Hi PSC

As agreed in the last PSC meeting, we should proceed with CITE certification by paying for the initial re-certification on 2.27.1 ourselves.

  • There are several thousands ear-marked for this activity.
  • The consensus is to splurge on the initial re-certification and then to only do the free or most recent service versions in subsequent years.
  • OSGeo has not had to pay for any OGC certification costs up until now, so this process is new. Angelos has been tasked with discussing with the standards committee and the board to allocate budget for subsequent years.
  • We will ask OGC to invoice OSGeo; treasurer will then pay out of GeoServer funds.
  • Our understanding is that the OGC fee is an annual (12 months) licensing cost to use their “live logo” and that we can re-certify later in the year.

Hence the motion: to pay $900 from the PSC allocated funds to certifying ALL 12 applicable standards on the most recent 2.27 version (currently 2.27.1)

The previous motion was halted with a -1 for clarifications. Let’s get behind this one.

The motion will be held open until 20 June, please vote in the topic below:

Feedback from Angelos:

There was no final decision about this in the last board meeting but
some initial discussion.
There is an action item for me to reach out to OGC and ask for better
options
