| 14:12:59 | helena: | LOC needs time slot for AGM - I suggest end of conference along with Sol Katz |
| 14:13:05 | helena: | 90 minutes? |
| 14:13:31 | jgarnett: | we are not sticking to just sol katz these days, we have multiple awards |
| 14:13:35 | anitagraser: | how long was it last year? there wasn't enough time |
| 14:13:58 | venka: | 90 minutes is fine. It was a bit of a rush in Bonn, just before the boart trip. |
| 14:14:12 | kalxas: | :) |
| 14:14:20 | mdsmithf: | agree, at least 90 min |
| 14:14:26 | venka: | AGM was around 60 minutes at Bonn |
| 14:14:26 | jgarnett: | aside: I really need a geoforall and community rep in todays meeting defining the site map :( |
| 14:15:12 | helena: | jody - there were 3 volunteers - can you email them remainder? |
| 14:15:23 | helena: | where should they be? |

| 14:16:28 | helena: | it looks like Peter is travelling |

| 14:17:07 | jgarnett: | (it has been sent to the marketing mailing list) |
| 14:17:17 | helena: | Jody is talking about a website meeting not AGM |
| 14:17:30 | helena: | I will cover geo4all at AGM |
| 14:17:56 | venka: | Sol Katz, anyone taking the lead? I did it last year and can help in the election process this year too. |
| 14:18:13 | helena: | who is coming to AGM - will there be more than 50% - should we set aside time for f2f meeting as well? |
| 14:18:13 | jgarnett: | think it has a pattern, where a sol katz member runs it |
| 14:18:36 | mdsmithf: | jmckenna: are you available for the Sol Katz? |
| 14:18:39 | helena: | I suggested asking Jeff - he did it for many years |
| 14:18:53 | mdsmithf: | agree with helena |
| 14:19:02 | | * anitagraser won't be in Boston |
| 14:19:12 | maria_: | I will be in Boston |
| 14:19:12 | venka: | +1 for Jeff to take the lead if he is available. |
| 14:19:18 | jmckenna: | mdsmithf: of course, created and ran it for 10 years. question not needed :) |
| 14:19:32 | maria_: | +1 Jeff |
| 14:19:45 | helena: | thank you Jeff! |
| 14:19:52 | venka: | Jeff will be at Boston? |
| 14:19:53 | mdsmithf: | jmckenna: i did not want to presume on your availability but you are the most qualified for it definitely |
| 14:19:59 | maria_: | thanks Jeff! |
| 14:20:15 | jmckenna: | no problem! |
| 14:20:16 | kalxas: | thanks Jeff! |
| 14:20:27 | venka: | Thanks, Jeff. |
| 14:21:02 | venka: | item 5: Announce elections schedule |
| 14:21:58 | venka: | Any update on election procedure for Charter Members? |
| 14:22:26 | venka: | We need to find a CRO for this years elections. |
| 14:22:28 | anitagraser: | Thanks Jeff! |
| 14:22:58 | jgarnett: | Did we change the formular as discussed at last years f2f? |
| 14:23:03 | jgarnett: | I know we ran out of time for last year |
| 14:23:17 | | * mdsmithf thinks thats every year |
| 14:23:43 | venka: | We agreed to new formula at f2f in Bonn but have not made the change publicly. |
| 14:24:48 | jgarnett: | perfect! |
| 14:24:56 | mdsmithf: | should we run it through some feedback from users on osgeo-discuss? |
| 14:24:56 | venka: | We need to announce the change to our charter membership and decide the deadline for nominations and voting schedule. |
| 14:25:01 | jgarnett: | so th election this year will be public |
| 14:25:43 | venka: | In fact, we agreed that there would be no voting, so only deadline for nominations, supported by at least one charter member. |
| 14:26:10 | vcraciunescu: | MOT1 +1 sorry for being so late |
| 14:27:15 | venka: | Election will not be public. Any person nominated by a charter member and seconded by another charter member will be selected, unless there is a strong objection made in public. |
| 14:27:34 | venka: | I think that was the new formula we agreed at f2f in Bonn. |
| 14:27:58 | vcraciunescu: | venka: I can act CRO for this year |
| 14:28:14 | vcraciunescu: | i know enough about the votin procedure :) |
| 14:28:27 | vcraciunescu: | no conflict of interest this year also |
| 14:28:35 | jmckenna: | vcraciunescu: will assist you, again :) |
| 14:28:50 | vcraciunescu: | jmckenna: thank you! |
| 14:28:52 | jgarnett: | Shall we make that a MOT2 ? |
| 14:29:31 | kalxas: | so each nomination needs at least 2 charter members supporting it |
| 14:29:34 | venka: | Thanks, vcraciunescu and Jeff. I think there will be only nominations and no voting for charter members this time. |
| 14:30:15 | venka: | MOT2: vcraciunescu and Jeff to be CRO for 2017 Charter Member Selection Process |
| 14:30:27 | venka: | MOT2: +1 Venka |
| 14:30:31 | anitagraser: | MOT2 +1 |
| 14:30:34 | jgarnett: | MOT2: +1 thanks! |

| 14:31:00 | maria_: | mot2 +1 |
| 14:31:26 | vcraciunescu: | anyway, we should think about board members election too |
| 14:31:42 | venka: | Yes. |
| 14:32:27 | venka: | vcraciunescu and Jeff, can you be CROs for Board elections too? |
| 14:32:36 | vcraciunescu: | of course |
| 14:32:42 | kalxas: | thanks! |
| 14:33:02 | venka: | MOT3: vcraciunescu and Jeff as CROs for 2017 Board elections |
| 14:33:08 | kalxas: | MOT3: +1 |

| 14:38:04 | venka: | I think the wiki page needs to filled with more details regarding participating projects etc. before we can take a decision. |
| 14:39:12 | jgarnett: | we can provide that feedback on the mailing list, but this was added in March ,we should provide feedback sooner. |
| 14:39:47 | anitagraser: | yeah, there's too much info missing |
| 14:40:08 | venka: | I will follow this up with the organizers on email and report back to the board. |

| 14:43:35 | mmiranda: | she is not able to attend this meeting atm |
| 14:43:50 | mmiranda: | so, our main goal is to increase the compromise of our community in osgeo projects |
| 14:44:18 | mmiranda: | we have a lot of users but non devs and we would like to change that |
| 14:44:27 | venka: | OK. Is it OK if we discuss this over mail over the next two days? |
| 14:44:42 | mmiranda: | sure |
| 14:44:51 | venka: | Thanks. |
| 14:45:08 | venka: | I will contact you after this meeting. |

| 14:47:14 | mdsmithf: | mutiple sponsors invoiced, |
| 14:47:28 | mdsmithf: | waiting on final sponsor invoice from boundless |
| 14:47:56 | venka: | Does the board need to approve anything related to Java_2017_Code_Sprint? |
| 14:47:59 | mdsmithf: | jgarnett should have more |
| 14:48:08 | mdsmithf: | i don't think so, almost all wrapped up |

| 14:49:52 | anitagraser: | this is a big event for users and developers, similar to https://qgis2015.wordpress.com |
| 14:49:53 | sigq: | Title: QGIS 2015 Nødebo (at qgis2015.wordpress.com) |
| 14:50:10 | anitagraser: | the request is for sponsorship + some risk sharing |
| 14:50:26 | anitagraser: | the idea is that the user conference + workshops pay for housing and food for devs |
| 14:50:37 | anitagraser: | remainder of the risk is carried by qgis.org |
| 14:50:51 | | * jmckenna great memories of nodebo. trip in taxi to shop with anitagraser ? :) |
| 14:51:03 | anitagraser: | jmckenna: yeah, it was great |
| 14:51:13 | jmckenna: | so great. |
| 14:51:33 | venka: | sponsor The request is 3500 $ to this event - if budget fails, and there are too few money we hope OSGEO will cover 1500 $ in risk. |
| 14:51:55 | mdsmithf: | so potential total is $5K? |
| 14:52:01 | | * jmckenna still cannot pronounce it, ha |
| 14:52:02 | anitagraser: | expected participation is 100-150 |
| 14:52:09 | mdsmithf: | USD? |
| 14:52:13 | anitagraser: | mdsmithf: yes 5k usd |
| 14:52:27 | mdsmithf: | good value for the size crowd |
| 14:52:38 | anitagraser: | we won't request any funding for the second event in april this year, which is dev only |
| 14:52:57 | anitagraser: | we have enough sponsors for that |
| 14:53:43 | venka: | Can you clarify about the 1500$ risk part? |
| 14:54:24 | maria_: | How many money do we still have globally for sprints code etc ? |

| 14:55:00 | anitagraser: | If we cannot find the remaining sponsor money of 10k and costs turn out in the expected amount, we'd ask OSGeo to cover 1.5k. |
| 14:55:27 | jgarnett: | catching up, which event is this ... |
| 14:55:36 | venka: | Total code sprint budget for 2017 is 17,500$ |
| 14:56:15 | anitagraser: | When we put together the budget, I think we had $5k in mind for QGIS events |

| 15:00:22 | mdsmithf: | emailed vendor, waiting on first invoice |
| 15:00:25 | jgarnett: | call out for volunteers noted on email list |
| 15:00:38 | jgarnett: | 2nd meeting just wrapped up ( 30 seconds ago) |
| 15:00:49 | jgarnett: | we have a number outreach events on the go |
| 15:01:08 | venka: | FOSS4G, AAG, OSCon. |
| 15:01:23 | jgarnett: | blog post sent, need to send out another thanking sponsors. |
| 15:01:32 | vcraciunescu: | MOT5 +1 |
| 15:02:00 | jgarnett: | but the good news is the project is underway, this mornings meeting was revising the "sitemap" and juggling where to put content so that the website is end-user focused, (not specifically member focused) |
| 15:02:16 | venka: | Any outreach activity at regional and local FOSS4G events? |
| 15:02:19 | jgarnett: | MOT5 +0 (will review and vote via email) |
| 15:02:54 | jgarnett: | FOSS4G <-- a lot of discussion here, it seems we need a spot to have a website "bootcamp" for committees, projects, geoforall, localchapters ... |
| 15:03:10 | jgarnett: | guidio said he would talk to us in May (after presentations selected) |
| 15:03:19 | jgarnett: | I have also added a few items into the AGM as backup |
| 15:03:42 | venka: | OK, please update us by e-mail. |
| 15:03:51 | jgarnett: | AAG <-- we had a booth at AAG but it fell through |
| 15:04:13 | jgarnett: | The event had a strong education focus (around 8,000+ people) |
| 15:04:35 | jgarnett: | Guido arranged space at boundless both and we had an OSGeo / FOSS4G volunteer |
| 15:04:45 | anitagraser: | jgarnett: I don't think email is necessary, if we do Loomio votes anyway |
| 15:05:02 | anitagraser: | jgarnett: but feel free to email me if there are questions regarding the event |
| 15:05:19 | jgarnett: | There was also an education panel, but no geoforall volunteer was available. |
| 15:06:07 | venka: | We are running out of time |
| 15:06:22 | venka: | item 8: Travel grants discussion - we have a requests with respect to foss4g and other events |
| 15:06:22 | mdsmithf: | Another outreach event i was emailed about this morning is the EGU TownHall |
| 15:06:36 | jgarnett: | OSCCon <-- guido has applied for abooth, event is 3000 or so people, we have local volunters willing to be at the booth, but the marketing committee is strugling on how to print material (since they are unsure how to use budget). Michael I may ask you to print and send to an address. |
| 15:07:07 | jgarnett: | (done) |
| 15:07:09 | mdsmithf: | They could also local print and have me pay from remote |
| 15:07:29 | jgarnett: | that is just it, we hve a local volunteer to be at the booth, but not to do printing and pay |
| 15:07:52 | venka: | item 8: Travel grants discussion - we have a requests with respect to foss4g and other events |
| 15:08:05 | jgarnett: | Right, what do we want to do here? |
| 15:08:39 | jgarnett: | I would like to consider doing somethign that is not foss4g specific, we have our goal of working on osgeo being inclusive and travel grants are one way to help. |
| 15:08:41 | venka: | I think OSGeo provided 10K travel grant for Bonn and also supported for Seoul (I do not know the amount. |
| 15:09:00 | venka: | In case of Seoul the LoC also chipped in some amount. |
| 15:09:32 | jgarnett: | foss4g 2015 set a diversity target, as did foss4gna, and used this to prioritize travel grants. I thought these were a successful approach? |
| 15:09:59 | jgarnett: | discusion on twitter indicated that foss4g loc was leaving this to the board |
| 15:10:32 | venka: | I would prefer that participants are funded based on the merit of their work/presentation rather than any other criteria. |
| 15:10:57 | jgarnett: | I would not, if we are to encourage diversity we need to reach out and be supportive. |
| 15:12:06 | venka: | Although our discussion on this is delayed, I would suggest we discuss and finalize this on e-mail before 20 April. |
| 15:12:19 | anitagraser: | merit is hard the predict, it's not objective, and everyone has subconscious bias |
| 15:12:27 | jgarnett: | venka: was is your reason for leaning on merit? If we take this approach we will only fund our contirbutros and not grow our community |
| 15:13:50 | helena: | it will need to be multiple criteria |
| 15:14:29 | jgarnett: | rough idea would be to follow our successful "code sprint" model, allow events to request travel assistence and balance costs with the event. Was going to leave the criteria up to each event (code sprint is different than foss4g-ar), but ask that each event set a diversity target (however small). |
| 15:14:30 | venka: | I mentioned last time too that only participants having a presentation accepted could be considered for travel support. I think travel grants are meant for participants who cannot support their travel to make their presentation. |
| 15:14:34 | helena: | and we will need a volunteer to lead this |
| 15:15:17 | jgarnett: | I was hoping that by making this a funding question the board could avoid making the criteria and/or decisions for each event. |
| 15:15:50 | venka: | I suggest we have a timebound discussion on e-mail and try to arrive at a decision by 20 April. |
| 15:15:51 | jgarnett: | still this is only my idea, if I have made it too complicated we can choose another. |
| 15:16:30 | jgarnett: | foss4g has a specific short term need, I just want to avoid using travel grants as a band-aid for high conference fees (my concern with venka's suggestion). |
| 15:16:41 | mdsmithf: | i do like the idea of having it done by the event |
| 15:16:57 | mdsmithf: | then we get diversity in the funding grant approaches |
| 15:17:22 | helena: | so should we give foss4g2017 loc the funds and ask them to handle the travel awards? |
| 15:17:32 | mdsmithf: | or whomever |
| 15:17:52 | jgarnett: | I was going to propose we do a funding match with sponsors, to see if we can turn $10 used in 2016 (which we do not have in our budget this year BTW), into $20k. |
| 15:18:06 | mdsmithf: | funding the smaller events might bring more for the $ |
| 15:18:30 | jgarnett: | agreed about funding smaller events and code sprint travel. |
| 15:18:49 | jgarnett: | (since community connection can happen at all different sizes of gatherings) |
| 15:19:01 | venka: | I think this needs a discussion on e-mail. |
| 15:19:12 | jgarnett: | I woudl like to avoid the scramble and funny money games played on this topic for previous foss4g events. |
| 15:19:16 | venka: | This item needs a discussion on e-mail. |
| 15:19:27 | jgarnett: | (where we basically say deduct it from the money you return to us) |
| 15:19:40 | jgarnett: | venka woudl you like to make a motion to take this to email? |
| 15:20:08 | venka: | MOT6: Discuss about FOSS4G Travel Grant by email. |

| 15:21:01 | jgarnett: | I will be quick, http://www.osgeo.org/content/sponsorship/sponsors.html |
| 15:21:01 | venka: | Any update about the sponsorships? |
| 15:21:02 | sigq: | Title: OSGeo Sponsors | OSGeo.org (at www.osgeo.org) |
| 15:21:41 | jgarnett: | We also have press released out for Gaia3D, GeoCat, GeoSolutions |
| 15:22:10 | anitagraser: | thanks Jody! |
| 15:22:14 | jgarnett: | Michael we are waiting to invoice boundless (got stuck on UN Hackathon confusion - I think you have everything now) |
| 15:22:18 | venka: | Thanks, jgarnett and also to our sponsors. |
| 15:22:29 | jgarnett: | Astun has confirmed they will sponsor again this year. |
| 15:22:32 | mdsmithf: | The sponsorship language was updated to weed out the SEO companies |
| 15:22:38 | jgarnett: | We have also removed two SEO companies from our page |
| 15:22:48 | jgarnett: | the remaining one will be removed when it has had its year in the sun |
| 15:22:56 | jgarnett: | one question |
| 15:23:06 | venka: | yes |
| 15:23:14 | jgarnett: | many code sprint sponsors (scuh as Geodan) and foss4g sponsors qualify to be listed on our page. |
| 15:23:21 | jgarnett: | how should we approach this? |
| 15:23:39 | jgarnett: | Q: Should I email them asking if they woudl like to be cross listed, CCing the event sponsors? |
| 15:23:49 | anitagraser: | jgarnett: +1 |
| 15:24:00 | venka: | jgarnett +1 |
| 15:24:01 | jgarnett: | Q: Should I ask event sponsors to just place the info on their sponsorship page and hope they call us? |
| 15:24:12 | jgarnett: | Q: Should we just do it when they sponsor the event. |
| 15:24:32 | venka: | +1 for emailing to confirm |
| 15:24:55 | jgarnett: | toruble with that ... is we have *so much going on* |
| 15:25:05 | jgarnett: | I am not even aware of the local events happening in europe |
| 15:25:11 | jgarnett: | so I cannot email everyone. |
| 15:25:29 | jgarnett: | I can start with foss4g though, but we will need a more scalable solution. |
| 15:25:31 | venka: | Yes we do. I am getting more confused by the minute with so much happening. |
| 15:26:06 | jgarnett: | still that is it for the sponsorship update, thanks to Michael for running herd on this stuff. |
| 15:26:11 | mdsmithf: | have the event inform their sponsors to email osgeo? |
| 15:26:43 | jgarnett: | Or ask events to send us an email when they get a new sponsor? It should be a perk event can offer. |
| 15:26:59 | mdsmithf: | something like that makes sense |
| 15:27:21 | jgarnett: | (and it is not just events, local chapters, projects also). |
| 15:27:21 | venka: | maybe have a sponsor registry on our new website. |
| 15:27:54 | mdsmithf: | self register and then we approve? |
| 15:28:04 | venka: | yes |
| 15:28:05 | jgarnett: | one final thing, freeart looks like a SEO company, however their email indicates that they use openlayers (the origional request was to sponsor OpenLayers directly by way of thanks). In affect they only accidentally ended up on the osgeo.org website. |
| 15:28:12 | anitagraser: | simplest would be reminder emails to discuss and sponsors have to contact us |
| 15:29:04 | venka: | item 9: UN Committee's proposal for support |
| 15:29:16 | jgarnett: | happy to move on to the next adgenda item, I will make a note to discuss sponsorship with guido in public (by way of example to other events) |
| 15:29:16 | venka: | any update on this. |
| 15:29:30 | maria_: | we are discussing with the local team |
| 15:30:06 | maria_: | they are sending us the budget and we are collecting some ideas about the content of Hackathon |
| 15:30:15 | venka: | OK, do we have to decide anything about this now? |

| 15:30:40 | maria_: | I think that the decision is of the UN Committee |
| 15:30:52 | jj0hns0n: | Hey all, just piping up about the rebranding/website project. Our meeting went really well today, and really excited to get this project moving. Thanks for making it happen! |
| 15:31:32 | maria_: | But i will update the Board as soon as there is something clearer |
| 15:31:45 | venka: | thanks, maria. |
| 15:31:55 | kalxas: | thanks jj0hns0n and marketing com for volunteering to lead this. |

| 15:32:39 | venka: | item 9: MoU between Science and Technology Park, India and OSGeo Foundation |
| 15:32:46 | jgarnett: | one question for jj0hns0n - can you ask getinteractive to trim the empty space out of their "welcome video" :) |
| 15:33:07 | jgarnett: | Do we have draft MoU text? |
| 15:33:07 | helena: | venka can you handle this MoU? |
| 15:33:12 | venka: | I sent a mail regarding STP this morning. |
| 15:33:42 | jgarnett: | Usual story wanting to make sure that the relationship does something for osgeo message (not just a group that is happy to use open source, want them to promote being part of open source). |
| 15:33:48 | venka: | I also sent the draft MoU (Based on the one we have with LH Corp) to board list this morning. |
| 15:34:05 | jgarnett: | thanks venka I will go look |

| 15:49:08 | jgarnett: | email on MOU sent venka |
| 15:50:36 | jgarnett: | Oh about CalGIS Sprint invite, I do not really have any more details, it is a code sprint we can go. Nice to see collaboration as we have shared code sprints with LocationTech in the past. |
| 20:19:52 | CameronShorter: | hi jgarnett |
| 20:19:58 | jgarnett: | hello |
| 20:20:46 | jgarnett: | sorry your changes the the flyer did not get out, indeed my changes did not get included either (for the AAG print). On the bright side we got *something*. |
| 20:21:21 | jgarnett: | How is it going CameronShorter? |
| 20:21:29 | CameronShorter: | ok, I was going to talk with you about what needed changing. |
| 20:21:52 | CameronShorter: | - rather take direction from you to help clean up. |
| 20:23:08 | CameronShorter: | Otherwise, going well. I still hear your name mentioned within OSGeo Australian circles as one of the prominent people. (Was at the Digital Earth Symposium in Sydney last week) |
| 20:24:45 | jgarnett: | yeah I was super sorry I coudl not attend, I got a workshop accepted but then they asked me to pay for catering :P |
| 20:25:13 | CameronShorter: | ah, too bad |
| 20:26:03 | jgarnett: | I am not sure what to do about that kind of barrier for including open source in these events. I understand that they need to cover costs for the facilities. But if catering is required for OSGeo projects to appear professional ... |
| 20:26:18 | jgarnett: | Still I trust you had a good time, how was your breakfast open source meeting? |
| 20:28:00 | jgarnett: | I note we have lisasoft listed on the geosever support providers page; should that be changed? |
| 20:29:12 | CameronShorter: | breafast was good. I caught up with Dirk Fring about OSGeo-Live. Yes, should be changed to “Jirotech” |
| 20:29:23 | CameronShorter: | … for GeoServer support |
| 20:30:02 | CameronShorter: | I need to head off to work now. Thanks for the chat |
