I'll buy one. Give me a US address to send it to please.
I need more juice in "innovative methodology for both social and natural 
sciences."

Will you support the Geoinformatics Sciences Field Station in Uganda?
Buy my book and donate it to a University Library, Research Student or a friend 
and you have funded the station.

I preferred to put it on top. On the bottom forces you to scroll if you
want to collapse it again. Ideally it should be inside the post (so
betweent the second and the third paragraph) but to be honest I didn't
wanted to spend more time parsing DOM elements and better work on other
things (like removing all the invalid blogs) U_U

My approach (since this was all pure JS code) was to only parse the first
level of DOM elements. Since images are inside paragraphs and in general
other images where not that bad*, well I thought it was good enough. The
planet is always going to be a bit messy since it's an aggregation of all
types of contents, it's impossible to have a consistent look.

* I can remember for example a graph from one of PaulR posts

Same, we capture the language of the posts when people apply, but the
software itself does not allow any type of filtering. Personally I like to
see posts in all languages because it shows the diversity. And this
approach of collapsing the posts help to go through those you don't
understand quickly, as you'd do in your RSS reader.

Thanks for your feedback Sandro.

It is weird that the "Read more..." link is at the top of
the excerpt rather than below, can it be moved ?

Is it possible to avoid embedded images ? Or the posts
from gvSIG "International call for gvSIG Association
products/services distributors " comes with a huge image.

Last issue I see is the presence of non-english posts,
but I don't think you can do anything for them at the
planet configuration side.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Thank you to all OSGeo: UK chapter volunteers

[Suchith Anand]

Later this week ( 8th to 9th of March 2018) , OSGeo:UK will be bringing 
together all those interested in free and open source geospatial software for 
FOSS4G UK 2018 [1] . I would like to send my thank you to all our amazing 
volunteer colleagues who are working to make FOSS4G:UK 2018 a great success and 
spread openness ideas. Though I am unable to attend FOSS4G UK 2018 (prior 
commitment to CEOS meetings) , I will be there in spirit.


Even the weather is getting better with last few days of snow started clearing 
to welcome FOSS4G in UK :-)


Best wishes,


Suchith
