Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo sponsorship opportunities for 2018

Also, don't forget SigLibre: https://www.osgeo.org/events/jornadas-sig-libre-2018/ We have a lot of small and medium events we should sponsor, not everyone can travel to the big ones! And please, if you are running a FOSS4G event, make sure you add it to the web page so it reaches more people:

Dear Mark, Thank you very much for your email. I agree we should continue the discussion in the open. Now we have a clear view of the current situation from the board (and people following that list). A reason why I personally haven't moved this quicker more open is because I don't want OSGeo to

Hi Randal, How is the chapter creation going? I see there is no page yet on the osgeo.org webpage: https://www.osgeo.org/local-chapters/ Can you make sure there is at least a draft page where the contact point and the status of the chapter are reflected? Also I see there are some local chapters

Hi, Surprisingly I prefer this year's procedure. All information is there at the moment of voting on the links and there hasn't been all the noise from other years that distract from what we really want to know: who they are and what they do. El sáb., 20 oct. 2018 2:29, Jody Garnett escribió:

[OSGeo-Discuss] Hall of Fame

Dear community, Due to the recent passing of another of our members, I really think we should start some kind of Hall of Fame with people who contribute to OSGeo. As someone who hasn't been here from the beginning, I would like to have some kind of (virtual) museum-like place where I can learn

Thanks Steven, It is very important to understand *why* TGP is important. Why we do what we do. It is not charity. It is not throwing money to feel better. It is not spending money for washing bad behavior.* The intent is to grow and improve our community with more and more people that,
