Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Lists in order of support
The foundation is more concerned with promoting and improving the projects; and not so much on judging them :-) I address this to common listers, who choose from the available menu at OSGeo site.. Many may not be code developers but, general users..

The foundation is more concerned with promoting and improving the projects; and not so much on judging them :-) The incubation process does cover couple basics (open source license, some kind of open development model, can the code be distributed etc...). -- Jody Garnett On Tuesday, 13 December 2011 at 12:47 PM, Ravi wrote: We have a good collection of Open GIS Software, thanks to OSGeo. Do we have a comparison, of efficiency of their Lists and Discussion forums. I find GRASS, at the top of quick and clear replies, followed by PostGIS , Qgis. Do we have a mention any where about 'Which Open GIS is where, Say, on a scale of 1 to 10', when it comes to efficiency and time taken for replies. This might help in some introspection.

[OSGeo-Discuss] More on the OSGeo educational webinar idea
Dear OSGeo colleagues, Regarding our proposal to start an OSGeo educational webinar. It occurred to me that some on these lists might not fully understand what we are proposing. First, please check out [1] -- it is a recorded webinar stored on YouTube and example of what we hope to achieve. (This is a webinar put on by Phil Davis' GeoTech center -- Phil is an OSGeo education committee member, and nicely providing the webinar hosting system). Second, I urge knowledgable representatives from OSGeo software projects to consider working with us to schedule an Introduction to your technology webinar. Other webinar ideas are WELCOME. Please add your ideas (and your name, email) to our webinar ideas wiki page [2]. All of these would be recorded and, with permission of the speaker, stored on YouTube and hopefully inventoried in the new educational material repository being hosted by Suchith Anand and his ELOGeo group at the University of Nottingham, UK. See our main OSGeo education page [3]. I do hope some on these lists will step up and help us move this idea forward. This is a great marketing opportunity, especially knowing we can store these on YouTube and in our online searchable database.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Directions Magazine's predictions
Phillip Davis pointed out in the edu list interesting predictions on a Directions Magazine's podcast: http://www.directionsmag.com/podcasts/podcast-predictions-for-the-geospatial-marketplace-2012/219405 A couple specifically about OSGeo: - OpenGeo will carry the torch (not OSGeo) - OSGeo will get its act together We'll see... I think these predictions reflect how the role of OSGeo is seen differently by different people. Clearly some people have been expecting more while some see a success. I think more the latter.
