[OSGeo-Discuss] Yikes, we have the fifth OSGeo Anniversary TOMORROW!
Folks, I added another agenda item which I believe is really important. Thanks for Tyler and Jorge to remind us! We have an anniversary tomorrow. Five years ago OSGeo was born in it's current incarnation. Since then we have served the vision of promoting and supporting Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial. We should at least have a birthday cake on our website and wiki, ten blog articles, a news item and a few dozen tweets. Hopefully we can all throw in a few cents to make this an event. OSGeo deserves it. Join the party? Local Chaps, this is a great opportunity to have a news item and maybe some thoughts of your own role in your local chapter lists and web sites too. Best regards, Arnulf PS: Sorry for almost forgetting this but I would forget my own birthday if folks wouldn't remind me to have a party each year. So we should make this a recurring event. -- Exploring Space, Time and Mind http://arnulf.us ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

The idea is to gather as much OSGeo related images (from FOSS4G and more) and create a (really) big metapixel image from the OSGeo banner and release it using OpenLayers to navigate to it. That is to say: you see when you enter the OSGeo logo and lemma and when you zoom in you can see the community in many different photographs [2] https://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/schani/metapixel/ Very cool idea. I also wonder about seeing how many personal videos people might be able to post telling us something fun or interesting. Lots more ideas out there... let's hear them! :) ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
