Someone would answer that is a do-ocracy :-)

Apart from this, I also share the same concerns of Helmut and would like to
have a clear rule/strategy on this...

[OSGeo-Discuss] Collaboration is the way forward: Note the LocationTech badge is not showing correctly

2017-08-17 Thread Marc Vloemans 
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

Helmut

- this is the open discussion that we are having, so please keep letting us
know your concerns - they are not ignored and you are not alone. We need
the input from the community to make the decisions on what is presented at
the OSGeo web site and how.

Thanks a lot for your reviews and comments, rest assured they will be taken
into account,

Helena

[OSGeo-Discuss] Note the LocationTech badge is not showing correctly

"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

Dear All,

I am sure that all those of you who are attending FOSS4G-Boston are

Ricchard Stallman 's keynote is scheduled for today. If someone
has the opportunity, please remind Stallman that it was the chance
meeting with me on the flight from Hanoi-Bangkok in  2004
that marked the beginning of FOSSS4G. We have come a long
way since then.

He wrote a motivating message [1] for FOSS4G-2004 held in Bangkok, 
Thailand.

Had he not insisted (and made me realize the importance) in adding "Free"
when he agreed to write his message, our conference would perhaps
taken some other name.
