Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo 2021 Elections

I can find some that I know for their code contribution but without any osgeo profile. I wouldn't vote aoyone wthout presentation.

IMHO not at all... using mailing list is an "old way" to manage a community. Fortunally or Unfortunally, most of community is using chat channels related with phone numbers (and/or not). I can't figure out if 33k in a ML is ten times community in IRC types channels, but for sure is a bigger community.

IMHO are common rule to avoid conflict of interest. Obviously it' really hard to avoid lobbying buying or nominating friends, common rule to reduce this are "one person, one vote", election rotation, etc. "what extra would gain with this rule", that a nomination have to be recognized by a community, not strictly related to a company.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Letter form to Schools, Universities and Institutions against free(as beer) licenced SW
Hi In Spain, but I suppone in every place of the world, there are many schools, universities or institutions that are dumped with free licences to their users. This happen especially in school and univerisities. Do we have best practices (e.g letter templates) describing the effect to teach proprietary GIS sw respect open/free solutions? whould be fine to have a template that could be enriched with national or regional laws. regards Luigi Pirelli ** * LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/luigipirelli * Stackexchange: http://gis.stackexchange.com/users/19667/luigi-pirelli * GitHub: https://github.com/luipir * Mastering QGIS 2nd Edition: * https://www.packtpub.com/big-data-and-business-intelligence/mastering-qgis-second-edition * Hire me: http://goo.gl/BYRQKg ** ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] "Hostile Takeover" -- what do we mean by this?
Hi Sara, without having a deep knowledge of decision took at higher levels, IMHO OS and particularly OSGEO worlds were already faced this kind of "hostile takeover". Not necessarly as "takeover" but trying to do some product protocols as OGC standards (think to lidar formats, map servers corporate products years ago). We are in a historical phase with GFOSS is growing more and more, probably stressing his "almost" horizontal nature to something new... but what is this "new" or "different"? In QGIS world, probably due the nature of historical components (mostly europeans), we structured the organization also to avoid/reduce these hostile effects... is this a intercultural difference or a real think to be aware? tnx to rise up this aspect.
