Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4GNA - Someone is watching you :-o

I can provide an update - but I am not sure what is interesting. Most of the things LocationTech does are advertised here on the discussion list (if they are an event ) or via twitter (for news ). Most communication in Locatio

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4GNA - Someone is watching you :-o

I think there is another facet of communication that is being missed and is probably part of the current issue. I think the OSGeo member of LocationTech should also be responsible for keep the OSGeo membership more informed about what is happening between the two organizations. I think it is n

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4GNA - Someone is watching you :-o

The board is aware of public perception and I trust it will be on the agenda for f2f meeting. I think we can do a bit better than a statement - in our last board meeting Micheal Smith has volunteered to be our OSGeo representative to LocationTech. OSGeo is a member of LocationTech and we have been

Agree w/ Daniel in all ways. We want our events to succeed, no? So we use marketing techniques to do so. Emails and so on. And we track who opens them so we can get better at marketing.

Hi Jeroen, Thanks for your constructive message. Ian was very constructive also. Maybe I spend too much time coding and I miss a few emails. Did Jeff resign? What have we done to upset him so much? Regards, Jorge Gustavo Às 13:29 de 16-12-2015, Jeroen Ticheler escreveu: Thanks Ian for this

Thanks Ian for this email! I fully support what you are writing. It is very much time to stop the negative sentiments around LocationTech, FOSS4G conference offers that had LocationTech as a partner and so forth. Constructive collaboration is all we need within OSGeo AND with others in the (geo

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4GNA - Someone is watching you :-o

*"there seems to be a fairly strident Location Tech bashing going on"* This negative "bashing" of other organisations has to completely stop because it is having a massive negative impact on OSGeo. We've recently lost a respected former board member (who has resigned his charter member status

I'm concerned about the vague accusations without evidence. They also don't seem relevant to the discussion about how one's name got on various mailing lists. I don't know if MailChimp is a "standard" for some type of companies but > certainly I don't want it to be for communicating with OSGeo co

Just a funny note... Nice to see that LocationTech has a FOSS4G email ( WOW!) and. that all the link on the received e-mail are connected with my user_id (I have one? Yes) and that they are tracked (!!! without inform me !!!) and... that I have been added to a list that i'm
