The document provides a summary of the history and activities of the OSGeo Foundation from 1994 to the present. It discusses key events and software projects in open source geospatial development. It outlines the OSGeo's vision, mission, values and strategic goals for the next decade which include showcasing excellence, engaging partners, fostering its mission, and empowering communities. The document also summarizes some of OSGeo's recent activities in 2016 such as its involvement in the UN Open GIS project and the GeoForAll initiative to establish open geospatial labs worldwide.
Open Source is hard, we are here to help!Jody Garnett
Open source is responsible for so much good in the world, but it can be difficult to figure out how to start.
* Choosing an open source license, and what it says about your dreams and ambitions
* Trusting your code? Vaccination is important for herd resistance
* Building together with friends
* Success with open source, save the world, get paid
This is a joint presentation from the OSGeo and LocationTech who are here to offer you help, and hope, on your open source journey! Thea is a developer advocate with LocationTech will introduce the services of the Eclipse Foundation and the facilities available to help your project. Jody Garnett from the Open Source Software Foundation incubation committee will introduce how OSGeo supports open source.
If your organizations is migrating to using open source this talk provides insight into how projects are established, governed and developed. We will also look at the responsibilities taken on by software developers, along with the legal support and risk mitigation provided by a software foundation.
Development teams considering taking their projects to the next level, or seeking reassurance, should attend this talk to review what goes into making open source safe, responsible and successful.
Open Source Practice and Passion at OSGeoJody Garnett
Open Source is more than just a license - join us at FOSS4G to dig into the “best practices” that can help your project succeed with open source. This talk builds on the lessons learned by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation in twelve years helping project teams and building the foss4g community.
This presentations looks at the core values that OSGeo as an organization ask projects to adopt. We will discuss why we consider these factors critical to success, and practical ways they can be applied to your project.
* To introduce these principles we will look at what is required to list an open source project on our website.
* Then the new “OSGeo Community” program is used to explore how these principles are applied in practice.
* Finally we will unpack how each principles is realized in the OSGeo incubation program, using examples of “OSGeo Projects” to explore different ways of achieving success.
We invite project teams interested in succeeding with open source to attend this talk (and list your project on the OSGeo project directory after the presentation).
If you are new to open source, or cautious, consider this talk an introduction to some of the risk factors associated with open source and community work - and mitigation steps to consider.
2015 FOSS4G Track: What is Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial Appli...GIS in the Rockies
This talk presents an overview of FOSS4G and the issues and characteristics that makes it a mature alternative in the geo-technologies arena. The following questions will be addressed: What is FOSS4G? What is its history and current state of the art? Why you should consider it as an alternative to private/proprietary software options? What are the common concerns regarding the use of FOSS4G? Are they true? What mature FOSS4G is available for every geo-technology niche (Desktop GIS; Remote Sensing, etc..)? Is there a conflict between private/proprietary geospatial software and FOSS4G?

FOSS4G 2017 KYOTO.KANSAI The OSGeo foundation new initiatives and challengesOSgeo Japan
Open Source Software, Open Data and Open Standards are the three vital pillars for facilitating implementation/deployment of interoperable, scalable and sustainable geospatial infrastructure. Over the last decade, Free and Open Source Solutions for Geoinformatics (FOSS4G) has supported a variety of societal needs and gained worldwide acceptance. The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) has been spearheading the collaborative development of geospatial software and promote its widespread use through several initiatives and outreach activities.
This talk present about the evolution of OSGeo Foundation, its current accomplishments and avenues for future improvements. Some recent developments and opportunities for leveraging the OSGeo ecosystem for geospatial innovation will be discussed.
Presentation on the Open Source seminar at the Geospatial World Forum in Rotterdam may 16, 2013. See http://www.geospatialworldforum.org/2013/open_pr.htm.
This seminar was organized by OSGeo.nl (http://osgeo.nl), the Dutch Language Local OSGeo Chapter. In this presentation I share my view on what "Open" for Geospatial is about. Further: laying out the FOSS Geospatial ecosystem with some major players like OSGeo, OGC and OpenStreetMap. Further on monetising, i.e. how geospatial businesses can make money with Open Source.
This presentation is specific created for the FOSS4G Europe conference 2018. The goal is to address the people from the OSGeo comminity, but also the people coming for the first time to a FOSS4G conference, experiencing a great time. Also the theme of the conference 'remembering how we started' was addressed. A video of the presentation will be published on the website of the conference soon. https://europe.foss4g.org/2018
A first announcement of the OSGeo Europe Eco system was announced.
Data Science: History repeated? – The heritage of the Free and Open Source GI...Peter Löwe
Data Science is described as the process of knowledge extraction from large data sets by means of scientific
methods. The discipline draws heavily from techniques and theories from many fields, which are jointly used to
furthermore develop information retrieval on structured or unstructured very large datasets. While the term Data
Science was already coined in 1960, the current perception of this field places is still in the first section of the hype cycle according to Gartner, being well en route from the technology trigger stage to the peak of inflated
expectations.
In our view the future development of Data Science could benefit from the analysis of experiences from
related evolutionary processes. One predecessor is the area of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The
intrinsic scope of GIS is the integration and storage of spatial information from often heterogeneous sources, data
analysis, sharing of reconstructed or aggregated results in visual form or via data transfer. GIS is successfully
applied to process and analyse spatially referenced content in a wide and still expanding range of science
areas, spanning from human and social sciences like archeology, politics and architecture to environmental and
geoscientific applications, even including planetology.
This paper presents proven patterns for innovation and organisation derived from the evolution of GIS,
which can be ported to Data Science. Within the GIS landscape, three strategic interacting tiers can be denoted: i) Standardisation, ii) applications based on closed-source software, without the option of access to and analysis of the implemented algorithms, and iii) Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) based on freely accessible program code enabling analysis, education and ,improvement by everyone. This paper focuses on patterns gained from the synthesis of three decades of FOSS development. We identified best-practices which evolved from long term FOSS projects, describe the role of community-driven global umbrella organisations such as OSGeo, as well as the standardization of innovative services. The main driver is the acknowledgement of a meritocratic attitude.
These patterns follow evolutionary processes of establishing and maintaining a web-based democratic culture
spawning new kinds of communication and projects. This culture transcends the established compartmentation and
stratification of science by creating mutual benefits for the participants, irrespective of their respective research
interest and standing. Adopting these best practices will enable

• Ways for industry to engage with academia

• Steps required to change mindset?
Increase awareness of Open Source Licenses. Open Source
can be commercial, Proprietary can gain with Open Source

• Government-Academia-Industry collaboration success
