[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Christmas card

Hi, I really would like to have a OSGeo Christmas card, to send to our local chapter members and to add it to my email signature. Since some of us can make such wonderful maps, maybe someone can create an OSGeo Christmas card. Any volunteer out there? Maybe Till can create one that includes

The board is aware of public perception and I trust it will be on the agenda for f2f meeting. I think we can do a bit better than a statement - in our last board meeting Micheal Smith has volunteered to be our OSGeo representative to LocationTech. OSGeo is a member of LocationTech and we have

Dear cameron I'm very supportive of your suggestions. Empowering the community is also one of my personal priority. Maxi Il 16/Dic/2015 21:07, "Cameron Shorter" ha scritto: > OSGeo Board, > For the Board Face to Face meeting, I suggest asking the OSGeo community >

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4GNA - Someone is watching you :-o

I think there is another facet of communication that is being missed and is probably part of the current issue. I think the OSGeo member of LocationTech should also be responsible for keep the OSGeo membership more informed about what is happening between the two organizations. I think it is

Agree w/ Daniel in all ways. We want our events to succeed, no? So we use marketing techniques to do so. Emails and so on. And we track who opens them so we can get better at marketing. Like any other business trying to succeed. Mail chimp is currently convenient, in the past other technologies

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4GNA - Someone is watching you :-o

I can provide an update - but I am not sure what is interesting. Most of the things LocationTech does are advertised here on the discussion list (if they are an event ) or via twitter (for news ). Most communication in

Cameron: I like the approach with email lists from a social dynamic point of view. As a community member / project lead I moved to the board list several years ago to cut down on the noise. It was important to safe guard my time and board offered a higher signal to noise ratio. Still steering

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4GNA - Someone is watching you :-o

Thanks Ian for this email! I fully support what you are writing. It is very much time to stop the negative sentiments around LocationTech, FOSS4G conference offers that had LocationTech as a partner and so forth. Constructive collaboration is all we need within OSGeo AND with others in the

Pat You misunderstood or probably i didn't explained myself. I'm not against any proprietary software or company. I use google and agree to accept their term of use. I don't think there is any evil around, just people taking care of their interests. My point is that i didn't agreed to be

Hi Jeroen, Thanks for your constructive message. Ian was very constructive also. Maybe I spend too much time coding and I miss a few emails. Did Jeff resign? What have we done to upset him so much? Regards, Jorge Gustavo Às 13:29 de 16-12-2015, Jeroen Ticheler escreveu: Thanks Ian for

*"there seems to be a fairly strident Location Tech bashing going on"* This negative "bashing" of other organisations has to completely stop because it is having a massive negative impact on OSGeo. We've recently lost a respected former board member (who has resigned his charter member

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4GNA - Someone is watching you :-o

I'm concerned about the vague accusations without evidence. They also don't seem relevant to the discussion about how one's name got on various mailing lists. I don't know if MailChimp is a "standard" for some type of companies but > certainly I don't want it to be for communicating with OSGeo
