6. Emergency Preparation & Response
7. Regional efficiencies CFN could support
8. Regional efficiencies that FNTC could support
9. CIS - $$$ - CFN group discount?
10. Why Open Source?

5. Slide 5
Less data entry…
http://web.uvic.ca/fnst/general-consultation-workflow-diagram
…more business intelligence
Bring it all together, on one page, auto-
1. CIS - Referrals workflow efficiencies
magically and accessible by the whole team...
…with pop-ups, drop-downs, click boxes,
harvesting and canned spatial queries!
6. 2. Function buttons (e.g. print)
1. Proposal info/codes
3. Process phase drop-down
5. CRM: govt & proponent 4. Process check list
contacts info (pop-up, dial 6. Engagement level
out)
7. Assessor notes
8. Communications log
9. Attachments list with links
10. Layer reports
11. Where? Explore zoomed in
(with some GeoBC layers)
10. Where? Zoomed out
with traditional territory

Spatial upload to WKT Fee system
KML Fee for access
External form submissions Fee for assessment
E.g. Ft. Nelson Fee letters (e-comm)
Rolodex/CRM Upload field reports
adds/edits by Multimedia uploads
proponents and/or Staff time tracking

Upload Archaeology
Response letter drafts

Slide 10
11. Referrals tools – Reporting current
What’s in the Bin? Map layers exploration –
Filter and print table some, but need to switch
Assessor notes
to desktop GIS and not
much link between CIS
Preliminary assessment
and GIS…
with spatial queries
(overlap tables, mini maps)
Can process lots of layers,
each with hundreds of
features
Print report to PDF

12. Referrals tools – Reporting next steps

13. 2. CIS – TUS/TEK - Cultural KM
Cultural knowledge management…
…cultural knowledge mobilization
Slide 13
14. 2. CIS – TUS/TEK - Cultural KM, cont.
Link TUS sites with Scan/Optical Character
Referrals reporting – done Recognition to CIS
TUS site upload Need way to link scan to
efficiencies: “Project” – like comm
Digitize interview map code: tus code
and then Shapefile Scan media – tus code
upload; Feature key Build “Explore” interface:
Excel upload; feature
Lists, categories,
key and attributes exposed filters
Faceted search

15. 3. CIS – Access, Backup, Security
Roll patches as required Future
(system emails) SSL certificates (esp for
Off site backup fees collection)
In another community Yubikey (password on
building usb)
GeoMemes BU host CIS as Applicance
Mini-server
Back-up unit
Scanner
Barcode printer
Slide 15
16. CIS Appliance Governance Survey Tool
Linux mini-PCs and Android Interactive touch table
tablets with touch screen for interface for Council
stewardship offices chambers to review Referrals,
Proposals, Treaty
Slide 16
18. 4. Community, cont.
Since we use Drupal (Debian/UbuntuLTS linux,
Apache, MySQL)… we can do community websites
Easy to use
WYSIWYG editors
Members-only sections
Newsletter building/mailing/(un-)subscribing
Ready to build “History Maps” (e.g. Living Atlas)
Ready to develop systems to support Treaty
E.g. Land selection voting, Treaty news, polls, videos
Ready to link TUS with schools
Slide 18
20. 5. Cultivating youth
Ready to link Referrals / TUS / Fieldwork with
community school programs
Interview Your Elders
Ecosystem/cultural year poster project (with Sierra Club
BC)
Record ecosystem data
What’s happening in the territory?
Asset mapping exercises
Web programming for youth
Slide 20
21. 6. Emergency Preparation & Response
Upload Shapefile of community property lines and
roads
Asset mapping of emergency assets (incl dates for
recharge and checking)
Plan documentation
Community member contacts, locations and needs
Responder training tracking
Links to Province / INAC
Real-time eDashboard (tablet) in times of disasters
Slide 21
22. 7. Regional Efficiencies | CFN/GBI
Common data server (3rd party provider... map layers?
backups?)
Community of Practice (Referrals/Stewardship Officers)
web support (with a paid facilitator) - example is
GeoMemes' community of practice websites for health...
Partnership with University research group (e.g. FNST-II)
Standards, standards, standards (Referrals, TUS/TEK,
Fieldwork, Arch)
Push for WFS data link (e.g. for Fisheries openings)
Slide 22
24. 8. Regional efficiencies / FNTC
Sharepoint is fine, but…
Is it effective for small organizations? Does it provide ‘order-of-
magnitude’ increases in efficiency?
Hardware purchases
Partnership with Dell, Sun or HP:
Cloud deal? Server appliance hardware deal? Rugged tablet deal?
Standards
Referrals – best practices GeoMemes, EcoTrust, GeoBorealis
TUS/TEK – we started with North Coast Skeena First Nations
Stewardship Society (NCSFNSS),… Ft. Nelson
Fieldwork – CGWN, Ft Nelson
Archaeology – BC Gov’t, Arch companies
Slide 24
25. 9. CIS - $$$ - CFN group discount
Pay it forward
Working for Metlakatla: e.g. Geomark, KML upload
code
CIS is open-source: available for down-load, with
instructions, on GitHub.com
Group rate…
A question of pace (coding economies of scale):
Steady: step by step improvements as we add one new
community per year
Bundle of new features with multiple join-ups
Slide 25
26. 10. Why Open Source?
Leveraging big projects
Trust
Sharing Data
Free
Empower communities to
contribute back
Potlatch idea
Decentralized
development
E.g. UVic
