[OSGeo-Discuss] FORMhub

2015-10-09 Thread Ravi Kumar 
Hi,
formhub (https://formhub.org) is of great utility working together with
ODKcollect (an Android apk).

Sadly Formhub now displays a N O T I C E.. that it is not being maintained
(Columbia university)..

There are alternatives like Google cloud, but are rather complicated in
many a way.

GEO for all initiative needs websites like FORmhub, where in forms can
easily be designed and collated with Geospatial data on various subjects
like, Health, Urban Sanitation etc.

CROWD sourcing awaits a favorable response.

Cheers
Ravi Kumar

Well done Andrea taking this important step, I'm really pleased you're now
living as you're supposed to be, it must be a huge relief.  You're an
inspiration to others in a similar situation - and the main thing: keep up
all the good work in Geo!

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo is becoming irrelevant. Here's why. Let's fix it.

Note that from the README of gitlab community edition you can read:

- GitLab Enterprise Edition (EE) includes [extra
  features](https://about.gitlab.com/features/#compare) that are more
  useful for organizations with more than 100 users. To use EE and get
  official support please [become a 
subscriber](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/).

I'd rather avoid to use a software that's intentionally limited in its
free software version. We still want all OSGeo users (how much users
exist by now?) able to file tickets...

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Open GIS! Conference, Moscow, Russia, Nov 21-22

Hi Maxim,

Thank you for sharing this news on Open GIS 2015 in Moscow.  I remember 
the event in 2012, and I am very happy to hear of the great plans for 
this year's event.  Victor of course is a wonderful representative.


By the way, please submit this event as a news item (see steps at 
http://www.osgeo.org/events/submit_events) so it appears on osgeo.org


Thanks again,

Hi all,

We're excited  to  announce  that  we're running Open GIS'2015 this
November 21-22 (Sunday, Saturday) in Moscow, Russia  (45 days left)

First  Open  GIS  conference  happened  in  2012  and brought together
diverse crowd of 250 people from  150  organizations. We had about 50
presentations  and 12 workshops. This year we expect at least the same
numbers  or  more. We  hope  this will be a very positive, diverse and
active event.

This  conference  is  grassroots  and  organized by members of Russian
GIS-Lab  and  OpenStreetMap communities (think FOSSGIS, but completely
informal). Attendance and workshops are free.

Though  this is a national event, English-speaking presenters are very
welcome.   We   already   have  few  presentations  and workshops from
people  from  abroad (for example from Victor Olaya). We can guarantee
lots  of  attention  and  challenging  questions. If  you're with a
company this might be a major 'undeveloped market' for your products.

Please  let me know if you'd like to come. You will most probably will
require  a  visa,  but  there  is  plenty  of  time  to  get one. Your
participation   is   critical  for  building  stronger  ties  between
technically  apt,  but  isolated  user  community  here  and
outside open source geospatial world.

We're  also  looking  for  sponsors,  primarily  to  cover  travel for
international visitors and may be students.

Hope to see you in Moscow.

Maxim Dubinin

Hey Andrea, that was a great read, thanks for being yourself !

A fun thing is that "Andrea" in Italy is a male name (translation of
Andrew) so it wasn't very clear from the subject what you were after).

It's good to see female population growing in this community, btw :)

Thanks for your email Sandro. Yeah, I recognize that for a few parts of 
the world, Andrea is more typically a male name. Of course for quite a 
few it's typically a female name. I guess that's kind of a fitting name 
for me then. :-)
