When people ask me how should they start on the GIS world, I always give
them two advices:

* Read the Libro Libre de SIG Libre[1] (only Spanish, translations

If OsGeo disappeared, someone should invent it.

Hi Barry,
No, please no!! FOSS4G is easy to pronounce in several languages, includes
the word Free and is the name of the conference. OsGeo is ¿"just"? the
organization behind it.
I think it will make even more sense to change OSGeo to FOSGeo.

Hi,
Another reason *not* to change the name: if it is called the OSGeo
conference, non-OSGeo software or companies will feel rejected and don't
want to come. I find it very refresh to be able to discuss non-OSGeo but
FOSS4G things in this kind of conferences.
Regards,
María.

Hi,
I think it makes sense to have WorldWind at least as a community project.
But it has to be WorldWind who requests it as a project. We can only invite
WorldWind to join, as we have already done. If Jody was not explicit
enough, I can do it again:

Dear Mark,
Your effort for this FOSS4G is impressive!
In my opinion, changing previous rules and experimenting with different
approaches is a good thing. If we see that the outcome is not what we
expected, we can always rollback for following years. But what if the
outcome is better than ever? Wh

smallest amount can make a huge difference to people who can't afford to
travel to FOSS4G.
Have a happy day!
María Arias de Reyna.
OSGeo President.

This is me writing as a person, not as board. This is my personal opinion.
Again: not the board, not the president speaking. Nothing official. Just me.

Dear women attending incoming FOSS4G,
Join us to meet other women attending FOSS4G + HOT Summit who are
interested in closing the gender gap and working towards diversity in
our communities.
GeoChicas started gathering more than 2 years ago in the State of the
Map events and are excited to partic
I agree this is a good topic to bring into the open, and not an easy
one. For what I have seen, FOSS4G Asia organization is doing a good
job, this is just a hard subject to address. Even if that keynote
lineup was full of women (like in main FOSS4G!) we still have to check
about the rest of speaker

racial diversity this year but forget about them in the following
years.
Also, good time to remind amazing work of TGP for bringing economic
diversity to FOSS4G (which is another huge concern).
