[OSGeo-Discuss] Re: CEE FOSS4G projects
As a number of private replies question me about the CEE definition, I'd like to bring some clarifications. Geographically speaking, yes, Germany and Austria are definitively in Central Europe. Though, I did prefer to go with this definition [1] for a couple of reasons: 1. The level of FOSS4G penetration is more or less the same in the selected countries. A country like Germany will totally unbalance the analysis. 2. There is already a quite successful FOSS4G event for the German speaking people (FOSSGIS). Hope this clarifies a bit my position.

National or regional projects implemented using FOSS4G software; 3. Open geospatial data initiatives. I'd like to think that I know the most important projects of this kind. I also did a little bit of research over the Internet. Anyway, any information of this topics is greatly appreciated. I hope to see as many as you possible in ten days from now in Prague!

Hello Vasile, You can try to navigate by country [1] and see several gvSIG case studies in CEE region.

[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo's jobs mailing list
This is just a gentle reminder that there is a mailing list for geospatial jobs related to open source over at j...@lists.osgeo.org (archived at http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/jobs/). If you are looking to hire someone to do some open source geo work, or if you're looking to get hired to do some open source geo work, this is a good place to go. It is a moderated list with very low volume -- just a handful of posts per month. -mpg ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

When the system was set up, it was not the intent that charter members had any role other than to preserve the nature and mission of the foundation by electing appropriate board members. Things may evolve: A a founding member of OSGeo I was always very interested to keep the community strongly involved. This implies that with the years charter members may obtain a stronger role than just electing the board members. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_charter_member_page_instruction What others do: http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#asf-members ... but Jody has just send around some links...
