Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Free GIS Day November 6, 2014 OSGéo - IGEAT (ULB) – Brussels (Belgium)
Hi Dirk, our event details are below : BE-OPENGIS-FR November 6, 2014 Université Libre de Bruxelles The Institute of Environmental Management and Spatial Planning (IGEAT) of the Free University of Brussels (ULB) and OSGeo-fr are organising the BE-OpenGIS-FR on November 6, 2014 at the ULB. This day of conferences and practice sessions (in French) is aimed at anyone using free and open source GIS tools in their professional life or studies. We hope to gather together those scientists, administrations, private companies and interested individuals using and/or developing these tools, or just being curious about them. The first part of the day will cover three topics in the form of presentations: 1) State and perspectives of public OpenData in the three Belgian regions and in Africa 2) Presentation of some selected free and open source tools in GIS including the possibilities of integrating them into existing proprietary infrastructures 3) Examples of concrete applications using free and open source GIS tools Presenters come from administrations, private companies and academics active in the field. The second part of the day is dedicated to practical workshops and demonstrations on topics such as - Using QGIS to create your customized, tailor-made application - Spatial analysis and cartography with R - A toolchain for putting your maps on the Web - Advanced spatial analysis with GRASS 7 The aim of the day is to inform and promote, but also to discuss current issues and needs as well as reflect on the opportunity of building up a community of FOSS-GIS users and contributors in Belgium. For more information contact Moritz Lennert (moritz.lenn...@ulb.ac.be). A website will be up and running soon at http://be-opengis.ulb.ac.be/. 2014-09-01 20:19 GMT+02:00 Dirk Frigne dirk.fri...@geosparc.com: Hi Maelle, Using the name FOSS4G-Be is no problem for activities related with the promotion and use of FOSS4G software. In 2013 I organized the OSGeoGhent event [1] and wanted to organize a second version in May this year. The Global FOSS4G conference will start next week in Portland [2], so if you could provide more details later this week about the venue and the right date, we can announce the event on the general assemblee of OSGeo next week. Will the event be in English or in French?

There will be a selection of plenary communication related to free SIG use in public or private environment and 2 or 3 practical workshops. This event will cover the following 3 topics: 1) FOSS4G tools/software: Establishment/creation or storage of infrastructure and web sharing of spatial data 2) Data Services: Presentation on the freely available data and services 3) Applications: use of Open GIS (also with guest speakers from the South) Would you be willing to support us and work together on this project and could we use the name “FOSS4G-Be”? Could the event be co-organized by the ULB and OSGeo-fr? If so, it would be nice to have an OSGeo-fr stand with a representative of the association and of its activities (as well as a plenary presentation if you are interested in). Feel free to contact me if you have questions or if you would like to share your suggestions.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Hacking OSGeo
Fair enough - one thing that would be nice to do, at the code sprint if it would not be too disruptive, is ask the projects represented there what we could do to help. Or perhaps better asked as what help is needed :) Jody Garnett On Fri, Sep 12, 2014 at 4:26 PM, Seven se...@arnulf.us wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Sure happy to talk over lunch. And yes, Code Sprint = Code Sprint. Arguably OSGeo has some code, its just not C or Java but some weird social code that is really hard to serialize... Trying for years already but mostly creating new bugs. :-) Cheers, Arnulf Am 2014-09-12 16:14, schrieb Jody Garnett: Thanks Arnulf, I gotta spend time with committers tomorrow (Code Sprint = Code Sprint).

In past years we have brain stormed around Marketing, Sponsorship, Education, Data (specifically how OSGeo can support the Open Data model) and so on. It is a aunique opportunity to evolve OSGeo as an organization and I would be happy to contribute to anything you might want to achieve for within and around OSGeo as an organization. This can also include how (or rather if at all) OSGeo manages FOSS4G. In my experience the day directly after the event is the best time to actually do this, impressions are still fresh and lots of ideas have popped up. If we do not invest some time into realizing them we are not going to get anywhere. So if you think OSGeo needs a push in a certain direction, join. There will be representatives from the board of directors, the president (I guess you are there Jeff, right?) and other folks in key roles. It is probably the only time in the year when you will get so many bright OSGeo folks in one place. Here is a link to drop your ideas. Its a Wiki, just go hack it as you like: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Hack_2014 Cheers, Arnulf ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org mailto:Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss - -- http://arnulf.us Exploring Space, Time and Mind -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.18 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlQTgTEACgkQXmFKW+BJ1b0d8wCfZUucyn0bybH86rO01SYEW2aY 92EAnR+zka37b9BTtyQZ6qMqE6cpH6uR =7klV -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
