Project Steering Committee

During the Second GeoNetwork Workshop in April 2006, held in Rome - Italy, an advisory board, or hereafter the Project Steering Committee (PSC) was established. The PSC meets on a yearly basis to discuss the requirements of the participating agencies and to define a work plan for the following year. The meeting is open to all members & interested parties of the GeoNetwork opensource Community. Working group sessions are organized to gather project requirements and to come up with a work plan. The workshop will also provide technical sessions around the GeoNetwork opensource software and where possible around related software.

The day to day management of the project is left to the chair of the PSC. The chair is charged with the day to day management of the project. He will seek consensus within the developer and user community and is responsible for the implementation of the work plan.

A goal set out by the PSC is to make the community building process and inclusive, consensus based effort. The PSC agreed to have the project go through the incubation process of the OSGeo Foundation to establish it as a full OSGeo project.
