Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Is the integration of FOSS4G and proprietary software good for FOSS4G?
+1 on what Daniel said. Personally, my interest lies on having successful, productive, - *happy* - users. Not on persuading anyone from one philosophy to another one. - Ragi ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] How OSGeo helps you?
It looks like I am getting to this late. Maybe too late to help. Question 1: In what areas/topics/information do we teach to new users or educate the public in general? Basically, what is the 'content' of our education endeavours? Answer: - How to install and use open source geospatial applications. - How to use open source geospatial information to solve real world problems. - How to use open source software to present spatial information to others via digital maps, hard copy maps, web maps, and web applications. - How to use open source software to create and build high-quality spatial data sets that can be used to solve real world problems. - Education effort includes publication of an open content technical journal focused on geospatial technology and hosting of an annual conference. Question 2: How does OSGeo provide a charitable benefit to the public? Don't link it directly back to education, but think about how our features, abilities and products get used to benefit the public. Take it beyond just having free access to software generally, and share in particular the charitable ways it helps the public (charitable as in helps people, the world, etc. not as in just being free). Answer: - Brings together local geospatial experts (mappers and programmers) in local chapters to coordinate the application of computer science and geospatial technology to local and regional problems. - Encourages global coordination on important technology issues, including software licensing, data licensing, free speech, and privacy concerns as they relate to geospatial technology. - Promotes the benefits of the application of open source geospatial software. These benefits include financial savings, improved efficiency, better decision making, and wider access to information for both governments and companies.

Hi all, I'm working on responding to some questions relating to our 501c3 application with US govt and would really like your opinion, stories, examples to make sure I hit the nail on the head. I'd like to describe two aspects of what OSGeo does and how it helps the public. In particular relating to education and to charitable activities. I know how I'd answer, but what about you? 1. In what areas/topics/information do we teach to new users or educate the public in general? Basically, what is the 'content' of our education endeavours? 2. How does OSGeo provide a charitable benefit to the public? Don't link it directly back to education, but think about how our features, abilities and products get used to benefit the public. Take it beyond just having free access to software generally, and share in particular the charitable ways it helps the public (charitable as in helps people, the world, etc. not as in just being free). Yes, somewhat vague questions, but I really want them to know the details about these not just a cursory mention of our workshops and our no-cost software :) I only have a day or two to get my answers together, but a longer thread is also welcomed to help share your perspective.

The Open Source Geospatial Foundation, or OSGeo, today announced that the OSGeo Conference committee has released a request for proposal (http://www.osgeo.org/conference/rfp), or RFP, for the hosting of the 2011 conference. With the excitement growing for the upcoming FOSS4G event in Barcelona in September, and after a successful event in Sydney this past October, OSGeo aims for the 2011 conference to again be *the* geospatial conference of the year. Letters of Intent are due April 9th, and the RFP solicitation closes May 21st, 2010.
