Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Welcoming all proprietary GIS labs to migrate to Open Principles in GeoEducation

2017-08-02 Thread Suchith Anand 
We are the OSGeo's GeoForAll initiative and have our own domain name , identity 
and principles.  We have our own newsletters, website , logo and identity . 
That should be the clear distinction  from  any others newsletters or any other 
initiatives. The FOSS4G Nottingham also had GeoForAll as our motto 
http://2013.foss4g.org

Fyi,
There's a "geo for all" newsletter since ages... But is not for open source 
only ;-)

Hi Suchith,


I suggest it would be worth making clear geoforall principles for joining 
geoforall [1], which includes promoting Open Source GIS Software. (I could 
envisage a proprietary vendor claiming compliance with "promoting Geospatial 
for All", by promoting their proprietary product, or promoting an open source 
extension to their proprietary product.)

open knowledge. We also welcome all academics and educators to give away OSGeo 
live DVDs [2] to your students. Freedom is a fundamental right.

We look forward to help this  migration of former properitery GIS only labs to 
move to Open Principles in Geospatial Science education. Thanks to all OSGeo

worldwide forever.

2017-08-02 Thread Suchith Anand 
Good point Cameron. Everyone joining GeoForAll should be promoting geoforall 
principles at http://www.geoforall.org/how_to_join

We are inclusive and welcome everyone to migrate to Open Principles in 
GeoEducation. Anyone claiming promoting their proprietary product, or promoting 
an open source extension to their proprietary product as "promoting Geospatial 
for All" is not acceptable. But anyone who wants to migrate their properitery 
lab to open principles in geoeducation are welcome

Best wishes,

Suchith
