Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Use cases and requirements for web maps

Yeah it is an interesting one, wondered if they were going to use that as an excuse to substitute in whatever maps the platform (android and iOS) had on hand in the hopes of reducing mobile bandwidth and taking advantage of offline storage... -- Jody Garnett On 28 September 2015 at 04:06, Jo

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Question(s) for board candidates

Very good points. I am ccing Geo4All colleagues as we will follow up this. It is great to hear that Boundless has an intern working on material for Geo4All . This kind of closer collaboration and synergies is what we want to build upon. One of things we want to make sure more students are

Dear Gert-Jan, For sure we will check this year with all the charter members that did note vote. Checking with all of them it's really no easy task. It took me many many hours in the last two days just to send messages to almost 100 people (most of them on other channels than the e-mail used

When people ask me how should they start on the GIS world, I always give them two advices: * Check OsGeo. * Read the Libro Libre de SIG Libre[1] (only Spanish, translations accepted) If OsGeo disappeared, someone should invent it. Which doesn't mean it is the only way to achieve the same

Hi all, I am a fairly new charter member, so maybe the two following comments here will be irrelevant. From my perspective, having Orfeo ToolBox as an incubating project definitively helped us to move in the right direction. I am not saying that it would not have occured without OSGeo, but

Hi all, Just wanted to give my opinion on using a external service as source code repository, I think there is no problem using github because: - Source Code is protected by the license, - If github service stops to address the project needs then port it to other repository. I remember

[OSGeo-Discuss] Use cases and requirements for web maps

Hi All, I just wanted to draw your attention to this, from W3C if you have not already seen it. I don't have the technical know-how to see if there are any negative implications but there are opportunities to comment. https://www.w3.org/community/maps4html/

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Vote for OSGeo Board of Directors elections 2015 extended

Hi Jorge, I know that was not necessary to go that far. For sure I would not expect the same from the next CRO. Anyway, I felt that it's necessary to clarify the status of some of our members. It's clear that some of the old members don't have enough time these days for OSGeo. Also, we have

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Use cases and requirements for web maps

Cameron, Thanks! Yes, we do currently have a joint working group with W3C for “Spatial Data on the Web” and that group has been keeping tabs on the activity of this community in W3C. Interestingly, I think that Jo’s e-mail has rekindled some of the interest (certainly has for me!). Best

For next years Charter member elections I would suggest to check in advance with the existing Charter members whether they plan to stay in their position, and if their contact info as registered with OSGeo is still valid. Regards, GJ Vasile Craciunescu schreef:
