A non-technical talk in regards to the structure of OSGeo, it's members, local chapters, and financing.
The work of OSGeo:UK, the prospect of OSGeo Europe, and our plans for FOSS4G 2027 in Bristol.
The impact of Gen AI for OSGeo and Open Source licences.
I would like to present my view on the current structure of OSGeo, it's local chapters, and planned advancements in regards to our financing crisis.
The idea of an OSGeo Europe entity is appealing with funding available through the European Union Horizon programme.
I would like to present the work we are doing at OSGeo:UK in regards to membership, partnerships, and our plans for FOSS4G 2027 in Bristol.
We would like to highlight the need for better cooperation with organisational partners and event sponsors. Of particular interest is the cooperation with multinational organisations who are not considered as spatial but depend on geographical information, processes, and software.
We will also discuss the advent of Gen AI and the impact on Open Source licences.
