Introducing OSGeo
OSGeo is a nonprofit organization created to support and build the highestquality Open Source geospatial software.
The foundation provides financial, organizational, and legal support to the broader Open Source geospatial community.
It also serves as an independent legal entity to which community members can contribute code, funding and other resources, secure in the knowledge that their contributions will be maintained for public benefit.
Dor more details see the very good "A not so short introduction to OSGeo" slides at: http://www.osgeo.org/node/764

What's Hot?Spatially Extending jQuery
Mapbender uses jQuery since 2007
First thoughts to extend OpenLayers with jQuery were exchanged at FOSS4G 2009 in Sydney
Mapbender with jQuery deploys OpenLayers
Geo jQuery BoF at the FOSSGIS Conference in Germany
OSGeo Mailing List, Website: http://www.geojquery.org
Geo jQuery BoF at Jornadas SIG Libre New!

The Nature of Software is Immaterial
Software is immaterial! It is not matter & not physical!
As such it can be copied at a very low cost.
This is a phenomenal feature because it multiplies by giving away. This is a foreign concept for a material world.
Software is the only good that only grows by giving it away!
Software is untouchable
The state of OSGeo and the global SDI – Girona 2010 – Arnulf Christl 14/19
The Nature of Software is Immaterial
Software can be copied and transported on
Floppy disk, Hard disk, USB memory sticks
Satellite connection, Wired networks,
Email, FTP, HTTP, SCP, pretty much anything...
… or even printed on paper ...
How can you restrict something that cannot be locked away?
The state of OSGeo and the global SDI – Girona 2010 – Arnulf Christl 15/19
Legal Restriction: By Proprietary Licenses
You are not allowed to copyYou are not allowed to modifyYou are not allowed to give away
You are not allowed to improveYou are not allowed to installYou are not allowed to sahre
You are not allowed to...
The Proprietary Software License Model
The state of OSGeo and the global SDI – Girona 2010 – Arnulf Christl 16/19
Political Restriction: By Embargo
The US Export Restriction are a good thing for:
Biological, Chemical, and Nuclear Weapons, ...
War, Desease, Terrorism, ...
Maybe even Money, … ?
But, as we have just learned:
You cannot prevent Software from spreading anywhere!
It does not Work for Software
The state of OSGeo and the global SDI – Girona 2010 – Arnulf Christl 17/19
OSGeo is Truly Globalized
Therefore OSGeo respects Local Rules and Regulations and Laws
OSGeo is Incorporated in the USA
Therefore OSGeo has an Export Restrictions Regulation
It is good to go as it is, because it does not restrict our daily work and does not hinder collaboration
When it is required, OSGeo will react
At the Moment this is not necessary
The state of OSGeo and the global SDI – Girona 2010 – Arnulf Christl 18/19
Summary
Local Chapters are the most important aspect of OSGeo
The Incubation process is a highly useful and accepted tool to doublecheck, create and maintain quality software
OSGeo Software is recognized as a quality brand
New projects emerge between mature existing OSGeo products and link back to mainstream IT
OSGeo is here to stay!
