Hi Maning,
The FOSS4G name is a hot topic lately, but I feel you properly brought
this up on the list for everyone, until someday if/when we have more of
a formal process. So yes, share the FOSS4G passion in your local region! :)

Dear Jeff,
Thanks for your support. So I'll take this as an approval that we can
use the FOSS4G name?
As to the official recognition of the local chapter, we will add this
as one of the agenda during the event.
I'm watching this talk [0] as I think about moving forward to official
recognition. :)

Maning,
Please also consider sending the OSGeo Board a request to become an Official
local chapter (see the guidelines[1]). This might be nice news for your
FOSS4G event! :)

Dear everyone,
We are in the planning stage again for the "FOSS4G" track in the
philgeos 2014 this coming November. We have been hitching with the
PhilGEOS conference already as a FOSS4G track for two years already
[0, 1]. Piggybacking on other conferences allow us to reduce the cost
(to nearly 0) of running open source geospatial workshops.
One question, is it in the spirit of OSGEO to "brand" this as FOSS4G
Philippines? Are there official channels to toalk and disuss?
