[OSGeo-Discuss] Open Source GIS Special Session in AGF(Asia GeoSpatial Forum)
Hi all, Open Source GIS special session will be there in AGF(Asia GeoSpatial Forum), since OSGeo is a strategic partner of AGF. AGF(Asia GeoSpatial Forum) will be held at Hanoi, Vietnam from 17th to 19th September. If you have any interest in making presentation there in AGF, please submit your abstract through to pap...@asiageospatialforum.org . I know abstract submission is closed. However still you can apply now. This could be one of alternative to those whom planned to visit to Beijing this year. I hope I could see many OSGeo guys, especially from Asian region, there in Hanoi. OSGeo Live DVD will be handed out there.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G-SEA a sucess
Dear Frans, Prof. Behr is right that we were invited through this mailing list. I was there on the first day of the AGSE 2012 to accompany my colleague presented his research. Too bad that I could not join the FOSS4G-SEA meeting due to business reason. Maybe we can initiate the OSGEO Indonesian Chapter meeting? FYI, the Indonesia Ministry of Research and Technology is currently working to implement and promote the use of open source GIS for the R D agencies in Indonesia. We held three days national workshop earlier this month in Surakarta and it will be followed by regional workshops later this year.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Board Nomination: Jeff McKenna
I would like to nominate Jeff McKenna to the board of OSGeo. As to his qualifications, how much time to do you have? Jeff lives and breathes OSGeo and is one of the most active members of the OSGeo community. He is a friend, resource and gateway to all who have an interest in Open Source (data and software) and OSGeo in particular. Jeff is one of the original charter members (from 2006) and has been on the OSGeo board before (September 2009). Jeff has a passion for OSGeo that is unrivaled by anyone, a big heart, and is considered someone always ready to talk or listen when anyone, anywhere has a OSGeo question, comment or critique. Jeff is very international in his approach to OSGeo and works with and participates with many, many OSGeo chapters worldwide. He has also been an incredible force behind almost all of the international FOSS4G conferences. Jeff would be a humble, strong, active and loud voice for OSGeo. And I'm proud to call him my friend.

[OSGeo-Discuss] OGC's GIS SErver vs non Standard like Mapnik
hi all a little discussion in several area, and i wanna to raise here, esp related to standard, yes Java community now start promo the Adopt a JSR program (means use standard as much as possible, and contribute as much as possible), but in another world, we have SpringFramework, which a tinny part of them become standard called atinject, but the ecosystem in Spring, is hugh, and spring is not standard product. i see this movement also exist in GIS market, we have propietary ( i dont like, but goverment love. esp indonesia.. :) money money).. and we have opensource. in both area there is standard implementation like WFS WMS in MapServer or MapGuide or GeoServer, or non standard like Mapnik but i found Mapnik power the OpenStreetMap, which bring new ecosystem to the GIS Market. yes, i have OpenStreetMap implementation and now focus in integration between OSM to our solution, please stay tune.. using OSMdroid, and leaftlet, we can create GIS solution in good and amazing complete, and our server also quiet stable with Mapnik.. and Kate reimplement OSM in GeoServer here.. in several private chat regarding OGC in mapnik, i think the founder (Dane, CMIIW), do a right way, to protect his work :) like Rod Johnson did with SPring (Spring sold 300m to VMWare near 2009). my opinion here 1. if opensource, and we create community and work well, standard is not priority, because our work can become standard, let see how SHP , it start from the propietary under ArgGIS, CMIIW. 2. standard if the community manager cannot reach globally, become a long tail, how to compete? may be all of you here, can share opinion.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo meet up in Tokyo
Cameron, Thank you very much for the advice. We will contact the LOC and make use of the potential presenters list. I have got just one reply who wanted to attend both Tokyo (SotM) and Beijing (FOSS4G) for now. Anybody want to join the meet up in Tokyo? We, Japan chapter would like to know how many people would join there. Toru On 2012/07/21, at 12:57, Cameron Shorter wrote: Toru Mori, This sounds like a great initiative from Japan. I suggest that you touch base with the Beijing LOC and ask if you can have access to the list of people who have submitted presentations. You can then contact each of them and see if they would like to present at your conference. Also, Would you be interested in having someone present the OSGeo-Live presentation? It provides a comprehensive, high level description of the state of Open Source Geospatial Software. https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/promo/trunk/en/presentation/ (You might wish to translate this into Japanese) On 20/07/12 13:33, Toru Mori (森 亮) wrote: Dear OSGeo folks, Having received the announcement of Beijing conference cancellation, OSGeo Japan Chapter would like to provide a meet up opportunity where OSGeo folks can get together in Tokyo along with State of the Map (SotM) 2012. We can use the same venue as SotM on 10th Sep., just after SotM for free of charge. We already booked 4 small rooms (40 persons) and 1 big room (200 persons). Nothing particular agenda (presentation, workshop, code sprint, sushi party etc) has not been planned so far. We don't have extra budget for it, so we cannot pay travel and accommodation cost. Also we don't have enough human resources as other local chapters do. However, we want to have something international meet up in Far East Asia. All thoughts about the meet up are appreciated. And, we want to meet not only participants of SotM but also who have planned to visit Beijing. We want to know how many people show interest in attending our meet up and please tell us what you want to do there. We will arrange the plan hearing your voice. BTW, OSGeo Japan will hold FOSS4G Tokyo/Osaka 2012 conference in November. This is annual conference for local audience with only few presentations in English from overseas guests that we are expecting to have at the annual meeting in November.
