Thanks Vicky.

Sorry if I was not clear - I do not want to promise a recording (because
nobody attending has volunteered to record). If anyone has recording
equipment there would be a number of people interested, or if we did
recorded hangout etc...

That is tricky, it was a request by the GeoForAll team that the training
session be recorded. While this is a reasonable request - we need a
volunteer with record equipment to actually do the recording.

 Thanks to key sponsors GeoCat and Boundless for financial support.

 The exciting news is the beta website is taking shape day by day at
 osgeo.getinteractive.nl

 Content migration has been delayed,thanks to Frank Warmerdam for
 stepping in top provide Get Interactive access to our drupal server.

 LDAP login using "osgeo id" is not avaialble, for new content we have
 a number of forms:

- Software Projects  - we
invite project teams to fill in this google form with project details,
screen snaps and a team photo if you have it. If you have previously
written an OSGeo Live overview this will take five minutes (most of 
 which
is finding a good team photo). We ask that you discuss which service
providers (companies, organizations or individuals) should be listed as
core contributors for your project.
- GeoForAll Labs  - the
GeoForAll project already has a jump on collecting lab locations and
details. Check the GeoForAll list for details and coordination.
- Service Providers  - we
invite companies, organizations and individuals working in our 
 community to
connect with website visitors
- Resources  - our
community produces a wide range of material we would like to promote on 
 the
website. If you have any appropriate presentations, workshops, 
 tutorials,
white papers or videos please share.

 FOSS4G Europe marked our first chance to try out the new OSGeo
 branding. Thanks to Marc Vloemans for coordinating our debut at the OSGeo
 booth. The best part was the code-sprint where we had several teams
 working. Nicolas Roelandt and Jody Garnett worked on the content collection
 forms above. Astrid, Luca, Venka and more focused on reviewing printed
 material and coming up with a list of changes and corrections.

 Special thanks for Luca for joining the marketing team in July, helping
 communicate feedback on the printed materials and prototyping changes. Luca
 has worked hard to make an SVG template for teams wanting to produce an
 information sheet for Boston.

 If you are attending FOSS4G in person please sign up on the OSGeo Wiki
  for
 website training. We ask that projects and committees take part in this
 important activity.

[OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G 2017 Code Sprint Head count

2017-07-31 Thread Regina Obe
If you are planning to attend the FOSS4G 2017 Code Sprint in Boston on
Saturday August 19th, 2017, please add your name to the list:

https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2017_Code_Sprint#Registered_Attendees

Note: Attending the conference is not required to attend to Code sprint.

If you are unable to edit the wiki, either create an account (and I'll try
to be quick to approve), or send me an email with your name, email, and
project you are interested in and I'll add you to the list.

We'd like to get a reasonable head-count so we can start making catering
decisions by end this week.

If you'd like to stay informed about the conference and code sprint, signup
for the FOSS4G2017 mailing list:

Excellent updates . Thanks Silvana , Antoni , Sergio , Lara , Carolina and

for expanding Openness in Science and Education.

Best wishes,

Subject: [geoforall-ab] New GeoForAll Regional Group for Iberoamerica
(English below)

Nos es muy grato anunciar la creación del Grupo GeoForAll Iberoamérica 
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GeoForAll_Iberoam%C3%A9rica. El mismo surge de la 
fusión del Grupo Regional para Sudamérica y el Grupo Temático para 
Hispanohablantes de GeoForAll.

Los coordinadores de este nuevo grupo son Silvana Camboim (Brasil), Antoni 
Pérez Navarro (España) y Sergio Acosta y Lara (Uruguay)​ los que son ahora los 
referentes de contacto para cualquier laboratorio de Latinoamérica y el Caribe, 
España y Portugal, que quiera sumarse a la iniciativa.

La lista de correo 
(geoforall-iberoamer...@lists.osgeo.org;
 http://lists.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geoforall-iberoamerica) será 
el medio de contacto inicial para todo nuevo miembro. Todos los miembros de la 
región iberoamericana pueden usar la lista para colaborar en la construcción de 
propuestas en temas concretos o específicos, así como sugerir ideas a 
desarrollar. Servirá también para difundir posibles oportunidades regionales de 
financiamiento, eventos locales o regionales FOSS4G, etc.

Nuestros objetivos son:

  *   hacer que la educación y las oportunidades geoespaciales sean accesibles 
a todas y todos.

  *   crear ​oportunidades de investigación y enseñanza en ciencia geoespacial 
abierta

  *   construir una infraestructura global y abierta para la enseñanza y la 
investigación

  *   establecer colaboraciones entre la academia, ​el gobierno y la industria 
en torno a la ciencia y la educación geoespacial abierta
Una de las primeras iniciativas del grupo es la de contar con una serie de 
seminarios en línea (webinars) tanto en español como en portugués, teniendo 
previsto realizar el primero de ellos ("Geomática libre para gestión municipal. 
La suite gvSIG y casos de uso"​) a mediados de setiembre.

Los invitamos a sumarse a esta iniciativa poniéndose en contacto con cualquiera 
de los coordinadores o directamente a través de la lista de correo. Sean todas 
y todos bienvenidos​.

We are very pleased to announce the new GeoForAll Regional Group for 
Iberoamerica http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GeoForAll_Iberoam%C3%A9rica. This is 
due to the merger of the Regional Group for South America and the GeoForAll 
Spanish-Speaking Group.

The chairs of this new group are Silvana Camboim (Brazil), Antoni Pérez Navarro 
(Spain) and Sergio Acosta and Lara (Uruguay) and are now the contact points for 
any new labs to be established in Latin America & the Caribbean, Spain and 
Portugal.

The list becomes the first point of contact for the new members. All regional 
members in the group can use the list for collaborating on regional funding 
calls, FOSS4G local conferences etc.​

Our goals are:

  *   to make education and geospatial opportunities accessible to all.

  *   to create research and teaching opportunities in open geospatial science

  *   to build global open access teaching and research infrastructure

  *   to establish collaborations between academia, government and industry 
around open geospatial science and education
One of the first activities of the group will be to start a series of webinars 
in both Spanish and Portuguese, the first of them ("Free Geomatics for 
Municipal Management; the gvSIG suite, use cases ") to be hold by mid-September.

We invite you to join this initiative by contacting any of the chairs or 
directly through the mailing list. You are all welcome.
