Okay, so move over to Dirk Frinja, he is Vice President of the OSGEO and he is talking
00:26
a little bit about OSGEO, OSGEO Europe and so on. It's yours. Okay, thank you Till. And thank you FOS4G for inviting OSGEO on this conference to speak about OSGEO and thank
00:46
you all to come to the FOS4GEO conference. First of all, I am enjoying Bonn. I had the luck to be here Saturday, it was nice weather. I hope you all do and these are a couple of pictures of last week.
01:04
But I want to talk about OSGEO and if I should explain what is OSGEO. In just one slide, well, that slide should be about OSGEO, that is a non-for-profit organisation. And it's all about to support the collaborative development of open source geospatial software
01:23
and to promote its wet spread use. Just like in the lightning talk of Arnold this morning, it started in 2006, so we are all happy to celebrate our fifth anniversary. But OSGEO is also a community of communities of open source software projects, which is
01:44
growing every year, which is worldwide, active, through local presence. This is the one slide. If I should try to explain what OSGEO is in just one sentence, then I use a sentence
02:02
of the former president, Jeff McKenna, who says it's all about the community. So to know what that means, we should look up what the definition of a community is. And if you look it up in Wiki, then you see that a community is a group of people
02:20
that live in the same place somewhere. We all live on the internet, isn't it? And another way of defining it is the condition of sharing or having certain attitudes and interests in common is exactly what we do as we promote open source geo software. But it's also an ecology, a group of interdependent plants or animals growing and living
02:43
together in natural conditions. Well, we will see later in the presentation that we are also an organism of different stakeholders, everybody doing his own thing, forming that community. But if I should have the chance to explain what OSGEO is in just another sentence, then
03:03
I should say it's all about the network. And to know what a network is, well, you see a net is interconnecting vertical and horizontal lines, but also a group of systems of interconnected people of things.
03:23
Well, this year with OSGEO, we defined a new vision and mission, and we defined some goals for OSGEO. And we defined some internal goals, we defined some external goals, but we defined also some goals both internal and external.
03:42
And if I zoom in on these both goals, then you can read that OSGEO is about to champion the community building through horizontal engagement and through vertical agreements with like-minded organizations.
04:01
The horizontal lines representing the local chapters and the vertical lines representing the partnerships from OSGEO to like-minded organizations. And today we have already a list of partners, and this list is growing. We are talking to other organizations.
04:23
But now it's time to explain OSGEO in just one experiment. So I just invite everybody to take your smartphone and to type the next message into Twitter, and I will tweet it for you as I prepare the message so you can retweet my message
04:42
if you want to. And let the world see what OSGEO is in this one experiment. Just give you a couple of seconds to type over this message.
05:07
See everybody typing. I heard the tweets message coming in. Okay. I think you know the message. I said OSGEO is a community of communities, and that is exactly what it is.
05:23
Communities of open source software projects who decided to work together a couple of years ago, what they really do today. They are sponsored by a lot of companies, and here you see a set of these companies, and if you go to other presentations, you see another set of companies, and these companies
05:43
are providing support through professional services. But if we want to know what is OSGEO, how can I become a member, and I think many of you are here in this FOSS4G conference for the first time getting to know a little
06:06
bit more about OSGEO. Well, you should consider, you don't have to consider to become a member if you want to use the software, or if you want to adapt the software, or if you want to spread the software, because it's open source software.
06:23
That's no need to. We say in open source that open source is free, not as in free beer, but as in free speech. Well, I can say to you, OSGEO software is free as in free beer, but to become a member
06:42
of OSGEO, it's also free as in free beer. And what is also important is you become a member as an individual. Everybody here in this room can become a member of OSGEO, and it's totally for free. So why should you do that? Why should you consider it?
07:01
Well, first of all, you should get involved. As for many of you, this is the first contact. If you like the atmosphere, if you like the parallel sessions, if you like the exchange of information, well, you can start to try out the software. You can subscribe to one or more of the mailing lists.
07:24
You can start following discussions. You can contribute. You can contact your local group. And now it's time, afternoon, to do some action. If you are a developer, and we were on Code Sprint, I'm curious if the Code Sprint developers
07:41
are here. So please stand up so that others can see that you are active developers. Don't believe they will be here. Ah, there is one and another, okay. So please, please, please stay standard. Now I want to ask to all other individuals who are also developers, please stand up.
08:04
All the developers in the room. Okay. This is good, because this is a conference about software development. Okay. You can sit down now. How you become involved as a developer is, well, you can go to the Code Sprints where
08:22
the other colleagues were in the first place. And you can contribute. You can start to contribute to projects. Who is a user of the OSGO software? Please stand up. All the users of the OSGO software. Okay. That's very good.
08:41
If you want to become involved in a project, go to Code Sprint. We need users. Yeah, you can sit down again. You can contribute. You can contribute in the way what you like of the software, how you want to see it evolve. You can write documentation. You can write a testimonial while you're using it.
09:03
Another question. Are the managers or entrepreneurs in this room? I think so. Please stand up. Okay. If you want to become involved in OSGO, let your people use the software. Yes, you can sit down again.
09:21
Get support from a professional service provider or give yourself professional support to others who use the software. And it goes on. Who is from governmental organizations? Please stand up. Let your people use the software.
09:40
Okay. Thank you. Who is a professor or a teacher? Please stand up. You should know that Geo4ALL is very important. You should become involved in Geo4ALL, which is the way we teach OSGO software to students. Who is an academic researcher?
10:02
Please stand up. Okay. What you can do in specific is you can cite the use of the software in your publications. This is important. You should do that. You become involved. And by the way, Geo4ALL, since this year is a part of OSGO.
10:21
And it's creating partnerships with other strong organizations. Today, Geo4ALL already has 109 labs worldwide, and they are emerging. So who will be the next lab of Geo4ALL?
10:41
Okay. So then about becoming involved. What is OSGO? The mailing list. Subscription to mailing list. Well, this is a picture of the subscriptions. There are 28,000 unique subscribers to the mailing lists. And it's growing every year.
11:01
And there are in total 290 mailing lists hosted by OSGO. Every dot on this picture represents one unique mailing list. And this is the top ten of the mailing lists. You see that the leading mailing list is the QGS user mailing list with almost 3,000 subscribers.
11:25
And even, for instance, the GeoServer mailing list is not there, because it's not hosted by OSGO. But it has also more than 2,000 subscriptions. But if we look in the 28,000 unique subscribers, the top ten most active users, we see that
11:47
they are subscribed to more than 50 mailing lists. If we look at the top 100 users in the mailing list, they are subscribed on more than 20 mailing lists.
12:01
And if we go down to the top 1,000 users, we even have more than five mailing lists. And if we go to the top all, then we have two mailing lists or more to be subscribed to. So, GeoForAll. And by the way, these statistics are done by a couple of people during the code sprint.
12:25
And it's done by OSGO software, of course. So, let's now zoom in a little bit on how OSGO is working. What is the structure? What is behind all that event? Well, first of all, we have the charter members.
12:44
How you become a charter member, well, that's simple. You get nominated. If you become involved and you're doing things and you are working together, you will become nominated by the current charter members. Today, we have 312 charter members.
13:02
Every year, there are new nominations. And this is a steady growing curve. And of course, the charter members are also spread all over the world. There are some places in the world where we need some more representatives. So, we need nominations from the other countries.
13:21
So, please, if you come from another country not yet very active on this chart, please do something and help OSGO and you will become nominated and you will spread the world in your country. The major task of a charter member is to elect the board.
13:41
And the board, that's nine people representing the official structure OSGO. Of course, these nine people cannot accomplish what OSGO is doing. As a matter of fact, they almost accomplished nothing.
14:02
Mike, don't laugh. What they do is they work with officers. They dedicate other people to do things. Officers are responsible for a committee or for a project. And yesterday, on the reception at the mayor, we had a photo with all the official officers
14:26
of OSGO and a couple of them who couldn't be there that sent an individual photo. So, officers are responsible for projects. And we saw this morning already all the projects.
14:41
And we have OSGO projects, more than 20 OSGO projects in different categories. We have incubation. We have new projects coming to OSGO. We help new projects to belong to OSGO. And if that doesn't fit, because you don't apply to all the rules that we set, we are
15:01
an inclusive organization. We have a separate category as OSGO community projects. We are open to all open source geo projects. So, OSGO projects are really the heart of the organization. And this is an error in okay, normally the shooter should appear a heart on this picture.
15:23
Sorry. There it is. Sorry. The committees. Committees are an official way for OSGO to organize his work. We have a committee for the code of conduct. We have a committee for the finance and so on.
15:41
And actually the committees are the working horse of the organization. It's there the work is being done. Most of the work is done by volunteers. I think all the work is done by volunteers upon today. And then we have the I can't read it actually.
16:01
Okay. Of course, the local chapters. The local chapters. Today, as of today, we have 50 local chapters in OSGO. 25 of them are official OSGO local chapters, which are represented by their own legal
16:20
structure, which are spread over the world, which are based on the language or on a region. And we have 25 chapters information. And I have the honor to announce you the latest chapter information, which is the European local chapter. We did the request for exception, and the status is no information.
16:45
The goal of that chapter should be to become to work in Europe, to make Europe more aware about open source software and to be used in all sorts of activities that are going on in Europe. And the reason it's not yet an official chapter is that we should discuss more.
17:06
In Europe, there is not so much discussion on the official mailing list. We are discussing face to face. So we should change that. A couple of things that are a misunderstanding of the European local chapter is, somebody
17:21
told me yesterday, it's not a hierarchical chapter. It's not a local chapter that is on top of all the other European chapters. No, that's not the case. It's another chapter that is responsible for a certain region. And that region is Europe.
17:40
And it should address to the governments and to the users of Europe, just as the local chapters address to the people living in certain countries, speaking a certain language. So this brings us to the new vision and mission that we talked about this year and that we set up after the celebration of the ten years to empower all with open source geospatial
18:06
technology. But I'm not going to zoom in on that presentation. There is tomorrow afternoon a presentation which zooms in on all the aspects of the vision, the mission and the goals and how to reach them.
18:21
So I'll come back to the Phosphogy Conference. We are now in Bonn on the Phosphogy Conference. And do you know that almost every week there is a Phosphogy Conference somewhere in the world? And there is a list of all these Phosphogy Conferences. And actually this is the work of all these local chapters.
18:43
And we saw the slide already. These are the global Phosphogy Conferences. But today they are on a European level Phosphogy Conferences, they are on a North America-UK level Phosphogy Conferences. But they are also conferences on a city level, on a country level, almost every week.
19:03
So long live FOSGEO. I'm glad to be here. I'm glad you come here. I hope you enjoy to be here, that you enjoy the presentations, that you become involved in OSGEO so that we can welcome you as new members and that we can keep growing
19:22
OSGEO. Thank you very much.
