Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Map Asia 2007?
Tyler, quite likely I will be there - I submitted two abstracts for papers that will discuss Open Source-based projects that we are doing at lat/lon. If the papers will be accepted I will mainly talk about deegree, but also in general about Open Source GIS. Unfortunately I have no idea who will give the workshops. cheers, Markus Tyler Mitchell (OSGeo) schrieb: Is anyone already involved with an open source presence at Map Asia this year? I see there is already some mention of open source workshops and was curious who might be leading this. Any ideas?

Is it useful? I've never read the ISO19115 core document, unwilling to pay for it ;) The most copious profile I've read of it is the North American Profile, a common US/Canada draft effort to replace the FGDC standard. http://frot.org/terradue/minimal_metadata.html were some long notes i made at that time. It's overdesigned for many use cases, and doesn't account well for current or near-future online distribution mechanisms. But it has a lot of instituional buy-in, at least in theory. GeoNetwork takes the only sensible approach which is "support many profiles, many protocols, and see what shakes out" (at least that is my impression of it :) ) I have - literally - several five-foot-long scrolls of further commentary on this subject matter, and when they're publishable will start dropping more on the near-empty blog started just to spam the osgeo community about it :) http://metadatamadness.wordpress.com/ cheers, jo ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[OSGeo-Discuss] Open Source Geospatial Foundation Announces Request for Proposal for Hosting 2008 Conference
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation, or OSGeo, today released a request for proposal, or RFP, (available at http://www.osgeo.org/files/webfiles/conference/rfp/osgeo-conference-2008-request-for-proposal.pdf) for the hosting of the FOSS4G 2008 conference. As the excitement for the upcoming FOSS4G 2007 conference in Victoria Canada builds (http://www.foss4g2007.org/), OSGeo aims for the following 2008 conference to be a major geospatial conference during that year.

I can't talk on behalf of them, of course, but as the only one OSGeo website Spanish translator, at this moment, I'm also interested on having the maximum number of documents in my language (and maybe in the future contribute to the main OSGeo journal).

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Advocacy
Henning Lorenz wrote: Hi Arnulf! What a great resource! This is exactly what is needed to allow everyone who is interested in OSGeo to promote its case. I'm grateful for the collection of definitions and concepts because I was asked to give a seminar on FOSS software during a local conference here in Uppsala. Why I, a simple FOSS user was asked? Well, that's related to the "Use cases for FOSS-GIS in universities" thread - there are simply no other people around who use FOSS software in GIS. Cheers, Henning PS: I suggest "consolidate" instead of "bundle" in 1. under Education and long term outreach. Hi, thank you for your reply. I added your suggestion. Next time please feel free to do it yourself, after all it is a Wiki... :-) Hopefully we will be able to continue developing these pages but it seems like everybody is busy with other stuff.
