Re: [QGIS-Developer] Environmental policy

Hi there I like the idea of having an environmental policy which state that we are considering environmental issues as well. Likewise I support Andreas' original input, that QGIS.ORG should only fund train tickets for short distance travels to QGIS contributor meetings. I think it's

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Environmental policy

Dear Colleagues, thanks; three things, if I may add them here. I think they do matter: -train-location events sound great, but have no good global meaning. Most continents cannot be reached by or from trains (think planes, ships or others). One way or another, you need to think global, and wher

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Environmental policy

Hi all, I would just like to say I am totally in favor of having an environmental policy which would just state that we are acting and considering environmental issues in our work. I am totally supporting the idea of promoting the train for reachable places and try to avoid too disconnected place

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Environmental policy

Hi all, this is turning out a very interesting discussion, that shows the variety and richness of the approaches within our community. Please keep on voicing your opinions, so we can have a broader perspective before reaching a decision, hopefully shared by everyone. I'm sure many others have inter

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Environmental policy

Hi, 1) I don't think QGIS.ORG was created to educate people. QGIS.ORG is doing the job quite well and doesn't have to follow the latest fashion trends. 2) If QGIS.ORG starts to educate people about environmental issues, the next step will be about ethical, moral, gender, religion, etc, as we saw

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Environmental policy

Hi, Yes, I'd also like to focus on the original issue: QGIS.ORG should only fund train tickets for short distance travels to QGIS contributor meetings (and come up with a definition what "short distance" means). The other discussions about restricting usage of QGIS is a "can of worms". The

Dear Kind Colleagues, ...may I suggest to add GLOBAL PEACE & WAR issues to this QGIS discussion on environmental questions ? Arguably, ArcGIS was part-created and promoted by the U.S. military, industry etc. and recent drone applications all rely on GIS work either way. Any public development on '

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Environmental policy

Hi I am glad we have so many bunny huggers in our community. The weird thing about in-person meetings is how it dedicates and focusses people’s time and attention which I could never replicate as a remote participant in these kind of event. Maybe my donkey needs feeding or my wife wants me to s

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Environmental policy

Hi Paolo, Good point! Or many good points actually. For both the environment and inclusiveness we could think about having a more decentralized approach for the contributor meetings. Since most developers are living in Europe, meetings are in Europe, which attracts more European developers et
