Thanks Steven, It is very important to understand *why* TGP is important. Why we do what we do. It is not charity. It is not throwing money to feel better. It is not spending money for washing bad behavior.*
The intent is to grow and improve our community with more and more people that, otherwise, will not be able to attend. It is enriching our community with active people. If only a fifth of this year's TGP participants continue working on OSGeo and grow the community on their area in the following years, I would be really happy and I would feel it was a good investment. * I haven't seen this feeling in our community, but I have seen this "colonial" thinking on other communities and it made me feel really disgusted. So I wanted to patch before seeing the wound, just in case :) On Wed, Sep 26, 2018 at 9:38 AM Steven Feldman <shfeld...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Jody pointed out that I posted this article in the wrong section of the web > site, so I have shifted (and extended it) to > https://www.osgeo.org/foundation-news/foss4g-travel-grant-recipients-share-their-experiences-of-foss4g-2018/ > > Cheers > ______ > Steven > > > On 25 Sep 2018, at 19:19, Steven Feldman <shfeld...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Here is a blog post summarising some of our TGP recipients experiences > https://www.osgeo.org/foss4g-travel-grant-experiences/ > > Cheers > ______ > Steven > > > > _______________________________________________ > Conference_dev mailing list > conference_...@lists.osgeo.org > https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/conference_dev _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
