Hi Marc,
Many thanks to LocationTech for supporting
OSGeo events and code sprints.
As discussed with you at FOSS4G-Europe last month,
we could consider going beyond the "informal" partnership
between LocationTech and OSGeo Foundation and having
a MoU. I think this would help to answer some of the questions
that Helmut has raised and avoid any misunderstandings
in the future.
I had sent you some suggestions on drafting an MoU that you can
go through and perhaps, find time to discuss f2f with OSGeo board
members attending FOSS4G-Boston.
Best
Venka

Dear Helmut,
I am also a charter member. And much more in our ever-growing and evolving
community.
LocationTech is a partner of OSGeo, we work on various joint projects,
LocationTech is sponsor of OSGeo code sprints, we work together for many years
on FOSS4G North Amerika. We do valuable complementary work regarding community
and market development.
All this has been achieved over the years incrementally and by the efforts,
care and vision of many directly involved. An achievement, that by raising a
discussion as you propose
Your confusion thus confuses me (besides Chair of the Marketing Committee,
former Board member of OSGeoNL, member of the LOC FOSS4G 2016, Chair of FOSS4G
North Amerika and ........ Director Ecosystem Development Eclipse Foundation
with special focus on its Industry Working Group LocationTech.
Your comments are actually turning back the clock.
If you may remember, in the recent past some very unfortunately
misunderstandings have created a we/them atmosphere. The present FOSS4G in
Boston proves we are as an inclusive community moving forward. Towards
unimaginable opportunities.
Kind regards,
Marc Vloemans

"Note the LocationTech badge is not not showing correctly"
now I am, as an OSGeo charter member, really really confused about this.
What I'm really missing here is an open discussion and decision making how we,
as an organisation OSGeo, going forward to promote projects from other
organisations.
What is the added value for OSGeo to promote locationtech projects? Will
locationtech also promote OSGeo projects? Why not promote projects from any
other org? Who will decide which project or other org will be promoted?....
Too many open questions without any sound background for me as an OSGeo charter
member.
Kind regards
Helmut
