[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo rep at FOSS4G-Europe 2014?
Hi Jeff and all, you've raised an important point, let me ask this for FOSS4G-Europe, too. Being part of OSGeo's own conference series, FOSS4G, this conference represents an important contribution in the worldwide network of FOSS4Gs. Further, FOSS4G-E will host the NASA Worldwind Europe Challenge student contest winners, and we are working on co-locating a Big Earth Data conference in addition. The organizing team is most eager to welcome (and present, of course) OSGeo representatives. I'll be glad to enter into conversation to arrange all. cheers, Peter -- Dr. Peter Baumann - Professor of Computer Science, Jacobs University Bremen www.faculty.jacobs-university.de/pbaumann mail: p.baum...@jacobs-university.de tel: +49-421-200-3178, fax: +49-421-200-493178 - Executive Director, rasdaman GmbH Bremen (HRB 26793) www.rasdaman.com, mail: baum...@rasdaman.com tel: 0800-rasdaman, fax: 0800-rasdafax, mobile: +49-173-5837882 Si forte in alienas manus oberraverit hec peregrina epistola incertis ventis dimissa, sed Deo commendata, precamur ut ei reddatur cui soli destinata, nec preripiat quisquam non sibi parata.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo rep at FOSS4G-Europe 2014?
Interesting to see that according to this mail FOSS4G-Europe is now being part of OSGeo's own conference series, FOSS4G. Is that also true for FOSS4G-NA, or others? Seriously, I would advise the OSGEO Board to spend some quality time in upcoming meetings to determine a strategy on OSGeo's own conference series. At the moment it seems the 'brand' is slipping away from OSGEO's grip. Maybe we/you do not see this as a problem, or think it is inevitable or even desirable, but it would be good if at least it was a conscious decision in some way... yours, Barend Köbben OSGEO Charter Member On 18-12-13 09:48, Peter Baumann p.baum...@jacobs-university.de wrote: Hi Jeff and all, you've raised an important point, let me ask this for FOSS4G-Europe, too.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo rep at FOSS4G-Europe 2014?
Hi Barend, a valid question indeed, and I second that OSGeo is the authoritative place for the FOSS4G branding. This is why I had phrased it that way, clearly accepting that we are acting by mandate of OSGeo, and not on our own. We are mere facilitators. As per quality control, we are in continuous contact with the OSGeo Board, and it is involved in all decisions and progress. Our planning is visible (not only) to them. Of course I understand that such a high level of involvement may be quite some burden if implemented on all FOSS4G-*, that might raise an issue indeed. So, bottom line: a nice opportunity to discuss and establish a common policy. We'll be glad to bring in our humble experience, together with all the other FOSS4G-* organizers now and in the past. cheers, Peter On 12/18/2013 10:01 AM, b.j.kob...@utwente.nl wrote: Interesting to see that according to this mail FOSS4G-Europe is now being part of OSGeo's own conference series, FOSS4G.

Hi Peter, I agree that FOSS4G-E is very important. The spread of FOSS4G events around the world is amazing, we have an unbelievable community. I've been following the progress of FOSS4G-E closely. I was also lucky to have attended the previous FOSS4G-CEE event in Bucharest, and meet you there in person. I have FOSS4G-E in my calendar, and would be honored to represent OSGeo there. I realize how important it is to provide a common face to the organization, and give a few words on the importance of the community and FOSS4G. -jeff On 2013-12-18 4:48 AM, Peter Baumann wrote: Hi Jeff and all, you've raised an important point, let me ask this for FOSS4G-Europe, too.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Board] OSGeo rep at FOSS4G-Europe 2014?
Hi Barend, Terms for the use of term FOSS4G has been quite widely debated (I think on the conference email list), and rough consensus was that the term FOSS4G can be used for any event which is primarily about Free and Open Source Software for GeoSpatial. A draft is now in the FOSS4G Cookbook: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_Handbook#FOSS4G_Brand Which references: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G#Using_the_Name_FOSS4G On 18/12/2013 8:01 PM, b.j.kob...@utwente.nl wrote: Interesting to see that according to this mail FOSS4G-Europe is now being part of OSGeo's own conference series, FOSS4G.

I agree with Barend OSGeo really should consider some policy on the usage of the FOSS4G brand (even if this means getting approval from Venka).
