Dear Everyone,

Please pardon me for those who already know this news.

I participate quite a bit and have supported OSGeo

the early days (FWIW, I am a charter member since
2008), and it
seems appropriate to share this here as well.

If you please, it is my wish you call me Andrea


from now on. Thank you.

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. :-)

Kind regards,

Andrea

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Renaming FOSS4G

+1 on the less is more and on renaming.

Marketing is about establishing a brand (among other things).

It is clear who owns the OSGeo brand.

Who owns the FOSS4G brand belong to?

what is the added value of supporting this brand? and potentially
diluting or confusing the OSGeo brand?

Many brands have tag lines. Maybe adding a tag line would add to OSGeo
whatever people feel FOSS4G has that OSGeo does not.

OSGeo - Bringing free open source geospatial software to the world!

Or whatever is appropriate.

+1 for "OSGeo conference".

Adding a perspective from someone who marketed FOSS4G 2009.
Creating a marketing message is all about minimising words used, 
because

"less words get read more".

When explaining FOSS4G to people outside our community you need to 
use:


"international conference for Free and Open Source Software for
GeoSpatial (FOSS4G), presented by the Open Source Geospatial 
Foundation

(OSGeo)."

vs

"international Open Source Geospatial (OSGeo) conference"

This is a good question to put to the charter members for a vote at 
some

point.

Yes, you and I and everyone *on this mailing list* knows
the difference and the relationship between OSGeo and FOSS4G. But
there are people out there in geospatial who don't know either.

Emphatic +1

Hello,

I like the name FOSS4G and would perfer to keep it.

Why?

- same name is sometimes confusing. We have the german language local 
chapter FOSSGIS e.V. and annual german language FOSSGIS conference 
hosted by FOSSGIS e.V., OSM Community and OSGeo. Sometimes it is not 
clear what you are talking about - the local chapter or the conference.


http://fossgis.de
http://www.fossgis-konferenz.de/2015/

- I liked jeffs Mail (Tue Oct 6 12:30:53 
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2015-October/015035.html) with 
the description how a FOSS4G should work. How OSGeo should be present 
during the conference with talks and a booth and so on. So in the end 
people will leave the conference and will know about OSGeo and FOSS4G


- FOSS4G is already a well known name. I would prefer to always add: 
FOSS4G Conference hosted by OSGeo
