Jachym,

I think it is better to confirm before attributing statements to
someone.

Nobody in his right mind would want Open data out of OSGeo and least of all Jeff.
Yes, we must find a way to reactivate the Public Geodata committee. Perhaps
renaming it as Open Geodata committee would be a start. We also have a new
"Open Geoscience Committee" [1]  with great work being done in longterm
archiving of FOSS4G videos, for instance.

What I would suggest is to strengthen tie-ups with OSM, HOT and perhaps consider building something like Data4All, emulating the success of out educational outreach,
Geo4All.

Best

Venka

Hi Jachym,

I have given talks on OSGeo and open data.  I am sorry to hear that you
believe I said that about the foundation.  I do believe we've discussed
this in face-to-face board meetings before, so maybe that is where you
heard this?  I remember a discussion of adding open data into our
foundation's mission statement, which I believe we did.

Hi Sanghee,
I was told some months ago (and I believe, it was Jeff), that we
(OSGeo.org) are solely software foundation - therefore we do not care
about open data

maybe things have changed?

     Dear all,

     Can anybody share presentation file about the OSGeo and open data,
     if any? I’m invited to give a keynote talk at ‘Open Data in Action
     Conference’[1] in Korea and I don’t want to make the file from the
     scratch.

     FYI, OSGeo Korea[2], R Korea[3], Open Data Institute(ODI) Seoul[4],
     Open Knowledge(OK) Korea[5] will co-host the event on 15th Nov near
     Seoul. The main theme of the conference is ‘Experiment on Open Data
     based Society.’ Anybody who has similar interest can join this
     conference.

     Kind regards,
     신상희
