Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Welcoming all proprietary GIS labs to migrate to Open Principles in GeoEducation

[Suchith Anand]

We are the OSGeo's GeoForAll initiative and have our own domain name , identity 
and principles.  We have our own newsletters, website , logo and identity . 
That should be the clear distinction  from  any others newsletters or any other 
initiatives. The FOSS4G Nottingham also had GeoForAll as our motto 
http://2013.foss4g.org

Best wishes,

Fyi,
There's a "geo for all" newsletter since ages... But is not for open source 
only ;-)

Hi Suchith,


I suggest it would be worth making clear geoforall principles for joining 
geoforall [1], which includes promoting Open Source GIS Software. (I could 
envisage a proprietary vendor claiming compliance with "promoting Geospatial 
for All", by promoting their proprietary product, or promoting an open source 
extension to their proprietary product.)

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Welcoming all proprietary GIS labs to migrate to Open Principles in GeoEducation

[Suchith Anand]

Good point Cameron. Everyone joining GeoForAll should be promoting geoforall 
principles at http://www.geoforall.org/how_to_join

We are inclusive and welcome everyone to migrate to Open Principles in 
GeoEducation. Anyone claiming promoting their proprietary product, or promoting 
an open source extension to their proprietary product as "promoting Geospatial 
for All" is not acceptable. But anyone who wants to migrate their properitery 
lab to open principles in geoeducation are welcome

Best wishes,

Suchith

Sure Sandro, in today's meeting we decided to use the osgeo github to
capture feedback and suggestions for the beta website.

Most of the feedback is very short term, trying to get the wordpress
templates ready for the training session at foss4g.

I have added your feedback here: https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/issues/8

[OSGeo-Discuss] Welcoming all proprietary GIS labs to migrate to Open Principles in GeoEducation

[Suchith Anand]

Dear colleagues,

I had a query recently on if a university lab backed by some proprietary GIS 
vendors can start moving to open principles in Geoeducation[1]  . I replied 
that very definitely .In fact many of our GeoForAll university labs (even just 
few years back!) were using proprietary GIS software ONLY before they switched 
to Open principles to ensure open innovation . All universities are welcome to 
start downloading all OSGeo software and install in your lab machines as you 
wish. You don't need any ones permission to install OSGeo software and teach 
your students . It is good to show students both proprietary and open 
solutions, so they start appreciating the importance of open solutions for 
innovation.  It will also help build open minds for students and contribute to 
open knowledge. We also welcome all academics and educators to give away OSGeo 
live DVDs [2] to your students. Freedom is a fundamental right.

We look forward to help this  migration of former properitery GIS only labs to 
move to Open Principles in Geospatial Science education. Thanks to all OSGeo 
volunteers who helped make tools like QGIS  available free to all schools 
worldwide forever.

Best wishes,

Speaking of which, it would be nice to add some free places in the
"find us" section at the bottom-right corner of those pages, right
now listing facebook, linkedin and twitter accounts.

How about adding a link to the Matrix room #osgeo:matrix.org for
a start ? http://matrix.to/#/#osgeo:matrix.org

Even better to also have presence on one node in the so-called
"fediverse" (Mastodon, GNUSocial, Diaspora and friends...) but
that requires more than just a link...
