[OSGeo-Discuss] The future of OSGeo - discussion paper

[Jeroen Ticheler]

Dear all,

We had a great FOSS4G 2025 in Auckland. Big thanks and compliments to the
organizers, volunteers, Auckland University of Technology, sponsors,
participants and all presenters and workshop organizers!

I'm sure many of us left inspired and in good spirit. The conference also
made clear why we put time into this community of like minded people, in
organizing FOSS4G conferences and in the OSGeo foundation. One of the
things that I've put time in over the last two years is talking with people
in the community and on the OSGeo Board about the future of OSGeo. This has
resulted in a discussion paper that I would like to put out for comments in
this forum, and preferably on the document itself. I would therefore like
to invite you to read it and provide your valuable insights and suggestions
so we can move forward and strengthen OSGeo and our mission.

The document can be found here
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KRdCKB8HvI9FctF1Ulg6UfoCImjEYKaQkgg9l1HueZs/edit?usp=sharing>.
It can not be edited, but it can be commented on. I'll then take the time
to review those comments to come up with an improved version, out of which
I hope we can formulate a number of actions and proposals that can be moved
to the OSGeo Board for further action.

Looking forward to hear from you! For a future proof OSGeo!

Jeroen
Member of the Board of Directors of OSGeo
