Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo is becoming irrelevant. Here's why. Let's fix it.

This is a perfect example. All of those are great and wonderful things! The community does great and wonderful things. That’ s not my point. My point is, those activities would happen even if the OSGeo Foundation disappeared. I’m not questioning whether we have a large and vibrant community,

[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo is becoming irrelevant. Here's why. Let's fix it.

The recent discussion on the board list that came out of the question of the 2014 videos has got me thinking about a few things again, and I want to try to get them out there. Grab a mug of your favorite liquid and hunker

[OSGeo-Discuss] Question(s) for board candidates

I have a set of inter-related questions for board candidates. 1) What do you see as OSGeo’s purpose today? 1a) What is OSGeo doing today that it shouldn’t be doing? 2) What do you see as OSGeo’s purpose in five years? 2a) What should OSGeo be doing in five years that it *isn’t* doing today? 3)

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [OSGeo-Conf] Code of Conduct in Real Case

I’m not sure who the “we” you are referring to here is, but it certainly does not include me. I am absolutely, 100%, interested in having more women become engaged in FOSS4G. Please don’t make such sweeping generalizations. We are a broad community, a global community, but we are not truly

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [OSGeo-Conf] Code of Conduct in Real Case

I don’t think the reason why OSGeo has not so many women are caused by lacking of CoC in OSGeo. According to the statistics National Centre for Education Statistics[0], women have outnumbered men in American colleges for last 35 years. Great. Why are so few of them in positions of power?

[OSGeo-Discuss] Fixing FOSS4G (was: Hacking OSGeo)

FWIW, what I want to ensure happens is that the issue of partnering with LocationTech does not get conflated with fixing how FOSS4G is managed. What is clear is that things cannot continue to go on as they have, especially if OSGeo is serious about expanding FOSS4G, both in size and scope. I

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] MS Geospatial programs focused on FOSS4G

It doesn't focus exclusively on FOSS4G (no sane program would), but the Penn State program makes fairly extensive use of FOSS tools, especially in the programming classes. Darrell On Dec 6, 2013, at 07:54, maning sambale emmanuel.samb...@gmail.com wrote: Dear everyone, A couple of

The Cookbook, Lessons Learned, and the recent 2013 summary have been the most valuable for us. The archive may have some value as a historical artifact, but that kind of higher level stuff is far more valuable. The day to day discussion threads simply do not matter. And I'm with Steven,
