Introductions

• Australia• Founded 1994• Integration• End to End– Solutions / Services– Support

• GeoTools• GeoServer• uDig• OSGeo Charter Member– Incubation committee


Did you Read the Title Page?• Creative Commons License!• This is worth getting excited about:

• Not just for books and presentations• Governments around the world pushing to have public

information available– 2008 Decree for Brazil– Chile is working on it– Australia is in process


Open Source GeoSpatial Foundation • Open Source– DOD Memo– OSGeo Japan

• GeoSpatial– Standards

• Foundation– History and Organization


Open Source Geospatial Foundation• Non Profit• Founded in 2006 (not the first attempt!)• Mandate to support and promote open source geospatial• Provides Common Branding

Local Chapters• Local (or Language) Promotion of OSGeo– Presence at Conferences and Workshops– Networking (ie beer)

• Seventeen official local chatpers• Seven more in formation– Brazilian OSGeo Chapter– Aust-NZ Chapter

OSGeoBrasil?


Momentum• steady stream of chatter on Internet Relay Chat #osgeo • Annual “Free and Open Source Software for

Geomatics”(FOSS4G) conference mark's year end• Initial batch of projects allowed the foundation to cut its teeth– Open Source– Open Development

• Additional projects joining now– PostGIS is now accepted into incubation– GeoServer is now accepted into incubation


Department of Defence Memo• October 16 memo clarifying guidance regarding OSS• OSS meets the definition of “commercial computer software”• Market research for software should include OSS• Positive aspects of OSS– Continuous broad peer-review– Ability to modify software .. to respond more rapidly– Operated and maintained by multiple vendors– Mitigate risk of cost growth due to licensing– Sharing maintenance to reduce total cost


And a few Tricky bits• Must ensure that the plan for software support is adequate

(e.g., commercial or Government program office support)• many open source licenses permit the user to modify OSS

for internal use without being obligated to distribute source code to the public

• Release to the public when– It is in the Governments interest to do so– The government has the rights to do so– Release is not restricted by law


Geospatial and Standards• Allow us to work together!• We tend to follow OGC Standards• OGC uses open source “Reference Implementations” and

has a memorandum of understanding
