these slots to please also take some time to share OSGeo events updates and information in the OGC maillists to help build wider collaborations/synergies. As part of  the OSGeo-OGC MoU , they can share key OSGeo events (FOSS4G conferences etc) to the OGC maillists etc. So please respond to this call for volunteers request if you are interested. Thanks.

Best wishes,

Suchith

I'm looping Scott's comments (from the OGC) into the general OGC discussion forum, as I think there are others who might be interested.

I'll add that you should plan to dedicate a lot of time if you intend to partake in OGC initiatives. The OGC tackles hard interoperability problems and you will likely need to think and discuss deeply with like minded people. It is hard work, but it can be very satisfying and rewarding to be working on the bleeding edge of technology (as many open source developers are doing already).

Warm regards, Cameron

Hi Jonathan (and anybody else listening). Something that might be attractive to providers of open-source offerings is the opportunity to participate in OGC testbeds and other initiatives. Any OGC member who's interested might consider the following:

1. Sign up as an Observer for the OGC Testbed-15 initiative to learn how they work.
2. Plan on submitting a bid in early 2020 to implement new offerings as part of OGC Testbed-16.
3. Selected bidders will become participants to receive cost-share funds to help offset the cost of developing testbed component implementations.
4. These participants will retain full control over the source code assets. All that must be delivered are interoperability demonstrations showing how the work helps advance the OGC standards baseline.

Under current testbed policies, OGC does not take possession of any of the developed source code. So in some sense, this is a roundabout way to get "paid" to develop open-source code. It's generally not sufficient funds to enable full cost recovery. But if the alternative is to receive no funding at all, this might present an attractive option.

Contact me or visit "https://www.opengeospatial.org/projects/initiatives/active"<https://www.opengeospatial.org/projects/initiatives/active> if you're interested in learning more. Full observer privileges are available to all OGC members (including the OSGeo slot).

Thanks.

Hi Jonathon,

Are you still interested in taking up an OSGeo membership slot within OGC.

It will give you a private membership that you will be able to use to participate within various OGC working groups and access member only OGC content.

If so, then I suggest that you use the membership slot to see how you can best contribute your skills to benefit both organisations.

I request that you provide updates to this list, at least yearly, but ideally when you come across items that you believe will be of interest to the OSGeo community.

You’ll find a wealth of resources on the OGC web site:

https://www.opengeospatial.org/

Kind regards,

Bruce

Hi Bruce,

I might be. It depends what it entails etc, and what value it would bring to OSGeo.

Thanks,
Jonathan

@ Angelos and Jachym,

Before we renew your membership, can you please provide a brief report on the value of your OGC Membership.

I’d like to understand both the value that you have contributed to the OGC and the value that you have in turn received on behalf of OSGeo.

Kind regards,

Bruce

Jáchym's OGC membership is due to be renewed on 1 March 2019 and Angelos' is due to renew on 1 April 2019.  Do you want to continue to offer them OSGeo slots?
