Hi Mike,
Thanks for the update. I am still not yet fully
aware about what was discussed at the Boston f2f
or the LocationTech meeting that you attended.
As I said in my email,, it is better to clearly and
officially formulate the partnership between
LocationTech and OSGeo..
My first priority as a President of OSGeo foundation
would be to address the concerns raised by our
charter members as we continue to move forward
with our relationship with LocationTech or other
organizations.

Venka,
This is something we discussed quite a bit at both the Boston F2F and at
the LocationTech meeting that I was invited to attend. It was agreed that
we all wanted to work together on the MoU but to also work closer together
on the process so it reflects interests and concerns on both sides. Norman
Barker will be attending some OSGeo board meetings to continue the
discussions and I will be attending some LocationTech meetings as well. We
need to keep discussing this both at the meetings and on the list to
continue forward with what is already a very good working relationship.
Mike

Hi Marc,
Many thanks to LocationTech for supporting
OSGeo events and code sprints.
As discussed with you at FOSS4G-Europe last month,
we could consider going beyond the "informal" partnership
between LocationTech and OSGeo Foundation and having
a MoU. I think this would help to answer some of the questions
that Helmut has raised and avoid any misunderstandings
in the future.
I had sent you some suggestions on drafting an MoU that you can
go through and perhaps, find time to discuss f2f with OSGeo board
members attending FOSS4G-Boston.

Dear Helmut,
I am also a charter member. And much more in our ever-growing and
evolving community.
LocationTech is a partner of OSGeo, we work on various joint projects,
LocationTech is sponsor of OSGeo code sprints, we work together for many
years on FOSS4G North Amerika. We do valuable complementary work
regarding community and market development.
All this has been achieved over the years incrementally and by the
efforts, care and vision of many directly involved. An achievement, that
by raising a discussion as you propose
Your confusion thus confuses me (besides Chair of the Marketing
Committee, former Board member of OSGeoNL, member of the LOC FOSS4G
2016, Chair of FOSS4G North Amerika and ........ Director Ecosystem
Development Eclipse Foundation with special focus on its Industry
Working Group LocationTech.
Your comments are actually turning back the clock.
If you may remember, in the recent past some very unfortunately
misunderstandings have created a we/them atmosphere. The present FOSS4G
in Boston proves we are as an inclusive community moving forward.
Towards unimaginable opportunities.
Kind regards,
Marc Vloemans

"Note the LocationTech badge is not not showing correctly"
now I am, as an OSGeo charter member, really really confused about
this.
What I'm really missing here is an open discussion and decision making
how we, as an organisation OSGeo, going forward to promote projects
>from other organisations.
What is the added value for OSGeo to promote locationtech projects?
Will locationtech also promote OSGeo projects? Why not promote projects
>from any other org? Who will decide which project or other org will be
promoted?....
Too many open questions without any sound background for me as an
OSGeo charter member.
Kind regards
Helmut
