Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [OSGeo-Conf] Code of Conduct in Real Case
Hi Sanghee, thanks for bringing this into the open.
There are a lot of strong feelings/opinions on this subject, which as a
strong community we will work through.
The Dali painting seems innocent.
The girl band photo, lacking a lot of context, says to me "come to South
Korea for the pretty ladies". That is obviously not your intended message.
If you had a montage of other artists from the K-Pop scene (boy-bands, the
gangman style guy, etc,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_in_South_Korean_music) it would make
your point in a completely non-controversial way. There's a lot of cool
culture going on!
Keep your head down and plan the best conference ever. We are all on your
side to make it successful.
The rest of us will *slowly* work our way through the best way to increase
diversity and implement our new CoC.
:-)
Cheers,
Percy

[OSGeo-Discuss] new AP course needs FOSS input
Hi all,
Just ran across this and thought it would be good for those of us in
education in the US to be aware...
http://news.aag.org/2015/05/aag-seeks-proposal-authors-reviewers-for-new-ap-course-in-gist/
If any of us have some time to make sure that FOSS material is included in
the curriculum, that would be ... good.
:-)
AP courses are taken in high school, and if a test is passed at the end
they are awarded some college credit.
Cheers,
Percy

[OSGeo-Discuss] re: question
Our local open source gis (PDX-OSGEO) group partners with a regional
conference (GIS in Action) each year to supply an open source "track"
in the program. The last two years we've hosted a "open source GIS
desktop smackdown", which is quite popular and fun.
The last two years gvSig and Quantum have each won one year.
gvSig + Sextante pretty much looks like it will do anything! get the
Oxford Archaeology version...
Quantum is great, it has tons of plugins, and ties into GRASS. I like
the interface a lot, and I've used it for teaching for four years. If
you have windows, get the OSGEO4WIN installer and it will set it up
all nice for you

[OSGeo-Discuss] nominating Eli Adam
I'd like to nominate Eli Adam to be a charter member. Eli has been active in the OSGEO in many ways, including the Journal, Marketing, and a few others that I wasn't even aware of until recently. He has been absolutely instrumental in getting our local chapter, PDX-OSGEO (Oregon, SW-Washington area) into incubation status at OSGEO, and generally plays a leadership role. He also actively participates in several open source gis projects, and works for municipal government bringing open source solutions as often as possible/practical.
