[OSGeo-Standards] Spare OGC membership slot

Tue Feb 19 00:52:46 PST 2019

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" if you're interested in learning more. Full observer privileges are available to all OGC members (including the OSGeo slot). 

Thanks. 
-Scott

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:

Kind regards,

Hi Bruce, 

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

Thanks, 
Jonathan

Hi everyone, 

Do we have anyone on the Standards List who has an interest in filling our spare 
OGC Individual Membership slot? 

I’m just after an expression of interest at this stage, to see if a selection process is required. 

If you are interested, please indicate so by simply replying to this email and stating so by the 18th Feb GMT. 

Kind regards, 

Bruce

Hi Barbara, 

We will renew Angelos’ membership. 

I will need to initiate a process to fill Jachym’s now vacant membership. 

Kind regards, 

Bruce

Hi Bruce and all, 

there is nothing I could report - my slot currently at sleeping mode 
and (I offered it in the past) available for someone more active 

If anybody needs this, please step ahead and take over 

thanks

@ 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

Hi Jeff and 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? 

Barbara
