Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Regional Conference with a significant OSGeo footprint.

2017-10-24 Thread Jody Garnett 
That is great Dirk.

One thing that always gets me in the AGM meeting is how little I know about
what is going on in our organization.  If you have any ideas about making
 local chapters activities more visible to our community it would be
appreciated.

Hopefully listing events local chapters are attending on the website can
help help in a small way, and email threads like this one.

Hey Bob,

Please contact me directly (no need to burden the list with noise). I can give 
some pointers, which at the same time will be the start of a checklist for 
future reference for other events. To be published in the Marketing wiki and 
announced on this list (better signal to noise ratio)

Kind regards,
Marc Vloemans

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Regional Conference with a significant OSGeo footprint.

2017-10-24 Thread Dirk Frigne 
Jody,

This is exactly what we are doing with OSGeo.BE.
Last edition (Mar 2017) we attended BeGeo[1], an event where more than
1000 GIS experts attend.
In 2018 the event will be even attract more people.  We want to have a
booth there, and are also organising one of the 9 parallel tracks [2]:

I suggested as the title of the track: How open collaboration can help
geospatial intelligence to the next level?

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Regional Conference with a significant OSGeo footprint.

2017-10-24 Thread Jody Garnett 
I think it would be great of we promote events that OSGeo is attending in
an official capacity (like if a local chapter has a booth or something).
Guido has set up a number of guest appearances for OSGeo (mostly partner
events) in 2017 and we could of promoted our attendance a bit more.

Getting OSGeo present at more "normal" GIS events would be a great outreach
goal for 2018.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Regional Conference with a significant OSGeo footprint.

2017-10-24 Thread Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul) 
All,

Related to chanpter meetings (somewhat), we have a Regional Geo-event coming 
together for this coming May.  It will have a fairly high OSGeo footprint as 
well.

The last event two years ago, pulled in 250 attendees, shooting for 300-350 
this time around.  What’s the best way to promote this type of (somewhat 
fractional) OSGeo event in the OSGeo universe?  We’ll have 15-20% OSGeo based 
presentations.

Some of this could be left up to the poster too, with dropdown/checklists in 
the form for the desired publication endpoints.  I still think there may need 
to be a vetting piece in front of the actual publishing though.  But since all 
info of this type could conceivably be funneled through this new Event form, 
then the vetting process could be automated to a fairly high degree, and it 
could be set up to work with multiple individuals with the vetting authority,
