Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [OSGeoLive] Suggestions for a background image for next OSGeoLive - with an African theme

[Maelle Vercauteren]

 Hello,

I take this occasion to share this map of Africa that I like. It was Africa
if colonialism had not occurred as imagined by Nikolaj Cyon :

https://www.cyon.se/#/alkebulan-1260-ah/

If the Africa Local Chapter and the Dar es Salaam LOC likes it too, we
could try to contact the artist and see if we can use it...

Kind Regards,
Maë//e

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [OSGeo-Conf] Fwd: Joining the Communities, FOSS4G and Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team

[Maelle Vercauteren]

 Thanks for the feedback, great updates.

I was wondering if you offer scholarships for students or professionals
from developing countries ?

If so, what is the procedure (contacting you directly or is there a
questionnaire to fill out, I didn’t see any information about that) ?

Thanks in advance,

Maë//e

[OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G-Be September 22, 2016 in Brussels

[Maelle Vercauteren]

 After the very succesful FOSS4G Belgium event in 2015, OSGeo.be will
organise an new edition of the FOSS4G Belgium Conference on Thursday
September 22, 2016 in Brussels, at the Environment and Energy Agency of
Brussels.
The following day, Friday September 23, starts the "State of the map" (
http://2016.stateofthemap.org) until September 25, 2016 in Brussels too.

Save these dates to be in Brussels !

FOSS4G.be will share knowledge and experiences during the whole event
through presentations and/or demonstrations of 25 minutes each.

We are looking both for contributors in form of a presentation and for
sponsors for the event.

For more information: http://2016.foss4g.be/index.php?lang=en
For oral presentation : http://2016.foss4g.be/papers.php
For sponsoring: http://2016.foss4g.be/call.php

  chapter of OSGeo
 We should definitely work together. I believe we should first set our
 goals with OSGeo Belgium and then choose whether it makes sense to be
 under their umbrella.

 Kind Regards,

 Johan

[OSGeo-Discuss] be-OpenGIS : Free GIS Day November 6, 2014 OSGéo - IGEAT (ULB) – Brussels (Belgium)

[Maelle Vercauteren]

On Thursday, November 6, 2014 at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB)
the first edition of Be-OpenGIS-fr took place [1]. More than 100 people
participated in this day of lectures and workshops enabling them to learn
more about open source GIS tools. The Be-OpenGIS event brought together
interesting presentations, fruitful discussions and great energy.

You will soon find these presentations on the program web page
http://be-opengis.ulb.ac.be/programme.html

Many thanks to the sponsors and participants for their commitment. Hoping
to change this dynamic first successful event, a BE FOSS4G we wish you all
a nice continuation in your projects.

[Maelle Vercauteren]

Hello Dirk,
Thanks for the feedback. A presentation about OSGeo is indeed planned in
the morning session.
Cheers,
Maë//e

  Thank you for your information.
 Great to promote Open Source GIS tools, software and Data.

 What I miss in the program is a presentation about OSGeo. OSGeo-fr should
 be able to give such a presentation.
 In 15 minutes you can already give a good overview on the organisation and
 the way it is active on a global base.

 Just my 2c.

 D.

  Hi Dirk, our event details are below :

 BE-OPENGIS-FR
 November 6, 2014
 Université Libre de Bruxelles

 The Institute of Environmental Management and Spatial Planning (IGEAT) of
 the Free University of Brussels (ULB) and OSGeo-fr are organising the
 BE-OpenGIS-FR on November 6, 2014 at the ULB.

 This day of conferences and practice sessions (in French) is aimed at
 anyone using free and open source GIS tools in their professional life or
 studies. We hope to gather together those scientists, administrations,
 private companies and interested individuals using and/or developing these
 tools, or just being curious about them.

 The first part of the day will cover three topics in the form of
 presentations:

 1) State and perspectives of public OpenData in the three Belgian regions
 and in Africa

 2) Presentation of some selected free and open source tools in GIS
 including the possibilities of integrating them into existing proprietary
 infrastructures

 3) Examples of concrete applications using free and open source GIS tools

 Presenters come from administrations, private companies and academics
 active in the field.

 The second part of the day is dedicated to practical workshops and
 demonstrations on topics such as

 - Using QGIS to create your customized, tailor-made application
 - Spatial analysis and cartography with R
 - A toolchain for putting your maps on the Web
 - Advanced spatial analysis with GRASS 7

 The aim of the day is to inform and promote, but also to discuss current
 issues and needs as well as reflect on the opportunity of building up a
 community of FOSS-GIS users and contributors in Belgium.

 For more information contact Moritz Lennert (moritz.lenn...@ulb.ac.be).
 A website will be up and running soon at http://be-opengis.ulb.ac.be/.

  Hi Maelle,

 Using the name FOSS4G-Be is no problem for activities related with the
 promotion and use of FOSS4G software.
 In 2013 I organized the OSGeoGhent event [1] and wanted to organize a
 second version in May this year.

 The Global FOSS4G conference will start next week in Portland [2], so if
 you could provide more details later this week about the venue and the
 right date, we can announce the event on the general assemblee of OSGeo
 next week.

 Will the event be in English or in French?

 Regards,
 Dirk Frigne

   Dear,

 I am contacting you about the potential use of the name “FOSS4G-Be” and
 about the participation of OSGeo-fr for a future freeGIS day in Belgium
 (Website and Event):

 We want to organize a French OSGeo event (the so called FOSS4G-Be) in
 early November 2014, in relation with the GIS courses and masterclass held
 at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, IGEAT research Unit:
 It will be a one day event. There will be a selection of plenary
 communication related to free SIG use in public or private environment and
 2 or 3 practical workshops.

 This event will cover the following 3 topics:

 1) FOSS4G tools/software: Establishment/creation or storage of
 infrastructure and web sharing of spatial data
 2) Data  Services: Presentation on the freely available data and services
 3) Applications: use of Open GIS (also with guest speakers from the South)


 Would you be willing to support us and work together on this project and
 could we use the name “FOSS4G-Be”?

 Could the event be co-organized by the ULB and OSGeo-fr?
 If so, it would be nice to have an OSGeo-fr stand with a representative
 of the association and of its activities (as well as a plenary presentation
 if you are interested in).


 Feel free to contact me if you have questions or if you would like to
 share your suggestions.


 Thank you in advance for your reply,


 Kind regards,
  Maë//e
