[OSGeo-Discuss] Topic talks in Paris on FOSS4G-Europe

In exactly 16 days, Foss4G-Europe will start in Paris. The first day we will have 2 topic talks[1]. Topic talks are an important platform for the OSGeo community to discuss and debate about important 'topics' concerning OSGeo. The two topic talks on Wednesday 19 July are about one of the

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Board] OSGeo is the host of FOSS4G not a guest

Dear All, With my 'Marketing-hat' on, I have followed this thread with interest and growing apprehension. As is often the case with this type of discussion-thread: everyone makes a serious point, but we are jointly still far away from a solution. The good thing: more and more of us seem to care

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Board] OSGeo is the host of FOSS4G not a guest

Dear Maxi, First of all thanks for your raising concerns over this. And I’d like to share my thoughts on this with you & others. 1. As a non native English(or Latin) speaker, I couldn’t tell the difference between ‘hosted by OSGeo’ and ‘presented by OSGeo’ and even ‘organised by OSGeo.’ To

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo is the host of FOSS4G not a guest

Massimiliano - I have no doubt you are sending the emails for the right reason - BUT - to do this only 40 days out and call for a vote from the OSGEO board is disheartening. It is for me - This should have been a discussion for post-Boston - Not now. At least do it off channel with Michael and

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo is the host of FOSS4G not a guest

Hi Guido, I don't understand why you are frustrated and disheartened by this conversation. We're not discussing on climate changes :-D To All of you, (i swear it is my last mail in the tread - maybe -) My point of view is very simple: OSGeo is not a sponsor of the event, is the "owner" which

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Board] OSGeo is the host of FOSS4G not a guest

As a OSGeo charter member and as someone who had a very small supporting role in organizing a past FOSS4G-NA, I have seen a glimpse of the enormous amount of effort it takes to successfully organize a conference. In addition to all the normal conference logistics, FOSS4G has the additional

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo is the host of FOSS4G not a guest

I have to disagree here, to me it is clear that OSGeo is presenting ("owns") the conference while by listing the contributions the OSGeo provides (seed money etc) formally on the Sponsors' page/list it makes it clear just how much money (and time) the OSGeo is putting it into the event. By

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Geo4All] Help needed on Open weather data

Dear Suchith and all, you may take a look at OpenWeatherMap (https://openweathermap.org), although I am not sure you can extract data for the last 10 years. All the best, Marco Marco Minghini, Ph.D. GEOlab, Politecnico di Milano - DICA Piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32, 20133 Milano (Italy) +39 02

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Board] OSGeo is the host of FOSS4G not a guest

Good morning folks, First, I have no problem making adjustments to the website. It's not a big deal and can be done rather quickly. That said, I am a bit frustrated and disheartened by this conversation. The tone to me feels aggressive and discounts the reality of the work that the LOC has put

[OSGeo-Discuss] Help needed on Open weather data

Dear colleagues, I have a request for help. Rahul Tomar and students from IIIT Jabalpur, India are working on the GODAN-NASA Challenge. Thier project called FarmsNtech aims to help farmers by providing a complete understanding about the weather pattern to maximize the crop yield or lessen the

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Board] OSGeo is the host of FOSS4G not a guest

Well, I am a part of the community, and I don't agree, not with this point of view and not with how similar conversations keep recurring. This is not the OSGeo that I recognize anymore, for this one seems more concerned with how it is perceived than what it does. I'm outta here … -- Puneet

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Board] OSGeo is the host of FOSS4G not a guest

Hi, I also agree with Maxi. I think the point we have to care about is that OSGeo is visible prominently on the F4G-conference-website and also during the conference. We put a strong focus on OSGeo-presence in 2016. Till Am 03.07.2017 um 09:17 schrieb andrea antonello: > Hi all, > I

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Board] OSGeo is the host of FOSS4G not a guest

+1 Andrea, this was my intention: not produce additional costs but fix ASAP what is possible (e.g.: website) given that the board and the community agree with my point of view :-) Maxi 2017-07-03 9:17 GMT+02:00 andrea antonello : > Hi all, > I completely agree
