Hi Stefano, It is hard to add points here that aren't covered by the responses from all of the community leaders speaking here (even just considering everyone's backgrounds who are speaking here is quite fascinating, and a great sign of our passion for FOSS4G). I only want to encourage this

Hi, I share your fears. But on the other hand, the list of sponsors is not closed for this year, I know for sure there are open source companies that are still pending to be shown there. GeoCat for example, being a small SME in comparison, will do the yearly effort to be a key sponsor proving

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G 2018 sponsorship

Folks, We have had this fear in the past. I remember when Autodesk decided to open Mapguide and some of us were furious and upset and worried about our community's influence and decisions. It seems that in the end It was not that important and It does not kill Mapserver. Good and open week.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G 2018 sponsorship

I do not think of it as just an emotive response - some business models do not match our ideals as an organization (requirement to purchase a platform subscription for services, or an API key for data use). While some organizations match our ideals, but I do not like the ethics (dumping software

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G 2018 sponsorship

Indeed GDAL/OGR uses some ESRI code, example: https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/a1df7cb9df2fe3cbcfac974b434b01ac6a1946e5/gdal/frmts/mrf/JPEG_band.cpp#L21 If you don’t want anyone with competing products, it’ll be a short list, and somewhat difficult to justify (e.g. OSGeo has lots of

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G 2018 sponsorship

I did write that in a peculiar way didn’t I. :-) My point was merely, that while one can take a negative stance on corp sponsorship, it can also be seen as a positive kind of attention. The perspective changes a lot depending on a closed or open mindset. I personally find it a good thing, that

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G 2018 sponsorship

dear barry, please help me to better understand your position. If ESRI is "an Open Source company" as you say, if one submits a paper to FOSS4G 2018 about an application made with ArcGIS and some tools they publish in their github repo, will this paper be accepted by editors and reviewers? I

I am not sure we need the endorsement of others to be taken as serious - we are being taken serious because we are serious :) We are also fun, motivated, and out to win. But our “win” includes everyone :) On Sun, Feb 25, 2018 at 11:59 AM Hans Gregers Hedegaard Petersen < greg...@septima.dk>

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G 2018 sponsorship

+1 to Jodys point of view. If you do not want to end up preaching for the choir, then you have to welcome others. I would also like to urge people to consider that “contribution” has many facets. Having big industry sponsor an event or codecamp, could also be seen as labelling our conferences

OSGeo is an advocate for open source and encourage all organizations to contribute. Personally I am happy to see ESRI participating, and have watched their open source game improve with the java geometry library first being released, and perhaps now accepting contributions. There is always work

They've sponsored every FOSS4G Global since about 2010, except for 2015 (South Korea). And why not? They are an Open Source company: http://www.esri.com/software/open/open-source They use a *lot* of open source software, so its good that they give back. It does not earn them any power over the
