Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G in Ecuador?

2016-12-07 Thread Jeff McKenna

Hi Carlos,

Sure, why not have FOSS4G-Nicaragua 2017, or 
FOSS4G-CentralAmerica-2017?!  Both sound really good when I say them in 
my head :)


PS> careful, you may get a direct email from me soon poking you about 
that ha!

 Hi Guillermo!

 Great news about FOSS4G-Ecuador plans, this is wonderful.  There are
 very
 few limitations and rules for holding a FOSS4G in your country, and
 that is
 why it has spread around the whole world so fast! :)  You should quickly
 purchase the domain http://foss4g.ec and then start thinking of your
 logo:
 really the only consistent part of FOSS4G (besides the FOSS4G spirit)
 is the
 ribbon in the logo, which symbolizes sharing and the flow of ideas and
 innovation in the community - check here for some past ideas
 http://foss4g.org but there are many more out there.  Another great
 example
 is the FOSS4G-SOTM Argentina 2017 logo: http://www.foss4g-ar.org/

 In terms of Latin America and FOSS4G, it is great to see so many events
 popping up for 2017 (Argentina, Brazil, Peru,...).  I also try to help
 these
 events along, so I will be happy to join your local committee meetings
 remotely and provide any help along the way - my pleasure!

 So yes please share the FOSS4G spirit in Ecuador and plant the seed for
 our
 future generations! :)  Thank you Guillermo! (and talk soon)

Guillermo,

If you wish to start with a presentation about the stack of open source 
GIS software, you might want to draw upon the OSGeo-Live presentation:


https://live.osgeo.org/en/presentation/index.html#/

Feel free to change it any way you like.

Thanks everybody,

I work at Universidad Politécnica Salesiana (UPS) in Ecuador and I'm going
to present a formal propose to organize FOSS4G-EC next year.

But, I'd like to begin with something more simple before FOSS4G-EC,
something like a meeting about a topic in specific. I'll keep in touch with
you, your recommendations are significant to me.
