It is so depressing that barely 6 weeks before our major event, when dozens of 
people are working every hour available while still doing a day job, that this 
kind of a conversation distracts the BLOC and the wider community.

Is "presented by” “hosted by” “organised by” such a big deal? I really fear 
that we may be losing a sense of perspective. If the board wants to vote on 
this and change the guidance given to the BLOC then so be it, I would hope that 
they have higher priorities.

Otherwise let’s say a massive thanks to Guido, Michael and the Boston team and 
leave them to get on with organising OUR conference.

Hello,

we're looking for help testing OSGeo-Live 11.0 beta1 and translating docs.

In particular, we need help:

1. Testing. Run Quickstarts and verify they work. Join us on irc://freenode.net#osgeolive 
  this weekend, 8 & 9 July 2017, for our testing 
sprint.

2. Check if any new features need to be added to Project Overviews [2]

3. Update review status in our spreadsheet [4]. (It really helps us know if an 
application has been reviewed, and by who).

4. Translate docs that have been updated. (Note, our spreadsheet [4] lists a 
number of retired projects which need updating in the overview.rst contents 
page and metrics.rst page.) You find the documentation at [2]. Read how to get 
the documentation fom github and how to make pull request [3].


OSGeo-Live is scheduled to be the default installation at FOSS4G 2017 
workshops. We strongly urge all workshop leaders to test OSGeo-Live now and 
provide feedback, while there is still time to tweak anything required for the 
workshop.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Thank you to Boston LOC

2017-07-04 Thread Suchith Anand 
Charlie, thanks for sharing these excellent updates. Great work on setting the 
Academic track infrastructure for future FOSS4G events. 

I want to thank all the Boston LOC volunteers for their commitment and efforts 
over many months to make FOSS4G 2017 possible. The magic of FOSS4G is team work 
and volunteer efforts . Your volunteer efforts are inspiration for everyone and 
spreads energy to future teams.

Let's keep the momentum, the mojo, the vibe and focus on the future!

Thanks Marc,

As an OSGeo Charter Member, a co-leader of GeoForAll, and OSGeo's education 
efforts, and someone in Massachusetts (but not really active with the BLOC), I 
couldn't help but say that I am seeing first-hand the efforts of the Boston 
LOC. FOSS4G 2017 Boston is going to be GREAT and the BLOC has been working like 
crazy to pull off a really terrific conference.

Turning to Marc's point of focusing on the future and his references to 
FOSS4G-NA-2018 and FOSS4G-2018...

I also wanted to let the community know about infrastructure we've built for 
FOSS4G 2017 that can be used by future FOSS4G conferences. I (along with two 
terrific and hardworking people -- Mohammed Zia and Andy Anderson) have been 
managing the FOSS4G 2017 Boston Academic Track and the peer-review review 
process for the papers and posters as we build the conference proceedings. 
We've set up a proceedings review and publishing system based on BePress 
Scholarworks that is paid for under my university's subscription (thanks to all 
reviewers!). It will cost OSGeo and future FOSS4G conference organizers 
nothing, and it has a very nice paper review system (like EasyChair, but again, 
no cost). Once the proceedings are published, the open access papers' metadata 
will be fed into many library databases for easy discovery. The proceedings 
will be stored at [1] but we will also create a full pdf version that will be 
published on the OSGeo Journal [2]. The OSgeo banner on [1] will be replaced 
with any new branding that might be coming. (I've kept Venka and Helena 
informed on this activity.)

The key point about the future:

If anyone who will be at FOSS4G Boston will be part of an organizing team for 
future FOSS4G regional or global conferences, please contact me so I can show 
the backend of the conference review and publishing system. It's a great 
resource that is now available for any future FOSS4G conference, at no cost.

Cheers,

Charlie Schweik

Oggetto: [Geo4All] GeoAmbassador– Prof. Dr. Josef Strobl

Dear colleagues,

On behalf of the GeoForAll community, it is my great pleasure to honour  our 
excellent colleague Prof. Dr. Josef Strobl as our GeoAmbassador. Josef Strobl 
is a Professor at the Department of Geoinformatics at the University of 
Salzburg, Austria.  He is one of the pioneers involved in expanding 
geoeducation esp. online GIS education through the UNIGIS International 
Association . He is not only the chair of UNIGIS but also the brains behind the 
success of UNIGIS . Josef  is the force behind GI_Forum GeoInformatics Forum 
Salzburg which helped establish University of Salzburg at the centre of key 
developments by bringing together the GI-Forum community to discuss new ideas 
and developments for the future.

I greatly admire his leadership abilities and vision. When we established 
GeoForAll, he was one of the first visionaries that we approached to serve on 
our Advisory Board . We thank Josef and colleagues for establishing the 75th 
OSGeo lab at the University of Salzburg. More details at 
http://opensourcegeospatial.icaci.org/2017/07/geoambassador-prof-dr-josef-strobl/


We are proud to honour Josef as our GeoAmbassodor and we are extremely grateful 
for his contributions to Geo for All. Josef is a great ambassador for 
Geospatial Science globally. May I also use this opportunity to send greetings 
on behalf of GeoForAll to all colleagues now  at GI_Forum 2017 this week (July 
4-7 , 2017) and wishing them productive meetings and discussions.

Best wishes,

Suchith
