Hi all, >From a unfortunately long time not attending to hackfests participant I am also in favour to reduce to once a year - and the idea of combining it with user meetings is nice as well. The Licence "issue" - to be honest they would use it anyway .. but as a message it would be ok (but that would reduce "opensource" to just "source" too for me).
Personally I see train tickets a lot more expensive than flight tickets and I think that should change - otherwise I would prefer a train journey anyway. Hope to see you all again sometime. regards Werner On Thu, Jan 16, 2020 at 12:56 PM Tim Sutton <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi > > On 16 Jan 2020, at 11:52, Alessandro Pasotti <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi Paolo, > > thank you for bringing this on. > > Here is my very personal opinion: > > On Thu, Jan 16, 2020 at 12:20 PM Paolo Cavallini <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Hi all, >> following the interesting proposal by Andreas, I'm here starting a >> discussion about QGIS.ORG <http://qgis.org/> environmental policy: >> >> * do we need an explicit environmental policy? >> > > yes > > * probably our greatest impact is travel for Developers Meetings >> * do we need in person general meetings, or we can promote more >> extensive and structured use of remote connections? >> > > we do need in person meetings > > * if we need it, do we need two meetings per year? >> > > ideally, yes > > * do we want to plan our meetings in an optimal location, to minimize >> total travel? >> > > yes > > * do we want a combination between the two: smaller local meetings >> that reduce travel, coordinated across the globe? >> > > no > > * do we want to suggest|gently push|require participants to use low >> impact transportation? >> > > gently push > > * do we want a cap on cost and time difference between transportation >> method? e.g. train is to be used when cost or duration are no more than >> x times flight cost or duration >> > > no > > >> * do we want to engage in proactive environmental actions? e.g. donating >> to the environmental agencies|NGOs|etc. specific tools to evaluate and >> reduce impact? e.g. a QGIS ad hoc grant with a specific budget for it >> > > not sure > > * do we want additional actions? e.g. low impact (vegan) diet on Dev >> Meetings? >> > > maybe vegetarian > > > +1 from me for everything above (besides wondering if we could meet once a > year). > > > > I know it's just a dream and it won't go anywhere but I would add an item > to the list: prohibit the use of QGIS to the fossil-fuels industry. > It would be a strong message btw. > > > Interesting idea!
