@Helmut et all, Thanks for another opportunity to give the community more insights in what LocationTech (the Eclipse Industry Working Group for spatially aware software) entails and how it relates to OSGeo!
We help co-develop and co-promote OSGeo projects in general (including GPL-projects!) through - sponsoring codesprints (e.g. Here in Boston tomorrow) and - co-organising events (e.g. codesprints and Foss4g North Amerika) Kind regards, Marc Vloemans > Op 18 aug. 2017 om 12:53 heeft Marc Vloemans <marcvloema...@gmail.com> het > volgende geschreven: > > Dear Sandro, > > We (Eclipse Foundation -LocationTech) are 'not against it' !
