[OSGeo-UK] Times for a meeting.

Fri Jul 2 05:21:47 EDT 2010

In the OSGeo Foundation Board Meetings we tend to stick to chatting
because it gives us an automatic log. Way easier than trying to make a
protocol and follow and contribute to the dialog at the same time.

Sometimes it is helpful to jump on the phone half way throught to
discuss in words or ybout sensitive stuff.

Just my 2 (Euro) Ct.

Arnulf.

>  Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Dear All, As you're no doubt
>  aware, the 2nd OSGIS event was held at the University of Nottingham 
> Centre for Geospatial Sciences, and by all accounts it was a big 
> success. Thanks to everyone who attended both days, or who presented.
>  Thanks also to everyone who attended the 2nd AGM of the UK local 
> chapter. Finally- hi to anyone who's new to the list. A brief summary
> of the AGM:
> 
> 2) We have a couple of new people looking to be more deeply involved
> in the chapter- so welcome Matt Walker as our training coordinator
> and Mike Saunt who's going to have a more strategic role. Along with
> our other active members, we have a reasonable committee (which
> sounds very formal, but isn't)- and enough structure to consider
> setting up as a voluntary association. More on that in a later email.
> 3) We discussed the possibility of holding our own workshops,
> training courses, and code sprint-type events, and a number of
> organisations, including the Centre for Geospatial Sciences, have
> kindly offered their premises for this. 4) We have had an offer from
> the Association of Geographic Information (AGI) to hold funds for us,
> rather than worry about our own bank accounts. This is something they
> already do for a number of other small organisations, and would be
> extremely useful. I'm awaiting further information on what would be
> required to set this up. 5) Ideally we would like to have some sort
> of sponsorship of the AGI conference, or at the very least a meetup
> of the chapter. We're looking into how best to achieve this. 6) There
> is growing interest in an open source implementation of INSPIRE, from
> a number of different organisations, and OSGeo:UK may be a good place
> to coordinate this- we'll see! This is not an exhaustive list- but
> it's already a long email so I'll send some more information out
> shortly- and feel free to chip in with thoughts or comments. I should
> make clear that OSGeo:UK does have a mission statement and objectives
> that align closely with those of OSGeo internationally. We may look
> at changing our objectives as the chapter grows, but our aim is to
> provide a neutral place for both companies and individuals to become
> involved in open source geospatial software. There are likely to be
> some concerns about competition, particularly for small businesses,
> but I sincerely hope this will be a place where profiles get raised,
> and bigger opportunities come along as a result. Hopefully the 
> additional interest generated at this year's event will help us move
> the chapter forward. I certainly hope so! All the very best Jo --
