[foss4g2014] js.geo, OSGeo LIVE, AGM, ten years, code sprint, booth materials

[Jeff McKenna]

I've created a page for the OSGeo Booth, it would be great if the local
committee could fill in missing details in their meeting today:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G2014_OSGeo_Booth

I also found the Code Sprint page, which should likely be announced on the
Discuss list: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2014_Code_Sprint

>> In the interest of a quick meeting tomorrow night, here is a list of
>> questions.  Please provide your thoughts.  If these issues are already
>> resolved, please reply with details.
>>
>> * js.geo details? More specifically, should this go in adjacent
>> activities press release August 5th?
>>
>> * OSGeo LIVE list questions - mostly:
>> ** 2. Is there a speaking slot available for the OSGeo-Live
>> presentation?
>> ** 3. What are your thoughts on printing DVDs/USBs of OSGeo-Live?
>
> My opinion is that the OSGeo-Live USBs are the one cool takeaway from our
> events.  I still love my FOSS4G 2010 (Barcelona) one, it has the
> conference logo on it and is a great token, and (unlike the junk brochures
> in the conference bag that get left in the hotel room) is actually useful
> for years after.
>
>>
>> * Did we resolve the Annual General Meeting scheduling?  Did the
>> website get updated with this?
>
> I believe we agreed on the slot at the end of the Thursday sessions,
> before the Gala dinner departure.  The website has not been updated.  (for
> the record here is its wiki page:
> http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Annual_General_Meeting_2014)
>
>>
>> * There was a lack of interest in a “FOSS4G ten years on” thing with
>> the initial people we approached.  Do we want to put a call to the
>> discuss list or just pass on it?  Do we have time/space for it?
>
> Venka gave this exact talk in Bremen for his keynote.
>
>>
>> * Are there really ~120 code sprint “yes” indications?
>
> Do we have a wiki page setup yet for the code sprint, so sprinters can
> begin to 'self organize' it?  e.g.
> http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2011_Code_Sprint
>
>>
>> * Which booth materials do we want neighboring chapters to bring?  Pop
>> up banner?  Printed materials?  Books? (I'll bring GRASS and PostGIS
>> In Action but there are also OpenLayers, GeoServer, and other books)
>
> We should probably start to manage this through a wiki page (e.g.
> http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G2013_OSGeo_Booth), list materials we need
> etc.  As listed there, there are at least 2 OSGeo banners floating around.
>  I have no idea what the U.S.A. chapters have for materials, would be good
> to setup the wiki page with what we know, and ask the Discuss list.
>
>>
>> * http://www.djangocon.us/ is in Portland the week before, not sure
>> how much geo will be there.  We could offer to cross promote.  Know
>> any organizers or likely content?
