Turn that frown upside down, and use the GIS Day as an excuse to get out into your community and share your passion for geography/FOSS4G that day. I did see several negative tweets yesterday questioning the purpose of the day - use the day for your own purpose. Instead of that negativity, channel positive FOSS4G vibes on the day to your local community. Get out to your local college/university/highschool and show them that FOSS4G is fun.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Just to make sure that the honor goes to who deserve it, the idea originated somewhere between https://twitter.com/spara and https://twitter.com/sgillies and probably many more, /me just did a dumb retweet no more. It is all about marketing. Did you know that Americans originally had a light breakfast and even tended to work before eating? So when did the full scale eggs and bacon combo become commonplace and why? from http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071022105235AAjgON2: (...) The meal was popularized in the United States by Edward Bernays during the 1920s and 1930s. In order to promote sales of bacon, he conducted a survey of physicians and reported their recommendation that people eat hearty breakfasts. He sent the results of the survey to 5,000 physicians, along with publicity touting bacon and eggs as a hearty breakfast. --- ...and saved the business' neck. Plus he ruined a whole populations' health, but that is another story. In his letter to the physicians Edward actually suggested that a hearty breakfast be good and also mentioned that bacon be part of it. Up to then nobody thought that bacon in the morning made any sense (and it is kind of gross, is it not?). From a business perspective it was a great idea which and saved the companie's neck trying to sell bacon. As a side-effect(!) nowadays the whole world believes that ham and eggs and baked beans and 16 thousand calories is how a good American starts the day. So what campaign would you run to make OSGeo Software the new light breakfast of choice? (One week drunken GIS fiesta is not an option, although it would have a charm...).

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Are there opportunities to collaborate in the GIS Portal market?
2012/11/15 Cameron Shorter cameron.shor...@gmail.com Marco, Our selection criteria for OSGeo-Live projects, and email form for application are linked from here: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#How_to_add_a_project_to_OSGeoLive Thank you Cameron. I will analyse the criteria and look forward to make possible to MapIgniter to integrate the OSGeoLive. I think it would be a great benefit for both projects :) With regards to my question about openness for collaboration: It usually goes without saying that most Open Source projects welcome new developers to collaborate on development. The more difficult question is whether one or more projects are prepared to change their design such that they can integrate together.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Live-demo] Are there opportunities to collaborate in the GIS Portal market?
I'll modify/add to that list: localwiki is not a a GeoPortal it's a place based wiki, quite different from the others (It's not meant to catalog data sets, it's meant to catalog the real world with geotags/geofences). Example: https://scruzwiki.org/ Geodjango is a framework for creating such sites and really doesn't need to be installed separate as the python lib can be shared by all sites on the system: localwiki is built on GeoDjango (I can't recall if Geonode is Geodjango or just django). .. So it's more like a Library. More geoportals: OpenGeoPortal http://opengeoportal.org/ Lead contacts are at Tufts Univ. Eoxserver http://eoxserver.org/ Contact: Stephan Meissl Note on Geonode, it has a 3 member PSC - 1 member is from OpenGeo (originator and heavy contributor) I can ask on the mailing list who wants to be the contact. Commentary: There seem to be a few groupings(Several cross, but I'm not sure any are in all); Editors - Data is primarily created/edited via the website, collaborative digitizing Catalogs - Data is uploaded with metadata and can be searched for and downloaded Visualization - Data is uploaded, you can style it and compose a map from the layers, and publish the map Services - Data uploaded is exposed externally via OGC services Thanks, Alex On 11/14/2012 02:11 PM, Cameron Shorter wrote: As we are are planning for our next OSGeo-Live 6.5 release, we are now seeing a number geospatial portal applications which all seem to be doing roughly the same thing, and are being developed independently of each other.
