dear all, I submitted a Public Geodata BOF session to FOSS4G - http://www.foss4g2006.org/ This should be a good chance to talk F2F with a Open Source GIS developers across Europe who have a professional stake in better access to state-collected geodata. I hope others from this list will be making it there - Lausanne, Sept 12-15th.
I'd also be quite interested in doing a BOF at EurOSCON, which will be in Brussels the following week, and will submit one to there. I wonder whether it would be interesting or possible to do a Belgian equivalent of the Open Knowledge Forum on Open Geodata last year: http://www.okfn.org/okforums/geodata/ What's sparked my interest in this is how jaw-dropping i've found the recent emails of Martin Maillet to the EGIP list - a civil servant who decided within his professional bounds to speak out about the over heavy lobby of the UK PSI clique on the European process; I'd be very interested to meet him and invite him as a speaker: particularly http://egip.jrc.it/200608/1812.html "keep up the good work, because we cannot speak freely" ... :/ jo _______________________________________________ geo-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/geo-discuss
