[OSGeo-Discuss] call for participation for FOSDEM
Hi all, FOSDEM[1] is the largest European conference on Free and Open Source software, organised next year on 2&3 februari in Brussels, Belgium. For the past years, I've organised a geospatial devroom [2] there together with a team of other people. In the past OSM and OSGeo have also had a booth at the event. I believe it is one of the most interesting events one can attend in Europe - both on a technical level and to learn from other communities (eg there usually also is a community track [3]). It also gives the opportunity to people outside the geospatial world to learn about our solutions. I have decided that I will not be taking the lead for organising a track this year (I will be involved in organising the conference itself), but I hope some other people will pick this up. Note that the work one needs to do is spread and promote a call for presentations and make a selection of the speakers. FOSDEM itself is taking care of the venue, so one does not need to be from Belgium to organise, though of course you should be present during the event. The call for devrooms [4] is closing this Thursday. If people are interested in organising (or helping organising) the devroom - I can send you the proposal of last year. Also note that every year the number of requests for devrooms is much larger than the supply - writing a proposal does not guarantee a space.

[OSGeo-Discuss] R: The Open Revolution Book
Thank you, Suchith. A very good suggestion. Best Maria Inviato dal mio dispositivo Samsung Messaggio originale Da: Suchith Anand Data: 16/09/18 10:10 (GMT+01:00) A: discuss@lists.osgeo.org, geofor...@lists.osgeo.org Oggetto: [OSGeo-Discuss] The Open Revolution Book This book might be of interest. Details below. Best wishes, Suchith == The Open Revolution: Rewriting the Rules of the Information Age by Rufus Pollock About the Book: The Open Revolution Book An Open World, A World In Which Information Is Openly And Freely Available To Us All Will the digital revolution give us digital dictatorships or digital democracies? Forget everything you think you know about the digital age. It’s not about privacy, surveillance, AI or blockchain—it's about ownership. Because, in a digital age, who owns information controls the future. Today, information is everywhere. From your DNA to the latest blockbusters, from lifesaving drugs to the app on your phone, from big data to algorithms. Our entire global economy is built on it and the rules around information affect us all every day.As information continues to move into the digital domain, it can be copied and distributed with ease, making access and control even more important. But the rules we have made for it, derived from how we manage physical property, are hopelessly maladapted to the digital world. In this urgent and provocative book, Rufus Pollock shows that we must make a choice between making information Open, shared by all, or making it Closed, exclusively owned and controlled, and how today’s Closed digital economy is the source of problems ranging from growing inequality, to unaffordable medicines, to the power of a handful of tech monopolies to control how we think and vote. Choosing Open is the path to a more equitable, innovative and profitable future for all. Details at https://openrevolution.net About the Author: Dr Rufus Pollock is a researcher, technologist and entrepreneur. He has been a pioneer in the global Open Data movement, advising national governments, international organisations and industry on how to succeed in the digital world. He is the founder of Open Knowledge, a leading NGO with a presence in over 35 countries, empowering people and organizations with access to information so they can create insight and drive change. Formerly, he was the Mead Fellow in Economics at Emmanuel College, University of Cambridge. He has been the recipient of a $1m Shuttleworth Fellowship and is currently an Ashoka Fellow and Fellow of the RSA.
