I am glad this thread is encouraging communication. As stated at the start I would like to do a better job of communication on this one. I guess I can start by saying the two organizations have a much stronger relationship than a Memorandum of Understanding. A MoU is often the first stage of a formal contract, in this case the formal relationship has been realized.
See http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_Meeting_2012-10-11 The result of this is that OSGeo is a member of LocationTech (see the list of members here <https://www.locationtech.org/members>). And has provided a representative to the steering committee meetings and speak on behalf of OSGeo. (Is this kind of background useful - I feel I am being painfully obvious/annoying on this one) -- Jody Garnett On 12 November 2015 at 11:01, Jody Garnett <[email protected]> wrote: > I have not done the best at communicating lately, here is a write up from > a fun event held last month in victoria - > http://www.how2map.com/2015/10/locationtech-tour-2015.html > > A really positive mix of OSGeo and LocationTech projects.
